Amazing app that's almost perfect.

The safari action sheet integration is amazing. If you're using this app and don't know what that is you're really missing out. It parses perfectly (ice literally never had a problem with it) allowing me to very quickly add recipes. Amazing job There are two things they could do to make this a step above. First off. Add a watch app to hold the grocery list so we can quickly check things off going around a store. I get its not that important to many but as the watch bets faster thinner cheaper more people will have them. So why not start now with the smaller user base as your testers. Just put it in as a bets feature and add it to the big report setup. Second. The iPad can be used to go step by step. I've seen this in another app not shows step one in large text readable across a room you then tell it next and it goes to he next step. That probably again isn't necessary but as learners progress to more advanced stuff it Would be helpful with full hands. Also syncing between users would be nice - right now we have to use the same email and hat can sometimes present problems with forgotten passwords. T needs a true multiuser system. Preferably profiled like how plex does videos with my recipes and someone else under their name. Sharing recipes would be way better that way. Finally I want to address the double pricing. Frankly I think the app should be universal or at least there should be a bundle. Understand why it's split and that a single $10-12 app wouldn't sell as well but the app is worth purchasing in both platforms. So if think it should be joined.
Best Cooking I've Made!!

Hands down, this is one of the best investments I've ever made. Period. This is a POWERFUL app. Paired with the desktop app, I'd almost say it has superpowers. I'd list out all of the stuff I do with the app, but that would turn into a gigantic book. I will say this: Right now, I'm working on a freezer meal plan using recipes I'm collecting from my own cookbooks and from friends. Paprika is helping in a huge way. I'm able to import all of the recipes to one place (Paprika), and I'm not killing my thumbs typing on my phone because I'm able to do work on the desktop app... and have it show up in my phone or on my iPad. Paprika lets me edit the recipes, so I can import a recipe from a website and modify it specifically for my personal tastes and for freezer cooking. Paprika also lets me tag the recipes in categories. This is where Paprika is far superior to any recipe binder or card system. I can tag one recipe in multiple categories. Baked Penne gets filed under "dinner", "take to other people", "freezable", "no meat", "Italian" and a half dozen other tags. In one click, I can pull up all of my beef recipes or all of my recipes with "no beans" since my mother-in-law hates beans. And the printing options... Holy print options, Batman. I am so sad that I've had Paprika for years and only tried printing from the app this week. You can print in recipe card sizes, in small binder sizes, in normal sizes... you pick your margin size and your font size... And scaling!! Scaling may be one of my favorite things about Paprika. You can scale a recipe up or down and its glorious. Then you can send the recipe to your shopping list. As long as your ingredients are written the same way, Paprika will add them up in your shopping list. You may need to do a little extra math (16 tablespoons of butter is two sticks), but it's so much easier than hunting through all of your recipes to write a list from scratch, especially when you're doing a big batch of freezer meals. Love, love, love this app!!
Most awesome app ever!!!

If you can say yes to all the questions below, this is THE app for you. Do you like to cook? Do you like to try different cuisines? Do you want all your recipes in one place? Do you want to plan meals? Do you want to pick recipes and shop for ingredients easily? Do you want an intuitive way of using an app? I have bought hundreds of apps for various things. This is the only app I absolutely love and would recommend. I would have paid twice the amount. It is very user friendly and have saved me time and money. Awesome awesome design and ease of use.
Love this app but.......

I've had this app for quite a while and love it except for one glitch: I plan meals for the week and pin the recipes, but for some reason the app unwind them, sometimes in a matter of hours. This makes the app much less convenient as now I have to make and keep track of a separate, external list. Not a deal breaker, but a definite negative. I have contacted Paprika twice about this issue and never gotten a response from them.
Shopping list function is terrible
Ugh1234509876
When you click on your shopping list you're taken to "ALL," a list of everything you've ever added to your shopping list, including duplicates. It requires another click to open your "TO BUY," or active shopping list. I really can't fathom the use of this "all" list, and I certainly don't see why it's the first shopping list that comes up. Really not worth the money if you're looking for a good shopping list app.
Love this app!

I can't tell you enough how much I love using this app! It is my only recipe app I use now and I love everything about it. When I'm planning for dinner, I know I can open it up right there in the grocery store and get every ingredient I need before heading home to cook. And I love that I can copy and paste the web address of almost any webpage with a recipe on it I want and it will load it into Paprika so I can categorize it and save it. So much more to this app than that - that's why I love it. Thanks!
Hands-down the best

BUMP: scaling feature still not there, still very much needed. FEATURE REQUEST: The app has built-in ingredient scaling, which is key when doubling or halving a recipe. But it only acts on the first number it finds. So: 1 tablespoon (14g) sugar when doubled, becomes: 2 tablespoon (14g) sugar It'd be a huge help if it handled this as intelligently as it does everything else, as many recipes today are written in both weight and volume. Original review: Very intelligent importing of recipes from any website, super smart formatting when you input your own, recipe scaling, even exports grocery lists to email that you can check off, export and backup to common formats for future-proofing, the feature list goes on and on -- this app has it all. But more importantly it is beautiful and easy to use. Huge thanks to the developers for turning my ipad into one of my most essential kitchen tools.
It's great

Update: I just want to stop by and reiterate that I love this app. I appreciate and am amazed by how easy it is to import a recipe straight from Safari. The interface is so quick and easy to use, very efficient to add and edit recipes. It's just a delight and I appreciate having all this data right at hand. ----- The best, easiest yet comprehensive recipe/menu planner I have found. I have been using it off and on for over a year, through heavy planning periods and fly-by "I don't want to cook" times as well. I enjoy how simple it is to upload recipes or put together meals, both processes that can be so tedious in other apps. The interface is very attractive, as well. I have no experience with the shopping list as I have another app I prefer for that.
I have to pay $5 per device?

Good app, but, seriously? I have to pay $5 to get this on my iPad, another $5 for my iPhone, and another $5 for my MacBook. Really? That's ridiculous to me. Wouldn't have purchased this had I known.
