I have used this app for years, I first installed it in 2016. It makes meal planning so easy! I also use Paprika to catalog the recipes I want to try from my cookbook collection. I have fully customized my app to include categories for seasonal and ethnic dishes and well as entree/brunch/dessert, etc. * edit to add I have now been using Paprika for 10 years and still love it.
Reviews for Paprika Recipe Manager 3
← Back to Paprika Recipe Manager 3So far this is amazing. Automatic downloads with the ability to add my modifications for my food allergy substitutions or personal preferences. The only thing I'd change is to have the search "button" right after or below the search bar when you go into the browser/search setting instead of having the download "button" in that general area. edit: 8/12/25: Still very pleased!The ability to add my own mods in the edit function & have the orig recipes below my notes is great!!!
This app was recommended to me by a friend. I used the free version for a while until I wanted to add more recipes (the free version maxes out at 50). It is worth the upgrade! I love being able to find new recipes within the app, or paste a link to a recipe I found elsewhere and download it. I can take pictures of cookbook recipes and use Google Lens to capture text and transfer it to the app. Searching my saved recipes is easy and making grocery lists is a breeze!
Good app, I lean on it quite a bit to keep track of my experiments in the kitchen. I do wish it was much easier to download a recipe into the app, because using the browser requires a few more clicks than I am usually interested in doing. Overall, it is a handy little app, recommend it to anyone looking to store their recipes.
I have ARFID caused by ADHD. I only eat certain foods and even those I get tired of and prefer to just not eat. Coming up with meals for the week used to be a nightmare for me and my husband. I used to save all my safe recipes in my bookmarks and make lists by going back and forth. I used to dread the effort it took and it made my ARFID worse. This app has made it easier to organize all of my safe recipes and make a grocery list. It's caused less issues between me and my husband. Thank you!
I looked long and hard for an app that could store, organize recipes and create shopping lists. I love that it allows me to share recipes easily and now that I figured out the browser function, I search directly through the app. my ultimate goal is to create a cookbook and I don't think this app will do that but it's certainly a wonderful tool to gather, edit and meal plan on a day to day basis until I'm ready for that endeavor.
Absolutely love this app. So much so that we bought the PC version as well so we can pull recipes from the net better and annotate things easier. This is our #1 go to place to keep our recipes, from anywhere! **2025 Update** I want to say I love that you pay ONCE... this is one of the best things about it. So tired of subscription based software. That trend can F right off a cliff and die. The feature that allows you to browse to a webpage with a recipe where you can then click "DOWNLOAD" ❤️❤️❤️
The recipe organizer I've used and loved since version one. Create a recipe from scratch, or easily download recipes from any online source. It can sort and filter using any categories you want, and can also be used to plan a menu and shopping trip for your menu. I frequently cook for guests and coworkers and enjoy being able to easily share recipes through the app, as well as constantly recommend it to any interested parties. As a cooking enthusiast, this app is a key part of my life!
I just want to start off by saying I never leave reviews.. this recipe planner is by far the best I have ever used. We have a family of six. I needed something that I could store my recipes in, that would create a grocery list, and help me create a weekly or monthly menu. And it needed to be easy. This is that and MORE! I love that it can sink to all of my different devices. Thank you!!
Nearly everything I've wanted in a recipe app for years. Easy to use. Nice interface. I've been transferring over 400 recipes in various forms off of Evernote and it's been easy to import them, copy & paste transcriptions, search out and load them off of websites and blogs, and in some cases, dictate them using the microphone function on my phone (Pixel) I highly recommend this app. I only wish it were easy to have a friends or family function to share my entire recipe collection with my mom
I cook/bake ~4 recipes a week and this app helps me keep everything in one place. I import recipes from blogs/ sites (NYT cooking too) and edit them with my preferences and notes after I make them. I use the grocery list feature every week, manually adding items that aren't from my recipes. I think I've convinced at least 4 others to download it and they all like it! even more fun to be able to share recipes now. give this a try!
Best recipe app I've ever seen. I struggle with cooking but it's been incredibly helpful to pull the important info from online recipes so I can find what I need in the heat of the moment. I love using the groceries feature and planning meals for the future (and seeing the last time I made something too). When I first started using the app years ago, the UI seemed a little simplistic, so I expected bugs and other quirks. But the simplicity is where it shines, especially with no ads.
I have been searching for a replacement for Pepperplate since it no longer imports recipes, but I can't find an app whose UI is as sleek and pleasing to use. Paprika is ok but looks like it was designed by an amateur, with careless font choice and lack of alignment. The import, while a bit clunky (instead of going to the recipe when done stays on the site and makes you go search), does import even oddly formatted sites quite well. I prefer the look of RecipeSage, but their import barely works.
This app is great, I love how you can download recipes from any website straight on the app so there isn't any weird copy and pasting. I intended on buying the full version but was waiting until the free version ran out of space, I was expecting maybe 10-20 recipes on the free version but it was closer to 45! I also love that you can create categories for your recipes, makes it easier to find if you have a lot of them. This app is definitely the only one I'll be using to save my recipes.
The app has worked beautifully for years with no complaints. Now all of a sudden the app no longer enables downloads of recipes from the web. I've tried syncing, updating, uninstalling and re-installing all to no avail. And most disappointing is that the developers offer no response or assistance. I see that there are others who have written of this same issue...with no response. Disappointing.
No ads! This is the best recipe app I've ever used, and I've lost over 20 pounds since using it. Not only does the built-in browser allow you to seamlessly download recipes as needed, it also has a built-in scaling function that does that math for you if the original recipe is too much/too little. I ended up paying for full access since 50 recipes weren't enough, and it has allowed me to integrate my planning, shopping, and cooking seamlessly. I'd rate it higher if I could. 10/10
I don't usually rate apps but this one deserves my time! It is the #1 app for organizing my kitchen - it is very easy to add recipes from sites that are friendly to it (and it keeps track of where recipe came from), you can edit the recipe as needed, and then you can make a grocery list that includes what recipe you need the item for. You can keep track of what is in your pantry and there's a calendar to do menu planning. I really do love this app and whole-heartedly recommend purchasing it!
Highly highly recommended! So easy to keep all my recipes together, organized, and handy! Removes the ads. Simplifies. Clear. You can make all your own categories so when I want a specific recipe, it's easy to find. Totally worth the small purchase for the full app. Only one catch... I have to open the recipe in Chrome to get it to load into paprika, which is just one more click.
It's one of the very few apps I've spent money on. One-time fee, decent enough at pulling most recipes from the sites. I like to tweak everything, and editing is easy, too, although when editing a long string of text, it constantly moves to the bottom even though the cursor is way above.
My family really loves this app. We have been using it to meal plan and follow recipes for months now. It's changed the way we handle dinners (and even desserts)! I love being able to import/create recipes and edit them whenever I want. No other meal planning/recipe app compares. The only thing that makes me rate it slightly lower is that you have to pay if you want to use the desktop app, which would've made this a bit more convenient for me since I prefer to use my computer for most things.
