From there, I can create an easy shopping list to use in the grocery store, marking them off as they go into the cart. With that in mind, I can input the recipes when I narrow them down onto the calendar. I include family names as categories so that when I can easily meal plan for birthdays or visits. It is rich with features and fits so comfortably into every day life. Don’t hesitate to download the app, you will not be disappointed!! Can’t wait to share it with my family and friends! It might seem like a hassle to download all your recipes, but just add a few at a time, and before you know it you have a decent catalogue to choose from and everything is centrally located. Really can’t think of anything I would add to the app. The timer is an added bonus to keep track of time when I am cooking multiple things at once. I can also download tried and true family recipes from my own recipe book. I do a lot of traveling so having my favorite recipes with me when I travel is great! Trying to figure out what to cook for dinner, no problem, just scan through the app for inspiration. I also love the ability to use it on my tablet in the kitchen and on my phone when I go to the market if I forget what ingredients I need for a particular dish. I have everything I need right at my fingertips. I have found the Paprika app to be a VERY useful tool in the kitchen. I bought both the computer and mobile apps and it’s been well worth it. (Ie, 16 tablespoons will become 1 cup but 8 tablespoons stays that way instead of becoming a half cup.) But really, all in all Paprika had changed my cooking life!! My favorite thing to do lately is find new recipes to add in. I just wish there were a “refresh “ button or something to eliminate all cross outs at once and that the serving sizes were a little more intuitive. I thought the recipe browser would just annoy me but it does the job. No more messy math scribbles all over a tattered, oily page. Being able to cross out ingredients and calculate serving sizes while viewing recipes on my iPad makes this a game changer. Finally caved because it was just untenable and I’m so glad I did. when I couldn’t find the first print out). I also always preferred paper, so I’d have disorganized binders and files bursting with recipes I had printed (and then I’d just print them again. I would try to contact the developers, but their support is a glorified FAQ.ĭespite, the rave reviews I always resisted getting this app because it’s not cloud based. Apparently, I had not, I have lost all of it, and given another $5 to the people responsible. As it is, I purchased this app in the hope that I had set up the cloud back-up. A developer that was responsible and cared about its user base, would have put a message on the old app, so their customers would have a chance to make sure they either backed up their recipes and moved to the new app, or downloaded them to have a record. I went to the app website to discover that there was a new version of the app, that the old one would stop working eventually. Imagine my horror today when I went to pull up the app, and it wouldn’t open with a message that the developer needed to update the app. Those recipes have given my family something to remember them by. Many of these recipes are from from friends and relatives who have since past away, and that are irreplaceable. I purchased the Paprika app many years ago, and since that time I have used it almost exclusively to store all of my recipes. The apps on each platform are solid, stable and the developers continue to enrich the app year after year.ĭo not buy unless you plan on spending more money each time this app is updated, and potentially losing all of your recipes if you don’t. Of the many apps we’ve purchased over the years- in any category- Paprika is the one we would gladly have paid more for. The pantry feature lets us manage the staples we always keep on hand. We have several grocery options near our home, and the ability to maintain separate lists for each store is an added bonus. We can split up as we shop, even at different stores, and as we check items off our lists all devices are synchronized almost instantly, so it’s easy to know what has been bought and what is still to go. With Paprika 3, grocery lists are on our Apple watches, so the iPhone is not necessary in the store which is awesome now that we’re all wearing masks, and Face ID is crippled. We can scale these recipes to suit our needs (Paprika does all the math), categorize them and easily plan our meals each week. We have over 6,000 recipes collected over the 6+ years we’ve use the app. It imports recipes directly from website sources. We share the responsibility of meal planning, shopping, and prep. Paprika is installed on my wife, my daughter and my iPhones & Apple Watches, a kitchen iPad and a MacBook.
