Recipe Keeper

This thing does a great job of scanning and organizing recipes. The only downside (and reason it didn’t get a 5 star) is that you can’t format the text (i.e. bold, italics, underline, etc.)

Buyer beware. If you want to use a desk/laptop AND a mobile device, you need to purchase separately for each. You can’t buy for laptop and then just open it on the phone or tablet. Nope, buy it again. They should make this very clear before you buy. Nice app but that’s a bummer.

You get 20 free then you pay

This has been the best recipe book. It is so easy to import any recipe and organize.

I love using this app, however I am not able to move files from one folder to another. Am I missing something or that option is not available?

I like it, but for the cost, it should function much better. The integration with Alexa does not work well. For example, asking Recipe Keeper to “show all recipes” shows we have 15 recipes (We have 24 in the app). Asking for dessert recipes leaves 1 of our 4 off, despite all 4 being correctly categorized. Asking for chicken recipes pulls in 2 others that do not include chicken and are not tagged or categorized as chicken.

Besides the simple convenience, this app is so smart. I love that I can copy and paste recipe websites and the app grabs all the needed information. Even better than that, I took pictures of my grandmother’s handwritten recipes and accurately recorded all the information. Thank you to the developers!

This app is perfect for collecting and catagorizing online recipes and written recipe collections. I have the premiun addtion that allows to sync my recipe collection on all of my apple devices. I am also able access my recipe collection my Alexa devces. It'a a great APP ‼️

For years I have used big oven on a laptop mounted in my kitchen. Worked, but many irrigations. Upping my cooking game, I wanted better. Tested a few others and found recipe keeper stopping my search. Importing recipes is easy, and does shockingly well from multiple websites and articles where there are pages of junk for you to sift through. Also has OCR, so it scans well from PDF or a photo taken of printed recipes, which allowed me to easily add my entire stack of paper recipes saved over the years, but also digital documents like Word, where you can export to PDF. It even retains the pic if want, which is awesome for handwritten recipes. While OCR still recognizes and imports even cursive text, having a pic of grandmas recipe helps retain that personal connection when viewing. It also allows importing up to 9 photos per recipe, which I use not just for cover pic, but also different stages of the process to aid in cooking. And of course the cute pic of my daughter taking a comedic bite out of every recipe I have. I love that this backs up to the cloud and allows you to connect from multiple devices. Having recipes on my phone allows for last minute shopping lists, while allowing me to work from a larger iPad screen that has a magnetic cover that I put securely on the refrigerator door. It also has the option for staying active so you don’t have to constantly wake the iPad up. The option of multiple devices works well, and allows me to add, update or even plan anytime I desire since I always have my phone. When cooking, the iPad’s large screen shows both ingredients and directions. You can tap each ingredient as you add them, with the recipe app greying out the text to show progress. Similarly, the directions will brighten the step you are on a little, but it is tough to tell, and would be better if it highlighted the text, or grayed out like it does for ingredients. Not a big deal, but one of a few very small gripes. All a lot of thought went into this and it shows in real world usage. Where my prior big oven and other apps are cumbersome, this seems to flow together well and very usable. Even the shopping list is excellent, and while many apps allow you to create one from recipes, this allows me to update from any device and be ready for shopping. It also lays the list out in order of each department like produce, frozen, etc. It also allows you to tap the ingredients on the list and will not just cross it out, but also move the it

Absolutely THE BEST recipe app ever! I love how I can save a recipe from a photo or website!
