Record X: Personal Finance

How many recipe apps have I tried? Too many! But finally I've found the one I've been looking for. I used and liked the Whisk before Samsung turned it from a simple but effective recipe app into a social media app and promptly forgot the needs of all the people that made Whisk popular. JustTheRecipe does everything in one place through a simple but effective interface. Key features that lead me to buy a subscription: - Free version lets you create/import 20 recipes, more than enough to see if its for you - Import recipe from a URL (works 99% of the time) - Portion Control (want to try a recipe but not have to make the 16 portions in the recipe? Just dial down the number of portions to see the ingredient amounts reduce proportionately (have to subscribe for this feature, but well worth it) - Intelligent conversion to Metric units - Seamless sync between IOS app and the website - Subscriptions are reasonably priced - $22.99 for 1 year (compare that to $12.99 per month for Samsung Food) Like most people on this planet I live in the Metric World. When I see a recipe that calls for 1tsp of paprika, it is really NOT helpful to see that converted to 4.93 ml of paprika. Whoever made that conversion has obviously never been in a kitchen to cook. It is things like that that have stopped me (and everyone else in the Metric World) from buying into US made recipe apps. Finally JustTheRecipe has made a seamless, on-the-fly conversion that doesn't cause frustration. If you have recipes then you know the journey I have been on looking for a simple but effective solution for storing and working with recipes. I've found a home in JustTheRecipe, try if, you'll like it.

Works well, but always asks if it should allow paste. That gets annoying. 5 stars when fixed.

Clean and simple no ads just the recipe

I was trying to find an app that I could use to convert all the recipes I want to try into metric measurements and most importantly stop the recipe website from scrolling itself back to the top of page in on. I don’t know if there’s an easier method of getting this accomplished but Just the Recipe works wonderfully! It breaks down every recipe into measurements I can use for exact measurements. And it takes out all the mind numbing back stories to every single freaking recipe. I DID NOT NEED A 20 min saga about how you came to love this biscuit recipe, Karen!!!! Just give me THE GOODS!! Aka THE RECIPE!!

I use Just the Recipe to plan every holiday/dinner party! It also makes everyday cooking adventures a little less daunting. 100/10 would recommend!

I have been using this app for awhile now and love love it! After many recipes converted I just have a few notes that would make it more user friendly: - tap top of screen to return to top of recipe, as you can do in other apps and webpages on a smartphone. This would make it so much easier to reference ingredient amounts in long recipes! - ability to add sections to ingredients or instructions. I have noticed some import in “sections,” e.g. ingredients for base dish vs sauce, etc. but I haven’t been able to figure out how to add these manually if needed. - fix coding issue where sometime apostrophes show up as %!~\#^ (or something similar lol). It’s not a big deal to fix myself when I see them but would make it a bit more streamlined and require less time correcting text in recipes. All in all a fantastic app that takes away a lot of the clutter and difficulty with ads when cooking with online recipes! I will continue to use it and look forward to seeing updates in the future.

This used to be really great app. You bought it once and used it. Now they seem to be changing it to a subscription service. Not sure I wanna keep doing that. I think that the money grabbing is getting a little too much these days. As well, it’s having some difficulties with saving and editing. If you’re gonna charge more money for it, you better make it work better and make it worth my while.

I have an old clunker tablet in the kitchen for the sole purpose of playing music and serving recipes. The endless dross of ads and sponsor graphics on recipe sights bring it to its knees. No more!

Been really loving this app !To me its worth the Premium version. Recipes I find online through IG, Apple News, cooking blogs etc, they are easily converted in this app. You can edit the recipe & add notes. I can add all kinds of categories for them too. Only criticism is that it auto-corrects capital letters to lowercase letters. So if I’m editing or inputting a new recipe it wont take “T” for tablespoons. It converts it to a lowercase “t” which is teaspoons which messes up my saved recipe. Also brand names of ingredients it auto-corrects to all lowercase. Not a big deal but I think the developers should fix this to not auto-correct my recipe!

Best app ever. I actually am reviewing an app for the first time just because it’s SO GREAT.
