Recipe Keeper | OrganizEat +17

Love this app and use all the time. HOWEVER, CREATORS PLEASE, if your reading this, add an option/ button per ingredient that says you have the ingredient in your pantry already. when I am importing my recipes to my shopping list I end up having salt listed 20 times, pepper 20 times, or eggs 10 times for example. It gets exhausting deleting all the ingredients that I already have in my pantry, so hopefully that feature of adding “already in my pantry” button to my recipe ingredients can fix this! Also please try to add a wider variety of available words in the shopping list, when I type in ingredients to my shopping list so many words go in the “other” category when something as simple as “blueberries” should definitely be in fruit not “other”. It gets pretty frustrating when I go to the store cus not everything is organized per aisle like I would like it to because a lot goes in “other”. Oh also, when using my iPad I can’t share the screen with another app and view another app simultaneously, like I can with others. This is not helpful because I would like to view my iPhone calendar and use your app at the same time while I mean plan! PLEASE consider adding these features, I love your app and use all the time, this is just the 3 things that drive me crazy while using it. Hopefully you can improve these things, I truly believe your app is one of the best, I just think these 3 additional features could help it be AMAZING for all users.

Hi Adrilala, and thank you for your detailed suggestions and for your warm words of support! We are reading every review, we just don't always have the time to reply everyone personally. We added your suggestions to our future improvements to-do list :-) I apologise in advice that it might take some time, we are a very small company of only 2 developers so things take us more time than we would like it to be. Thank you again! (by Rachel)

I had been looking for a while for a way to get all my hand written recipes in electronic format, when I found this app. I was just about to purchase one of those scanners with the software to do it. I’m glad I saved all that money!! I had over 80 hand written recipes, and I was able to add them in a very short time! I just took a picture, named it, put in keywords I wanted to use to find it easy, and then put it under the right category. This app lets you take more than one picture of a recipe, so if you want the recipe, then a picture of what it looks like you can do that. I had a lot of recipes my Mom wrote out. She is gone now, but I still have her recipe in electronic format in her handwriting, which meant a lot to me. You can also type out a whole recipe if you want, and it will link to recipes in other websites, etc, although I have not used that feature. It is also super easy to share a recipe with someone by email or text. So next time you take something to a potluck and people want the recipe, just share it with them - then I usually recommend this app to them too! I use this app on my phone and my iPad, so you can do that too - just go into it. Try this app!! You cannot go wrong. You can try it for free and do a few recipes to see how easy and wonderful it is, then if you like it buy it. It is worth it!! I recommend this all the time to friends and family.

Thank you so much for your kind words and this awesome review! 😊🙏

I’m really picky about apps, so I was thrilled to find this one. It is very nice to look at. There are cute little icons (that you can use any way you want) to create custom categories for your recipes, and you can add a given recipe to as many categories as you like, so if you have overlapping ones you’re not forced to have it under only one section. You can put pictures for each recipe, which I love, being very visual. It has everything you need without being too busy/overwhelming. It’s cool that you can even choose a color scheme for the app, so if you love/hate a certain look you can have control over what you look at. And I LOVE that it syncs across devices so you can check and edit recipes on whatever machine you happen to be using. I wish the web version was free to use, or at least had a one time purchase price, but I understand that websites cost money to maintain. I wouldn’t mind paying a one time fee (even if it was a little high) for permanent access. I just don’t like ongoing bills. That has nothing to do with how awesome the app is though. It’s fantastic. I bought the lifetime subscription for the phone app version and am very pleased with it.

And Rachel, if you’re reading this as you say you do, it would be sweet if you could add a mint/Seafoam color theme to the app. That’s my favorite. ;)

Hi Dino Mamma, Thank you so much for such a warm review! Of crows I am reading this :-) Can you please send me to "support@organizEat.com" some examples of your favorite "Mint/Seafoam color" theme? I am not sure I understand well enough what you have in mind, and I would hate preparing a theme that you won't love! (by Rachel)
