Paprika Recipe Manager 3 17+

I have been using Paprika app for many years, in fact since the original release. I very rarely purchase apps but i have purchased/use this app on my iPad, MacBook and iPhone.
I have recently been trying to use the pantry and menu planning more to fully use all the features of the app but i mostly just use it to store my recipes which i can then refer back to when I’m at the supermarket.

One thing that i would really love to see and i have sent a suggestion to developers is to have a “tag” feature. I like organising all my recipes in categories based on the books/source i got them from. Would love to be able to tag for easy searching such as: Christmas, holiday, picnic, visiting - this would really facilitate a lot for me. Currently I’m putting these tags in notes but the annoying thing is when searching i have to change the search field to notes.
This wasn’t even enough for me to give it one less star. That’s how much i love this app :)

I’ve been searching for an app like this for a while but a lot of the other options are subscription based, which can be expensive.

This app is a one time purchase and has so many helpful features! I’ve just moved out of home for the first time and I was feeling so overwhelmed with random shopping lists everywhere and never being able to find the same recipes. Now I have them all stored in different categories! You can creat shopping lists, add your own personal recipes, download recipes offline which is great because the app just categories and saves the important info like ingredients and instructions (no more reading through paragraphs of irrelevant info).

I can now also start planning my weekly and monthly meals with their planner function. Seriously amazing app, has made the transition way less stressful, thank you.

This would be my favourite app in terms of the positive impact it’s had on my life. I love to cook and used to maintain four gigantic 3-ring binders full of scrapbooked recipes. Of course I could never find the recipe I want when I looked for it in the binders. Now I keep all of my 1300+ recipes on Paprika and can find things with a brief search of name or ingredients. Being able to tick off ingredients as I add them to the recipe means I never leave anything out! Every time I try a new recipe, I add a rating and comments about any modifications. I’ve noticed over the years that paprika seems able to automatically load recipes from more websites (rather than manually saving them) which is a bonus. It’s also really easy to share recipes with others. I love that you can now add custom grocery list categories. This year I even bought the Mac version, which i’ve found much faster for tasks like adding categories or notes to large numbers of recipes. Thank you.
