MacQuarrie. ### 5/5 — Great little app *2015-05-26, version 2.0.2* Love this app it's exactly what you need to make sure you remember all the stuff when your in the supermarket instead off forgetting something and having to return ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-12-01, version 2.0.1* Simple, useful and quick. A brilliant way to store and recipes! ### 5/5 — Simple and great. *2014-10-19, version 2.0* The new update is clean and very nice. This app saves me money because I don't by ingredients I don't need. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2014-10-18, version 2.0* Best easiest app to show case & show off your recipes! The addition of a picture & having the shopping list wherever you go make the a must have if you love to cook! Thanks ### 5/5 — Perfect recipe app *2014-10-17, version 2.0* Beautiful redesign. Fast and simple as ever. ### 5/5 — Great App. *2013-12-25, version 1.26* This is a great app for any cook who is on the go or guests in others homes. ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2013-07-09, version 1.25* Never crashes. Great for cutting and pasting recipes from FB and other sites. ### 5/5 — Rudycanche *2013-06-16, version 1.25* Great app. Great Recipes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No way to import exported file *2026-06-27, version 2.1* No clear instructions how to import the exported file, this is only mentioned when exporting and even then the steps it gives doesn’t work. Years of saved recipes lost…terrible ### 1/5 — Not Great! *2015-11-02, version 2.0.2* I had a lot if recipes on this app and loved having them at my fingertips wherever I was. I recently had to get a new phone and to my surprise all of my recipes were gone, after thinking they were all backed up! Very sad I had many favorite recipes uploaded and now all lost! ### 3/5 — Photos would make this app perfect *2013-10-27, version 1.26* Great idea to have an app where you can record all of your favourite recipes. If we could also attach photos to each recipe that would make it 10x better! Thanks guys :) ### 4/5 — Really easy to use *2020-08-19, version 2.0.3* A great app which enables you to write and store your recipes. To improve I would recommend having folders so you can separate the recipes into groups. Overall great and easy to use! ### 4/5 — Awesome App *2017-04-21, version 2.0.2* Love this app use everyday and yes it needs upgrade to not show multiple same items on list 🌻🙃🌻 ### 4/5 — Use it all the time. *2016-03-28, version 2.0.2* This is the best recipe saving app I have found. easy to use & practical features like emailing directly from the app & shopping lists. Would love for it to sync w iPad as I save most of my recipes to my phone. I wait for the day it will be able to copy & save a recipe straight out of a cookbook via camera. Keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2015-10-14, version 2.0.2* Perfect for sharing family recipes and having an automated list of groceries. NEEDS: column of quantities so I do not see duplicate items from multiple recipes in the shopping list. Great app so far, and hope to see an update soon! ### 4/5 — Handy but categories would be useful! *2015-01-26, version 2.0.2* This app has come in handy for storing new recipes as I try them out - I like that you can add photos! It would be really useful to be able to create categories for my recipes - at the moment they are stored as a single list. ### 4/5 — Foodie *2013-05-09, version 1.25* Love this app! I use it constantly. Only wish I was able to dind calorie/ carb etc info for foods, too. ### 4/5 — Looks good! *2013-02-24, version 1.25* Just downloaded this.. Love the paste ingredients feature. I think the addition of recipe categories and the ability to type a recipe search would make it 5+ stars! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Food files review *2025-10-07, version 2.1* I LOVE this app. Just started using it recently. I love the format and by saving only the recipes I’m interested in I can flip through and find what I need easily. ### 5/5 — Excellent app! *2025-01-13, version 2.1* Easy to use, automatic formatting, fast, and free! ### 5/5 — EVERYTHING I HOPED IT WOULD BE! *2023-04-19, version 2.1* Easy and AMAZING! I love that you can add pictures. So simple… yet all encompassing! Try THIS ONE first! ### 5/5 — Best recipe file *2020-12-02, version 2.1* I have been looking for a way to save recipes and this is such an easy app to use. I just love using it. Easy to find recipes and allows you to add notes and make changes as needed. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Just Perfect *2020-08-04, version 2.0.3* I've been looking all day for an app like this, although the others had options for categories, most cost something or were glitchy/low quality. This one however is actually good. You can even search for your recipes in a search bar! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-10-21, version 2.0.3* So easy to use. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Ease of recipe entry *2019-08-26, version 2.0.3* Love how user friendly this ap is! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2019-04-07, version 2.0.3* I’ve been looking for an app like this for years. Incredibly simple to copy and paste recipes from websites. I love this app and it’s amazing that it’s free. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-12-19, version 2.0.3* So simple. Very easy to cut and paste recipes/ingredients. Ideal for when you see a recipe that you like; just save it straight to this app! Add ingredients to your shopping basket (basically your shopping list), and pop to the supermarket! Swipe & delete those items you’ve already got. Only suggestion I have; from your recipes it would be nice to add them to categories..if only a few so as not to complicate things (starters, mains, sides, desserts). Can’t complain though; it is a free app and so useful. Thankyou ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-01-21, version 2.0.3* Love this app! :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
