Here’s my review of begged for. It’s garbage. You can’t get into the actual app until you put your credit card info in, whether it’s for the 7 day free trial you ultimately have to cancel, or for the ridiculous monthly price. The fact you can compile a bunch of info from google, then proceed to charge people a monthly fee for it is hilarious. If you pay for this, you’re a fool. Just bookmark some drink site and put it on your home screen. I just saved you money and time. If this all it takes to make an app, think it’s time to quit my job.

This has always been a nice simple app, with a handful of key recipes, which is why I used it on a semi regular basis. No muss-No fuss. However, they have added new content, a few (??) new recipes, and many other optional features. Of course you don’t need to access any of this extra stuff to “use the app“, and you still get a fair amount of free recipes, but quite a number of recipes are now locked and require you to watch some advertising or do something else to gain access to them. A handful of my favorite recipes are now locked. And DEFINITELY watch out when you login the first time. The advertising to try to get you to spend $$ on a subscription is so hard to close, my iPhone tried to charge me twice because I didn’t hit the X “just right“. If my thumb had been on the fingerprint reader, I would have been stuck with a big old charge. I support the developers right to do anything they want with their app, but I’m not impressed with the amazing amount of new advertising, which in itself always makes me suspicious of ad tracking, etc. I think it’s time to delete this and move on.

This was one of the first apps I ever downloaded and the longest lasting in my inventory. I used to love it. Even when the ads were introduced, I understood. However, after a recent update, many of the recipes I had marked as “favorite” are now locked and requiring me to watch a video or buy a subscription to see a recipe I’ve probably used hundreds of times. This, I cannot understand and am now looking for a replacement, even if it’s a quick Google search that provides several options, each with its own review. As a very long time user, this is extremely disappointing.
