The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about xtraCHEF.
- The App Store listing (publisher xtraCHEF, Inc.) states the app requires an existing xtraCHEF customer account, so it cannot be signed up for or used without a separate commercial contract already in place.
