### 4/5 — 问题如何反馈

*2026-07-24*

没有找到反馈问题的功能按钮，也没有联系方式，有问题的时候不知道如何联系开发者。今天碰到的问题是，突然发现小红书链接没有办法导入到APP里。一个是粘贴链接之后，之前点击导入链接，它直接就自动识别生成相应菜谱非常方便。今天出现的页面是要再把链接手动粘贴到对话框里，但是无论是链接导入还是小红书导入功能，粘贴了之后，菜谱导入的按钮无法点击进入下一步，不知道怎么回事。希望能尽快解决~

**Developer response:** 谢谢您的支持，现在已经修复这个问题。
如果您之后遇到问题，可以发邮件 sunzichen116@gmail.com 来联系我
