Grocery/ShoppingList
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn your recipes into a grocery list you can shop from. Photograph a printed recipe or choose a recipe image, review the ingredients, and add them to MyGroceryList. Import more recipes one at a time to build a combined list with cumulative ingredient totals. START WITH SIRI Say "Hey Siri, scan a recipe in MyGroceryList" to open the recipe scanner. Take a photo, check the recognized text, and add the ingredients to your list. You can also start from the app or Apple's Shortcuts app. ONE INGREDIENT, ONE TOTAL Matching recipe ingredients share a single row. Common equivalents, such as flour and all-purpose flour, are combined. Fractions are preserved, and compatible measurements are added together. Different varieties, such as almond flour and regular flour, stay separate. Weight and volume remain visible as separate amounts when they cannot be combined. COUNTS AND PACKAGE SIZES THAT MAKE SENSE See the actual number of eggs or cans you need. A recipe calling for two 15-ounce cans keeps both the two-can count and the size of each can. Measured ingredients show totals such as 5 1/2 cups directly in the list. ORGANIZE AS YOU ADD Recipe ingredients use matching existing categories and previous ingredient assignments. Supported custom categories, such as Baking, Vegetables, Spices, and Seafood, are used when available. Unmatched ingredients go to Other. Review category assignments before adding.
