The versatility of app is great. If it cannot scrape the information from the recipe site. You can manually add. The plus is being able to access on a desktop, which makes copy and pasting so much easier. Once saved on app using desktop, it’ll sync to your chosen device once you open app. I […]

Excellent app! And has a browser version too! Lets you make meal plans and makes auto grocery lists from the ingredients when you choose your recipe. Thank you for a great app! Also imports recipes from wrb urls, and lets you take a picture of a recipe on paper and it converts it with a […]

Overall, I think this is my favorite recipe manager. I wanted a simple, straightforward app for storing my own recipes and easily copying recipes from other sites. The supporting web app is awesome and recipe importer has been flawless so far. My only complaint is the layout of recipes. I’m not in love with the […]

I paid for the upgrade and have been disappointed since. When copying via a url,measurements do not always come out right; seems the app wants to put numbers in front of items sometimess, so I’m always having to go back to the internet site to check them. I don’t bother contacting the programmer, because last […]

We’ll worth the price. It’s like transferring your recipes to index cards with almost no effort AND being able to sort them to find or get ideas for exactly what I want. From internet recipes to my mom’s recipe cards to recipe books, I can add them all and look at them from any device. […]

Years ago, I bought this app before they turned into a subscription service. I was told that I was grandfathered in, and could still use it. A few months ago, they discontinued my ‘deprecated version’ of the app. No problem, I’ll just use the website. Login today and im told you only get 40 recipes. […]

this is my absolute favorite recipe organizer app I have ever used! If you’re looking for a recipe organizer that makes cooking and meal planning effortless, CookBook is a must-have! This app shines in its ability to sort and categorize recipes with ease, thanks to its intuitive tagging system. Whether you’re looking for quick meals, […]

I like the app the font the layout. I didn’t mind that you had to switch tabs under the recipe, although maybe having it in one place would be good too. But I didn’t like is that you only get to store 20 free recipes for the free version. Then it’s a monthly subscription. I […]

The best recipe manager app that I’ve used so far. My favorite feature is that I can plan my meals for the week and have it generate a shopping list for me. I’d love to see a social integration, where I can follow and share my recipes with friends (you currently can do this, but […]

Currently sad as I imported a first recipe with a url. Had to fill in a lot of info and add photos. Now that I’m trying to save it, it won’t let me continue without stopping a photo upload. The photo it’s trying to upload is still from originally importing it. It is not allowing […]

I just got this app, both on my PC and phone. Finally! It’s been probably over a decade, and finally technology has given me exactly what I want and more! I wanted to organize my collection of magazine and book recipes, then search by ingredient. This app does that and more. The AI was able […]

This app has been everything I was waiting for in a recipe app. The recipe adding is simple, tag system is awesome for organization, and it has a web app that lets you edit and add recipes in your browser, which is amazing. I reached out to their support team and they were incredibly helpful […]

I have really enjoyed this app. I use it for all my recipes. It does a great job of downloading various formats of recipes. I’m generally cooking for a larger group and I really like how I’m able to adjust the serving sizes and the ingredients automatically adjust also. I chose the lifetime version, because […]

Love it, and wanna love it more. I absolutely love how many different methods I have for getting the recipes into the app. Love that I can use it on my phone or laptop. Main thing I’m not loving is the ability to create shopping lists based on my recipes. The combination of ingredients from […]

This is an updated review. I rated 5 starts with compliments before, had to change it to 2 because of the service. The time I purchased the app it was for one time payment, not monthly, not yearly. I have over 200 recipes saved then suddenly my account is limited now. Turns out I have […]

Best app of its kind I have found. I tired many others, and almost every one was a bloated mess trying to be a social media app. I don’t want 10,000 recipes from random people or food blogs. I want a app that can consolidate the recipes Ive tested into one place, lets me do […]

I have been using this app for years and love its ease of use, importing, and simplicity. It is easy to find popular recipes using the recent recipes option. Import your favorites using any URL. One bug note about the import feature: After copying the URL you have to go into the app, go out […]

The new update glitches all the time. ever since the app was updated. It constantly freezes whenever open it. So disappointed, especially since I literally just had paid my annual fee . My Android phone is up to date so this is because of app update. It seems this app update was released way too […]

Update: I changed to one-star briefly but the most recent update brought back swiping between the ingredients and instructions (thank you!). The new logo is a huge disappointment though. Old: Quite genuinely my favorite app I’ve ever stumbled upon. Well worth paying the developers for their hard-earned efforts. Been using it for many years. Introduced […]

Love the app. It is very easy to use and search. However, I personally would like to store more than 20 recipes, and I can’t see myself paying $60/Yr for the rest of my life to unlock to store more than that. There are other products where you can customise and print out recipe books […]
