Our verdict on Good Food
Good Food is a paid recipe app from Immediate Media for people who want a broad recipe library alongside meal planning and shopping tools. Its catalog is stated as more than 18,000 recipes, including over 1,000 app-only recipes, with new additions each month. Subscribers can search with filters, browse meal plans, save recipes into collections and view recipe videos. The app is available on iOS and Android, and a subscription is required for access.
According to the vendor's pricing page, the Monthly subscription costs $4.49 per month and the Annual subscription costs $39.99 per year. Both provide subscription access to app content; the published plans do not describe different feature sets. The annual option is the lower-cost choice for someone planning to subscribe year-round, while the monthly option avoids committing to a full year. Good Food is therefore a fit for mobile cooks willing to pay for ongoing access rather than for people seeking a free recipe app.
The practical appeal is the connection between recipes and preparation: meal plans can inform shopping lists, saved recipes can be grouped into collections, and Cook Mode keeps the screen awake while following a recipe. That combination suits people who want to plan and cook from a phone or tablet. Its scope is less suitable for anyone who needs access beyond iOS and Android or wants a distinct paid tier with additional capabilities. Choose Good Food for its sizeable recipe catalog and integrated planning tools; look elsewhere if avoiding a subscription or using another platform matters more.
