Paprika Recipe Manager for iPhone App Reviews

This app has saved so much time for me! I dont even meal plan ahead of time anymore, but instead just choose from my recipes as Im walking the aisles of the grocery store. One request is that a feature would be added to allow easy sharing of recipes with others who have paprika. I have told a few friends about how great the app is and would love for us to easily be able to share recipes with each other.

I love this app. Heres the run down. The recipe import is excellent. I like the way you can purchase the app for your iPhone and then import recipes on your computer via the paprika bookmark. Organization is a breeze. Integration of recipes into a schedule is straight forward and painless. Its easy to move recipes around the schedule or delete them. Adding ingredients to a shopping list is seamless. I also like the way you can cross out ingredients and highlight steps in the recipe as you make your food. Thats a very nice touch. Heres what I would like to see improved: 1. Id like there to be a way to mark the "bought" items in the grocery list and import them into your pantry. 2. Id like to be able see / organize my recipes and meal schedule on the web, but Im sure they dont provide this service so that people purchase the more expensive computer app. 3. Id like there to be way for the app to read PDFs and integrate them into the recipe form. Im sure this third one is asking a lot. But a girl can dream, right? Overall, this is the best meal planning app Ive ever used. Seriously. Buy it.

This app is amazing! Im a busy mom with a toddler and a newborn and this app has made meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking so much easier for me! It helps me save and categorize all the awesome recipe finds from Pinterest, as well as my own favorite recipes from cookbooks. Im not one to leave reviews (although I do read them,) but I wanted to review this app because I love it so much! Get this app!!

I like this app. I use it on my laptop and iPhone. But I am extremely disappointed that my emails have gone unanswered. I want to copy and paste the grocery lists and recipes into my own document. I sent an email on August 8th asking for help or if it was even possible. No reply. I emailed again on the 14th. No reply. Today is the 25th of August and Ive yet to get any response. Nothing. I have a case number so I know they received my email. So whats the hold up in responding?! Very disappointing.

I have tried a number of recipe manager apps and this one is phenomenal. Two things that make this my favorite is ease of use and a picture of the item. Paprika has successfully downloaded every websites recipes (unlike many of the other recipe organizers that only support certain sites). It is also nice to be able to see a photo of the item being prepared and have it categorized

The app is mostly well done but the support doesnt feel like it has anyone dedicated to helping customers after we paid for the app. I received one reply asking a question of me and then all of my follow-up emails were ignored. Depending on your needs the app might be good enough, but dont expect any communication with them. It feels like this is developed by somebody doing it as a hobby without the time to answer or provide help to paying customers.

Ive been using this app for years and am mainly satisfied. Never glitches, has loads of nice features, and they keep it updated mostly. The only downfall on my opinion is that they dont have Apple Watch capabilities. The watch has been out for a year and a half and the next generation of Apple Watch is just about to drop so theyve had plenty of time to put one together, but no dice. I have a toddler and it would be beyond convenient to be able to look at my list on my wrist, thats all I would want from a watch app, trying to look at recipes would be convoluted.. But just the grocery list, I think its not too much to ask. If they ever add this feature, Ill bump it up to five stars, until then, four stars is all I can give. If you dont have an Apple Watch, then this app is superb and near flawless.

This app has saved me so much time with entering recipes. I dont have to do any typing, it just parses everything! I wish there was a way to save those fun yummy 30 second instruction videos that show up all over facebook. They look so yummy but no good way to save them!

One MAJOR ANNOYANCE deserving the 4/5 stars that I cannot believe anyone else hasnt mentioned: they need to put a numbered list option in the "Directions" area. I dont like to see my instructions in blocks without separation. The only way to do this is to import it already in a numbered list done manually (it doesnt work if its formatted in word or email and cut and pasted). Or you have to go through and edit every line and add the numbers or returns between each instruction. Please ADD A LIST formatting feature to text! Also, I wish it would also extract hyperlinks of texts in recipes so I could click on them. Some recipes will refer to another recipe and make the text a link there. But paprika doesnt seem able to retain it. Those things aside, I love this app! Ive been using it for years and have it for my iPhone and iPad. It is great at extracting recipes and loading them on. And if you have no choice but to do it manually, it provides a relatively (but not completely) painless way of doing so. I only wish the desktop version wasnt so pricey (and why I dont own it). Overall tho, it has great syncing and backup abilities so I know I wont lose them!

This is a good app to save recipes but it could be much better. There needs to be some way to save recipes in categories. It is a pain to sift through all the recipes each time.

I love this app and recommend it to everyone I know for recipe management. Lots of clever features, though I have a few minor requests: - Please, please PLEASE just give me a very simple grocery list on the watch. Timers would be nice too when cooking, or maaaybe showing directions, but in general the only time it really bugs me to have to handle my phone is when shopping (when cooking I just have the iPad open) - When scaling a recipe, either scale *all* numbers OR show unscaled numbers in red/orange/some other visual indication that theyre not scaled (I narrowly averted disaster when making a recipe that called for "1 1/4 cups (13 ounces)" of an ingredient, which scaled up to "2 1/2 cups (13 ounces)" - and I was baking by weight! - The timers are *very* easy to miss on iPhone. At first I thought they were cool but Ive simply missed too many of them to rely on it. Such a nifty thought and a clever feature, but doesnt quite work well enough. Despite those quibbles, I *still* think this app deserves 5 stars - its not perfect, but it is great and I cant imagine cooking/shopping without it!

I love this app! I have it on my phone, ipad and mac. All of them function really well and sync to each other. My wife has it on her phone and we can add items to grocery list so we both know what we need at all times. I just added 20 recipes off the internet in about 5 minutes. Excellent app, thank you!!

Annoying that you have to import recipes and it doesnt just have a database. Import doesnt import all the ingredients. That makes shopping list feature useless. Waste of 5 dollars. Wish they had a free trial version so I wasnt tricked into throwing my money down the toilet.

Have been using this app for years. My only wish list is to have the grocery list accessible on the Apple Watch. It is the only thing that might make me stray.

I switched from another recipe manager a few months ago and this one does so much more and all the things in it work!!! I love that I can import recipes directly in my ipad/iPhone. Not sure if the mobile versions were the same $ or less than my other recipe manger but it is definitely worth it!!!!!

This is my favorite app. I dont know what Id do without it.

I really like this app. Love how easy it is to import recipes and customize them. Love how quickly I can generate a shopping list and its wonderful that it groups like items together. Really intuitive. The only thing I feel is lacking is a social aspect. I would love to have "friends" on the app and be able to see their menus, share recipes, etc. If that were a possibility I would without hesitation rate 5 stars.

I have been using this app for years and love it, but after the last update it is not working properly. When I try to download a recipe from a site with a photo, the photo is not being included in the download. I have to save the recipe in Paprika (without any way to get the photo at that point), then go to the recipe using Safari, then save the photo to my photo library, then go back into the recipe in Paprika, go to edit, and choose the photo, then save.....none of this was necessary before. Please fix!

This is the best recipe app (on all platforms)! Worth every penny

I love so much about this app! I bought it for my PC, my iPad and my iPhone. Sure there are features that I would like to have.. a way to search by ingredient, a way to get the pantry to talk to the grocery list, a way to add extra stuff to a meal without having a recipe (like a salad), better documentation (still not sure what a menu does), and a prettier print out. But I love that it downloads recipes from websites, that it creates a grocery list from a meal plan, that it syncs with the other apps, and that its all I need when I go shopping. Easy to see what I have to buy, and check things off as I go. Well worth the investment!
