I love everything about it but especially the grocery list feature. Making grocery lists use to be quite the chore for me…then enter Anchovy. Instead of hunting down a scrap of paper to put my list on, I create my list in the App from all the recipes I plan on making and then add other items I need for the week, and Voila!…my grocery list is always neatly organized and waiting for me. I absolutely love having all my recipes in one place on my phone, and I can immediately share recipes after discussing food, which I do often! This App makes the part of food prep that can be tedious, very easy and fun! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2025-03-25* I love how easy this app makes it to store and share recipes! It’s so much easier to plan my meals for the week by scrolling through my saved recipes on Anchovy and adding them directly to my list in the app. My partner and I love this app. ### 5/5 — Traveling Cook! *2025-03-20* I do a lot of traveling and this app is fantastic! I have my favorite recipes with me wherever I go - from my mom’s best recipes from her hand written recipe box to the latest recipe I found on the internet that I don’t want to lose track of! I am also loving the grocery list feature - who knew it could categories the items for easy shopping?!?Thanks Anchovy - you are the best!! ### 5/5 — Efficient and Easy! *2025-03-01* No more scrolling through endless paragraphs on Pinterest.. I just copy/paste the link and it fills out everything I need in this app. Has made cooking much more efficient for me ### 5/5 — Five star app *2025-02-03* Great app, very helpful for meal planning and learning new recipes, grocery shopping etc ### 5/5 — Recipe Hide N Seek No More! *2024-06-26* My husband and I are notorious for sending recipes to each other through Facebook, Insta, Pinterest and such. Then when we want to make it neither of us can remember what app we used. Anchovy solves that problem. He sends something to me and if it looks good I put it in my Anchovy app as it’s there that I look in the future. I also appreciate that the screen doesn’t lock up when I’m in a recipe. That way I can look back and forth between what I’m cooking and what the recipe calls for next. GAME CHANGER! ### 5/5 — Game changer! *2024-06-26* I absolutely love this app. I can’t believe how easy it is to add recipes- you can copy/paste a link, take a pic of a recipe, or do a voice recording and it formats them perfectly! It’s so nice to have all of my recipes stored in one place and on my phone so I always have access to them. It makes it easy to share recipes with family and friends and even has a grocery list function too! ### 5/5 — This app is everything I’ve wanted *2024-06-22* Legit the only recipe app I need. Everything else I’ve tried just seems convoluted, but Anchovy is super easy to use. And cute!! I love the character and the design. Must try if you’re someone who’s bad at organizing their recipes and finding new stuff to eat like me! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Way to Save and Share Recipes *2024-06-18* I love taking pics of my recipes and uploading them so I have them on Anchovy! ## Frequently asked questions about Anchovy ### How do I add recipes to Anchovy?
