Pestle: Recipe Manager

The best recipe organizer!

After the last update the app isn't downloading record anymore!😡

Signed in again and my recipes all came back. Thank you dev for the great support!

The app has all the basics I need: import from websites, sync all devices, family sharing. It also has some extras I enjoy, like scaling ingredients and using other recipes as ingredients for complex recipes. Alas, even after the last update I still get the same bugs managing my cuisines and categories. I gave up on using those. The smart folders were fixed, that’s a big relief.

Got a new phone now my own recipes are locked behind the paywall

I love that app. Being using it quite often but there is one major flaw to it. A lot of recipes have now separate sections for ingredients. For example everything needs for the main dish, then for the sauce. Dry ingredient vs wet ones. Etc. Pestle is not able to import those into sections and aggregates everything together. This is really annoying as sometimes recipe will say: mix all the dry ingredients first. Etc. Please. Fix this. I’ve stopped using the app because of that.

Great app, love the features, functionality and UX/UI. Highly recommend checking out.

App is good but always wants to save recipes as bookmarks instead of adding them to my recipe card which is very frustrating

Hey! I love the app. There are only two little things that bug me. First, I’d love to be able to copy and paste a photo as the cover when importing a recipe instead of having to download the photo on my phone every time. Also, it would be great to have the possibility to filter the ingredient list shown in the meal plan tab. When making my shopping list, I don’t want to see the ingredients needed for previous recipes. Right now, I have to delete the past recipes from my meal plan even though I’d love to keep them to get a history of what I’ve made. Otherwise, this app is awesome. I would recommend it to anyone. 🙂

The search functionality doesn’t work very well. I have dozens of recipes saved with “Salmon” in the recipe title but searching for “salmon” brings up so many recipes that don’t even have it as an ingredient. I wish search worked a little bit more intuitively.
