Pros and cons of Paprika Recipe Manager app for iPhone and iPad

Paprika Recipe Manager app good for

La meilleur appli de livre de cuisine que jai utilisé. Jai maintenant un vrai workflow: je telecharge les recettes sur mon mac, et je les utilise a la cuisine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is by far the most useful cookbook app Ive ever used. I now have a true workflow where I can download/copy recipes from the web on paprika for mac, then use them from my iPod in the kitchen. For the iPad app, there is one small feature request that would make the app truly spectacular: the ability to flip between two or three recipes easily. When Im cooking a few dishes at the same time, Id love to be able to refer to each recipe without redoing my search every time.

This is the best app EVER. You can use recipes from loads of sites, the app will import them, organise the ingredients list and directions to cook, categories and you can score them to see which are the family faves. It has in built timers for cooking times, etc. and I use my iPad and iPhone in the kitchen and it is brilliant that your iPad or phone won’t switch itself off whilst the app is running, thus avoiding sticky/dirty fingers touching screens and home buttons. You can plan your meals into the app’s calendar, add ingredients to app’s hopping list where you can also add other items like household cleaning stuff etc. and therefore regrouping shopping lists into one. You can export the meal planner into iCal or BusyCal (that’s what we have at home) and you can export the shopping list into your reminders. You can add the ingredients you have in your pantry so the app offers you not to add those items you already have in the shopping list. Even though not the cheapest of apps, it is worth every penny, and I must emphasise that. Makes meal planning/shopping easy and no need to print anything as you can just read and tick off the ingredients from your shopping list (which, by the way, is organised by aisle) straight from your iPhone. But should you wish to print it, you can, and it’s beautifully done, separated by areas/aisles like produce, meat, miscellaneous, dairy, etc. It all synchs beautifully (iPad/iPhone/iMac in our case) so I can make changes when out shopping if any ingredients are not available and it is instantly updated on all devices. Yes, yes. I love it. it is totally amazing.

This is the best cooking App ever!!! Fantastic! For those about to cook..... I salute you....

Very nice app, but the German localization is awful. For example "vorwärts" should be "weiter" and "maße" should be "Mengen" or better, "Mengenangaben" (if space permits).

I was searching for an App that allows me to combine own recipes with internet-recipes, recipes from cooking magasines etc etc. Finally found it with Paprika (funny name btw) Guys, you made me happy because i got rid of several recipe sources and now i have all in one. Congrats, really well done, just perfect !!!

For me this app is indispensable. Its my recipe book and shopping list rolled into one, and makes my life in and out of the kitchen much easier. The new recipe saving feature works very well, Ive just used it on 5 quite different sites that werent previously support and use slightly random formats, and for each one Paprika perfectly got the information.

Some bad moments

Very disappointing not to be recommended at all, I just paid 3.99€ for nothing just crap interface guiding you to other websites etc... :-(

Loved the app til it crashed. All 250 recipes lost. NOT happy. Reinstalled but no recipes. Trying to use app again and continues to close unexpectedly. Wont allow me to log in to cloud to try to retrieve recipes.

As great as this app is, surely there must be a way to point out the differences in iPad only version and the iPad/iPhone combination version. Chances are I might have liked it well enough in the iPhone version on the iPad to pay for a second iPad only app but right now, I have a very bad taste in my mouth that no recipe is going to fix.

I recently purchased the app for my iPad and started using it. It works very well getting recipes from the web and adding to my database. However I cannot seem to get the app on my iPhone without paying again. Isnt there a Universal app?

Awesome app, BUT!!! You must by app for each device. So Mac version is $20 iPhone and iPad are both $5. NOT COOL! Seeing as all other apps are buy 1 version and the rest are included.

Owned and used it for years. It is excellent. Recently it would not update, so i uninstalled it hoping to reinstall it. Now it will not install. Makes no sense. iPad meets all the requirements listed. Ill change my star rating once this is fixed. Because it is a good app, when its installed!
