Love the ability to sort all my recipes into folders and easily add them to the included meal plan calendar. Super easy to import recipes from any url - saves me from having a million tabs open trying to keep track of recipes I want to try. Also love that I can add photos once I’ve made something and that you can import from books/printed recipes too.

Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad that Umami has been helpful for you. -JeffThis is a very comprehensive app for recipe storage and in my opinion is superior to the “traditional” ones that people mention such as Paprika, Whisk, etc.
My goal was to have an app that had a cloud storage component as well as allowed for recipes to be “shared” with another person. We have a lot of physical cookbooks that we wanted to have in a digital format. We also wanted to be able to directly add recipes from a website as well. Many of the other apps out there offered some of these features, but not the whole spectrum of them. The most commonly missing feature among the competitor apps is the ability to share recipes with another user. This app is very streamlined with the “share” feature.
I happened to find out via this app via a Reddit post after I had tried about 8 or so apps and was growing frustrated with not being able to find one that delivered exactly what I wanted. This app delivers and I am very glad I discovered it.

Thank you for your review! I built the app because I wanted a better way to share recipes with my family, so I'm glad it's been helpful for you too! - JeffThe minimalist design is 🤌🏻😘. This app is so beautiful and easy to use! The attention to even the smallest details to make the entire recipe management and cooking process so simple and organized, is amazing. The only thing that I wish this app had, (and maybe it does but I haven’t figured out how yet), is the ability to put a folder within a folder. (Ex: A recipe folder for Cookies within a larger folder for all Baked Goods)
Regardless, I absolutely love this app and am more than willing to pay for the lifetime subscription. 10/10 worth it! ⭐️

Thank you so much for the review! I really appreciate it! - JeffWe have recipes EVERYWHERE! Stored in Pinterest, IG, Facebook, on paper, in notes and folders. We were looking for a solution that was priced reasonably and was easy to share with my wife. This app by far exceeded our expectations. Saving from the internet and Pinterest takes a few clicks. We are scanning paper recipes and converting the rest. Search by ingredients or tags, it adds to our Apple grocery list with a click, we can even plan meals and out em our calendar. No brainer this is an awesome app!

Thank you very much for the review! I'm so glad that the app has been helpful for you! - JeffI’ve been looking for a good place to organize and keep all my recipes. I was trying with Pinterest but it just didn’t do what I needed. THIS APP HAS EVERYTHING IVE EVER WANTED. I will recommend this app to everyone till I die. You can import recipes from almost anywhere and add your own. Not only that but you can meal plan with specific times, make grocery lists, and export your recipes as well! I really love that I can add a widget to my Home Screen that will tell me what meals I plan on making that day. The UI is also perfect and so much better than other apps I’ve tried. When you do import a recipe is super easy AND no more scrolling down a ridiculously long blog post to get to a recipe! It’s all right there and you can edit all of it. I’m vegetarian and now I can edit out all the meat from recipes or add meat replacements. I could cry at how excited I am to finally have one place for all my meal and recipe things!

Thank you so much for your review! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you're enjoying the app. - Jeff🌟🌟🌟 Hands down better than paprika, recipe keeper, and all the others! It allows for the sharing of recipes, collaboration, easy imports via websites and other recipe apps that have become outdated. You can even pull up your login through an online browser on your computer. I even started to use this to store my drink recipes. This app is as intuitive as it gets and regularly being updated with additional functions. The creator actually listens to customer feedback.
You can’t beat it’s ease of use and their service. 10/10 recommend this app and I’m already introducing it to other family members for us to collaborate. Don’t miss out on the BEST recipe app out there!! 🌟🌟🌟

Thank you for your review! I'm so glad you're enjoying the app. I love hearing new ideas and feedback so feel free to email me (jeff@umami.recipes) with any questions or feature requests! - Jeff I bought the lifetime subscription bc it has everything you want and need. I have a mag safe case on my phone, so I just put my phone on the fridge, and use it like that while cooking. If you hit "start cooking" the screen stays on! You can toggle between ingredients and directions with on click. Screen stays lit!
Great app and just what I was looking for. Only 4 stars because I wish you could see the whole photo uploaded instead of a cropped view and that you could upload more than three pics at a time and rearrange them after uploading. Mine upload out of order and I don’t see a way to fix it so that’s kind of annoying. Otherwise love the functionality and hopefully someday the photo control will be improved.

Thank you for your review! I'll look into how I can improve photo management. Feel free to email me at jeff@umami.recipes if you encounter any other issues. - JeffNot sure how this app isn’t at the very top of all recipe and meal planning app searches. It’s way better imho than all others out there. Thank you for taking time to create this app. Ability to easily import recipes and organize is great and personally the UI is much much cleaner than the other older junk apps out there. Thank you and please keep improving it while keeping the design clean. Thanks!

Thank you for your review! I'm glad that you like the UI and that it has been easy for you to use. - JeffThis app not only provides a place to add and share recipes, but you can also put your grocery list in it, meal plan, and add timers. My wife and I use this as we have recently transitioned to me cooking instead of her. So she adds recipes and I cook it. Very very helpful. Been wanting something this simple for awhile. Thank you!
