Crouton: Recipe Manager

Dopo aver cambiato l’ iPhone, con la sincronizzazione dell’app su iCloud, mi ritrovo nel iPhone solo due delle 20 ricette che avevo inserito, assurdo per un servizio che oltretutto è a pagamento Se si fa un’app del genere bisogna anche poter dare la sicurezza di mantenere propri i dati. Non fateci affidamento, tenete sempre una copia delle vostre ricette su un altro file.

On top of the 18€ one time purchase to remove recipes limit and a couple of other limitations (Crouton+), the developer now asks for 12€/year for: discover new recipes, share recipes, scan to import recipes. (Crouton Discover) I honestly find this decision unacceptable, just because this is a solo developer app doesn’t mean customers have to be “punished” for it, especially when there are so many good alternatives. Now, if in the subscription the Crouton+ was included I’d be ok with it, but having to pay a subscription for something that is present in most of similar apps AND still not having any privileges from the Crouton+ is just ridiculous. I’ll personally switch app and stop supporting this developer, which is sad because the app is good but like I said there are many excellent alternatives that are cheaper.

The best recipes organization app I’ve used. It has everything you need and even more, that’s the perfect app.

non supporta la lingua italiana :(

The app is really great, very nicely designed and offers a lot of options for free. One thing I would love and find useful is the ability to set timers within the “play” section

If an app offers a lifetime subscription, I know it’s an app that I want to support. The performance is great and the features are priceless!

This app does it all. Many ways to add recipes. Five Thumbs up

It’s a good app but sometimes buggy and it doesn’t sync the grocery list with family sharing. The one other feature it needs is in the grocery section, when you put a checkmark ✅ by an item, it should move that item to the bottom so it’s out of the way. There’s an app called Grocery that does this and it would make this app much more useful. I hope that these features get worked out/added soon.

This application is the one you’ve been looking for most likely. I’ve tried lots of different ones on the iOS platform and they all had pretty glaring shortcomings but this one nearly has it all and is so polished that I’m willing to look past it’s main issue. The nutrition field in a recipe is my only complaint, I wish I could input the macros for the dish (Calories, Protein, Fat, and Carbs) and it would dynamically show how much a serving would be. Currently the nutrition field is the same thing as writing a note, so if your making a smaller portion you have to do manual math each time. Other than that I love how you can tag meals, either with kitchen tools needed (Air Fryer, Electric Mixer etc) or if they are vegetarian, high protein etc. The organization is lovely too. If it wasn’t for the nutrition field feeling like an after thought it would be 5 stars to me.

I wish the Discover features were cheaper or at least just let me import by image for free and keep the price the same
