It’s all laid out and separated. I highly recommend it ### 5/5 — Love *2026-06-05* I keep most of my recipes here, and I keep it synched on my mom’s phone as well so it’s easy for us to share recipes. ### 1/5 — C’est nul *2026-06-01, version 1.7.1* Sa bug tout le temps , les liens ne marche pas ou arrivent pas a etre compatibles, sa ne donne pas toute la recette . Je suis vraiment insatisfait de l’appli ### 1/5 — New app is cr app *2026-03-11* So they say we have to switch and the new free app only accepts 60 recipes. All my apps now only show up online and all the links to export or import just take you to Login online. Can’t even move 60 over to the new app. I sure ain’t going to pay for a year of upgrade if I can’t transfer anything. The old app was a nightmare too. I was hooked up for auto renewal each month but they would send messages and cut me off before the would auto deduct and turn it back on. Stay far away, this is their 3rd time “upgrading” to less free features but nothing new or better for pay. ### 5/5 — Good one *2025-10-09* I had the old Cookmate app and it quit accepting new recipes from the internet. I downloaded the new one and it works SO MUCH BETTER!!! I absolutely love it! Very user friendly. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-10-05* I have used this app for a couple years now. Originally downloaded it to hold all my various Christmas cookies into one place but soon filled it up with meal recipes found on the internet, in recipe books and even hand written recipes shared by friends. I then opted for the paid version to increase my limit and it is well worth it! It’s easy to use and I can pull up any of my recipes anywhere. I also share recipes with my children using the friends feature. It’s nice to have all my recipes in one place in a searchable format. ## Frequently asked questions about Cookmate ### What does Cookmate do?
