Import failed
Worked beautifully for some time. Now I cannot capture the recipes. It is now saying “IMPORT FAILED”. With no support it renders this app useless.
Response from developer
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
Parfait pour usage professionnel

voice to recpie is an amazing feature, but...
Messy- Unorganized
- 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.
Response from developer
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
Rubbish app
Response from developer
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
Free but bare

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
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Next-Level Recipe App – A Must-Have for Cooking Enthusiasts!
💡 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!
Response from developer
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
Great app but missing just ONE feature!
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.
Response from developer
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! If you have any other thoughts or questions, please let us know. / Sincerely, Sofia
Very excepting of feedback, responds to email all the time, and makes accessibility a top priority.
Response from developer
We’re thrilled to know that you’re enjoying the app and that our focus on accessibility is making a difference. Thank you so much for leaving a heartwarming review! We love getting feedback and getting to know Ambre users, if there are any thoughts or questions you are more than welcome to reach out :) / Sincerely, Sofia
Eine sehr gute Rezepte App
Response from developer
Vielen Dank, Lena, für diese herzliche Rezension! Es freut uns besonders, dass dir unser Design und die Importfunktion gefallen – dein Feedback bedeutet uns wirklich viel! Wir haben deine Anfrage notiert und werden sie für zukünftige Updates im Hinterkopf behalten. In der Zwischenzeit könnte das Beschreibungsfeld hilfreich sein, um zusätzliche Informationen zu jedem Rezept zu speichern. / Liebe Grüße, Sofia
Nice look to it, but I’m sticking with Paprika
Response from developer
Thank you or giving Ambre a go! We understand that subscriptions aren’t for everybody, but it is what enables us to keep improving Ambre with new features and polish the current ones. I can see how it would be helpful to compile a grocery list from the recipes scheduled to Meal Plans, and I’m happy to let you know we are looking into how to add that to Ambre. In the mean time, I personally like to tick things off in the scheduled recipes that I already have saved and then manually add the rest to the Reminders app side by side on iPad. I hope that helps! Thank you for reaching out, if you have any other questions or feedback please let us know :) Sincerely, Sofia
Vorsicht
Response from developer
Das Herunterladen von Ambre ist kostenlos. Du kannst die Kaufansicht schließen, indem du sie nach unten ziehst oder auf die Schließen-Schaltfläche in der oberen rechten Ecke tippst. Falls du eine kostenlose Testphase gestartet hast und die Kaufansicht immer noch angezeigt wird, handelt es sich wahrscheinlich um einen UI-Fehler. Du solltest die Kaufansicht dennoch manuell schließen können. Wenn das nicht hilft, kontaktiere uns bitte unter hello@ambi.se oder aktualisiere diese Bewertung mit zusätzlichen Informationen, die deine Situation erklären. / Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Sofia.
Es una excelente app
Some wishes
Response from developer
Thank you for your review and feedback! We will take your feature request regarding showing calories into consideration. Thank you for suggesting it. If you have any other feedback or thoughts you’d like to share, feel free to send me an email to sofia@ambi.se / Sincerely, Sofia
Nice but...
Otherwise I have looked on how I could export my data if something happens to your app: Yes I can export it -> into your own format - can't do anything with that. So I would be giving you all my data and hoping that this app will never die, or change the privicy policy, or the cost.
Sorry, no deal! Two stars, for trying.
Response from developer
Hey! We track some features just to make sure your user experience is as smooth as possible. Every failed import is tracked for example, that way we can fix it as soon as possible. We can't see which imports are yours, all tracked events are anonymous. We don't share any data with any data brokers, so your data stays private and is not used for targeting ads or similar. You're absolutely right, if you want to be able to export receipts we can implement that! Send me an email to cesar@ambi.se on how you want them exported and I'll make sure to implement it! Just to be clear, we don't have access to your recipes. They are stored on your private iCloud zone. Hopefully you're willing to give Ambre a second try! Have a nice day! / César
Great app
Response from developer
Hi! Glad to hear you're enjoying Ambre! We understand subscriptions aren't for everyone, you're more than welcome to keep using our free features of Ambre. / César
keeps freezing while using oin desktop
Response from developer
This is an issue we haven't heard of, I'm sorry it happened to you. I would greatly appreciate if you could send me a video recording of this issue to cesar@ambi.se We will investigate and see if we can figure out what went wrong. Sincerely, César
Wish I could support it
If you ever come out with a lifetime purchase option, I would love to check it out!
Response from developer
Your data is yours, and saved recipes will always be accessible, no matter if you are subscribing or not. You can always manually compose a recipe, edit it or have it deleted without a subscription. I can assure you we will never lock you out of your own recipes :) If you have any more questions or feedback, please let us know by either updating this review or sending me an email to sofia@ambi.se. Thank you for considering Ambre! / Sincerely, Sofia
