Fantastic app for developing your own recipes!

I absolutely love this app! I started using it to develop my own backpacking recipes and wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A few months later and I’m using it for everything now. I especially like the feature where you can import recipes from a URL and amend them to fit your needs. Highly recommend!

Cool retrospective take on recipes

Honestly it's beautiful in its simplicity yet still has more functionality than I would've thought I needed. Have logged a few sessions with my charcoal kettle and pellet grill so far and it'll definitely help when I'm ready to "cookback" one of those (although one of my dinners had issues but I noted some changes for next time).

Very useful!

I have enjoyed it!
