New: Imports that look off now say so. If a scan or a pasted recipe leaves a few lines in doubt — an amount with no ingredient, a step that landed among the ingredients, a recipe with no steps — those rows get the orange dot and a gentle note asks you to check the ingredients and steps before you save. Improved: Recipes you import keep the units they were written in — a recipe in grams stays in grams, and its oven temperatures stay as written. When a recipe's units differ from yours, tap the link under Servings to see it in your own units — and tap again to switch back. A step that already gives both temperatures, like 400°F (205°C), is left exactly as written. Improved: Scanning printed recipe cards. The recipe's real name is chosen even when a word like "Dessert" is printed above it, headings such as SALAD and DRESSING arrive as section labels, and numbered directions stay whole instead of breaking mid-sentence. Bulleted lists no longer confuse the reader, and a misread like "tosp" or "11/2 cups" is corrected to "tbsp" or "1 1/2 cups" and marked so you can confirm it. New: Fractions you type settle into place — 1/2 becomes ½ when you leave the row, so every line in the list reads the same way. The recipe name now wraps onto a second line instead of being cut off, up to 60 characters. New: Type an exact prep or cook time — 12 minutes is now just 12 minutes. The − and + buttons are still there for quick changes, and move in fives. Improved: New Meal is easier to read. The meal's details and its shopping reminder sit on their own cards, each letter's recipes sit together on a card, and a long recipe name is shortened to two lines, always at a whole word. Extra time can now be 45 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. Improved: The reminder after you cook now names what you made — "How did Lasagna turn out?" — instead of always asking about dinner. Reminders and timer alerts now also appear in your language. Improved: Recipes in every language. Easy Read now highlights the ingredients in recipes written in any of the app's languages, Cook Mode finds their cooking times, and the shopping list sorts them into store sections. Timer buttons and the recipe page's Share, Edit and Plan buttons now appear in your language. Fixed: The Done button above the keyboard is back on iOS 26, and in the recipe editor you can now drag the list down to put the keyboard away. Improved: The recipe page's cuisine chip now carries its own icon, so it sits level with the dietary chips beside it. Cuisine and meal type names keep to 20 characters so they always fit their chips and shelves. Improved: Photos in your recipe lists load lighter and faster — the recipe page's photo is untouched, at full quality. Improved: When the Pro plans can't load because you're offline, the screen now says so — and reminds you that your recipe box keeps working offline. Fixed: The in-app timer chime now fades out gently instead of stopping short. Pulling down on Home or Discover no longer reveals a band of a different color above the header.

New: Reorder ingredients — touch and hold a row in the editor and drag it into the order you cook by. New: The cuisine list is yours. Rename or hide the built-ins (Mexican can simply become Colombian), add your own like Hmong, and reset to the defaults anytime — all in Settings → Cuisines. New: Nutrition, your way. Add per-serving figures — calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sugar, sodium — right from the recipe page, and they show neatly as tiles. Fill in what you know, skip what you don't. And if the ingredients change later, a small dot quietly suggests your figures might need a fresh look. New: Recipe cards are cleaner than ever — just the photo, the name, and your favorite heart. The cuisine and dietary labels now sit together right under a recipe’s title, and tapping a dietary label shows a friendly reminder of how the labels work. Fixed: Imported amounts now read like a cook wrote them — ⅓ cup stays ⅓ cup instead of a long decimal, fractions scale cleanly (⅓ halved is ⅙), and recipes you've already imported tidy themselves up automatically. Also in this update: editing a note now has full photo controls (change, remove, or use as the recipe photo), Previous Photos moved in beside Reposition where it's easier to find, the save dialog now makes the everyday choice obvious, a timer tapped mid-edit asks before leaving your changes, and Easy Read highlighting got a little sharper.

New: Paste Text — paste a recipe from Notes, a message, or an email and it's sorted into ingredients and steps for you. New: Previous Photos — when you replace a recipe photo, Focara now keeps your last three. Open Previous Photos to bring one back. Photos: reposition a saved photo any time, and use a photo from Your Notes as the recipe photo. Fixes and polish: the shopping list now stays in sync with every recipe (clearing it clears the checkmarks too), timer buttons wrap instead of squeezing when a step has several, saving a meal to your Plan opens the meal, Clear done stays visible in the timer tray, and web imports no longer double up parentheses or run words together. Easy Read highlights a few more ingredients and fewer stray words. On devices set to a European region, Try Something New features the European collection on its own, and the editor asks before discarding unsaved changes.

A taste of Europe: eleven classic recipes — 24-hour pizza dough, risotto alla Milanese, ratatouille, goulash, and more — now in Try Something New for devices set to a European country, with ingredients and directions in your language.
