🔍 I can’t find my craving in the search. What should I do?

Try searching with more general terms instead of brand names. For example, instead of “KitKat Chunky,” try “chocolate bar.” This helps CraveFlip suggest the closest craving flips for you.

➕ Can I suggest new cravings to be added?

Yes! If your craving isn’t in the app, you can submit it directly. Our team reviews submissions regularly and adds new cravings so the database keeps growing.

🍳 Will there be more recipes in the future?

Absolutely. We’re always working on adding new healthy flips and recipes to keep your cravings covered.

🍔 Why do I see the same healthy flips for different variations of a craving?

We group cravings by their main category (e.g., “burger”), and variations (like cheeseburger, bacon burger, or double burger) fall under that category. Since the core craving is the same, the healthy flips apply across variations.

✏️ Can I modify the recipes?

Yes! We encourage you to adapt recipes to fit your nutritional profile and preferences. Just try to keep the core idea of the flip (fewer processed ingredients, less added sugar/salt).

🔄 Will there be more craving variations in the future?

Yes, we’re constantly expanding categories and taking feedback from users. If you don’t see your specific craving, please let us know.

💡 How can I get the best results from CraveFlip?

- Search smarter: Use general terms like “chips,” “cookies,” or “pizza.”
- Browse categories: Explore sweets, fast food, fried snacks, and more.
- Save favorites: Bookmark the swaps you love for quick access later.
- Adapt to you: Modify recipes to fit your diet, while keeping the core flip.
- Stay curious: New cravings and flips are added regularly — check back often!

🤝 Can I share my flips with friends?

Yes! You can share your favorite flips directly with friends to spread the cravings love.

💸 Is the app free?

Yes, CraveFlip is free to use with ads. We’re also working on a Pro version with extra features, but the core app will always stay free.

🌍 What regions is CraveFlip available in?

CraveFlip is available worldwide. Most cravings and flips are focused on the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Western Europe, but we’re expanding every day.

🕒 How often is the app updated?

We regularly update CraveFlip with new cravings, recipes, and features based on your feedback. Keep checking back, there’s always something new.

⭐ How do I give feedback or report an issue?

We’d love to hear from you! You can send feedback directly in the app or email us at [email protected].

📶 Do I need internet to use CraveFlip?

Yes. You’ll need an internet connection to browse cravings, get recipes, and submit new flips. Without it, the app won’t function properly.

⚠️ Do CraveFlip alternatives consider allergies or intolerances?

Not yet. The healthy alternatives shown do not take allergens or personal dietary restrictions into account. Always check the ingredients to make sure they fit your needs.

🔐 What happens to my data?

Your privacy matters. CraveFlip does not sell your personal data to third parties. Any data you provide is only used to improve your experience with the app.

🥼 Is this nutritional or medical advice?

No — the content here is for general information and inspiration only. It’s not medical or nutritional advice, and it shouldn’t replace guidance from a qualified health professional. Everyone’s body and needs are different, so if you have specific health concerns or dietary requirements, it’s best to check in with a doctor or registered dietitian.
