Does what I want (and more) exceptionally well
05/11/2023

I have super appreciated this app for years, but was initially put off by the requirement to pay for it again. Then somebody reminded me that seven years is a long time for an app to keep working. For example, I am no longer able to use the Microsoft office suite I purchased for my windows XP machine. Fair reasoning. That said, here are some of the reasons I value this app so highly: The “import recipe from a URL” is simply astonishing. It extracts the important elements for recipes from websites like AllRecipes and the Food Network, while leaving all the ads and commentary out. Everything is completely editable after importing, so if you want to alter the recipe to reflect something you saw in the comments, it’s very easy. The import via OCR (optical character recognition – converting a photo with printed text to digital text) is not quite as simple, but once you get it, it’s fantastic. It allowed me to retain my favorite recipes from my mother’s cookbooks, which were falling apart. I told it which parts of the image were the title, ingredients and steps, and it did the rest. The tags, timer, and “cross-out finished steps” features are the ones I use the most, but this app has loads of other features, also. The interface is very user-friendly and the pro version is an exceptional value.

Game Changing App
08/03/2022

I don’t often leave reviews, but this app has been a complete game changer for my meal prep. Before installing this app, I would bookmark all the recipes I found online and tried my best to organize them in folders. But digging through a list of titles meant I often skimmed past recipes I loved or struggled to find the recipe I was looking for.This app has completely changed how I approach cooking/meal prep and even lets me share my favorite recipes with friends! I can now quickly import recipes from the internet or recipes scribbled down by my in-laws directly to my cookbook. It’s easy to find what I’m looking for thanks to all the pictures and custom tags (they start you off with some basic ones which was super helpful). And thanks to the shopping list feature I can now quickly plan out my meals for the week and get an organized shopping list that combines the same ingredients across recipes - no more writing everything down on a sticky note and crossing out numbers as multiple recipes start calling for limes. To top it all off, I can even share my recipes/notes with friends whether they have the app or not. But to be honest, now recommending this app to everyone, I absolutely love it.If you like to cook, and have a ton of recipes to store/organize, this is the app for you!

Does exactly what I wanted!

This app is amazing. It’s a website and phone app that allows you to curate your own recipe book with online recipes. You can take any online recipe link (even the ones that are pay-walled like non appetit) and it scrapes the recipe ingredients and instructions. It puts them in an easy to read format, allows you to scale the recipe for smaller or larger quantities, and allows you to tag the recipe with your own custom tags. You can then search and sort by the tags to make finding the recipes easy. Even more, it lets you add recipes to a meal plan and then use those recipes to generate a shopping list. That feature feels like it’s still a bit in development but it does work. I am at 39 of the 40 free recipes you get and once I fill it, I’ll definitely be buying a lifetime subscription. To the developers: please add a place to add additional links to the recipes. Not just source and video links. Also, make the ingredients list more usable by making it editable over time and not fully refreshed when you add a recipe. It’s common that we add recipes throughout the week and don’t want to lose the edits like what I’ve crossed out cause I already have those things in my kitchen.

Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed 5 star review! We are so happy that you've been enjoying using CookBook and are getting recipe organised! Please do reach out to us on support@thecookbookapp.com in regards to having the ability to add additional links, we'd love to know what links you'd like to be able to add and why. The shopping list is something that is up next in our development plan, we are working on some great changes which will allow far more customisation and editing :)

Best cookbook app

I transitioned my recipes from one recipe app to this CookBook app. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use it. Also, the different options in adding a recipe is so easy. A lot of us copy recipes from websites or someone emails you a recipe. This app allows you to copy a recipe from a website simply by copying the that sites URL. It brings in the title of the recipe, the picture of the food, the ingredients and method. You can also change the measuring units. I like to always covert to the measurement to US Standard. It easily converts it. Another feature is the actual link to the site which is displayed within the recipe in the app. If there is a video attached to the recipe it also automatically pulls it in. There are so many features that comes with this app that was not included in my previous app. You have a choice of using different methods to copy a recipe. If the recipe is in pdf or some type of a written form, you can easily copy the recipe using this app. Of course, you can also manually add a recipe with ease. I’m sold! To the developers, we’ll done!
