Crouton: Recipe Manager

Please add web accessibility outside of a Mac app. I work on windows at work and I’d love to browse my recipes in my downtime to decide dinner. Please allow other recipes to be linked at the bottom of the recipes. This is used for recommending or remembering sides that go with that dish by linking them to your other recipes for those sides. Ideal with small icons that show the picture you have saved for that sides recipe for easy visual.

Adding items to grocery list from a recipe does nothing

Everything about this is so well thought out. The timer, clicking on ingredients within the instructions, the meal planner, having folders plus tags available for sorting. I love it. The only thing I hate... And I mean *hate* …is when editing bulk ingredients or instructions if you pull down too hard it closes the window. I never know if I’m at the top of the recipe, so I pull too hard, and then I have to start all over. Sometimes I do this 3x in a row before thinking “just don’t try to look at the top. Save your work and then edit it after.” Otherwise it’s a 10/10 app.

This is a simple no frills app that does exactly what you need it to! It’s fast, clean, and imports websites well. The native Mac app is also a plus!

It’s a rare application that makes it into the daily lives of my family. It’s even more rare for me to pay a yearly fee for an application. I gladly pay for the enhanced version that uses a subscription model. $12.99 a year is a trivial amount to most people, but helps keep the developer maintaining the application. Keep up the great work. There are only two apps that have become daily drivers for us. This happens to be one of them.

I wish the settings allowed me to change the font size.

I’ve had this app for a while and I really enjoy it. It’s easy to use very flexible and I’ve never had an issue with the ingredients not going in correctly. I always double check it and it’s been great. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great recipe organizer.

I love the meal planning for the week, the ease to fill in recipes and import from website, & that it will automatically alert you to import from a site. The one issue for me is that sometimes when my screen goes dark or if I’m pulling from another app, it clears everything I have checked off on my grocery list. So I have to go back through and check what I already got so I don’t miss something. If that ever gets fixed, it will be a 5 star app for me.

A few suggestions 1. Add a “pairs well with” area to recipes links to other recipes 2. Allow recipes to be rated. This helps me see visually our favorites and what ones I need to improve - when you view your grocery list it’s nice to have either a link or separate tab showing the recipes and linking back to the them, it’s also nice be able to tell what Ingredients are from what recipe - having a quick dedicated favorite button - being able to change folder to a full image of a recipe or set of recipes in that folder. Just a bit more visually pleasing

I’ve tried countless recipe manager apps, and this one is easily the best. From importing to editing to organizing - this one is consistently great. Their use of custom keyboards and styling is a bit annoying, but all around I’ve been really happy with this app. One addition that would make this even better is a web app and a web browser extension.
