Read full descriptionHide full description
Chef Master tells you what to cook with the ingredients you ALREADY have at home. Stop staring at the fridge and make the most of what you bought. HOW IT WORKS • Scan your grocery receipt and the app detects your ingredients automatically (OCR). • Or add them by hand with autocomplete search. • Instantly see two groups of recipes: - "Cook now": you have ALL the ingredients. - "Other recipes": shows exactly what you're missing and how many items. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY COOKING • Shopping list: add what you're missing from any recipe in one tap, check it off, and it moves to your ingredients. • Mark a recipe as cooked and the ingredients you used are removed. • Save your favorite recipes. • Watch each recipe's tutorial on YouTube. ALSO • Available in English and Spanish. • No accounts, no sign-up: everything is stored on your phone. • Clean, fast design. Cook more, waste less, and save money with what you already have. Enjoy!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chef Master at none against Scoolinary's 13. Chef Master also leads on ads (none vs shown). Scoolinary's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
