20 Minute Meals - Jamie Oliver App Reviews

I was gifted this app and absolutely adore it. I have used it literally 5 nights out of the past 7, and made something completely different every night. It really has helped me get more creative with our nightly meals- I can make risotto now! The videos are very helpful, but the most useful for me are the written steps thta I can scroll through whilst preparing them- they are laid out clearly and you really can get these amazing meals done in a short amount of time. Last night I made the Orchiette and Brocolli dish with some sausage and my boyfriend was shocked that it took less time than a cardboard pizza from the freezer. "I would pay for this in a restaurant" he said. One night herbed pork and lentils, the next night Szechuan stir-fry, such a great variety. The shopping list is very useful- I went through all the recipes and found what I wanted to make, different "types" of dishes every night, and was able to stroll through the farmers market and the grocery store just ticking them off one by one. The ingredients required for the recipes are nothing "fancy" nor expensive, the major expense is in the quality of meat you prefer, the rest are things that last a while in the pantry, or are fresh produce that can be used in multiple recipes. Also very helpful is the ability to portion many of the recipes for either 2 or 4 people. I cannot recommend this app enough, I truly hope other people try it- just for the risotto alone! Love it, thank you Jamie.

This app is dead, $8 and no updates. Not worth the money. Dont support their new app either. They need to learn how to take care of the customer!

Awesome interface and good content. Please update this app for the iPad!

The recipes are tasty and the pics/videos are great but there are ZERO updates! No new recipes at ALL. Im sick of seeing the same recipes. Jamie.. Youre a complete disappointment. This was such a waste of money.

When I purchased this app, new recipes and updates were included as part of the description. To date, at least 6 months later, there has been nothing new.

Along with Ramsays App, it inspired this borderline chef to press on, beyond the App, to culinary brilliance! Value for money? Probably. Perfect? Not quite...and not because of a lack of updates. After all, cook books dont get updated, most (good ones) cost more than this did, and they arent in the slightest bit interactive. Recipes are only let down, but they are pretty good. Just not extraordinary.

Great an tasty recipes. Very disappointed that they are no longer providing new recipes as promised. I love Jamies recipes and philosophy, but i cant support this app. Do not support any JO apps until they start providing new recipes again.

For $7.99 you would expect to have more recipes. Sure the step by step pictures and videos are nice, but the app has a limited number of recipes. Instead of updating or adding new recipes, it directs you to his website for recipes. I can do that without having to pay $7.99 and installing the app on my iphone. Epicurious and Foodgawker app for the iphone, which are both free apps, have tons of recipes for free! Dont waste your money!

PLEASE make the icon retina display compatible

This app is wonderful I love it!! COMPLETELY worth the 8 dollars!! I like that my I have been using this app for the past 4 months every day. My choices are limited in what I can make which is perfect for someone who is so indecisive as I am. Sometimes Ill make the same pasta dish in an entire week!! My husband and I love that we can shop for ingredients by servings. This app is wonderful!! Jamie, I love your show, your recipes, and your amazing dedication to wanting to make folks healthier!!

Good meals, but not worth $7.00 for the too few recipes. This app needs to be updated more often. Im sure Jamie knows more meals than the ones posted.

I thought this was pretty neat at first, but Ive had it for many months now and have yet to see a new recipe. Youre basically paying $8 for a very small number of recipes (less than a quarter of the 60 are particularly interesting/useful). Considering its not that hard to browse a better variety of recipes online with any web-enabled phone, this unfortunately feels like a pretty forgettable app, and a bit of a rip-off.

Made my first dinner using the app. Great tasting. Great, easy to follow, complete instructions. Really truly well thought out and executed. My one suggestion: Allow that great shopping list to be: 1) In one shopping list for all the recipes Im buying for. For example, if two recipes ask for a pound of chicken breast, combine that into one list so I see, oh, I need to buy two pounds; and even better would be... 2) Make it easy to export that shopping list in a format readable by other list apps. For example, we use Wunderlist for our grocery list. How great it would be to punch a button and send the shopping list from Jamie Olivers app straight into our Wunderlist app. That may be asking too much...but it would be awesome.

My cooking skills didnt go past the microwave or grilled cheese. I can honestly say thanks to this App I got a lot more tricks up my sleeve for making a great dinner!

If you like cooking videos, Jamie Oliver and Laura Vitale are the two must-have apps! Lots of great cooking vids and very inspiring!

Instructions for this update: Download the free Jamies Recipes app, if you dont already have it. After you update 20 Min Meals, launch the Jamies Recipes app. It will automatically download all of the 20 Min Meals recipes. It isnt clear if the developers want us to switch completely over to Jamies Recipes now or keep using both. Ill probably just use Jamies Recipes, since its a universal app.

Integration does not work. I am missing half my 20 minute recipes in the Jamie Oliver app. I tried restoring purchases but that did not work either. Please fix.

This easy to use, visually intriguing app teaches you how to make stuff as well as giving out recipes. Want to know how to sharpen your knives? There is a friendly video. Want to know how to cook with fresh herbs? Check out the video before you use the clearly presented recipes with their photos, voice overs, easy to follow format. WOW.

Im enjoying the quality of dishes in this app, and the videos have the ability to show you just what youre after, rather than a simple instruction. I do see the point of the other reviewers with no updates or support. I still feel the app is worth the money, but would be amazing if it did have support and new recipes.

easy to use, delicious food and truly inspiring!
