Umami - Recipe Manager

Been using for almost two years now and cannot fault Umami, it’s perfection. The app has every feature you could want with the best interface and design that allows you to easily see, manage, and browse your recipes. Adding new recipes from literally any source or medium is a breeze and makes such a difference when picking out pertinent information when referencing a blog plastered in adverts or waffle (of the non food variety). If only other apps could be built and designed so well!

Clean and effective !

If you want to consolidate your collection of recipes but don’t want to be bombarded with new, unwanted ones- this app is for you. You have option to add recipes from the web and you are in control. If you are looking for simple, beautiful, app which does what is says and let’s you easily search for ingredients or tagged recipes. And you don’t want to keep up with complexity of keeping your pantry stock updated - this app is for you. Prompt support, reasonable price. This app is the best! Thank you again for creating it, it makes me happy :)

This really is an excellent app, so easy to use and download recipes from the internet. I love it that you can create recipe books and also share access to the books with family. My husband and I use this app to determine and sort what we are cooking every week and create the weeks shopping list from it. We then simply open the recipe that we’ve chosen each day. No more ‘what are we having for dinner tonight’ conversations. I don’t know what we’d do without this now, it’s made cooking so efficient and enjoyable for us.

However, it’s very expensive in comparison to the competitors. Unfortunately, I have purchased “lifetime” licenses before and it always end up the same - the developer either abandons the app or forces existing lifetime users to get subscription to get access to the latest features. It’s just impossible to justify the £19.99 price tag.

Does what it claims to, without being bloated by ads and useless features. Very clean and functional interface which I really appreciate.

Completely free, sleek interface and so simple to use. This is a game changer.

Tried a couple of recipe keeper apps but this one was by far the simplest to use and had the cleanest design, and I love that I can export my recipes as a PDF

This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Works seamlessly and has many useful features (multiple timers, recipe scaling) but isn’t cluttered Would love if we could also import recipes from non-web sources i.e. text or markdown files

Such an easy and attractive user interface. Really good as you can tick off the ingredients as you get them ready and tap to highlight which step of the instructions you’re on so you don’t lose track. You do have to type in the recipes yourself but that means with a little effort all your recipes will be laid out the same and look great! Only thing I would suggest if an offline copy that you can email to yourself that would open in a PDF file as I fear that if the app crashes or is no longer provided I may lose all my recipes.
