Best recipe apps and food delivery services that use the most data

Hello everyone. I am planning my weekly meal prep and downloading a few new cooking apps to follow along with video recipes. I was just wondering which food or recipe apps you all use that tend to drain your data the most when streaming videos. I want to make sure I keep an eye on my monthly allowance so I do not run out before my next renewal. It would be great to hear what you all use and how much data it roughly takes up. Thanks...

Hi ​@levia_21

 

Streaming recipe apps like Tasty, Yummly, Kitchen Stories, and BBC Good Food can use a lot of mobile data when you watch video tutorials, especially in HD. On average, streaming a 5‑minute cooking video in HD consumes about 50–70 MB, so frequent use can quickly add up to several GB per month.

 

Thanks,

Anneline
