What kind of investors subscribed to your round? Institutional VCs, angels, friends / family? Did you have pre-existing relationships with any of the investors? And if you're comfortable sharing, how much did you raise?
Wow! Excellent feedback! Sincere thanks for putting in the time to not only try the app, but also share such thoughtful feedback.
I hear you loud & clear that you'd like an easier process for keeping your ingredients up-to-date. This is the common theme I see across your suggestions. We've got some great features in the works to make it happen. You touched on some of them. And suggested good ideas for others that we hadn't considered. Kudos!
is Half Lemons the first app to do this? nope. can 9 out of 10 home cooks name another app that does it? also nope. that's because noone's gotten it right.
but iPod wasn't the first mp3 player ;) our secret sauce is our human curation of recipes on the app. a custom search algorithm. and relentless focus on user experience above all.
try it out. you'll see the difference is dramatic!
Half Lemons doesn't do accounts. No sign-ups anywhere. It's an app, and it's freely available to download on the App Store. Our website is just a landing page. Hope this helps!
The Half Lemons app is available for iOS, and it's the first thing I've built! I'm a product manager by trade, and I learnt to code (Swift) to build HL. Very excited to hear any feedback from the community.
It's freemium. And offers lifetime purchases and monthly sub. Will experiment with adding an annual sub soon.
