## What is My Favorite Recipes?

You're looking for an app for your very own recipes? This is the app for you! Instead of focusing on pre-installed recipes like most apps, My Favorite Recipes comes without a single one! The whole app has specifically been designed for that small set of your very own personal favorites.

So how do you get recipes into the app? Easy. You can either type them in on the device. The UI has been highly optimized to make it as comfortable as possible. Or if you own a desktop recipe program, the app supports various import formats (currently CookML, MealMaster, Rezkonv, MXP). Lots of users use My Favorite Recipes simply as their mobile companion and manage recipes on their desktop machine. For more information, check out our website to see what formats are currently supported.

As a third option, you can use the integrated web browser. If the app detects a recipe in one of the supported formats on the webpage, the import button lights up and with the touch of a button, the app stores the recipe on the device. Again, please check our website for more information what kind of websites work and which don't.

Once you got the recipes in, you should find pretty much everything you need: Mail recipes to friends, a shopping list, ingredients can be checked off while your cooking, categories, drinks, authors, ratings, ...

This is an app from an avid cook for avid cooks. If you have any questions or ideas what features to add, just drop me a email. I'd love to hear from you...

### 5/5 — Works Very Well

*2020-11-14, version 2.4.4*

I’ve had this app for years but didn’t use it much since my phone screen was so small even though I had put in a number of recipes. Recently I upgraded the phone and bought an iPad. iCloud syncing isn’t available but it’s easy to import from iCloud following the directions from the developer, so now I have the recipes on the iPad. 

I don’t need nor want a lot of bells and whistles, just a place I can have all my recipes and access them easily.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback! It‘s people like you that make it worth updating this app even after 10+ years in the AppStore.

### 4/5 — Sehr empfehlenswert

*2011-04-08, version 1.2.5*

Eine schöne und empfehlenswerte App, sehr übersichtlich und einfach in der Handhabung. Es kostet zwar etwas Vorarbeit, meine eigenen Rezepte ins richtige Format zu bringen um sie dann zu importieren, dafür hab ich sie jederzeit greifbar und verfügbar, egal wo ich bin.
