Recipes Not Showing Up
     
by samced98 · December 16, 2025

None of the recipes that I’ve saved/posted are showing up in the app.

No thanks.
     
by CT311124 · October 7, 2024

This app was a big waste of time. Was not very intuitive to figure out how to use, many in-app links didn’t work. The most useful feature is the recipe scan and I have to pay per scanned recipe? No thanks.

Great resource
     
by CA2OH · September 6, 2025

Provide timely, seasonal recipes and great tips for beginning to experienced cooks. Store your favorite recipes and find recipes that can use your leftovers or ingredients. Thorough program for all kinds of cooks & recipes.

Hard to use
     
by paebersole · August 7, 2025

I loaded this app to save recipes I had saved in my email. I couldn’t move them to this app

App is buggy of late
     
by Nickname Scmickname · December 10, 2025

I’m a paying customer and the app is unacceptable at present. My folders don’t stay sorted. Sometimes they are alphabetized, sometimes not. Even back and forth. Totally random. I cannot always edit my recipes. When adding a new recipe in the app—your own, or from outside Big Oven—it kicks you to the website within the app. Trying to use the web-based tool from within the app involves pinching, zooming, difficulties highlighting text… As the app is essential on mobile—and as it’s a far weaker experience than the desktop version—I can no longer positively rate Big Oven.

Great App!
     
by Trekker4lifee · September 22, 2025

Love it! You can find recipes by just searching on 1 ingredient! I love Big Oven! An amazing app! I told all my friends & family! I also love the fact that I can add notes to a recipe with a small yearly fee!
