### 5/5 — Besser als die anderen Apps

*2026-03-24*

ich war auf der Suche nach einer App um sowohl Rezepte aus dem Internet als auch welche aus Büchern zu vereinen. ich habe einige Apps getestet und Taste ist die beste davon. Die KI funktioniert echt gut um Rezepte aus Büchern zu scannen. Und die Nutzeroberfläche ist toll.

### 5/5 — Praktisch UND schick

*2026-03-13*

Den Rezeptimport über Fotos gibt es bei mehreren Apps, aber hier geht es auch von Insta Videos, Websites und vielen weiteren.
Dazu werden die Rezepte super schick mit Bildern als Galerie dargestellt, auch etwas was mir woanders fehlte.

Schön wäre noch das Teilen zwischen 2 Personen (verschiedene ICloud Accounts) und eine Einkaufsliste oder am liebsten ein Export in die Apple Erinnerungen Einkaufsliste!

### 4/5 — Sehr gut

*2026-02-12*

Ich finde alles super. Die Rezepte werden fast alle übernommen. Wenn ich meine Rezepte noch mit denen von meinem Mann synchronisieren könnte würde ich 5 Sterne geben.

### 4/5 — Top App für eigene Rezepte

*2026-02-10*

Super wäre die Möglichkeit gemeinsam ein Rezeptbuch erstellen zu können. Bspw in der Familie über die iCloud oder so

### 5/5 — More than I ever expected!!

*2026-02-05*

I have absolutely been enjoying this app and use it daily. It’s been easy to get used to. I’ve figured out a lot of great features I love as well. Import recipes, sort, alter, add and change ingredients. It’s awesome, I totally recommend.

### 1/5 — HELP please help! How does this app works? Is there a manual.

*2026-02-02*

HELP!  Is there a manual? How does this app work ?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your message. I’m always open to feedback and do plan to add more help or guidance in places where I see it’s genuinely needed. A dedicated help section is on the list, but to be transparent, it’s not the top priority right now.

That said, if you’re facing specific issues or something isn’t working as expected, I’m happy to help directly – assuming there’s a real question behind the review. Just reach out, and I’ll do my best to assist. Taste is constantly evolving, and user feedback plays a big role in shaping what comes next.

### 5/5 — Pleasently surprised

*2026-01-29*

This is amazing, sat on it for a while but when I stated testing I was amazed
The A.I. Is awesome. I screenshot recipes from my meal planner app then it transforms it to recipes. Not to mention the browser download or the camera…
The categories I created for different recipes and possibility to view all recipes in search is perfect.
I needed help and got a fast response and guidance

### 3/5 — Endlich ein digitales Kochbuch

*2026-01-28*

Echt eine Super App! Einfach zu bedienen, übersichtlich und endlich alles digital. Aber wann kommt endlich die lang ersehnte geteilte Bibliothek, dass meine Frau auch die Rezepte auf ihrem Handy sehen kann?

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das tolle Feedback – und besonders für die konkreten Wünsche! Genau solche Hinweise helfen mir bei der Priorisierung enorm weiter. Beide Punkte sind notiert und fließen in die weitere Planung mit ein. EDIT: Zur geteilten Bibliothek, damit deine Frau die Rezepte auch auf ihrem iPhone sehen kann. Das Feature ist weiterhin in Arbeit und es dauert leider deutlich länger, als ich selbst ursprünglich geplant hatte. Mir ist wichtig, dass das Teilen am Ende wirklich zuverlässig und sauber funktioniert, und dafür sind im Hintergrund größere Anpassungen nötig, die sich neben Fixes und kleineren Themen immer wieder in die Länge gezogen haben. Ich verstehe gut, dass das Warten frustrierend ist, gerade wenn man Taste genau dafür gemeinsam nutzen möchte, und es tut mir leid, dass sich das immer wieder verschoben hat. Es sieht so aus, dass die geteilte Bibliothek im Februar veröffentlicht werden kann. Ich bin dran und das Feature wird kommen 🙂

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.13 — 2026-07-17

This stability update fixes crashes related to tags and file imports.

# Fixes
• Duplicate or conflicting tags are now handled more robustly.  
• File import is now more stable, so leaving the Recipe Book won’t cause crashes while an import is still preparing.

### 1.5.12 — 2026-07-08

This smaller update mainly refines Search and Smart Folders. Search is now placed more prominently, the new tab bar feels more modern, and several details have been adapted for current iOS versions.

# Changes
• On current iOS versions, Search is now integrated more prominently into the tab bar, making it feel quicker to access.
• The suggestion panel for categories and tags has been rebuilt from the ground up and now fits more clearly into Search.
• Search history, search results, and empty states have been refined to make Search feel calmer and easier to understand.
• Smart Folders have been visually refined, both in Search and when creating or editing them.

# Corrections
• Several visual issues in Search, search results, and Smart Folders have been fixed.
• Smart Folders in Search now update more reliably after being created or edited.

### 1.5.11 — 2026-06-24

This update mainly introduces the new file import feature in the Recipe Book. It also brings a noticeably improved intelligent recipe tool for structuring recipes, along with several visible improvements and everyday fixes.

# Additions
• Recipes can now be imported directly from local files into the Recipe Book. Multiple files or a single folder can be processed in one run, reviewed beforehand, and then saved selectively.
• From the start, file import already supports a broad first set of local formats, including images, text files, PDFs, locally saved recipe pages, and Taste export files.

# Changes
• The intelligent recipe tool for structuring recipes has been significantly improved. It now works more clearly, organizes ingredients and steps more reliably, and delivers more coherent results in the default case.
• The showcase content in the Recipe Book has also been refined visually and updated with refreshed images.
• The presentation of badges and showcase content in the Recipe Book has been tuned to feel calmer and more consistent in several places.

# Corrections
• Detail views in recipes now behave more cleanly when switching between multiple open contexts.
• Several rare stability issues in Search and the Recipe Book have been fixed.

I’m happy to finally make file import available. It is an important step because it opens up new and much more flexible ways to bring recipes into Taste. At the same time, this is only the beginning: more formats and additional import paths are planned over time, so recipes can be brought in more broadly and more easily.

### 1.5.10 — 2026-05-22

This update is a smaller interim release with a few important fixes and two visible improvements. The focus is on better stability, new multi-delete support in the Recipe Book, and a refined in-app browser.

# Additions
• Recipes and categories can now also be selected and deleted together in the Recipe Book.

# Changes
• The in-app browser has been refined and adapted to the new Liquid Glass design.

# Corrections
• Exports and Recipe Book backups are now more reliable.
• In assignment mode, the Tag Manager now starts more reliably with the correct height when larger text sizes are used.
• Fixed a hang in Tag Manager search on iPad.

### 1.5.9 — 2026-05-18

This update expands Taste in two directions: Smart Recipe Tools introduce new AI-assisted tools directly inside recipes, and tags can now also be assigned to multiple selected recipes at once in the Recipe Book. In addition, this release includes a few focused fixes in related areas.

# Additions
• Smart Recipe Tools introduce a new shared foundation for AI-assisted recipe revisions, including a dedicated start flow, preview, and deliberate apply step for visible changes.
• `Translate Recipe` is now available as a new tool for translating existing recipes directly inside the currently opened recipe.
• `Structure Recipe` is now available as another tool for organizing recipes more clearly, improving the structure of ingredients and instructions, and making visible recipe content easier to work with.
• Tags can now be assigned to multiple selected recipes at once in the Recipe Book.

# Changes
• The Tag Manager has been extended for the new multitagging flow and now presents assignment mode more clearly. This also improves the context presentation for multi-selection, empty selection, and blocked cases.

# Corrections
• Fixed a crash in the Smart Folder tag picker that could occur with duplicated shared-tag states.
• Fixed a hang while printing or sharing certain Paprika-imported recipes with problematic note states.
• Problematic optional recipe links no longer block export or Recipe Book Backup. Clearly recognizable link issues are now handled automatically.
