### 5/5 — Easily Captures Recipes

*2026-08-17*

I always see a recipe I want to try and I either have to take a screenshot that I forget about or can never find. Marinaid makes it easy  - makes me feel super organized and ready to cook. Even photos of old handwritten recipes go in easily. Marinaid has helped me Marie Kondo my recipe life! I also really love cooking with Marinaid as my assistant, guiding me in prep and actually getting me to prep rather than rushing to chop some ingredient I forgot about. I’ve just scratched the surface and it has had such a big impact! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

**Developer response:** It's fantastic to hear how organized and inspired you feel while using the app! Capturing recipes and simplifying your cooking process is exactly what we aim for, and we're glad it's had such a positive impact on your kitchen experiences.

### 5/5 — Game Changer!

*2026-08-17*

I rarely write app reviews, but Marinaid absolutely deserves one. The team behind this app clearly understands that cooking is more than just collecting recipes. What impressed me most is that it doesn't just store recipes, it supports the entire cooking experience from start to finish. I can easily import recipes from virtually any source, automatically adjust ingredient quantities based on servings, create organized grocery lists, and even get helpful explanations for cooking terms when I encounter something unfamiliar.

The guided cooking experience is especially well done. Breaking recipes into clear, step-by-step instructions makes cooking new or unfamiliar dishes far less intimidating and much more enjoyable. Every feature feels thoughtfully designed to solve real challenges that home cooks face, and the overall experience is incredibly intuitive.

I've tried a number of recipe apps over the years, but Marinaid stands out because it focuses on the entire journey, from planning and shopping to preparing and cooking. It's quickly become an essential part of my kitchen routine, and I find myself enjoying the process of trying new recipes more than ever. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

**Developer response:** It's fantastic to hear how much you appreciate the thoughtful design and comprehensive features! We're delighted that the app has enhanced your cooking experience and made trying new recipes enjoyable. Your feedback truly motivates us, and we're grateful for your support!

I absolutely love this app! I love how it allows you to have a scrapbook of your recipes from all corners of life, from old written recipes and cookbook pages to TikTok posts saved on a whim, plus everything in between. It is super intuitive and makes the cooking process easier with a number of features, such as integrating the ingredient amounts into the cooking steps. Also love the meal planning feature. It got me excited to try more recipes in my weekday routine. Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback! It’s fantastic to hear how much you're enjoying the app and its intuitive features, especially the recipe scrapbook and meal planning. We're glad it's making your cooking experience more exciting. Thank you for your high recommendation!

### 5/5 — Must have - so easy!

*2026-08-15*

Marinaid is an amazing app that allows you to put all of your recipes in one place. All of those recipes and reels I saved on Instagram (that I never went back to) are now stored where I can actually use them, categorized, grocery lists generated, all with the click of a button. Those cookbooks that sit on the shelf or in the cabinet, just take a picture and those recipes too are all in one place! It combines the ingredients with the recipe so no more flipping back and forth and has timers built right in!

**Developer response:** Your enthusiasm is contagious! It’s wonderful to hear how the app has simplified your cooking experience by organizing your recipes seamlessly and making meal prep so much easier. Thank you for sharing your experience!

### 5/5 — Intuitive, and user friendly

### 5/5 — All your recipes in one place, finally!

*2026-08-14*

Melissa Clarke and Jamie Oliver and plus any other posted recipes in an organized format is such a great tool for anyone who wants to cook without hunting for that one recipe you once saw somewhere.

Plus, the step by step presentation encourages more mise en place so cooking becomes smooth sailing and a lovely ride. The grocery list helps prevent the one (or more) forgotten ingredients. More fun, less stress. We all need this.

**Developer response:** It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoy having all your favorite recipes organized in one place!
