Umami - Recipe Manager

Really enjoying using this app to organise my recipes. It would be great to have a feature to highlight as a favourite. Im using a tag for that currently but a favourite button that also files into a new folder would be kind of neat. Also would love an app for the MacBook as I use this more when cooking but really great app. Well done

This app has everything I was looking for and I love its simple design. It’s also really easy to use and set up and the fact you can import recipes from multiple place including scanning books is so great. Love that you can have multiple recipe books and have the option to share them! The groceries lists are great in that when you tick something off it doesn’t disappear from your list so you don’t need to keep adding things each time. You can also have multiple lists which is handy if you don’t do your shop all at one shop. It would be great if you could have the option to move items between shopping lists as sometimes when adding items, they don’t go into the right list if you have multiple grocery lists. I’d also love it if the untucked grocery items from a list were all listed at the top when you use the ‘ungroup’ option in the grocery list as it would make shopping a lot easier! Otherwise it’s a great app :)

Honestly this app has made my weekly meal plans so much easier. And decluttered my home from having books I would only use a few recipes in. Highly recommend

1 thing, how do I delete an image from a recipe?

I’ve used Cookbook app for many years and yes it works for what I’m using it (somewhat, some gripes with it but it works) for but annoys me that I have to pay yearly. So looked around for another recipe management app that’s cheaper and better and Umami definitely delivers on both fronts!! Love the timer function when cooking, so much easier than setting timer with Siri. Importing is a breeze from websites- only comment is it doesn’t import recipe notes. Importing is accurate. Also importing from an actual cookbook is accurate to which is not the case at all times with Cookbook app. Another feature that can be improved is the photos, photos are cropped when uploaded which is annoying but not a deal breaker. Very easy to use and interface is aesthetically pleasing. Please do not discontinue app! Thank you!!!

I love this app so much, I use it every day and I’ve had it for a long time! I love that I can just copy the url to import a recipe (though not every website allows this). You can add your chosen recipes to plan your meals for the week and it generates a shopping list for you! It’s given me incentive to add all my favourite recipes in (you can scan from your cookbooks as well!) so it’s all contained in one place! And I can share the app with family as well! Which means I can plan the meals and buy the groceries but my husband can then open the app and cook the meal for dinner :) You do have to share each recipe book and meal plan separately but I think this is a good function so that you could share different things with different family members. You could create a Christmas recipe book that contains all the meals you make at Christmas and share it with the family members who help you cook! The only small problem is sometimes the app has trouble with fractions and special characters. I have to manually remove weird characters when the app brings in a fraction (e.g it brings it in as “½ cup”) and I have to replace some words that contain special characters (e.g. “tomato purée” instead of tomato purée) Overall, this is a minor inconvenience and I still adore the app regardless. Would also love if you could somehow search the recipes by tag to add to the meal plan - not sure if it could be possible but would be nice to be able to say “I want a curry dish this week” and search for the tag “Curry” that I have added to some of my recipes. Thank you so much for creating this app! I have used other similar apps in the past but this one is absolutely the best!

Love the family sharing, I bought the app and can share the full version with my partner on our own accounts. It’s been great. Very simple & clean interface, a pleasure to use. Tagging feature is very nice and helps manage big cookbooks and drilling down on recipes easy.

Simple, clean and easy to use!

You have to dig for the fact that to use this app after 30 days you need a subscription, the price for which is buried. So it’s a good app with lots of potential but you are going to be disappointed to learn - after adding many recipes- that the pricing is far more than more developed and capable competing apps.

This is an awesome app, plain and simple. I love the ease of uploading recipes to the app, the layout of the recipe once it’s in the app and just the fact that now I have my recipes on my phone with me all of the time so when I go to the store and decide to fix something in particular I have the recipe(s) at my finger tips. I only wish it would also upload the “authors notes” to the note section in the recipe on the app as well so I didn’t have to invest the time to copy/paste them in to the app myself. Other than that, this is definitely a top 5 app.
