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 use a tablet, easier to read with bigger screen. I'm using the free 40 and is great. I'm at 37 recipes at the moment and once I reach the 40 threshold, I won't hesitate the lifetime purchase.

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 little help on your part, into a recipe in the app complete with picture !! I love the app, give it a try!!

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 "tabbed" design for ingredients and instructions, I think I'd rather have a more linear/scrolling view for reading recipes. I'd love to see some other view options in the future.

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 time I did, I did not get a solution to another problem. NOW, the "improved" shopping cart is only made to take items from recipes; I can't have an editable, independent list.

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. The meal planner is great. The only thing I don't rate as 5 stars is the grocery list.

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. I need to delete 25 recipes to be able to continue viewing the content that I painstakingly entered over years. I just cant help but view these as blatantly predatory business practices.

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, healthy options, or international cuisine, finding the perfect recipe for the day is just a tap away.

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 would rather have seen a one-time buying at a certain price for all the additional features. I deleted it found something else

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 it's via sending files over email). Another great feature would be being able to see how you're doing against your macro goals when planning meals for the week. Otherwise a great app!

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 me to cancel the upload as it's just a loading circle. And I don't have the option to continue without saving the un-uploaded photo.
