Not worth the phone storage

This used to be a good app... had this for years but then they stopped updating it. Now they're charging $2.99/mo to use it. What a rip off. Moving on to something else even though my recipes are being held hostage for ransom essentially.

Yeah & nah

I quite like the app, however, it can be frustrating to copy & paste recipes. More frustrating is the monthly subscription. Any chance of a one of purchase fee as not much has changed since purchasing it?

Way too expensive for nothing in return

$2.99/month to access my own recipes while they don’t even do any upkeep is highway robbery. Don’t be fooled, there are plenty of cheaper and even free options as good as or better than Pepperplate ever was.

Keeps freezing

Great App but it keeps freezing-I tried to let them know a while back but they blamed it on me

Meh

Downloaded bc I read in a blog how great it was and then the first recipe I went to upload from the browser was “not supported”. I’ll pass.

Get bent

Horrible developer decision. Used to be a free app now with my iOS update I’m forced to update the app and pay 3.99 a month. I’d pay a one time fee of maybe $10 but your not Netflix. my recipes are my content not yours I’ll be deleting the app thankfully I can still save my recipes that are on my iPad

It’s my cookbook set

I’ve used Pepperplate since it was first available. I have a wide variety of recipes from innumerable sources - lots from family members passed down from at least four generations. I also maintain a recipe collecting website, only for special recipes that we’ve found to be favorites. In Pepperplate, I keep recipes I’m going to make, someday, too. Need to size them up, or down, create menus, or shopping lists? This will help you. As a software tester, I can promise you this app is well written and user friendly. So much so that I didn’t mind it when it started costing to use it. I’ve been in so many situations where I could pick up my phone and share a great recipe with a friend. Make suggestions to the programmers - even great apps can be better.

Great Menu and recipe app

I love it! I can copy recipes and put them in my recipe box, translate them. Terrific. The only downside is they should keep calendar and menu planner in sync. If you did an Easter week menu for example in 2022, you should access it to use it again. To be able to to not only save menus but in a calendar.

Love this app, but…

I’ve been using Pepperplate for about 6 years now. Got it when my daughter moved out on her own. Gave her the ability to scale down our family sized recipes easily. But, why doesn’t the app allow Freescale like the website does? Highly recommend this update.

Fantastic app

Pepperplate has been invaluable to me for keeping old recipes and new. I love it.
