02 Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account?+

No. Sous Chef has no sign-up, no sign-in, and no account of any kind. Open the app and start using it right away — your pantry list, saved recipes, and cooking progress are all stored privately on your own device.

Why do I see ads?+

Sous Chef is completely free, with no subscriptions or purchases. Occasional ads (shown via Google AdMob) are what keep it that way. See our Privacy Policy for details on what ad data is involved.

The app crashed or froze — what should I do?+

Force-close and reopen the app first. If it keeps happening, check Settings → General → About for updates, or update from the App Store. Still stuck? Email us with your device model and iOS version and describe what you were doing when it happened — that helps us fix it fast.

Can I use Sous Chef offline?+

Yes — adding ingredients, browsing recipes, and cooking step by step all work fully offline. Only recipe photos and ads need an internet connection to load.

How do I clear my saved data?+

Since everything is stored only on your device, uninstalling the app permanently removes your pantry list, saved recipes, and cooking progress — there's no account or server copy to separately delete.

I have a feature request+

We'd love to hear it. Email us a short description of what you're trying to do — real requests shape our roadmap more than anything else.

03 Still need help?

Email osamaapps96@gmail.com with your device model, app version, and a short description of the issue — screenshots help too. We read every message.
