Thank you!!
Marley spoon has giving me so much excitement and cooking again everything I’ve made my husband loves, it’s just fun to try new things and not have to go to the grocery store. Can I thank you for providing this wonderful tasty service.
Terrible Quality, Terrible Service
Constantly missing ingredients (even the main proteins!) and the ingredients that do arrive are poor quality. They sometimes offer a very small discount but it doesn’t cover the cost and inconvenience of getting the ingredient yourself. Honestly this service has made my life more difficult and the whole experience has been a disappointment. I’ve never received a correct shipment. The shipments themselves are often late.
New Font is too Small
The font with the recipe instructions is too small. Please go back to the way it was or give us options to make it bigger.
Once great now who. Knows
The last three weeks have been less than half of the order ingredients and the half that does arrive is damaged and spoiled with packages haphazardly thrown together and spilling the customer service is horrendous and the same automated response of an unforeseen issue can’t really be unforeseen if it’s been the same pattern for a month the service has been dwindling for some time now it’s definitely time for a change
Only portrait mode. Website is better.
I wanted to like this app but who uses their iPad in portrait mode in the kitchen? This makes the website more appropriate in this case.
Great app. Even better meals.
I’ve ordered from a handful of these meal kit services, and for me, Marley Spoon is the best. Others either repeat the same meal choices over and over, or use the same spice/seasoning packs with every meal. Marley Spoon really does offer new, exciting meals every week. You’ll never get bored! And final product is 🤌 Cannot recommend enough. I mean unless you hate non-boring food 😝
Martha Stewart still stealing from us, now with Marley Spoon
They were great for the first few months and fell apart since. They will reimburse you for missing ingredients but it doesn’t cover the actual cost of purchase. Late deliveries and missing food is a constant battle.
The help articles are no help at all
I want to order physical recipie cards, but it is more chalkenging than cooking. The help article says I should go to settings, which i can not find in the app. Otherwise I love marley spoon, the app and the recipies. … but apparently not the help articles
Poor communication
I didn’t get what I ordered….twice! Then…when I paused it….they kept sending. No number to talk to in support. Food is fine though. Seems short staffed. Not sure
The “Start Cooking” button is broken
On both iPhone and iPad the start cooking step-by-step instructions no longer work. And while I possibly have your attention, the landscape view for this app only works part of the time
Good app - minor suggestion
Hi - good app and offering just wanted to put in a suggestion of including the recipe times in the preview section when selecting meals for the week rather than needing to click into each meal to see how long it takes. Thanks.
App good. Service bad
I keep ordering 26 items per box, 20 meals, 6 market items. I keep receiving about half the items I order due to “supply constraints”. Then I have to email support about missing items and they give me $30 credit. Like I’m missing $100 worth of food, but hey, here is $30 for your troubles. And then that $30 is credit, so you need to buy another box to get any use out of it. And go figure, next box has the same issue. Order is never fulfilled 100%. Maybe smaller boxes arrive without issue. But then don’t offer an 18 meal box when you cannot fulfill 18 meals. Don’t let me add more meals when you cannot fulfill those meals.
Love the app but…
I’m loving using Marley to cook and love everything about the service but the app should have the option to log in the nutrition facts to the Apple Health app. I have to do it manually and don’t like it. The developer should consider to add the option to add to Apple health
Not the best
The premade microwaveable dinners are not that good, and I had constant problems with the wrong items being delivered or being inedible. It didn’t help that FedEx delivered my boxes late several times, and often in terrible condition. Customer service was not particularly helpful, and sent me form letter answers which did not address my concerns. When I responded, they ghosted me.
Need more interesting meals with ingredients I wouldn’t necessarily have on hand.
At first, we were really excited about our meals from Marley Spoon. But lately they have become very mundane and more like express meals. I can pick up chicken and green beans, or pasta and sauce, at the store. And that’s not very exciting meals. The Mill seem more like for working with kids who want a real quick meal. We like to cook together and take our time. Hopefully meal choices will improve.
Great meals
Loving Marley Spoon. It takes all the fuss out of meal planning and shopping. We are eating healthier too. I’ve learnt to check the nutritional info when selecting meals to avoid the really high fat choices and have been pleasantly surprised by how good the meals are. It’s rare for me to modify dishes as they’re quite tasty. Once once the delivery was delayed by one day and I’ve never had anything missing. Would definitely recommend.
This service is fraud
Don’t bother
Aanpassen keuze recepten
Sinds kort crasht de app als ik de recepten wil aanpassen. Nu kan ik alleen via een webpagina de menu’s aanpassen
Need to optimize app for iPad
It is super annoying to open this app in iPad and have it force you to vertical orientation. The iPad app needs to be optimized for horizontal - since that is the way that everyone using an iPad case with keypad uses the device. Shocking that this has not been corrected by now. Otherwise the app performs fine.
Good food but not enough of it.
The portion sizes are really small, I have to order 4 servings for 3 of us and that’s just way too expensive. Other than that the foods good, tastes really good. The apps pretty easy to use.
Easy prep & tastes delicious
We’re having meet free Mondays & Tuesdays plus I love to cook. Marley Spoon makes it easy, no shopping needed, easy prep & tastes delicious. Thank you.
Too Many Issues, Do Not Recommend
I was a raving fan of Marley Spoon for more than five years, essentially since the company was getting started, and I’ve watched it grow tremendously over that time. Unfortunately, I’ve also watched the quality of its operations and customer service decline to the point where I finally cancelled my subscription. Over the years, I have experienced just about every issue you could imagine from a meal-kit delivery service: wrong recipes, missing ingredients, spoiled or moldy food, delivery delays, incorrect items, billing issues, overcharging, and promised credits that were never actually applied. I kept giving Marley Spoon the benefit of the doubt because I genuinely loved the service and wanted to remain a customer. I kept telling myself things would improve. Instead, they progressively got worse. The final straw for my family was receiving an entire box of meals that we did not order. Not one incorrect meal, the entire shipment was wrong!! Making matters worse is how extraordinarily difficult it has become to get meaningful customer service and in contact with a human representative. Trying to reach someone by phone often means dealing with automated/AI systems that send you through a loop without actually resolving the problem. Email support hasn’t been much better; in my experience, responses can take days or even until the following week. When you’re dealing with spoiled food, an incorrect delivery, or a billing problem, waiting that long for assistance is simply unacceptable. I’m also extremely concerned about the billing discrepancies I discovered. After reviewing my credit card statements from approximately the past year and comparing them with the charges amounts displayed in the Marley Spoon app/account, I found multiple instances where the amount charged to my credit card did not appear to match what was shown by Marley Spoon. There were also occasions when I reported spoiled or moldy ingredients and was told I would receive an account credit, only to later discover that the expected credit had not been applied. For a subscription service that charges customers, there needs to be absolute transparency and accuracy when it comes to billing. What makes this especially disappointing is that I wasn’t a customer for a few weeks or a few months. I stayed with Marley Spoon for more than five years. I remained loyal through countless mistakes because, when everything went right, I genuinely enjoyed the meals. But eventually loyalty has to go both ways. I have now cancelled my subscription and moved to a competing meal-kit service, and so far the difference in reliability and customer service has been significant, like day and night. Marley Spoon has a good concept and some genuinely great recipes, but the complete operational failure problems, lack of accessible customer support, repeated fulfillment issues, and my concerns regarding billing ultimately made the service impossible for me to continue using. After five years of being one of their biggest fans, Marley Spoon has permanently lost my business. And frankly, if I were Martha, I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with the customer experience this company is currently providing.
Schöne Gerichte
Eine gute Idee. Wechselnde Gerichte zum selber kochen. Fast immer schmeckt es. Warum ich nur 4 von 5 Sternen gebe? Es könnten zumindest einige Gerichte etwas aus dem Mainstream sein. Sushi zum selber rollen, russische Küche…. zumindest einige Gerichte könnten etwas anders sein.
OrderLate. Wasn’t Great. Left Irate.
My first Marley Spoon box was a complete miss. The delivery showed up after the cutoff window — I have the timestamp to prove it — yet the company insists it was “on time” without providing any evidence of their own. The ingredients had labels, but nothing tied them to the actual recipes. No grouping, no color coding, no logical organization. Trying to cook a meal felt like a scavenger hunt with missing pieces, and the recipe cards I needed weren’t even included. I couldn’t make a single dish. Customer support responded with a sugary tone, but absolutely no substance. Every time I asked a direct question, they dodged it and repeated the same talking points. Not one of my specific concerns was addressed. I even filed a BBB complaint. The company responded twice with nearly identical copy-and-paste replies, and the case ultimately closed as unresolved due to their refusal to answer the actual issues raised. Bottom line: I paid for meals I couldn’t cook and got customer service that sidesteps real problems. There’s potential here, but the execution and accountability need serious improvement.
Portrait mode
Since the last update the app only works in portrait mode on iPad, not in normal (landscape) mode. This is highly annoying, especially when using the iPad in a keyboard case. The preferences page for the automatic selection is also missing a “no vegan/vegetarian” option.
Waiting on my free box , meals look amazing
Very simple to sign up , meals look great
Do not use
Marley spoon was really great until recently. I have used them for about 3 years, and until a few weeks ago I was very happy. Then something happened, unclear what. Incomplete meals, late deliveries, no way to contact customer service, and laughable refunds have made this service unacceptable. Please save your money and use someone else.
Ios- app failure
Io-app wil niet meer openen.
Great recipes terrible packaging
Used their device for months because they had great variety and interesting recipes but their packaging is bad and customer service is not responsive. I had to buy additional ingredients multiple times because ingredients were damaged and unusable in the box
Delivery delays
Not super impressed and will be going back the Every Plate once the discounts run out. First box delayed due to production delay. 2nd box delayed due to public holiday, but the public holiday was yesterday, my box was due today and I only found out today that it was being delayed. It’s not really good enough. Will I get my 3rd box in time? It really throws out meal planning and budgeting when it’s delayed, as I do not have an affordable grocery store nearby
First delivery today
Instructions on box - Front door — but delivered to front gate - which invites ‘borrowing’ here in St Kilda.
Repeated fulfillment failures and useless credits
I canceled Marley Spoon after weeks of delivery and fulfillment problems, including delays, missing ingredients, substitutions, incomplete meals, and painfully slow customer service. The final straw was my last box. It was supposed to contain 8 meals. Marley Spoon contacted me beforehand saying 2 meals would be unavailable and issued account credit for them, so I expected the remaining 6 meals. The box arrived with only 4. They failed to even notify me that two additional meals were missing. Even worse, their standard solution throughout all of these problems has been account credit toward future orders. My final box was actually purchased using credits I had accumulated because of problems with previous paid boxes—and even THAT box arrived substantially incomplete. Credits are not meaningful compensation when customers are repeatedly having problems with the service they are being asked to order from again. I have spent far too much time reporting issues, waiting for responses, and trying to get orders I already paid for properly fulfilled. I canceled because I completely lost confidence in Marley Spoon’s ability to reliably deliver what I ordered. At this point, I don’t want more credits. I want the money I actually paid for my previous failed orders refunded. Meal delivery is supposed to save time and make life easier. Marley Spoon accomplished the exact opposite.
Recensie
Gerechten zijn top! Jammer dat de zakken er niet meer zijn. Overeeeg nu zelf vast boodschappenlijsten te maken want t voordeel/gemak dat je een zak uit de ijskast pakt waar alles in 1 keee I. zit is weg.
Need Landscape mode for iPad version
Please allow app to rotate to Landscape
Broken app
Would be 5 stars but some recent update broke the “start cooking” button so now it doesn’t work.
Absolutely delicious!
We have found the meals to be absolutely delicious and would highly recommend it to anyone looks for a meal service. When we have had the occasional issue, the response has always been excellent as well. We love our MS meals and always look forward to them.
Broken
They have switched something and now don’t send all the ingredients for a recipe. When you ask to have the recipe refunded they refund individual ingredients and leave you with half of a recipe.
Terrible customer service
I created an account to be able to see what meals they offer. After reviewing the options, it want a good fit for what I want in a meal kit delivery service. Within 5 minutes of creating the account (and adding payment information since it’s talked go be able to create an account and therefore see the meals), I cancelled. Since the account was created after the window to cancel orders (but apparently not to place them?) an order was submitted and I was charged despite no longer, and frankly not even initially, wanting the meals they had to offer. Upon reaching out to customer service to resolve this, I was told there wasn’t anything they’d do to refund or cancel the order and the charges stood. There was no options given, only references to their ordering policy; it felt like a scam to get money even if you don’t want their services. I ended up having to dispute the charge with my credit card provider instead and am still awaiting decision on that when a simple refund would’ve fixed the problem entirely. I would not recommend them.
Cannot open the cooking instructions
As of the last release, pressing the “start cooking” button does not open the cooking instructions anymore.
All great .
Thank you for your help and amazing fresh ingredients. Even me that’s a daft cook can make a great meal ! X
Vibe coded by 8th graders.
Does the team have any product people? Try to “invite a friend”. You can type in their name and email. Bleh. Or create a shareable link. But when you create the link, you can’t copy it. It’s there. You can tap it but that only leads you to canceling it. This is insanitary.
How do you get it so wrong?
Just not sure how they get this app so wrong. Rotation appears to now be broken. Why???
Everyday rewards
Pls fix the everyday rewards issue where you can’t unlink a card. Have tried customer service multiple times but nothing has been done
Well done
I’m actually impressed. It’s a very easy app to navigate! Annoyed that it took me so long to try out haha.
Payment options suck
The service was great for a long time then they changed payment processing and I use a dedicated card for this and it fails every time now. Customer service never gets back to you. Still waiting and it’s been two months. They need to offer pay ahead so I can choose to pay as I’m selecting my meals what payment I want to use. They always canceled my order before I could reach out which was less than 24hrs. After they changed payment processing they stopped delivering the same. The box I got last week had all rotten produce. Needless to say canceled.
Love the food. The app is no longer ipad-friendly!
This review is only about the app. It is now only opening in portrait mode — and not like an iphone app, it’s full screen. Please fix this! We have been using this service for some time and really love the food/recipes. But not being able to use the app in landscape on my ipad is annoying.
Desert options!
Please and thank you
