  • Excellent Recipe Manager

    I’m obsessed with converting recipes I find on Instagram, blogs, and even cookbooks into meal plans for the week. The cost for Plus/Discover is a fraction of the cost of competitors and it syncs smoothly to other household members and the kitchen iPad for cooking. Love it.
  • Love the app… needs updates

    I’m on my second year of paying for premium and while I truly love the app, there seem to be minimal to no improvements coming. For example, if the website has sections, it won’t read the sections. Additionally there is no way to “rate” recipes to help build a better meal plan for the week - in fact it doesn’t even de-dupe when creating a meal plan for the week. PLEASE FIX THESE BUGS and it’ll be a 5-star!
  • Perfect but a few features I’d like to request

    Please add the ability rate a recipe and it show visually as you look through recipes. I have a lot of recipes and it really helps if I can see which ones I’ve made and rated highly. Also I wish we could toggle between or have added a meal planner queue. I don’t always have recipes planned for a certain day depending on left overs or appetite. It’s nicer for me to have a Queue of recipes to reference that I’d like to try making soon or next.
  • Was excellent but need to pay monthly for smart import loses stars

    I loved this app and previously rated at five stars. It seems that overtime, they have taken some features and put it behind a monthly paywall. Specifically, smart import where you can get a PDF or text file and have it imported correctly into Crouton has now been moved behind a paywall. I already paid once, if I recall, about $20 for lifetime premium. Now it seems that this useful smart import feature is hidden behind a two dollar a month fee. I do not use this app regularly enough to warrant $24 per year for this Smart import feature. I will probably switch to a different app unfortunately
  • I LOVE THIS APP!!!

    This app is AMAZING! It’s so amazing and I love that most of the features are free and the subscription is just $1.99 a month :) please never change that, I just have one thing I’d like to suggest, I’d love if the grocery list had pre generated things you could add or when you add a recipe for it to give you the option to paste those into your grocery list instantly, AMAZING app
  • Desktop app leaves much to be desired

    - Can’t zoom recipe - no keyboard shortcuts - small windows for editing recipes just more cumbersome to use than iOS apps
  • Missing features

    to the best of my knowledge, still no way to bulk delete recipes. When importing from another app, categories / folders do not sync.
  • Paprika-killer!

    Thoroughly enjoy using this app, as I was a long time user of Paprika. My only suggestion would be to have synchronization for meal plans with Apple Calendar. I very much need that feature!
  • Really incredible app

    I love this app so so so so much, and I love the updates it has received over the years. It easily scrapes websites for recipes and saves them to your local device, and it’s gotten better with time. I have nothing but the highest praise for this app!!!
  • Day One Paprika defected to this gem…

    By Sambovermont
    Look no further, this multi OS app is the best. I used Paprika from day one. But the development team seemed to be happy no evolving, and also not taking my repeated suggestions to incorporate OCR/AI supported importing from camera. It’s a game changer. I’m at someone”s house, they have that killer recipe in a cookbook, and in less than 10 seconds, it’s perfectly imported into Crouton. And by the way, if you used to use Paprika, one can import your full data set into Crouton.
