No Mac Version🙁

Make a Mac version or even just make the iPad version available for Mac install and it would be 5 stars. iPad is fine for one or two recipes to upload, Mac would make it so much easier to manage.

Love it!

This app has been so great for our family. My husband and I can both working from the same recipes and plan. They were super supportive and responsive when we reached out with an issue, working with us to resolve it. 👏

Good app

I came over from another app that I had used forever because of the ability to import recipes from Instagram and share recipes with my family. It was a pretty seemless transition. There are some features I miss (tagging, the ability to mark a recipes as made, views, etc). This is a good app and it works as advertised most of the time, but with some added features this could be a great app.
