Great app

I love this app, but what really stands out as the customer service. It’s truly top notch! Anytime I have a question or run into an issue. I get a quick response. Unlike so many other apps where you can never seem to get a response, Pepperplate is always there when you need help. It makes such a difference knowing there’s a team that actually cares about it’s users!

My recipes keep multiplying

Frustrating when you have 25 of the same recipe. Seems like they would be on top of there organization a little better. I cannot delete them, they just appear again. Second most frustrating thing is my recipes are getting lost 😭. Don’t trust this app.

Our go-to place for our recipes

We’ve been using Pepperplate for years. It is our go-to for organizing recipes. We use it for shopping lists and menus. Everything from Thanksgiving to a small dinner party. We love the ability to import recipes seamlessly from so many website sources. And easy to add others manually. We highly recommend this app.

Great app

I’ve been using this app for more than 10 years. Use it almost daily, my mom and I share recipes across it, build grocery lists grab new recipes with the browser plugin when it’s available. Never have I had an issue.

Love it

Simple but useful

I have used Pepperplate for years. It does exactly what I need, holds my recipes. It doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles but you can construct a menu and meal plans and generate a shopping list. That’s exactly what I need. No outrageous ongoing fees.

Are you guys still there?

I have been using this app for years! I love it, but maybe some updates are due? There are so many websites that are not compatible.

Solid, reliable and functional

I have used this app longer than I can remember. I am an avid cook and recipe collector. For me, this does exactly what I need it to do. Keeps my recipes, easy to find and use while cooking. Easy cut and paste new recipes. Had trouble a few years ago and tech support was super helpful. My app currently has 887 recipes.

Essential in meal planning

I’ve had this app for years and although it hasn’t changed much I never really used it to its full potential, only using it to store recipes. Now after adding a large catalogue of recipes I use it to plan my meals for the month ahead and create my shopping list automatically saving time and money. My kids can view what’s on the planner and view instructions easily to prepare the meal themselves when needed. I love it

Fantastic

Pepper plate was the first step I ever bought on my eyes or my iPad or my first iPhone. I’m not sure it’s fantastic. It’s so easy to use easy easy to use. I always recommend it to everybody. I don’t know why you use anything else. It’s my favorite.

I have used this app nearly every day for over a decade

It’s simple, and it works, and it suits me very well. And yes, I have tried other recipe collection apps out there. This one is just my jam. Does it have limitations? Sure. But I find it such a dependable and easy part of my kitchen repertoire that I can’t imagine life without it. Happy to shell out the monthly subscription fee.

Out of date and not user friendly

Used for years - I kept with them even after they went subscription. Then I realized there were much better options out there for much less money. This did not upgrade over all the years I used it, didn't allow auto uploads from common sites, and wasn't great for sharing with family spent weeks moving all my recipes and haven't regretted it.

Easy to Use

This app is easy to use that helps me keep my recipes all in one place. I’ve been using it for years and it’s great.

i’m dependent but please update

I’ve been using this for years and there is nothing else that works so well for my life. It has everything I need but I wish they would update it more frequently for bug fixes. It used to be free and now it’s a subscription model, which made me hopeful. It’s hard to recommend it because I always have to give a caveat.

Is anyone updating the app?

I have been using this program for years. And it seems that since they started charging money that the app doesn’t ever get updated. I’m so tired of having to delete and reinstall the program. And if you are in a store and your WiFi is bad, the program keeps crashing. And my devices aren’t syncing anymore. I have over 3,000 recipes in the program, and don’t want to transfer to another program. I wish this is could be a better review.

No update

This is a flagrant passive income play for the developer. The app is no longer competitive with its near peer which is not subscription based. I’ve been using the app for more than 12 yrs. No significant changes since then.

Needs to be updated

App needs to be updated especially now that there is a monthly charge. The sorting of the shopping list has always had some opportunities but it doesn’t even sort “shredded cheese” into the cheese section. Either make free again or make some improvements! I have had Pepperplate for years but that may have to end.

Stole recipes

I’ve used since it was free and I can’t get my recipes off unless I pay for the subscription. Absolutely rubbish

Keeps crashing

I have had this app for years and have loved it. The last couple of days it keeps closing out as soon as I open it. Don’t know what the deal is.

Keeps freezing

Great App but it keeps freezing or closing out-I tried to let them know a while back but they blamed it on me. I wish it would get fixed-it’s been happening for close to three years!
