Cooking from a video means scrolling back every time you forget a quantity. RecipeFetch fixes that. Paste a YouTube cooking video or a recipe page and RecipeFetch turns it into a proper recipe. Then in Cooking Mode, every step fills the screen with just the ingredients and exact amounts that step needs. Your screen stays awake, and there is nothing to scroll back to. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Cooking Mode shows the ingredients and quantities for the step you are on — no scrolling back, no remembering • Choose your measurements: metric, imperial or US cups, and every quantity in every recipe converts • Adjustable servings that rescale ingredients automatically, in Cooking Mode too • Every recipe credits its creator and links back to the original video or page • Browse and filter your library by the creators you cook from most HOW IT WORKS 1. Copy a link from YouTube or any recipe website 2. Paste it into RecipeFetch 3. AI extracts the full recipe into your library ALSO INCLUDED • Clean ingredient lists with quantities you can check off as you cook • Clear, numbered step-by-step instructions • Estimated nutrition per serving — calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, sugar • Allergen indicators for dairy, gluten, nuts, shellfish and more • Search, filters and a "Most cooked" shelf to find recipes fast • Cloud sync — your library follows your account on any device FREE TRIAL AND PRO Every new account starts with a free trial: extract up to 7 recipes in your first 30 days, with full access to everything. RecipeFetch Pro is an auto-renewing monthly subscription (US$0.99/month — your local price is shown in the app before purchase) with up to 15 recipe extractions per month. Whatever happens with your subscription, you always keep access to your saved recipes. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. A NOTE ON ACCURACY Recipe content, nutrition values and allergen indicators are AI-generated estimates and may be incomplete or wrong. Always verify ingredients against the original source and product labels — especially if you or anyone you cook for has a food allergy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IHOP at none against RecipeFetch's 1. IHOP also leads on ratings volume (61K vs 1) and chart position (#75 vs unranked). RecipeFetch's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
