Klimatopf
Read full descriptionHide full description
Der «Klimatopf» ist ein umfangreiches Grundlagenwerk, das weit über eine reine Rezeptsammlung hinausgeht. Es vermittelt fundierte Hintergründe, Zusammenhänge und Informationen rund um eine zukunftsfähige, nachhaltige und genussvolle Ernährung, basierend auf der Planetary Health Diet. Das physische Buch bietet viele Vorteile und bleibt ein wichtiges Medium. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht die Umsetzung in Form dieser App eine komfortable Nutzung ausgewählter Inhalte. Die App ersetzt das Buch nicht, sondern bietet mit sämtlichen Rezepten eine digitale Hilfe für den Alltag. Während im Buch das Zutatenverzeichnis bei der Suche nach passenden Rezepten unterstützt, erlaubt die App eine einfache und flexible Navigation durch Filter- und Suchfunktionen. Zusätzlich können Rezepte als Favoriten gespeichert werden, sodass sie jederzeit schnell wiedergefunden werden können. Wer bestimmte Lebensmittel zu Hause hat, kann problemlos nachschauen, welche passenden Rezepte dazu im Klimatopf verfügbar sind. Personen mit spezifischen Ernährungsweisen, Lebensmittelunverträglichkeiten oder Allergien können ihre Präferenzen im Filter festlegen und erhalten daraufhin abgestimmte Rezeptvorschläge. Auf diese Weise ergänzt die App das Buch und erweitert dessen Nutzungsmöglichkeiten. Als Alternative zu den nativen Apps ist die Klimatopf-App auch als Web-App verfügbar. Personen ohne Android- oder iOS-Gerät können diese nutzen. Die Web-App ist in den wesentlichen Funktionen nahezu identisch und erreichbar unter: https://app.klimatopf.ch

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Klimatopf at none against Pauli Universal's 4. Pauli Universal's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
