Paprika Recipe Manager 3 Reviews

No categories?

Grandma's Frame

First of all, it has crashed repeatedly, but I’m assuming that’s a bug that can be fixed. More of an issue for me is that I don’t see my recipe categories when I’m looking at a list of recipes. (Or am I missing something? Because I can’t believe this isn’t here.) You have to open the recipe to see them. That’s a dealbreaker for me. Also, as others have said, the copy and paste from a browser function is a necessity. I’m not always in Paprika when I happen to find a recipe I want to save. Update: still no recipe categories when you are looking at the list. Please fix this! And the pictures on the list are a lot smaller than in the old version. I’m still using the old version because this is not an “update” and I paid more money for it!

Recent changes are great but one minor annoyance

Flurr Ball

The updates are great overall and worth the price if you ask me BUT there’s something that changed that I don’t care for. When I save a recipe from Safari via the iOS share feature, the old paprika would just give me a black “RECIPE SAVED!” pop up that would fade out after a second. Perfect. Now, however, when I save from safari via the iOS share feature, I am taken out of safari, into paprika, AND then I still have to “save” the recipe AND return to safari manually. The old way was much more convenient and fast. I don’t want to edit the recipe on the fly. I want to quickly save it and move on. If there was a setting to control this behavior, I would give the app five stars for sure.

Love it, except...

I have always loved everything about this app and have it on my computer, IPad, and IPhone. After the latest update, however, it no longer automatically asks to load a copied website so that recipes can be easily downloaded. Now, you have to highlight the Pinterest address in the search bar and delete it, then paste in the desired copied web address. Not too big of a deal, but still aggravating when it used to work so seamlessly. Hey, developers... can you fix this please?

One of my favorite apps

I have enjoyed this app for years, but Paprika 3 needs a way to change the iCal export times like the original Paprika. Please update to include this feature.

Best Recipe App Out There

9374737

Absolutely love this app and have been able to save all my favorite recipes. Works great. Love the shopping list creation function. My only concern is that Support cannot seem to be contacted readily as there is no contact information within the App that I could see. For some reason all of a sudden since their latest update the “Detect Clipboard URL” function even though I have it turned on stopped working. This is a critical part of the App and without it the usefulness of the App is somewhat diminished. Please fix this if it was broken due to last release!

Not as convenient and losing recipes

Trilogite

The new version (3) lost over 400 recipes, mainly complete categories. Several years of gathering recipes went down the drain. Very disappointing, especially for an App that costs this much. Check your recipes to make sure that you haven’t been screwed too.This is a disaster and I’m looking for a better App. Get some Quality Assurance people! This is a prime example of really sloppy programming. [This older review pales by comparison] The older versions used to automatically load a URL from the clipboard to the App’s browser. That doesn’t work any more and you can’t even paste a URL into it. So you have to find the original page, which may have been linked from an article, not Google’d, then proceed. Highly annoying. I’ve also noticed that using fractional numbers is a mess as compared with previous versions. The new features would warrant a 5 but this version loses a star because of reduced usability.

5 for App, 4 for sellers

The upgraded version delivers many enhancements. I have no problems using its new features and finding how to do previous things after scanning the help sections (they are helpful). The look of the recipes w/updated format is nicer to read and you can vary the font size, bold, italicize and such. The send from browser for recipes saves several steps over the URL link, but you can do either if you adjust settings. I also really like being able to link 2 recipes (like a cake w/a particularly frosting). The ability to insert photos into the directions for step-by-step recipes is nice also. Worth the switch for me. That being said - in an earlier review I wasn’t happy w/not even a small reduction in price for users of prior versions. I still feel like even a couple of dollars off the computer version would make for warm fuzzy feelings of customer loyalty vs grumpy reluctant re-purchasers. Especially since many of us refer new users!

Recipe organization solution!

Passing the test of time

For a long time I was frustrated with how I found, saved and organized my recipes, which I would use Pinterest for. This app has changed everything for me! I now use Pinterest to get food inspiration and find recipes, try them once, and if it’s a keeper, I save it in Paprika. All the amazing functions are so helpful to me — from searching for and sorting recipes to using it while cooking to the grocery function. My only suggestion would be to have a feature that allows easier navigation between multiple recipes (maybe tabs?) so I can navigate quickly while cooking. But that would just be a bonus. Overall — love it!! I can honestly say this app has changed my life.

Version 3 the best yet!

ElkRiverChef

I have been a Paprika user for many years. Version 3 is by far the best and offers the most useful features. The ability to add as many images as needed completes a much needed capability to show several stages of food development. The implementation of this feature is simple and works beautifully across multiple devices providing capability to show the images full screen. The capability to link to other recipes and web URLs makes Paprika a very powerful reference saving tons of time. The new recipe description field is extremely useful for a variety of purposes including search. Searching is now much more powerful with the ability to search any part of recipes. Paprika 3 is the best architected app considering ALL aspects of modern recipe management and planning. Paprika 3 along with the cloud sync is by far the most robust and most used app I have ever owned. The developers have taken great care to get it right! Couldn’t be happier!

Best APP out there

Mykel54

This is absolutely hands down the best app I have! It makes organizing my recipes so easy. While I like Pinterest okay I don’t like the fact that I have to read through blogs and ads every time I want to make something. Paprika gets rid of all of those annoying things so I can get busy cooking! I keep finding little things about the app that I didn’t know that make me love it even more. I can categorize all my recipes and even give them a parent category so all my diet friendly foods can also be labeled Into their appropriate subcategory. You can also mark through your ingredients as you add them so you can keep up with where you are a must have when you get frequent interruptions!!! Well worth every penny I paid for it! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Cannot day enough good things about this app!
