Essential

Best app ever. Worth paying the few dollars a month if you cook/bake a lot and save a ton of recipes!

Not completely reliable

First time I used this, the recipe had some random additional items at the end (not from anywhere on the webpage) so when the recipe said “add the rest of the ingredients”… I started to, before thinking it was a bit odd that eggs and sugar were listed twice, results are still in the oven so we’ll see what the impact was, but something’s a bit glitchy here!

Does what you want it to do!

Trying to cook during a busy week is hard enough without ads and distractions & constant reloads taking it to the next level. Thank you just the recipe for stopping the chaos!

Just The Recipe and Dropout

Only subscriptions I don't mind paying are those two apps.

Love love love

Sometimes I forget that I have this but truly saves me so much headache when using online recipes. Thank you!!
