What's New in Recipe Collector

5.0.0

November 3, 2026

1. Compatable with iOS 26+ 2. Minimum versions of iOS and macOS is now 16; was 15. 3. For dialogs, the primary action is now in the right-most position of the navigation bar and the secondary action in the left-most position. For example, the primary action icon might be a + and the secondary action icon an X (Close/Cancel dialog). 4a. The Food table is no longer editable, because it is no longer necessary. Instead recipes within a food catagory can now be moved within the catagory using drag-and-drop. A food category and recipe can still be deleted: 1) for iOS swipe it left and select Delete; 2) for macOS select Delete from its context menu. Remember to tap the Save icon afterwards. 4b. A long enough hard press on the recipe in iOS will display its context menu. When starting a drag-and-drop, if the context menu is displayed, keep dragging the recipe and it will be dismissed. This is normal behavior. 5. On an iPhone, Scan Recipe is no longer an option for adding a new recipe. Manually enter the recipe using the Fill out Form option instead. 6. In Find a Recipe, any recipe website under a country can now be removed (swipe the entry left and select Remove). Remember to tap the Save icon afterwards. 7. Recipe dish images are loaded on-demand. Over time, their captured link (URL) may no longer be valid. The link for a recipe's Disk Image is now checked if it is valid syntax and reachable. If not, "Invalid Dish Image" is displayed in place of the dish image. Edit the recipe and change its Disk Image Link field to a valid URL. 8. The list of recipe websites in Find a Recipe is now automatically updated. Over time some websites have shut down, got renamed or their search changed. Therefore, the import list of those country websites added in later versions is now merged with the main list and it is no longer necessary to import them. 9. The Favorites websites is now included in the Find a Recipe's list. 10. Those recipe extractors for curated recipe websites that fail because their underlying HTML changed have been fixed. 11. If the app fails to extract a recipe given its URL, send the URL to support@verusapps.com and we will determine why. 12. If you have any issues, e-mail them to support@verusapps.com to get them resolved. We welcome suggestions for improving the app. 13. IMPORTANT: To understand how a recipe is extracted from its webpage, read the User Guide's Introduction. 14. If you use the iMac version of the app, read the section "macOS Version's Differences" in the User Guide.

Crashes

Tried on separate Mac OS, from Sequoia to Monterey and every time I go to add the recipe, the app crashes and wants to restart

Response from developer

Version 12.9.0 was released on May 25th. Please upgrade the app and try again. If the crash issue persists, please contact support@verusapps.com so we can resolve why,

buggy

I've had this going on a day now. I consider myself someone who can pick up how to use an app pretty quickly. This app is far from intuative. If you don't input the info just right, you get an error about an issue with the metadata. Now that I've figured that out, everytime I try to edit a recipe, the app crashes. I'm disappointed that I spent money of this app, and it's not living up to what I'd hoped. So much potential, and now back to the drawing board.
