### 4/5 — love it

*2026-08-04, version 2.3.7*

Super simple and easy and I love that I can keep all my recipes in one place instead of scattered all over the kitchen!

### 4/5 — Overall

*2026-06-01*

I do enjoy the app. I would say sometimes when trying to save a recipe from Instagram, the app just spins. I have to open the app and close it. Then try to save the recipe again. Sometimes that works. But when the app works, I like it.

### 4/5 — No hidden pricing

*2026-03-17*

So far it’s easier to figure out than most of the others I’ve tried and there’s no hidden pricing, which is a huge plus. The others I’ve tried. I downloaded them, it was a free trial period, and then I had to pay. So no hidden pricing is a huge plus. And it’s simple whereas the others were extremely complicated, so thank you for that.

### 5/5 — The perfect recipe manager

*2026-01-20, version 2.1.7*

Just what I was looking for and unlike others with unlimited recipes well done great app.

### 5/5 — Easy to Use!

*2026-01-09*

Saves your recipes and makes it easy find and to use them

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2025-12-29, version 2.1.4*

So easy to use and you get video and text perfectly.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app; best recipe saver I’ve found

*2025-12-22*

Just as the title says! This is a really good app- does exactly what it says it will, and my main issues with it were fixed incredibly quickly once I contacted support to ask about it. You may need to do some editing to recipes you import, but it’s all easily fixed and much less work than other sites. This is also the best app I’ve found for importing recipes from Tiktok captions. Works super well!

### 5/5 — Easy to save recipes

*2025-12-19*

It is very easy to save the recipes in the app

### 5/5 — Great Perfect Tool

*2025-12-15*

Thanks to the developer, good Job

### 5/5 — Fast, flexible and intuitive

*2025-12-11*

I’ve been trying multiple recipe apps; each one has a feature that I like, but fall short in other areas.   Plum seems to have the best of all! I love that it not only takes in the ingredients from the comments of a video, but also listens to the video to increase the accuracy of the recipe.  I’ve tested. It’s ability to create a recipe based on a video from social media, as well as importing from my photo library and from other recipe applications. It passed with flying colors!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I've released a new version of the app v2.0 that should make parsing even faster, let me know what you think.

### 5/5 — Best Recipe saver app

*2025-11-19*

I’m obsessed with this app! It keep all my recipes in one place and it’s so convenient how it just takes recipes from links! Thank you for making this❤️

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2025-11-15, version 2.1.0*

Has all the features needed for saving recipe’s for food or drinks in an easy to use app.

### 5/5 — best saver

*2025-11-01, version 2.0.2*

thank you for providing exactly what I was looking for without costing $$$$

### 5/5 — Love the app, though the new update deleted my previous recipes

*2025-10-01*

Hi! I have used the app for a while now and I really love it, but it seems like the new update deleted my old recipes. Please fix this! Thank you!

**Developer response:** Hi - sorry for your troubles, your recipes are still there! please go to discover (first tab) > settings > migrate to port over to the new version

Ps I’m working on an app update that will auto prompt you to port recipes if you have not yet

### 1/5 — Speichert die Rezepte nicht mehr

*2026-05-04*

Die Idee und das handling an sich ist gut, jedoch speichert es die Rezepte nicht mehr. Egal was man macht, da steht nur loading- und das die ganze Zeit, egal wie lange man wartet

### 1/5 — Recipes rarely appear

*2026-02-12, version 2.2.0*

Don’t understand—— only maybe one in five appears on my app. Shame because I like it.

### 1/5 — Latest update deleted all my recipes

*2025-10-03, version 2.0.0*

Why?

### 1/5 — Loved it.

*2025-09-29, version 2.0.0*

Then the last update cleared my entire catalogue of saved recipes..

### 1/5 — Am I Doing Something Wrong?

*2025-06-29*

I wanted to love this app since it seems promising but I can’t get a single recipe to import. I have tried videos that discuss recipes, videos that give exact quantities, videos that have the recipe in the caption, and copying the text of a recipe directly in from the clipboard… all I get is the progress food emoji without end and haven’t been able to import a single one :/

**Developer response:** hi Alexpadraic - Thank you for giving Plum a chance. Plum servers was down for a bit, but all should be fixed now. I've also released a new v2.0 that should improve recipe imports and allow you to sync recipes across web and many mobile devices. I'd appreciate it if you can give Plum another try.

### 2/5 — Medium

*2025-10-18*

An sich sehr gute Idee, aber bei mir geht es sehr rudimentär.
Ich teile Rezepte aus Instagram, es heißt „saved to your library“… aber da ist nichts… insofern schlecht…

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. There was bug in the version, please try it with version 2.1.0 and it should work.

### 2/5 — Needs More

*2025-10-09*

Good start but it still needs more. I would love more filter options- I’d especially love to filter recipes out based on if they’ve been added to a cookbook already vs not in one, bc I rarely know and would like a way to organize easily

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! 

I'm working on better filtering right now, if you'd like to test it or provide more feedback please email help@plumrecipes.app

### 2/5 — 1/10 success rate

*2025-09-06*

I downloaded yesterday and paid the $9.99. I’ve been able to upload four recipes total, but spent more than an hour trying multiple times before they would upload. Two were from my clipboard and two are from Instagram. Also, I tried another 5-6 recipes that just wouldn’t upload no matter how many times I resubmitted. My time is worth a lot more than the time I spent trying to upload recipes.

**Developer response:** hi Dia99 - Thank you for using plum and your feedback. Instagram and clipboard import should work better (and faster) now with v2.0. If you're still open to giving Plum another chance, I'd love the opportunity to delight you. If not, feel free to reach out to help@plumrecipes.app and I'll get you a refund.

### 3/5 — Repeatedly lost recipes

*2026-02-26*

I want to like this app - it does a pretty good job of pulling down recipes accurately. Updating things it missed can be a pain, but that’s a limitation I understand. However, the app has lost ALL of my recipes multiple times (yes, I did migrate them all to V2, and they’ve gone missing). It’s frustrating because it’s a good app otherwise.

**Developer response:** I'd love to help get your recipes back, they aren't lost! Please email help@plumrecipes.app

### 3/5 — Love it

*2025-08-01, version 1.9.5*

*update*
While I still love the app, instagram import can be buggy/does not work often. Especially video in foreign languages. Used to work so seemless..

It works well across instagram,  YouTube, and just simple copy and paste url from blogs. I paid for the one time paid version after using it and loving it so much, even though free version is more than enough--just because I wanted to thank the developer.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-08-14*

The one thing I am missing is to be able to alphabetically sort the cookbook tabs I created. Having to scroll through all of them to find the right category is a pain and had me already double up tabs. If you fix that it’s perfect and five stars

### 5/5 — Perfection!

*2026-08-10, version 2.3.7*

I accidentally paid a fortune last year to subscribe to another recipe organisation app but this one is only a £10 one off payment and OMG it’s everything and more that I need.  This app is so clever, so easy and intuitive and a sheer pleasure to use. I have now bought a little flexible wall mount for the kitchen for my old iPad and I am looking forward to getting rid of eleventy-billion bits of paper and have everything on this app where I can just find the recipe I want within seconds and have it in screen as I cook. It’s also super simple to upload recipes either scan one of your 11 billion bits of paper or popping a URL for the recipe and boom it’s in.  I love that you are also able to menu plan which will then generate you a shopping list. If Heineken made recipe organisation apps this would be it!!

### 5/5 — Best recipe app I found

*2026-08-04, version 2.3.7*

Plum recipes is probably THE ONLY recipe saver you need!! It imports from Pinterest links, you can scan your cookbooks, imports from YouTube or TikTok, and the best part? There is no subscription!! It’s only a $10 one time purchase!!! I can’t wait til the day we get it on Android too!! If plum recipes has a million fans, then I’m one of them. If plum recipes has only one fan then that is me. If plum recipes had no fans then I’m dead. If the world is against plum recipes then I’m against the world!!!

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2026-07-25, version 2.3.7*

Very easy to use. Great app for collecting recipes.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-07-03, version 2.3.5*

Very easy to save recipes seen on Facebook or internet. Works so well and handy to have everything in one place.

### 5/5 — New fav app!!!

*2026-04-05, version 2.3.1*

Saved all the personal recipes I wrote in notes to clear up storage and saved a bunch of social media recipes. Hope not to lose any (update: definitely a great app; only improvement is that the recipe gets saved twice randomly sometimes.)

### 5/5 — (Edit) Developer offered help

*2026-03-13*

I am updating my review - it is a good app, but mostly out of appreciation for the developer

I lost my recipes a few times, and said so in my original review. The developer offered to help directly, and I really appreciate that.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take them up on the help because I’d already pulled all my recipes down again, but I will absolutely reach out if I have problems in the future.

Big kudos to a dev that cares about their app and the people who use it!

**Developer response:** I'd love to help get your recipes back, they aren't lost! Please email help@plumrecipes.app
