The Best
The best recipe app since The Whisk. Take the time to watch an instruction video on how to use all the features and you’ll be set. Yes, you have to pay for a license for each instance—Mac, iPad—but I’m willing to spend the $$ because of the quality of the product.
Exactly what you need
This is precisely what I bought the app for. Consolidate all recipes and easy to access, navigate, plan and prepare. Already levelled up my cooking. One of the best best features is being able to download recipes right onto the app and it includes images, servings, nutritional info and more. Absolutely fantastic.

Buy once, have forever
5 stars purely for no subscriptions. But app also works great, I’m glad to have all my recipes in one place.
Love, love, love this app!
This app is amazing. Many options. I really like the fact that I can easily upload a web recipe to the app.
Great Recipe App
Easy to use and extremely useful app for anyone who loves to cook. It’s a snap to find a recipe online and import it quickly into the app. Only extra feature I wish for is an OCR so I can import recipes from cookbooks.
Love this app
I give very few 5 star reviews. I love this app the only thing that would make it better would be the addition of Nutrition information.
Great app
So easy and simple to either import recipes or type them in using the predictive text. I do wish you could filter by categories more precisely. At the moment, you can’t isolate to something that’s in both categories, it slams both categories together.
Fantastic for recipes and more if you get creative
FEATURE REQUEST: give us a button for the Google News app. (Currently, need to send to external browser then share to Paprika from there.).
I love this app. I picked it up years ago as we started on our seafaring cruising life to keep recipes. I normally don’t use them for cooking unless it’s baking but this app lets me save them ALL. I now have quite a collection. It’s easy to use, effective, worth it. Super easy to pluck recipes and sometimes even from behind paywalls. You can make this as easy or as complicated as you wish! This app gets all the stars!
If you get creative, you can use it for other things too including inventory and crafting.

Exactly what I want
We started using this app 3ish years ago, and it does everything we want without unnecessary frills or advertising. The extraction of directions and ingredients from webpages has been 100% reliable, and the abilities to use menus, build categories, edit recipes, and generate grocery lists are super handy. One of the best apps on my phone! Highly recommend paying the fee to try it, especially if you’re battling Samsung Food or similar.

Where has this app been all my life???
This app is crazy cool!! You search in the IN-APP BROWSER for your recipe. So I copy paste from my Pinterest board. Click the download button from inside the browser. Go to the recipe you just downloaded. Click a button and it adds your ingredients to your shopping list. You can choose items to leave off the list AND it groups the items your list based on where in the store you will find them AND it reminds you which recipe the item is for! HELLO!!! The developers know what's up. 100%

The Best App, However…
This app has little to improve, but with what it can be improved upon, is taking inspiration from other recipe managers. Let’s look at ReciMe for example, and notice how when you “share” a recipe to the ReciMe app, it adds anything & everything from that recipe on to the app. No copying & pasting external links to & from the websites & the app! I think that’s what this app is missing the most, which is easier accessibility to copy & paste the recipe to the app. Not only that, I do enjoy how ReciMe shows little pictures of the ingredients needed for the recipe. Besides that, this is the best app you’ll use… and the best part is, it isn’t a monthly-based subscription! Paprika, forever!

Love this app
The kids and I have fun looking for recipes to try… have the ingredients list… we order groceries and I get everyone’s rating to score it.
Overrated
If you get most of your recipes off YouTube, as I do, Paprika is useless. It’s basically a copy and paste tool and only works if the full recipe including the instructions are written out in full otherwise it can’t capture the recipe. It’s too expensive for what it is. You’d be better off just using Copy Me That, which is free.

Not good at scaling
One frustration I have with this app is the scaling feature, which review general discuss favourably.
It works by scaling any numbers in the ingredients list. A good idea, but it doesn't scale the number 1. "1 large egg" scaled by 4 is still 1 large egg. Other numbers work fine, but it doesn't scale language either. A pinch scaled by 2 is still a pinch, not 2 pinches. It just needs a little attention and this feature would be very nice. It also needs to highlight scaled numbers so that you can see if it's missed one.
I expect a defensive "well it's not A.I" response, but even I can code this kind of logic.

How did I ever live without it?
I’ve been telling everyone I know to use Paprika for as long as I’ve had it, and everyone who has used it tells me it takes so much stress out of cooking. You can use it as a recipe manager only or utilize its full capabilities as a meal organizer / grocery list. Take one day a week where you plan out your recipes for each meal that week and save that as a “menu” to come back to later. It’s truly a time saver and life changer if you use all of its features to the fullest.

Great app but needs improvement in search
I’ve used this app for many years and it’s great for storing recipes and creating shopping lists that can be shared with others and between devices. My only complaint is that the search function is useless unless you know the exact name of the recipe or the ingredient you are searching for is the first word of the recipe name. The search function needs a LOT of work. You can somewhat work around this by categorizing all of your recipes.

The best recipe app I’ve found!
I love this app, I use it all the time and the ability to go to sites and pull the recipe down to store in the app is great! I’ve managed to download family favourites uploaded to multiple sites and the way it manages to separate the ingredients and instructions is soo good. And being able to use the conversion to metrics… I really love this app! ❤️

Love it!
Love this app! Makes my life so much easier. I’ve tried a few and this is my main one I use now. Would LOVE to be able to upload recipes from IG here though for those creators who don’t have downloadable recipes on a web page. If so, I’d give it 5 stars!!
No IPhone Widget
The paprika guide says this app is supposed to have a widget but I’ve spent hours trying to “fix” it but still no widget. I would have never bought if I knew there wasn’t a widget.
Maybe a Perfect App
I paid for it once and that was it, it has worked flawlessly for years, I keep thinking I’ll try using Notion or something when I get a wild hair, but I’ll always come back because I’ve never had a complaint.
