- After cooking, you can now tell us more about how it went: Was the portion too small? Was an ingredient missing? Did everything turn out just right? Your feedback helps us keep making our recipes better.
- And for everyone cooking with an iPad: In cooking mode, your screen now stays on, even when you're right in the middle of chopping.
We've also been fine-tuning things below deck.

Ahoy Captain! We're so happy you're cooking with us!
Fall is in the air, and our galley is filling up with delicious seasonal recipes perfect for cozy days in the kitchen.
- Our Fridge Finds feature just got a little upgrade! You can now see at a glance how many of your selected ingredients are used in each recipe. So it's easier to find something tasty to cook, make the most of what you already have, and cut down on food waste.
- Your meal plan just got even better, too! Now you can choose exactly which recipes and ingredients make it onto your shopping list. That means less hassle and more flexibility when it's time to shop!
- We've also been busy below deck, making a few improvements here and there to keep everything running smoothly while you cook up something delicious.

10.2.0 11 Oct
Ahoy Captain! There’s reason to celebrate: we’ve got a big surprise on board for you!
- We’ve been tinkering, testing and trying things out – and now we can finally share it with you: our new Meal Plan! It makes planning your week more personal, more flexible and, most importantly, much more your own.
- You decide when your plan starts and which days you want to cook, choose your diet and food preferences, set your nutrition goals and budget, and tell us what you’re craving. Maybe a bowl, salad or pasta? Or something that’s perfect for meal prep over the next few days?
- You can even choose ingredients you’d love to use and pick a meal type for each day. That way, you can create a varied week that really fits you.
- And once your plan is ready? Helpful tags show you at a glance why a recipe is a great match for your preferences – and you’ll find the nutrition info right in the overview. Add notes to individual days or simply drag & drop recipes to move them around your week.
- And there’s a little goodie for everyone: even without a subscription, you can now use the Meal Plan with your saved favorite recipes.
- Prefer to stay on your usual course? “Plan for me” and “Plan yourself” are of course still on board.
We’ve been so excited to finally share the new Meal Plan with you – and we hope you love it as much as we do! It’s fresh out of the galley, so if you notice anything that doesn’t feel quite right or could work better, please let us know. Your feedback helps us make it even better.

Ahoy Captain! Here’s what’s new in KptnCook:

- We’ve also improved Collections: You can now see right away if a recipe is already saved to a Collection. We’ve also improved syncing and made managing your Collections smoother.
- Plus, we’ve improved search and made a few smaller updates and UI tweaks throughout the app.

9.22.0 15 Jul
Ahoy Captain! Thanks for being on board with us! This update brings a few long-awaited improvements:
- Random sorting is back in your favorites! Simply select it in the filter or give your phone a shake when your recipe collection is bursting at the seams.
- Prices for daily and weekly recipes now reflect only the amount of each ingredient that actually makes it into the pot – not the full package. This gives you a more realistic cost estimate at a glance.(This update is currently available in Germany only. Would you like to see it in your country too? Let us know!)
- Ingredients you add manually to the shopping list now land neatly in the right category instead of floating around uncategorized.
- Your screen now stays awake while you cook. After all, your recipe shouldn’t doze off while you’re busy at the stove.
Thanks for keeping such a sharp lookout! The bugs are gone, so nothing stands in the way of your next cooking session. Have feedback? Send us a message in a bottle at feedback@kptncook.com.
9.21.0 3 Jul
Ahoy Captain!
- In this update, we’ve improved one of your favorite features: finding recipes with the ingredients already in your fridge. Previously, we only showed recipes that used every ingredient you selected, which could make it tricky to find a match. Now, you’ll also see recipes that use some of them. More inspiration, more cooking, less food waste.
- We’ve also moved our brand-new filters directly to the Search tab, just below the search bar. You can now start filtering before entering a search. Happy filtering! And for everyone missing the randomized recipe order: it’s on our radar, so stay tuned a little longer.
- We also fixed an issue that caused the app to freeze for some users when signing in to an existing account, and added a few small visual improvements for smoother sailing.

So nothing stands in the way of your next cooking session.

Ahoy Captain!
We’ve polished and tidied up the filters in Search and Favorites!
- Thanks to your feedback, we’ve added “cooked” and “not cooked” to the Favorites filter, so you can find beloved classics or fresh cooking adventures even faster.
- Also new on board: clearer filter sections! Discover recipes by kitchen appliances, budget per serving, or macros like protein, calories, and carbs – and sort them by protein or calories. Some filters are part of KptnCook Pro or Premium, but the free version has some lovely new goodies waiting for you too.
- And if you’d rather not see supermarket offers in Shopping, you can now simply turn them off in settings.
Full speed ahead for your next cooking session! Have feedback? Send us a message in a bottle at feedback@kptncook.com

9.15.0 25 Apr
