### 5/5 — Organizing my recipes

*2026-08-20*

I really appreciate having a place to put in all of the recipes from my cookbooks (right now I’m using sticky notes to keep track of them). I also was happy I got to add my lasagne recipe by typing it in. No annoying AI bots and best of all it’s free :)

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-08-20*

Super easy to add recipes from instagram or websites without any annoying stories. I also like searching what other users have added. Weekly planner is basic but I think they keep coming out with new releases so I’m looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.

### 5/5 — Great recipe app!

*2026-08-16*

Easy to add recipes from IG and web, and the planner is helpful with cooking more at home!

### 5/5 — Easy for busy fams

*2026-08-10*

I’ve tried various meal planning products and all were too complicated. Recipe Box is straight forward and does the job with me. So easy to collect my go-to recipes and cook with them. Wish I found it earlier!

### 5/5 — All of my recipes in one place

*2026-08-10*

As someone who loves trying out new recipes, I have a lot in different places: pictures on my phone, bookmarks on my computer, sticky notes in physical books. I love that this lets me put all of my favorites in one place. I like that I can also edit them so they include any modifications I made since I am allergic to onions. So useful!

### 5/5 — So easy to use!

*2026-08-03*

Found a whole new life for that box of old family recipe cards into recipes we actually cook from!

### 5/5 — highly recommended!

*2026-08-02*

A fantastic recipe app that makes saving and organizing recipes incredibly easy

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-07-10*

Starts you off with great recipes and incredibly easy to add and sort your own!
