Now I cannot capture the recipes. It is now saying “IMPORT FAILED”. With no support it renders this app useless. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I tested the different ways of importing a recipe but couldn’t find any problems. I’m sorry the import didn’t work as expected, please send us an email to hello@ambre.app with further details so we can fix it :) / Sincerely, Sofia ### 5/5 — Parfait pour usage professionnel *2026-01-31* Enfin un gestionnaire de recettes compatible avec l’Apple Watch. Plus besoin de prendre son téléphone toutes les dix secondes. L’équipe de développement est très efficace dans l’assistance et la mise en place de solutions. **Developer response:** Nous sommes tout à fait d’accord, cuisiner avec sa montre, c’est génial ! Merci beaucoup d’avoir pris le temps de laisser un commentaire, nous l’apprécions sincèrement. / Cordialement, Sofia ### 5/5 — Simple, clean UI *2025-12-23* Really nice lightweight recipe app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review, we truly appreciate it! Sincerely, Sofia ### 3/5 — Sympa, mais pas pour moi *2025-10-27* Je cherchais une application comme celle-là, sauf que le problème c’est que l’abonnement est limite obligatoire pour mon utilisation et c’est beaucoup trop cher. J’ai trouvé des applications avec des alternatives gratuites, voir avec des abonnements beaucoup moins cher voir un abonnement Lifetime. **Developer response:** Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez trouvé une autre solution qui vous convienne. N'hésitez pas à nous recontacter si jamais vous souhaitez réutiliser notre application à l'avenir. /César ### 3/5 — voice to recpie is an amazing feature, but... *2025-09-14, version 4.0.2* works great sometimes, but voice to recipie often records but then dodesnt do anything. sometimes cannot edit recipie. needs option for folders and tags. meal planner should not require a title for each meal plan but should allow breakfast, lunch, dinner segments. would be PERFECR if could connect to myfitnesspal ### 2/5 — Messy- Unorganized *2025-04-01* I just downloaded this but will be canceling before my 3 day trial ends. - There are no categories, only tags. Every cookbook ever has categories. Example: main dish, side, dessert, etc - Importing from Pinterest is sloppy. It pulled in some of the ingredients but not all. The ones it did pull in, they didn’t have quantities/amounts. It also added ingredients that weren’t even in the recipe. - Both recipes I added, one from Pinterest and one picture of a recipe card; neither filled in the servings or total cook time. Does not have separate prep/ total time. - There is a description box to put tags in but no notes. Need a place to put your own adjustments or substitutions separate from the directions. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We wanted to provide a fully flexible organizing system, which is why you can create your own tags based on your personal needs. They serve a similar—if not identical—function to predefined categories. Thank you for bringing to our attention that recipes aren’t being properly imported from Pinterest. We’ll definitely make sure to improve those. Could you please share the link(s) that didn’t import properly so we can figure it out? Please send us an email at hello@ambre.app We’ll look over how to improve the import to include servings better, and if we can add support for showing more specific times like you mention. To keep the recipes as clean as possible from clutter we let the description section allow for any free text, and can be expanded and tucked away as needed. However, we’ll make a note of your request of having a separate section for notes, but we can’t make any promises. / Sincerely, Sofia ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2025-03-28* Its a rubbish app. When you put the link in for it to copy the recipe. It converts it all wrong. Some are missing and there is no way to adjust or add the missing item **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I’m sorry the recipe didn’t import properly, could you please send us the link at hello@ambre.app so that we can make sure it works? When the recipe is saved you can edit and make adjustments to it. 

If you have any other feedback, please let us know. / Sincerely, Sofia ### 5/5 — Free but bare *2025-03-14* I just wish that this app let me import recipes without paying and subscription. All I can do is manually type it in. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We understand the subscription model isn’t for everyone, but it’s the business model we have chosen to be able to continuously keep updating Ambre with bug fixes and new features / Sincerely, Sofia ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Next-Level Recipe App – A Must-Have for Cooking Enthusiasts! *2025-03-13* I have tried so many recipe apps over the years, but Ambre is truly in a league of its own. From its stunning, AI-generated color backgrounds to its seamless sync across devices, every detail feels intentional and well-designed. 💡 Here’s why I LOVE Ambre: ✅ Beautiful Visual Experience – The app automatically adapts the recipe card background to match the colors of your dish, creating a soft, watercolor-like effect that sets the mood for cooking. It’s subtle but truly magical! ✅ Minimalist & Intuitive Layout – Adding recipes is quick and easy, and the interface is clean, modern, and visually stunning. ✅ Flexible Organization – While there aren’t traditional meal categories, I simply add “BREAKFAST,” “LUNCH,” or “DINNER” in the title and sort alphabetically—it actually makes finding recipes even faster! ✅ Perfect on iPad & Mac – I use this app across my MacBook and iPad, and it syncs instantly via iCloud! On the iPad, the layout adjusts beautifully in both portrait and landscape mode, making it feel like a customized digital cookbook. ✅ Community Recipe Portal – I love that you can browse recipes uploaded by others for new ideas and inspiration! ✅ No Subscription Gimmicks – The pricing is fair and reasonable ($1.99/month), especially considering the seamless multi-device sync and AI-powered enhancements. 🎨 Final Thought: Ambre is more than just a recipe manager—it’s a full cooking experience. If you love a clean, visually appealing, and easy-to-use recipe app, this is THE ONE. I’m so excited to be an early supporter of what I truly believe will become one of the best cooking apps out there! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you for leaving such a thought out review, it was lovely reading it! It’s always fun and insightful to know the different ways features are being used for personal preferences. You might find it interesting to know that anything added to the description is searchable, just like the title which you mention. We’re especially pleased to know that it’s easy to use thanks to the design and that the iCloud syncing is appreciated. If you have any feedback regarding improvement, in addition to this review - please let us know, we are all ears! :) Thank you once again! / Sincerely, Sofia ### 4/5 — Great app but missing just ONE feature! *2025-02-18* I have been using 3 different apps to find the best one out there and so far this one is coming out on top. It’s incredibly feature rich overall. The one main feature missing is a grocery list or the ability to make some form of list of ingredients. It helps consolidate recipes and makes trips to the store more manageable. Otherwise great app and intuitive UI. **Developer response:** We love hearing that Ambre is standing out among the apps you’ve tried, thank you for sharing your experience! Having a way to manage ingredients for a grocery list would make shopping trips easier, we completely agree. While we’re currently exploring potential solutions, we can’t make any promises just yet. That said, we appreciate your feedback!
