Have been hoping for a tool like this, and I love it! More focused time on making the recipe, less time cursing at blogs, less frustration at the insane amount of ads and loading and my gosh, I can barely get through a simple recipe on a blog because how crazy flashy and focused attention killer they are. This app is so helpful for my time and my mind, thank you!! A few tweaks could make it better and I know it will probably get more and more user friendly. Thank you for saving me 🙏
I’ve had this app less than 24 hours and already am madly in love with it. We decided to not eat out as much and I’m a new SAHM so I cook a majority of dinners now. I was literally just saying yesterday I HATE the stupid blog recipes I need to follow. Scrolling endlessly through worthless text and all the pop up ads I would get, so ANNOYING. Not to mention the layouts make cooking more stressful for me bouncing back and forth between the main dish and sides (I’m not an excellent cook and this is the first time I’m truly trying). The blog recipes are literally the bane to my existence. I usually don’t buy premium versions of apps either but for $13 a year I’ll pay to support the app developer!! They are a literal genius and godsend for creating this app 😭 I transferred several of my go to recipes on here already and the way they’re laid out is phenomenal.
I am constantly trying new recipes and this keeps everything so organized. Sometimes these food bloggers post so much fluff in their recipes that it’s nice to be able to edit them to make everything flow better. I also like adding my own ingredients to things so being able to add and delete some stuff is awesome. Loved the free version but I will say the paid version is 100% worth the money especially if you spend hours scouring the internet for new recipes like I do.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted to hear how JustTheRecipe helps you stay organized and customize recipes to your liking. It's great that you've found value in both the free and paid versions. Your support and insights are truly appreciated by our team. Happy recipe hunting and cooking!I love this app. I cook a lot and I often find recipes online, but it’s easy to lose track of them and it’s annoying to have all the added advertisements and texts and junk. This app makes it easy to keep track of them and easy to read the recipes. I absolutely love it, I gave it four stars instead of five is because it doesn’t save the recipes that you add to it automatically. Sometimes I forget to click the save button after I’ve added the recipe. I add the recipe unless I wanted to save it, so I think this step should be automatic. sometimes I forget to click the button because by my logic I already added it so it should already be saved, but if I forget to tap save I’ve lost a recipe after I added it. it’s nitpicky, but five stars indicate something is perfect and in my opinion it’s not quite perfect. if they made the saving function automatic upon adding the recipe, I would give it five stars.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and for appreciating JustTheRecipe! We're delighted it's been helpful in your cooking adventures. Regarding automatic saving of recipes, we currently don't have this feature because some users prefer to declutter a recipe for one-time use before deciding to save it permanently. However, your feedback suggests that an optional auto-save feature is a great idea. We'll certainly consider adding this feature to cater to different user preferences. We're committed to making JustTheRecipe even better, and user input like yours is invaluable in this process.Love the concept, and the ability to have my recipes all in one easy to find place without having to scroll through blogs and ads or search my photos for screenshots I took. I also LOVE that I can edit the recipes so I remember what I did differently for next time since I almost always tweak recipes. The app should really integrate your phone’s auto correct though so that it makes it easier to type edits without having to correct every little error you might type. Really looking forward to the recipe import feature that is in development too - I’d like to be able to import more than one recipe at a time and would like even more if I could import them from my many current screenshots of recipes.

Hello Jackie1115! It's great to hear how much you're enjoying JustTheRecipe, especially for organizing and personalizing your recipes. The app should indeed include auto-correct functionality, so if it's not working for you, it might be a bug. We'll investigate this issue to ensure a smoother experience. Also, we're glad you're excited about the upcoming recipe import feature -- we're excited too! Happy cooking! 🍳Just the Recipe lifts the recipe out of the rhapsodies the blogger writes about it. Not that I always mind the extra information, but I don’t want to sort through it every time I want to cook. Just the Recipe gives you a scalable recipe that can be easily indexed. For those of us with notebooks of homemade cookbooks filled with recipes from the net, we thank you for such an easy, searchable app.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! I'm glad to hear that JustTheRecipe is making your cooking journey smoother. It's exactly why we built the app – to help passionate cooks like you focus on the dish without the distractions. I love that you've collected recipes over time; here's to many more delicious meals made simpler with our app. Enjoy your cooking, and if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out! -BrysonI do a lot of recipe browsing, and this app addresses my biggest annoyance: bloggers who feel the need to relate their life stories or an anecdote about something cute their toddler did, or compare different types of tomatoes to add to your BLT. I know many of these have a “Skip To Recipe” button near the beginning, but many don’t. This app strips the fluff and gets right to what you want. Brilliant! My only gripe is that many times the app won’t open. You get the splash screen and a red circle spinning ‘round and ‘round. Even rebooting my phone doesn’t fix the problem. Squash that bug, and you got yourself a 5 ⭐️ app!

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to hear that JustTheRecipe addresses a major pain point for you when browsing recipes. It's our mission to keep things streamlined and focused on the recipes.
I'm genuinely sorry about the app opening issue you're experiencing. We're aware of the bug and are working diligently to get it fixed. Once it's sorted out, I hope we can earn that 5th star from you. 😉 Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve. Thanks for sticking with us!
UPDATE: We were able to track down that bug and squashed it! Just make sure you download the latest version of the app, 1.4.10. You can reach out to us at any time if you run into any other issues, at support@justtherecipe.com. :)Not only can I organize all my recipes, but if I have a hyperlink than I can add without having to type it all out. It allows you also to put items in more than one category for example I would categorize crab drip as both and appetizer and seafood. It is exactly what I have been looking for for years!

I'm delighted to hear that JustTheRecipe is exactly what you've been searching for! Being able to categorize recipes in multiple ways was a feature we thought would be useful, and we're glad it's making a difference for you. Thank you for the fantastic review!**UPDATE**
After being contacted by Apple, I gave this app one more chance. No go. Out of ALL the apps on my iPad, this one does not open; I get the spinning red circle, let it spin a bit, then give up. So, still just one star for the good idea. But fruitless nonetheless. Dumping.
This app was recommended by AARP. I tried using it on my iPad which the developers say is compatible. No go. I was able to save two recipes but my other failed attempts just didn’t work. Lots and lots of buffering. Then the message that the recipe couldn’t be found. So, I’m removing the app from my iPad. The concept is great, thus the one star, but it’s just too frustrating.
Developer Response
Hi Gram1315, I'm sorry you're experiencing issues on your iPad, and thanks for the honest feedback. We're looking into the buffering and "recipe not found" issues. We'd love a chance to make it right if you decide to reinstall. You can reach us at support@justtherecipe.com.
UPDATE: Hi again Gram1315 - We were able to track down that bug and get it fixed! My sincerest apologies for the loading issue. I hope you'll give us another chance!This app is fantastic! Just put in the url for your recipe and it takes out all annoying life history of the recipe author. It literally shows Just the recipe. I don’t know who decided we needed to see so much information, but I just want the simple recipe. This is one of my favorite apps. Some websites have made it difficult to copy the url, so for those I email myself the link and then copy it from my email. It works every time. Heart❤️❤️❤️
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the love! ❤️ We're thrilled to hear that JustTheRecipe is making your cooking experience easier. Great tip on emailing yourself the link for those tricky URLs!
