ambiguous recipes
I was disappointed with the recipes. Davis did not use standard nomenclature. For instance, she writes, “Cover and cook on High for x minutes.” If she meant “cook on high pressure,” she should have said so; the reader has guess her intention.
No indication of whether to do a Natural Release (and for how long) or a quick release after cooking is done.
I think her timings are way off. For instance, her recipe for salmon calls for 5 minutes. In my experience, fresh salmon takes only 2 minutes. Her instructions would result in overcooked salmon.
Finally, there’s a lot of repetition among the recipes, essentially the same recipe with a slight variation. I assume she did this to fulfill the promise on her cover — 1001 recipes — but instead of a thousand lackluster dishes, the reader would be much better served by a hundred well tested distinctive dishes to prepare.
I only spent 99¢, but it’s not even worth that.

Unbelievable
The recipes/book isn't well organized, the recipes are a random grab bag, and the nutritional data is all wrong. I checked the USDA data for calories of ingredients in several recipes and every time I found the recipe to state fewer calories than even the main ingredient of the recipe would supply!
Ie. If your recipe serves 2, each getting 1 chicken breast, and 1 breast is 400 calories, you DON'T get 280 calories per serving from the completed recipe!

Watch carb counts on the recipes
I went through this book, which is an odd and unusual collection of recipes for the Instant Pot, but what bothered me was the incorrect dietary information included at the bottom of each recipe. For example, figs stewed in grape juice, the carb count on this recipe is "2" per serving. Figs alone have 10 carbs in each one, let alone being steeped in grape juice!!!

Highlights versatility of the instant pot
Really does highlight the versatility of the instant pot. I prefer to see examples of completed dish, there are none.

poorly organized
There is little rhyme or reason to how the recipes are grouped within the bare categories. An index would have been helpful.
