The best

This app has been a game changer. Been using it for years. Helps me stay organized from my grocery list to my calendar. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Love It!

This is my all time favorite app! It’s so easy to save from all social media platforms and so easy to find a great dinner or recipe on the fly! 🥐

Love it and no subscription

I love this app because it's basically all the other recipe importing apps, but better and it's a one-time payment. The dev is pretty active on updating and making sure there's no bugs, and adding new features and I just love the fact that there is no subscription because I'm not always consistently saving recipes, so I do not need to always use the app. It's nice to just pay for it and then I have the convenience of using it when I want to. My only suggestion for the developer(s) is if there's a way to set it up so that any recipes you have made is in a different list so that they're all not in just one big list.

Good Recipe Application

I enjoy using this recipe application. I don’t use the shopping list feature, but realize others may find it extremely helpful. I wish the categories would be listed alphabetically (I added several different ones), which would help me find the category I’m looking for more easily. I also wish I could find recipes with a specific ingredient, like kale or zucchini. This would be so helpful when trying to use an abundance of vegetables from my garden.

It’s great!

I really enjoy this interface and I experimented with several apps. Would love better integration for Facebook recipes, but honestly I choose this over all the others
