Easy and does exactly what it claims to do. im forever saving recipes then can’t find them . this put them all in one place with a picture and an ingredient list. can also put into categories like sweets, snacks etc.

Works well most of the time, but recipes with multiple sections (like a cake and icing recipe) sometimes get mixed up or improperly simplified. As long as you know enough about cooking to know if the recipe looks messed up, this app is a great way to skip all the clutter and just get to […]

great but only being able to save 12 recipes for free before pay wall is lame. maybe if it were cheaper, I’d consider it. Edit: For less than 50 recipes I wouldn’t pay. I can always screenshot the recipe. But for over 50, I’d be willing to $1.99 a month max. You’re really not offering […]

This is a really good idea and I was excited for it, but after a couple of days I was unable to save or move recipes to collections and all of my collections but 1 have disappeared. I Uninstalled and reinstalled, everything came back but disappeared again a few minutes later. It took some time […]

update: After another year of using this app, I haven’t changed my mind. It’s the best one for my purposes. I just love how easy and tidy the interface is. The subscription fee is a small price to pay and since it’s yearly I really don’t mind. 12/15/22 -Love this app! Super easy to use […]

Almost perfect. Great for simplifying the recipe for viewing but useless if you want to print. Ability to print is expected as basic feature that shouldn’t require a recurring paid subscription. I’d like to quickly print a recipe that’s not 8 pages long & move on with my life. Not take a screen shot. Not […]

This is a goldmine. And it’s free! It doesn’t just take out the swarm of gnats they call ads, it also removes the long, arrogant, tedious story that seems to come with every recipe nowadays. There is also a spot to categorize and save recipes. You can donate, which I’m going to do because it […]

The best recipe app I’ve found, but the pricing is high. I’d happily pay $10-ish for a lifetime license, but avoid subscription based apps unless there’s a lot of server side costs associated. With this app, there’s no reason it can’t be done mostly by the client. Cost aside, functionality is great. There have been […]

I love how the recipes are layed out, as well as how the categories are so simple to set up. It completely bypasses the long stories at beginning of recipes online. And also that you can import them from Pinterest. The only downside is that in the free version, you can only have 20 recipes. […]

Finally a modern design in a recipe app. Beautiful layout and although its lacking some basic features (grocery list), there’s a nice roadmap with those features on the way. I know it’s been said already but the one caveat is no lifetime purchase option. I totally understand the reasoning, and the yearly subscription isn’t too […]

This app works great, and support is very helpful! I follow a lot of cooking pages on social media, and I tend to save almost any recipe that comes across my feed in case I want to try it later. I left a previous review that mentioned issues I was having saving further recipes (when […]

I have a character limit and I can’t say as many nice things about this app as I want to! So here’s the quickest version I can write: You can edit recipes. You can convert between metric and imperial units. You can hit the share button on a website and click the app icon to […]

Genuinely a good experience with this app. Everything is sperated nicely into easy to read segments. The free version is still ad free, just with limited recipes but the number of recipes it allows you to save is enough for you to decide if this is the ad for you. One thing I would like […]

Totally love it! None of that mumbo jumbo to sort through just to find the ACTUAL recipe. Like, no one wants to read your life story I just need to bake some bread. Will probably need to upgrade to the paid version to save more recipes, but 20 saves is a pretty generous start for […]

This app was ahead of its time, but they’ve done nothing to improve it. I’ve paid for premium for years, and they still have no import, no export, and I’ve found a better solution. After canceling in the app, they have repeatedly tried to charge my credit card, so far five times. I’m fed up. […]

this is the single best app I have ever downloaded. I store all of my recipes here, it is endlessly useful. I have only seen them encounter a technical problem once in the several years I’ve been using it and I only know about it because they sent out an email (which they don’t usually […]

I’ve loved this app for a long time now. It’s amazing to skip all the heartfelt, and beautiful stories (I’m sure) of the recipe in the food blogs, through this app because sometimes the “Jump to recipe” button doesn’t exist or is broken. I do pay for the premium, because I do use it a […]

My wife and I love this app. However, it would be nice to have more items added to the app. 1. able to pin my favorite recipes to the top of the category. 2. ability to add additional layers of categories so I could have a main category of Beef and then subcategories of Dinner, […]

A super useful app for anyone like me who cooks by looking up recipes online, shopping for the ingredients, then using that recipe. I save my favorite ones here and they’re stored online. They added a feature that generates a shopping list for ingredients you’ll need. Makes it so much easier to read than trying […]

if there is an app that is more useful and more needed I have not found it. this app saves me so many times I can’t even begin to express it. I can finally read the recipe and make it without the BS blog post about how this ingredient reminds you of a happy time […]
