Organise them into your own collections, ready to simplify and cook from. COOK WITH LESS MENTAL LOAD Use Cook Mode to follow recipes one step at a time, keep track of your progress and clearly see what comes next. Adjust the text size and appearance, choose from accessible font options, scale servings and convert measurements.

CO-DESIGNED WITH NEURODIVERGENT COOKS Scran has been co-designed with real home cooks, including people with ADHD, dyslexia and autism, to reduce the demands traditional recipes can place on planning, reading, focus and memory.

It forced me to create an account before i could do anything. Then when my account was made, i tried copying a recipe from instagram and was instantly paywalled. I couldn’t continue unless i accepted a 14 day free trial before $9.99 recurring payments. I tried pressing the add recipe button instead, and only received the same popup forcing me to subscribe first. Very frustrating. Deleted immediately. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, and we’re sorry the subscription came as a surprise. Scran is a paid app because every recipe import and simplification has a cost to process. As a small, self-funded team, a subscription allows us to cover those costs, keep Scran ad-free and continue improving the app. ### 5/5 — So helpful! Love Scran *2026-08-19* I cook a lot but when I’m following a recipe I hate always having to scroll around the webpage to find the ingredients and the method amongst all the text. Scran simplifies everything for me and I love the ticking off each step feature **Developer response:** Thanks so much! We know how frustrating all that scrolling can be, so we’re really glad Scran is helping you focus on the cooking and keep track of each step 💛 ### 5/5 — 10/10 app for making 10/10 scran *2026-08-19* Genuinely once you start using scran, you won’t go back!! The unique simplify feature (absolute genius) takes all the tricks and trip-ups and teaspoon/tablespoon nonsense out of the recipes you love, and makes cooking not only easier and more achievable but also actually FUN again? Plus if you’re anything like me it’s such a useful place to store and organise all the recipes you find and save on TikTok and Instagram and means you actually use them. Love it! **Developer response:** Wow, a 10/10 review, thank you! We’re so glad Simplify is taking the trip-ups out of recipes and making cooking feel achievable and fun again 💛 ### 5/5 — Fantastic App! *2026-08-10* I absolutely love this app! I’m constantly finding amazing recipes on TikTok and Instagram, saving them with every intention of making them… and then they just sit in my saved folder forever because I can never be bothered scrolling back through everything to find them. This app has completely solved that problem. It takes the recipe straight from the original source and turns it into something so much easier to follow. Everything is organised clearly, which makes cooking feel so much less effort. It saves me time, makes recipes more efficient to follow, and genuinely does exactly what it says on the tin. I’ve already actually been making all those recipes I’ve been saving for so long! Would highly recommend! **Developer response:** What an amazing review, thank you! We’re so glad Scran is helping those saved recipes finally make it into your kitchen and making them feel like much less effort to follow 💛 ### 5/5 — Such a helpful app *2026-08-09* I love having all my favourite recipes in one place and it’s great that I can organise them into categories. Although I’m not neurodivergent, it makes cooking so much easier, especially with more complicated recipes because I can just tick off the completed steps without getting overwhelmed and lost in the recipe. It’s very easy to import recipes from all platforms and the shopping list feature works brilliantly. Highly recommend!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for such a thoughtful review! Scran was designed with neurodivergent cooks but made to help anyone simplify cooking, so we’re delighted it’s making complicated recipes easier to follow and keeping all your recipes and shopping organised 💛 ### 5/5 — Simplifies cooking *2026-08-07* My favourite thing about this app is that I can save my recipes from everywhere - Pinterest, insta, etc in one place when usually I would never return to these recipes after saving them. Then I can format all my recipes in the same way, cutting out all the fluff from the recipes so I can focus on the ingredients and method. Takes out all of the stress from planning meals when everything is in one place and cooking and saves me a lot of time. Highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so glad Scran is helping you bring all those saved recipes into one place, cut through the noise and make planning and cooking feel less stressful 💛 ### 5/5 — Makes cooking super enjoyable! *2026-08-07* Actually enjoyed cooking for the first time ever when I used Scran in the simplified mode.

Hearing that you genuinely enjoyed cooking with Scran for the first time reminds us why we started it in the first place. We’re delighted Simplify took away the pressure and made the recipe easier to follow 💛 ### 5/5 — The app I’ve been waiting *2026-08-07* My life in the kitchen has been transformed, makes following recipes so much simpler and and breaks everything down step by step.

However, this app makes it so easy and so accessible that I have started loving cooking!!
