Self input

This is fantastic but I would like to be able to add my own recipes or recipes from Instagram and FB so I can keep all my recipes in one place.

Poor customer support

Maybe I should say NO support. Have been trying for days to recover my paid subscription with no luck

Simple, useful, brilliant

This app is so helpful! You just copy and paste a URL and it declutters the recipe and just gives you the ingredients and the instructions. No scrolling for days or ads in every corner. It can even watch a video and make a recipe from the video, even if the caption doesn’t have details! So impressive and so simple. You can then save recipes, edit them if you tweak things, and can make a shopping list directly from the app. It fills a need I didn’t even know was there. Thank you!
