Recipe import non-functional
I was so excited to purchase the plus version of this app and collect recipes that have been sitting around in hard copy. But I’m disappointed to see that the import function is completely non-functional now. Importing from camera just directs me to a page prompting me to purchase plus (which I already have) or the pricier plan, and there’s no way to actually do the import. I’ll be trying to get my money back.

Falta el idioma Español
Al igual que otras app como FoodNoms que me parecen muy pulidas y buenas, le falta la traducción al español. Debería de añadir una opción que permita colaborar con la traducción, yo mismo ayudaría a traducir la aplicación al Español. Una pena que no se le dé prioridad a esto cuando es esencial para llegar a más usuarios… Por último, la opción de poder compartir recetas debería de incluirse en la versión de pago único y no en la suscripción, no tiene sentido y a mí me quita las ganas de comprarla…

Better than others
Been using crouton for a while now and I can say this is better than the ones out there which is all hype just because its all over social media doesnt mean its good
Only 5 recipes
For an app marketed as free on the App Store this app only allows you to add 5 recipes before telling you, you have to pay $20-30 dollars to be allowed to add more along with unlocking the rest of the features. While I understand unlocking extra features only allowing 5 recipes for the base is a little ridiculous I would understand 30-50 recipes seeing as they are our recipes we are adding but only 5 seems a stretch. Not to mention they don’t tell you the limit until you’ve reached it so I just spent over an hour entering in 4 recipes before realizing I have to pay to unlock the ability to add more. The app is great but the execution of level locking and transparency is poor.

MCP / plugin
Très bonne application mais manque une connexion a claude ou chat gpt avec l'achat unique (plus).
Used to be 5 stars
Don’t offer a one-time purchase for all the Pro features only to lock some of those features behind a monthly description afterwards. Completely defeats the purpose of paying more upfront for a one time purchase. Scummy business practice.
Affordable and Easy to use
I have had this amazing app for over a year now. I recently started canning and preserving my food again and this app has made it so easy to keep recipes that I want to try. Whether it be regular dinners or canning/preserving recipes I have it all at my fingertips because of this app! Please note though: I do still keep hard copy books because it is still technology and there is always a chance that this will go down at some point!

A lifesaver
The best app to collect your recipes in! Imports from almost anywhere and the imports are really accurate.
Einfach, praktisch
Übersichtlich, leicht zu nutzen. Besonders gut: die Suche, die auch mehr als die Zutaten umfasst, die Möglichkeit, ein Rezept mehreren Ordnern zuzuordnen und extrem viele Tags zu wählen und zu benennen. Kleine Verbesserungen wären noch schön, aber mir persönlich gefällt die App dennoch besser als die Konkurrenz-Apps (der Preis auch).

Great
Really handy but lower the prices for premium
Beautiful but pricey.
This app is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, being limited to 5 recipes without paying $25 to upgrade is very much a dealbreaker. I will be finding a new recipe app, sadly.
Great app
I love this app, it has totally replaced my recipe scrapbook. I would give it 5 stars if it could save recipes from social sites.
Text import is a paid subscription
I used to love this app, I purchased the one time support package for $12 for more importing options. Now I can’t even text import since it is behind a paid subscription! It used to work just fine, but now it is “AI”. Taking away features users have paid for and putting them behind a subscription is scum.

You pay for it and then they change what you get
I paid for this app to get the ability to have unlimited recipes and to be able to import PDFs and take pictures of recipes to import them. It was great for the first couple months and then they made updates and now those features are behind a monthly fee. Talk about a bait and switch. The app is nice, I like the setup of it, and it is very user-friendly. I just feel like I got swindled out of money just to have features that I purchased for a lifetime taken away.

Could use help in the formatting department.
I’m OCD about the presentation and formatting of my recipes and that is falling apart in Crouton as it doesn’t seem to support tiered bulleted lists, etc. so I’m having to find creative workarounds.
Additionally iCloud sync does not work. I added pictures to my recipes from my phone (since I used it to take the pics) and I’ve pushed sync on my iPhone and iPad more times than I can count and the pictures and both devices are still not in sync with each other. The solution offered in the app is turn off a bunch of the features you pay for with iCloud+? So many other apps have figured this out without this - reach out to other developers and ask for help (respectfully).
Update: please fix annoying formatting issues like when you try to select text within the steps it wants to drag the whole back of text versus selecting - what kind of UI decision was that - imagine if every item you wanted to SELECT something Apple said no take the whole box and drag it - the more normal behavior is allowing people to select especially since you already have the sandwiches on the side to allow for re-ordering.
Update 2: Smart Import is NOT smart. How do you take a numbered list and literally put ALL the steps for a whole section under one number - they’re literally numbered.
There doesn’t seem to be a winner in this category of app - all have their own quirks and things that require you to fight the app versus the app just recording recipes as advertised - go figure. The Notes app is still the GOAT at this point.
Update 3: another example of UI design and produces unintended changes: I realized I was editing part of a recipe that had already been editing and when to hit escape thinking it would take me back a screen. Apparently escape is programmed to discard all changes without any warning. So 30 minutes of work gone.

Awful experience
I installed Crouton on my MacBook M2 running Tahoe 26.5.1 and tried to manually enter a recipe. I first tried to give the recipe a name but I couldn’t type into that box. I thought, maybe there has to be an actually recipe before I can give it a name, so I typed in the ingredients and the steps and tried again. Still couldn’t type in the Recipe Name box. I tried saving it but couldn’t without giving it a name. This really looks like an IOS app that was ported to macOS without rigorous testing. I’ve uninstalled it.

Love the app, but…
Eu amo mesmo o app e não vivo sem. Mas usando com bastante frequência, sinto que a interface é muito pouco atrativa. Como a lista de cookbooks que não valoriza as imagens, a lista com imagens pequenas e cobertas de informações de texto. Ou a página da receita que não valoriza a imagem da receita e tudo muito colorido que parece infantil com as informações da receita separadas em blocos deixa tudo menos atrativo. Falta mais modernidade no app, como é visto em outros apps como Recigen, Mela, Dashi… gostaria de ver uma atualização visual. Mas tirando esse incômodo o app é simplesmente perfeito.

Gute Rezeptapp mit Schwächen
Ich habe Crouton nun 3 Tage intensiv getestet und muss sagen, wenn man alles auf eine App setzen möchte ist diese App genial.
Die Rezepte werden gut erfasst, die Aufmachung ist top.
Einzigartiger Manko für mich und der ist leider sehr groß, der Export. Ich kann zwar die Rezepte exportieren aber leider nur in einem proprietären Format. Mit sowas bin ich leider bei anderen Dingen schon öfters in einer Sackgasse gelandet. Sei es weil Apps eingestellt wurden und ich die Daten nicht einfach wo anders hin mit nehmen konnte oder weil die Anwendung schlechter wurde und ich so umziehen wollte. Jedesmal ging das nur mit Stunden manuellen Aufwand.
Gerade Rezepte, die ja in gewisser Weise Zeitlos sind möchte ich schon gern umziehen können wenn ich mich dazu gezwungen sehe. Da dies leider nicht geht ist die App für mich leider raus - Schade.
Sollte der Export irgend wann mal in einem offnen Format möglich sein, würde ich sofort wieder zurückkehren.
Für alle anderen, für die der Datenerhalt über die App hinaus nicht so wichtig ist, ist dies mit die beste App zum Rezepte sammeln im App Store

Subscription required to import recipes
I’m on the plus version and I can’t import recipes from simple text files (markdown) or pdf’s unless I pay for a subscription.
Pdf’s might be trickier but a markdown or text file, really?
I understand subscriptions when there are server costs involved but for things that are easily processed on-device it’s just unacceptable, especially when a “plus” version has already been purchased.
