I have been using Anchovy since it came out and love that I can store all my recipes in one ad-free spot! I love to share what I’m making with friends and family. And the grocery list is awesome. Thanks for making such a game changer. Now I have my favorite recipes wherever I go and I can cook our family favorites even when I am traveling👍 ### 5/5 — SO GOOOOOOOOD!!!! *2026-08-30* Anchovy is incredible, the interface is gorgeous. So beautifully designed!!! ### 4/5 — The best app I've found for meal planning, but a couple points *2026-08-25* It would be nice if the recipes gave credit to the original authors when importing from a website, as right now, it's just creating a database of recipes off of the internet from the hard work of so many people without credit. Also, the AI tool that transcribes the recipe seems to change words around at random, sometimes causing weird errors in sequence or phrasing. I know it would be harder to build a tool that properly reads the websites, identifies the recipe section, and copies the instructions exactly instead of just AI-ing it, but I think stuff like that is worth getting right. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback! Recipe attribution is top of mind as well as working together with content creators in a way that provides them fair compensation for their work. We love our content creators and it is absolutely not our intention to rip off creators. We are working towards a solution and you will see it in the app shortly! AI tools can be finicky and we continuously work on improving the experience for our users. Thank you for your support and patience! Please feel free to contact us directly through the website www.anchovy.app if you have any other suggestions - we would love to hear them! ### 5/5 — Hooked on the Anchovy App *2025-10-25* Anchovy is such an amazing app! 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! ## Frequently asked questions about Anchovy ### How do I add recipes to Anchovy?
