Indispensable!

I may I use this app more than any other. I’ve collected over 3700 recipes, so never at a loss for dinner ideas. Great for using what’s on hand, and great for creativity. The scaling feature is invaluable, as is the ability to categorize. Highly, highly recommended.

Good for recipes and cooking. But not so good for menu planning and shopping

Menu/meal planning features are limited. Pantry items do not interact with meal planner, so to add that store-bought rice mix to a menu you have to put it in as a recipe (boring and time consuming and stupid, but not even in Covid time do I make everything from scratch. Pantry items do not have units, like pounds, or cans or each, and no lower limit setting to put on shopping list. Pantry to shopping list is only automated for out of stock items. So if you want to buy sugar when stock is down to say 1lb you have to do this manually or misstate the actual stock on hand. Interaction between pantry and everything else seems to be limited or incorrect. If a recipe calls for 4 cans of something, and there are 2 cans in the pantry, a generated grocery list says that the item is in the pantry. A bar code reader to put prepared items in pantry would be great A tiered aisle entry for pantry items would be a good feature. Store/aisle so that multiple shopping lists can be generated by store

Repeat

Would love to have a repeat setting for my calendar.

Great app! But needs...

Optical character recognition (OCR) so I can scan in recipes! I would definitely give five stars for that.

Amazing app!

I’ve purchased this app over and over. Android, iOS, Windows, Mac...and even as a gift. It’s that good. Too many features to list, but I particularly like being able to cross out ingredients while cooking and adding ingredients for a recipe to my grocery list. Importing from websites is so simple, scaling recipes works great. If you’re on the fence - this app is worth it! Feature request for those wonderful devs: an easy way to switch between 2 (or more) recipes I might be cooking for the same meal.

Hands down, the best

I tried several recipe keeper apps in the past. Each had its own set of built in frustrations. This one has none. Repeat: none. If I had to make up an app myself it would be this one. Once you take a spin with this app you will understand why there is no need to even try anything else. I’ve especially enjoyed the feature that lets you download a recipe automatically if you have used the in-app browser, but it is quick and simple enough to cut/paste recipes you come across elsewhere. So far the only thing it can’t do is download the recipes from my mother’s recipe box that are handwritten on the backs of envelopes! But the format makes it easy to enter those manually. I do a lot of cooking, and this is by far the most useful app on my iPad.

No Sharing via Text??

A neighbor recommended this app. She has the android version which has a better interface and ability to share via text. The share via text feature was the reason I bought the app. I don’t have folks’ email but I have their phone numbers. So much easier to share via text. Please add sharing via text to the iOS version of the app. Recipe fails to open from paprika link in email. If it will not open in app, I have to manually add a shared recipe to the app. This is completely unacceptable. 9-27-20 When deleting a recipe, then want to import with name change from friend via email, Paprika will not import saying it is a duplicate. But the recipe was deleted so it is not a duplicate. Is there a deleted items cache that needs to be deleted? Found a Trash under categories. After empty trash, then will allow import. Thank you
