Super app

Crouton est vraiment une app pratique et bien faite.
Par contre aucune importation possible des recettes de Facebook, malgré un abonnement plus et découverte

I’m giving you 5 stars because you deserve them! ⭐️

Hello! I’m from Russia, and I’d like to know if you’re planning to add Russian language support. I’d love to purchase your app, but at the moment, it’s inconvenient for me to use without a Russian localization.

Better than ever other recipe app I’ve used!

What the title says! It’s so easy to use. And accurate website pastes/import FOR FREEEEE!!!

Praktische Rezeptverwaltung

Ich habe schon einige Rezeptverwaltungen ausprobiert, aber Crouton gefällt mir wirklich ganz gut. Rezepte lassen sich einfach erfassen und nachkochen, die Mengenskalierung (Anpassen an Personenzahl) ist mittlerweile sehr flexibel, auch der Essensplan ist einfach zu pflegen. Alles da was man braucht, und nicht zu viele Funktionen die es unübersichtlich machen. Das einzige was etwas schade ist dass die Plus-Version zwar das Teilen mit anderen Personen erlaubt, meine Frau aber trotz Familienfreigabe auch Plus kaufen muss - Sie bekommt immer die Meldung dass Sie keine Rezepte anlegen, da es bereits mehr als 5 Rezepte gibt.

My Favorite App Hands Down

I use this to store recipes. No more scrolling life stories to get to the ingredient list. I use the Meal planner for the week, I add all the ingredients to my grocery list, cross off what is in my pantry already, and my grocery list is done! This has simplified my life and has helped me eat much healthier!
