## What is Copy Me That recipe manager?

Copy Me That combines a recipe manager, shopping list, and meal planner into one seamless flow. 

Easily add recipes from any website and from most apps. You'll have your own copy of the complete recipe. You can also add your own recipes, of course. 

Copy Me That syncs with all your devices so you'll have online access anywhere.

Edit any part of a recipe to remember your recipe tweaks. Add your own masterpiece photos, or fun flop photos, as the case may be! 

Organize your recipes with collections or just use search to find what you're looking for.

Plan your meals ahead of time with the meal planner and then head off to the grocery store with your shopping list. Sort your shopping list by recipe or category (aisle) to easily find your items in the store. 

Looking for inspiration? Then see what others are sharing in the Copy Me That Community. You decide how much (or little) you want to share.

We've made sure that your iPad or iPhone won't go to sleep while you're following a recipe. (We know how annoying it is when that happens!)

Your recipes belong to you and you can export them at any time.

You immediately get access to all our features, including features that were previously premium-only. The free version has a limit of 40 recipes. After that it's only $0.99 per month for unlimited recipes. You can also purchase an annual or lifetime membership. One paid membership is good on all your devices.

Note that the recipe detection, when adding recipes from other websites, is currently optimized for English.

### 5/5 — I’ve used this app longer than any other app

*2026-07-18, version 4.2.8*

I LOVE this app and I’ve  had it for years, I think since right after it was first offered. I have it on my phone, my tablet, my iPad, and on my computer. I use it for many different things not just to save recipes. I create my own recipes for my medicinal plants, my teas, natural dye recipes, craft instructions, just all kinds of things. I don’t think I could function without Copy Me That. Really well built, customer support is excellent, and I highly recommend purchasing the lifetime subscription, you won’t be disappointed.

### 1/5 — Blackmail

*2026-07-18, version 4.2.8*

I say "Blackmail" jokingly. My friend recommended this app to me. I had hundreds of recipes bookmarked. As I saved them to this app I deleted the bookmark. It was great. Until it wasn't, and I was told in order to get my recipes I had to start paying them. I was given a deadline to download them all by but of course that time had passed. Some of these recipes are a decade or more old. So I paid the .99 cents and plan to get all my recipes out and then give them the finger. Yes it's only .99 cents but it's the principle of the matter, I don't get why I couldn't even view my recipes but the moment I paid there they all are. That's some B.S. at least let me see my saved recipes and if I need to pay for more space give me that option don't make it to where I can't view my already saved recipes.

### 1/5 — Exchange rate crazy

*2026-07-15, version 4.2.8*

Why are the exchange rate so high?  It’s worse than a bank or exchange place.

### 1/5 — $$$$$$ greed city

*2026-07-06, version 4.2.8*

65$ for a lifetime? What a ripoff

### 1/5 — Another good app bites the dust

*2026-07-01, version 4.2.8*

Used this for years, now you have to pay. Pinky promise that they  will not change the terms again in the future.  Let me keep my data local I don’t need cloud storage or whatever the reason was. Downloaded the data and deleting the app. advice to app developers: no one wants another monthly bill.

### 1/5 — I feel cheated by this company

*2026-06-30, version 4.2.8*

This was a great free app, and I used it to house all my recipes. Then, out of the blue, they wanted to start charging for it. I cannot access any recipes without payment. It feels like a bait and switch. I don’t think it was fair of the company to act the way they did. Upfront, years ago, I was not informed that one day I would have to pay to have my recipes released from their hostage status.

### 1/5 — Not Worth It

*2026-06-24, version 4.2.8*

Have used this app for years. But now they want to charge $65 to keep it. Switched over to RecipeSage instead. Open source and free.

### 5/5 — Problems

*2026-06-21, version 4.2.8*

This is my most favorite app.  However, for the past week I’ve had trouble  with this app.  Is there a problem with other people trying to use Copy Me That?

My internet is connected.  And the notice says “….there may be a temporary glitch in our network.”  Who may I contact to see when the “glitch” will be repaired?

### 1/5 — So annoyed

*2026-06-17, version 4.2.8*

I’ve been using this app for years and years, even when they shut down and started up again, I stayed. You can’t dl recipes from insta, TikTok or YouTube, and that was inconvenient but what upsets me is now there’s a paywall.  I was trying to move tons of my recipes somewhere else but I’ve run out of time and they’re forcing everyone to pay now. If it were a 1 time fee, I’d pay, but I’m not paying monthly to access MY recipes I got for free on this app. I had so many recipes, now it’s gone.

### 1/5 — Change the game.

*2026-06-14, version 4.2.8*

I love this app but pretty sneaky to wit until people have collected 100s of recipes before telling us we have to pay to keep more than 40 recipes. And pay lots or forever. Both terrible options.
