Easy to use and great support

I’ve been using Umami for a couple of years now and it’s helped me organize all the recipes and links-they used to live in emails, on safari tabs, and even paper ones floating about (scanning function is great)

I recently changed my phone and somehow my recipes didn’t load- Jeff was awesome and helped out right away to restore my 200+ recipes. Thanks!

Solid

Just a very solid easy to use app, I tried them all and this is THE ONE.

Great recipe app!

I had used another recipe app for years but it was a bit clunky and also tricky to share recipes with the family. Someone recommended Umami and I’m so glad that I took the plunge. It was easy to import recipes from the old app and is much better at uploading new ones. We can also share recipes with our sons which is a major plus for us. Love this app!

Worth the lifetime fee

It’s not often you find an app you LOVE, is easy to use and has a reasonable LIFETIME fee. This app is so easy to use. Sharing from any social media or website is super easy. The developer is just a single person and his customer service is quick and he’s super nice. Thank you for this app!

Family Sharing Requires Multiple Subscriptions

Can’t share meal planning or grocery lists with spouse without a second paid subscription.

Probably my favorite app on my phone

I’ve had the annual subscription for this recipe app for 2 years now and it’s the only one I don’t look at and ask if I really need to pay it. I love how I can just import recipes from instagram and write up family recipes without much effort. I love how I can SCALE these recipes too (I thought that was only a recipe website thing) to make it easier on me when making bigger batches of something. The meal planning and grocery list features are also phenomenal and so easy to use. This is genuinely such an amazing (and aesthetically pleasing/nice and simple looking) app that I don’t think I’d be able to live without. To the creator of this app: I love you.

Great App

Fantastic App. Really easy to use and importing from instagram and others is simple. Worth every penny

Sharing

I love the sharing aspect with my family and the ease of recipe access.

User friendly

I love this app. So easy to use. I can add note to the recipe to remind me of something I want to try next time.
I like that I can make my own folders to file my recipes which fits my thought process & not a cookie cutter mold.
Also had great tech support when I thought I’d lost all of my recipes!
Love it!

Get this app!

This app is wonderful. It does exactly what you want it to do. I did the lifetime membership for $20 and I have built up a full library of recipes that me and family love.

You won’t regret this app.

Awesome app!

I love this app so much! It has revolutionized the way I grocery shop and cook. It has made it so much easier to make up my list and my grocery visits are more efficient. One thing I wish I had was the ability to use it on my Amazon Echo, as the screen is much bigger than trying to read from my phone while I am prepping & cooking. Good job on the app!

Excellent recipe app

Really useful recipe app, along with being free and having no ads

ABSOLUTELY LOVE

This app is a godsend. I have so many recipes I’ve never used saved on Instagram one because it’s annoying to watch the video, too annoying to go to their link, three screenshot the recipe and never return. This app makes all of that seamless, in fact it’s so easy even my 76-year-old mom can use it and I think uses it even more than I do. I purchased the Lifetime subscription and love that you can share with a few friends and family. And customer support is excellent if you lock yourself out of your account. Thank you so much Jeff for creating such an awesome app.

Favorite cooking app

Does everything I want

Such a great app!

We have been using this app as a family for a year or so now, and we just love it. Easily search for recipes you’ve saved when you have certain ingredients to use. It’s awesome.

Perfect

I love this app. I am slowly adding all my own recipes and it’s pretty easy to scan handwritten recipes - they need a bit of a tidy up but works ok. Love the import recipe function- I reckon it’s 80% reliable, and I guess when it doesn’t work it’s around the settings of the site hosting the recipe being imported. Have just started seriously using the grocery list function, that’s super easy too. I love that it is simple and intuitive to use. Also love the idea I can export my recipes - family recipe book will one day emerge.

This is awesome

Works so well!

Amazing app + feature request

Hi, I really like this app and use it daily for sharing recipes and grocery lists with my partner. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature that allows to move checked items from one list to another. This will make it easier to create a list that serves as a food inventory since once food is bought it can be checked off the grocery list and easily be added to the pantry list and viceversa when the pantry food is used up. In general I was wondering if adding features that would allow you to keep track of your current items is possible. Other features could include a ‘best by date’ that items can be sorted by. Thanks!

Best recipe saving app there is.

Utterly perfect

Best I’ve found

Absolutely love this app. It basically made everything so much simpler in my daily life that it’s wild. Features and being able to import recipes are great but I even started adding simple things like hotdog night because it’s makes planning so simple. I bought the lifetime plan and have no regrets. Keep up the great work!!
