New and improved app!

The new version is even better! I love the grocery list option! And the meal planner will come in handy! 100% recommend this app.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad you’re enjoying the new version, especially the grocery list and meal planner. We have more improvements on the way and appreciate your recommendation.

No Bug Fixes or Updates in 2 Years

This used to be a very functional app. I’ve paid for the “pro” subscription for 4 years now but I will not be renewing my subscription this coming year. No one is managing/updating or fixing bugs on this app and it should be free if that’s the case. The recipe import feature no longer works, which is the primary function necessary for a mobile recipe app and this bug has been mentioned several times in these reviews by other users and yet the developer does not care to fix anything. I’ll be finding a new app and will begin transferring my recipes over so I can close my account as soon as possible. Such a shame, it was a great app and served my purposes well.

Response from developer

Thank you for supporting Recipe Cloud for so many years. Since this review was posted, the app has been completely rebuilt, including a much more reliable recipe import experience, improved organization, meal planning, and shopping tools. We’re also actively maintaining the app and releasing updates regularly. We’d be grateful if you gave the new version another try.

Bugs don’t get fixed

If these people would actually put some effort into listening to reviewers input about the huge flaws and bugs this would be a great app. I’m not sure why I keep paying for the subscription. I would easily pay more if they would just show a little bit of accountability to the customer and fix bugs and improve functionality. It’s really a great app except for some key issues - one being faulty recipe import.

Mostly OK

I have been using recipe cloud for some time and have never been able to get a response from anyone when I email about being able to use my Mac to sign in. The sign in never works yet I am able to access on my I pad so feel that what is being said about logging in from desk top isn’t true. It can be somewhat cumbersome at times to navigate around the app and edit recipes when info is somehow missing when the recipe is being saved.

Since this review was posted, Recipe Cloud has been completely rebuilt, including an updated web app, improved recipe importing and editing, and easier navigation throughout the app. We’d be grateful if you gave the new version another try.

From love to aggravated!

I have been using the app for a few years now and loved it but now, not so much. I can no longer add new recipes! Each time I try I am urged to upgrade my subscription to what I already have! Very unhappy!

Major bugs not fixed or acknowledged.

In general I really like this app. I have two issues with it which I’ve contacted them about and heard no response. The first has been going on for months. You can’t automatically add a recipe from a website anymore - it used to automatically populate the ingredients and directions from a website, but this function no longer works. The second has been going on for a week or so. The function to check off a recipe is not working right now.

I hope the programmers can address these issues, because like I mentioned at the first, I think this is a great app and I really enjoy keeping all my recipes in it. Hope this does something. Thanks!

Awesome app worth five stars

This app is amazing! I love how you can post recipes in an instant where in some apps your have to subscribe and yata yata yata. Here you can just press the plus sign and boom you can post a recipe of your own or from the web! I also love how you can save other people recipe so you don’t have to look for it every single time. This app is totally worth it you NEED to get it!

Asks for me App Store password on every launch

Every time I launch this app it wants my App Store password. Seems fishy but I’m guessing it’s just bad coding trying to see if I bought one of the in app subscriptions.

Response from developer

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This may have been related to a previous version of the app’s subscription verification process. The app and subscription system have since been completely rebuilt, and this behavior is not part of the current experience. We’d appreciate the opportunity for you to try the latest version.

Worth 5 stars, but...

I would give 5 stars if the ads were easier to exit from. The ads are confusing to decline.

The import feature is amazing, however the safari integration doesnt work as good, it goes to drafts and you still have to delete it and reimport from a link.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. Recipe Cloud has since been completely rebuilt, including major improvements to Safari sharing and recipe importing, and we’d love for you to try the latest version.

Best Recipe Manager

I’ve spent the last several years trying to find a beautiful, intuitive, cross-platform, and function recipe manager. I’m happy to report that I’ve finally found it. This app is beautiful. This app allows for easy upload of recipes from my own collection and web which is the biggest feature I was looking for. They do have a large index of recipes, but I was personally looking for that. The menu planner is fantastic and the ability to customize nearly every aspect of a recipe is wonderful. Thank you for finally making a recipe manager that is worth every penny!

Can’t add anything because of crashes

Every time I hit save, app crashes and saves nothing. Terrible.

Fix Crashes!

I’m so bummed! I’m normally not the type to do a review on anything but the only app I thought was going to work has been crashing on me. Ugh! Every time I try to save a recipe from online and copy and paste it crashes. What a bummer. It’s such a great app without that happening. Please FIX IT. Overall a good app and simple to use.

Fantastic!

I love this app! It makes it so easy to save recipes and make grocery lists for the recipes I've saved!

Highly recommend! Hats off to the devs for this brilliant and easy to use app! :)

Awefull performance

It's a good idea and has lots of good recipes but the performance is so bad and 100s of ads in middle of recipe page is so annoying that I couldnt stand it.
Every time i opened a recipe not passing half the page the app crashed .

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this feedback. Recipe Cloud has since been completely rebuilt with major improvements to performance, stability, and the recipe-viewing experience. The current app is also ad-free, and we’d appreciate the opportunity for you to try the latest version.

Great app

I was really excited to find this app after searching for a long time. I have used a few great recipe apps that all seem to have lost support for, but this one has all the great pieces of all of them. It's a gorgeous app. The recipe sharing and browsing is something I didn't even realize I wanted and it is awesome! I do wish there was something that measured how many people tried and recommended a recipe.

The import from a website feature works exactly how I want it to. Great implementation of that feature. The menu planner is so much better than other apps I've tried solely devoted to menu planning.

I hate subscription model in-app purchases (I would much rather pay a higher flat fee for it) but I ended up paying for the $1 a month plan and I'm not disappointed. Excited for the export recipes feature that is supposedly coming soon, but all in all a well done app.

Stores only 10 recipes for free & subscription based

I was so excited to use this app and I actually sat down and invested a bit of time thinking about recipes, searching for recipes, and entering them into the app only to find that I could only store up to 10 recipes for free. It then prompted me to pay for a subscription to continue add more recipes. This is a beautiful and well-made app but personally, it isn't worth it for me to pay $0.99/month when there are other apps out there that do the same thing and will only charge a one time price ranging from $1.99 to $4.99.

Response from developer

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We understand that a subscription model may not be the right fit for everyone, but it helps support the ongoing development, maintenance, and improvement of Recipe Cloud over the long term. The app has since been completely rebuilt with major improvements throughout, and we’d love for you to give the latest version another try.

Free app that is not free anymore

This was a good app to keep all of my recipes organized and it was free to start! Now that I updated the app I have to pay a monthly or yearly subscription! So irritating! I understand having to pay for the app but I do not want to pay monthly or yearly!

Wonky - but fixed now

Update: I am updating my review because of the great customer service I received. After sending a note to the developer, he immediately replied and worked on my account. It was updated and repaired within 24 hours. I do not have use FB to log in either. All without any loss to my recipe books. Everything is working fine again, and Recipe Cloud is my go to 'clip and save' recipe organizer again.

I have used this app for a couple of years now and it has been my go to "clip and save" recipe organizer for a while. However, lately there are a lot of issues with it, such as:

-can only use the app if Facebook is active. Even though there is a user name and password you can't log in if you deactivate FB. I went through several cycles of re-setting my password and nothing work until I turned on FB and agreed to share my friends list.

- keep getting error message that my email is wrong, (which it's not since they sent me the password rest to it), so I can see my recipes but can't edit or save new ones

- supposed to be in app purchase for PRO version, either .99 or 9.99 but don't see any description of what these will do.

Overall this was a great app that has gotten progressively more unstable and difficult to use (sigh). Hoping it gets fixed but I don't think I want to rely on it anymore.

Fraud traffic acquisition

App overrides Facebook somehow, when I press context to Facebook in other app I get a prompt to open Recipe Cloud. Apple should ban this app.

I love this ap!

You can copy and save a recipe from a website, then edit the ingredients or directions to suit your personal preferences. I like my recipes broken down into steps that are easy to follow. Recipe Cloud lets me do that. The recipe can be filed in a category of my choice, and shared or kept private if I wish.
