Good so far!

Love this app, so tired of ads and things popping up when I’m try to see ingredients. I’ve only started using but it’s great to have just the recipe!!! Thanks :)

Decluttered my recipes AND my browser tabs!

I just went through my Firefox, Chrome and Safari inactive tabs from my phone and added the dozens upon dozens of recipes I had sitting there into Just the Recipe. Every single one worked perfectly, and most of them with pictures! Huge fan.
