The Android App is Here!!
I thought I was excited when the Budget Bytes iOS app was released, but I think I’m even more excited to announce that the Budget Bytes Android app is FINALLY HERE! The wonderful team at Sidechef has been burning the candle at both ends to get the Android app ready and out to you as soon as possible, and they did it in just under a month! So thank you for your patience and I am beyond joyed to finally be able to offer you the Android version of the Budget Bytes app.
>>Get the Android App Now!<<
The Android version of the Budget Bytes app has all the same great features of the iOS app, including:
- Faster and easier access to the recipes you love without waiting for a website (or annoying ads) to load. Plus, you can save recipes to personal “cookbooks” to access your favorites even faster.
- The ability to filter recipes by price to get recipes that are the best fit for your budget.
- Adjustable serving sizes let you cook the amount that you want and reduce food waste.
- Access how-to technique videos right in the instructions so you can cook with extra confidence.
- Cook with me, in real time! We wanted to make this app extra personal, so you’ll have my voice giving you step-by-step instructions as you cook.
As a reminder, there are currently 100 of the top Budget Bytes recipes loaded onto the app, with more recipes to come! Now that we have the Android app finished and ready to go, we’ll be turning our focus to adding more recipes to both apps.

Hey Beth,
Great app! I was looking at your website and I think it would be awesome if you made this post or just an area on the homepage have a way to get the app like a cta area. It would make it easier for new visitors to find! Just a thought! Keep up the awesome work
I am definitely still working on messaging and getting the word out! :) I do have a link at the top of the page “Get the App!” that takes people to a page dedicated to the app, but I plan to add more avenues as well.
I was going to buy the program and download it for my phone, but some of those permissions requirements look pretty sketchy to me. *Identity and accounts? *Contacts? *Phone status and identity? * Device ID and current status? *Run at startup? *Use accounts on device? It’s almost a laundry list for permissions you shouldn’t give out unless you utterly trust the program. Camera and sound use? Hmm, ok, it does use pictures and video but why does it need *Record audio permission?
I usually dont win anything either xP …. But i was working with this cellphone brand (AGM) and i know myself that their promos are legit ( thats something!) Check this one: gestyy(DOT)com/qCNPew is something about a charity or so. Good luck for those who are interested… maybe is better :S !
I didn’t even get this email until this morning. I guess I can’t sign up to get a download code.
Thanks for listening… go Beth well done!
FINALLY!!!! I’m excited to download the app on my Android smartphone. Awesome sauce!!!!! :-)
Excellent!
Yes, great news! I’m so happy! Congratulations!
Wish I could have given more than 5 stars on my review. App looks great! So glad it works on my older-than-dirt version of Android.
YAY! Thank you, Beth!! *scurries off to the Play Store*
For those of you who can’t find it in Google Play.. You will need to type in Budget Bytes Delicious Recipes and it should come up. Very excited for this… not sure I want to pay the price just yet.
Yay! So excited for this ap!
Darn, I guess i should have looked at what recipes were in there before downloading. Both the ones I’m making today and tomorrow aren’t in there yet, lol.
Will daily recipes continue to be posted on the blog, for those who do not purchase the app? Hope so! Thanks.
Yes, nothing is changing about the website. :) The website will always be first and foremost. The app is just an added side item, like an ebook.
Woohoo! Been waiting for this since you announced the iphone app. Just bought it :)
I left an extensive review of the latest iOS version that includes iPad support. It is very buggy and has issues that impede on a seamless user experience, including the screen not resizing when switching from portrait and landscape modes, leaving a large black space that takes up half of the screen. Also, Why do I have to sign up to a third party service to save/favorite recipes, when I paid $3 for the app? And why am I bombarded with a message to sign up to an account everytime I load the the app, when I paid $3 for it? This is a basic feature that shouldn’t require me to sign up to another account. If you want to add favorites syncing, then sure, require a signup- but I should be able to favorite a recipe locally to the device, after paying $3 for the app. Otherwise, it seems very spammy, typical of a free app that has ads all over it. I’m hoping these issues get resolved in a future update.
I’ve been a fan of Budget Bytes for nearly 10 years now. These app issues shouldn’t overshadow and distract the user away from viewing your awesome recipes, but it should provide a seamless experience; especially after paying $3 for it.
Yay! What Sarah said :)
Yaaaaay! I entered to get it for free, but I may be impatient and buy it. So glad you put it out on Android!
OMG I’m so excited!!! THANK YOU for the android app!
So the app is exactly the same as the website? You should just charge for the website and put everything behind a paywall. There really isn’t a benefit to the app.
