I’m impressed with BrightDish! I love to cook and this has made cooking so much more organized for me.When I’m bored or stuck on what to make for dinner, I love using the recipe generator. It doesn’t always come out perfect, but it always sparks great ideas and points me toward something new and tasty.The feature I love most is how easily I can import a photo of a handwritten recipe and have it turn into a clean, digital recipe. I can also add my own notes right in the app too—like “double the garlic because we’re vampires” or reminders for what worked last time. It feels much more personal.I also love the website import tool. No more pop-ups or weird layouts. Just paste the link and boom—clean recipe saved. It’s a total game-changer when I want to try a new recipe too!The app just feels thoughtful and easy to use. Definitely download BrightDish. Highly recommend!
Love this app!!

What a great place to organize recipes! It has categories and tags for multiple search options. It is easy to use. The recipes that I have imported show the recipe author and where it came from.
The Perfect App

I’ve been wanting to try an app like this for so long. I love trying new recipes, and my photo library is a total smattering of screenshots. This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for!
Amazing!

This is exactly what I need to organize and search meals. I love how easy it is to use, and finding new recipes. My old recipes were easy to upload and sort through.
NEW:
- You can now preview *.dish files that people send to you in Messages before importing them into BrightDish. Just tap the file!
- Some screens have received a UI refresh.
IMPROVED:
- When you import a web recipe with an unknown meal type, BrightDish will now intelligently guess based on the ingredients.
FIXED:
- The "Share as File" option in some menus was nonfunctional.
- A few animation glitches.
