What users say about Sidekick by Sorted Food
From the 50 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Sidekick is highly rated for its meal planning, grocery list generation, and ability to reduce food waste, with many users citing it as a stress-reliever for weekly cooking. However, US-based reviewers frequently note friction due to UK-centric defaults (measurements, ingredients), while others report technical issues such as app freezing during onboarding or UI scaling problems on newer devices.
Mixed but leaning positive (74% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being easy to use, and its features and content. The main complaints are about price and subscriptions, and crashes and bugs.
