Just the Recipe: Cook smarter 4+

Best app for recipes!

I LOVE this app! I cook a meal from scratch 4-5 days per week and rely on numerous websites for recipe ideas. The frustration I have felt when trying to get through the ads, dozens of photos, personal histories and all the other crap before getting to an ingredient list is enough to make me want to scream. Often I have fresh ingredients on hand and just need to scan a few recipes to get ideas for a menu.
This app allows me to cut and paste the url and, like magic, the recipe appears in a clear and legible format. I paid for the full app which allows me to save and print recipes, too. Many days I have two or three recipes that I’m following at the same time and it can be challenging trying to scroll on my phone while I’m cooking.
The format for the printed recipes is beautiful, simple and clear! The only other app that is comparable to this perfect format is the New York Times cooking app which I have used and loved for years.
I highly recommend this app and appreciate the upgrade which allows edits on recipes (something I constantly do while cooking) and look forward to updates that will allow me to categorize as I save.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that the app has been so useful for you. Our next major update features a way to categorize recipes, which we're excited to release as soon as possible! 🙂

Amazing App! A lifesaver in the kitchen!

My one suggestion is that I would LOVE to see a feature that let you "add notes" on recipes you save!

In terms of reviewing though, let me be honest: I'm autistic, and sometimes I get overwhelmed very easy. I use my phone in my kitchen because I don't have the counter space for my laptop or tablet. My phone hates recipe websites (it jumps around the page and crashes randomly, which makes me have to refresh and jumps me to the top of the page, and the ads are genuinely overwhelming), and my brain often hates layer after layer of text and filler and the ads.

I used to screenshot recipes on my computer with a dozen layers of Adblock and mineblock on, and send that to my phone to avoid the nightmare that was recipe sites. After learning about this site and app, it's become a vital instrument to cooking and baking, and I'm so, so happy--I've cried over how overwhelmed I've gotten in the kitchen in the past! This saves me from that!

Thank you so much for your kind feedback, starlightelixir! I'm delighted to hear that JustTheRecipe helps to make cooking less overwhelming for you. 🎉

We're currently working on a way to edit recipes, which will support a custom "Notes" section. Keep an eye out for that in the coming months! 😀

UPDATE: The recipe editor is now available. You can now add your own custom notes to saved recipes!

Whoever the creator is is an absolute GENIUS

I’ve had this app less than 24 hours and already am madly in love with it. We decided to not eat out as much and I’m a new SAHM so I cook a majority of dinners now. I was literally just saying yesterday I HATE the stupid blog recipes I need to follow. Scrolling endlessly through worthless text and all the pop up ads I would get, so ANNOYING. Not to mention the layouts make cooking more stressful for me bouncing back and forth between the main dish and sides (I’m not an excellent cook and this is the first time I’m truly trying). The blog recipes are literally the bane to my existence. I usually don’t buy premium versions of apps either but for $13 a year I’ll pay to support the app developer!! They are a literal genius and godsend for creating this app 😭 I transferred several of my go to recipes on here already and the way they’re laid out is phenomenal.
