Recipe Gallery App Reviews

i have just recently started using Recipe Gallery and am super excited about the functionality! they've pretty much thought of everything that a home cook needs to keep track of recipes. as an avid cookbook collector, the ability to record and classify tried recipes simply by photographing the page is genius. and the search technology includes scanning the photographed page - which is awesome! the catagories and search functions work together seamlessly to help you find exactly what you're looking for no matter how many recipes you've recorded. the one minor complaint i have is that there are only two color options to personalize your gallery. as many people that utilize app technology and the internet are very visual and creative, having more color options to personalize the app i think would be greatly appreciated by the users. similarly, and this is not a complaint, just a bit of constructive feedback because i think the app's functionality is genius; with a bit of update on the logo and color scheme, and dare i say even the name, this app has the potential to appeal to the new generation of cool cooks out there - of which there are many. when researching apps i almost went right past it because it looks a bit fuddy-duddy. that said, i am so glad i didn't and will certainly be telling all of my cooking friends about it!

Granted it has taken me days to sort through and upload my hundreds of recipes but this app makes it about as easy as it can get. You can upload them from websites in several different methods by screen shooting recipes or copy and pasting texts from websites (which is awesome for my dozens of Pinterest recipes that I’ve had nothing to do with for years). Or you can just simply take a picture of your recipe cards or books! Then you can categorize them into pasta, seafood, etc making it incredibly easy to find your favorite recipes! And finally my favorite part of this app... you can get the recipes on your phone or iPad. Which comes in handy if I’m out and about at the store but realize I forgot my recipe card at home or something... don’t have to worry about that anymore! And then when I get home I can pull up my iPad to view the recipe on a larger and propped up screen. Incredibly user friendly and easy to use. And customer service is SUPER responsive. At first I didn’t think my recipes were uploading between devices so I contacted customer service and they responded within 24 hours explaining each time you upload recipes and reopen the app on a different device it sometimes takes a little while to upload the new recipes... and problem solved! :) recommending this app to all my friends and family that love cooking!!

I have been using this app for years and I have hundreds of recipes in it. I have photos of my grandmother’s hand written cards, on-line recipes with notes of my own variations, photos of cookbook pages, and my own recipes typed in. Most of them have photos. It’s easy to add a bookmark to a recipe online and import it later. I love the link to go to original recipe site, since so many people put ads in the middle of the recipe to interfere with screen grabs. I run it on my phone (for shopping) and my iPad (for cooking). I share recipes with my sister who also loves this app. I recently upgraded my phone and the app wasn’t downloading the recipes from iCloud correctly. It has been a problem for a while, and I hadn’t prioritized fixing it. But this morning I needed a recipe and decided to fix it. The support materials didn’t apply, so I used the built-in email support. It’s a Sunday, so I didn’t expect to hear anything for a few days. I was so surprised to get a step-by-step email addressing my exact problem within 3 hours. On a Sunday. Great product and great customer support.

Been looking for a good recipe app for several years. This one is gave me everything I needed plus more. I hesitated at first when I saw the price, not that $2.99 was expensive. My problem was with other apps I paid for that were buggy, incomplete and soon deleted. All of the great reviews for Recipe Gallery convinced me to give this a try. It was worth it!!! I am extremely pleased with this app! It is very easy to use and complete for my needs. You can easily take pictures of your existing recipes, crop down the size, alter the contrast as needed. It's very easy to type notes to add to the recipe or type out the entire recipe if you wish. Then to be able to go through the app to go out on line to find pictures and/or complete recipes was so easy and in my case helped me complete my recipes with pictures that I didn't have. There are a generous number of categories in the app and you can easily add new categories if desired. If I had any suggestion to give to the developers, there is only one - I haven't been able to get the categories to take my additions and alphabetize all of the old and new categories together.

I have collected recipes for a long time in pretty much every form...paper, Facebook, web sites. Every time I wanted to find a specific recipe it was a nightmare to figure out where I got it so I would have some clue how I might have stored it. With Recipe Gallery all that mess is in one place and categorized making it pretty easy to find recipes and a search feature that offers another way to locate things. I like that I can add notes as I make adjustments to the recipe. I also really like the fact that I can share across devices so my phone has everything stored too making it simple to pick up the ingredients for a recipe when I am shopping. And one last thing I have used quite often is sharing the PDF of a recipe in my gallery with others. No more writing it down every time someone asks me for a recipe...just export it to email and away it goes. There are so many apps out there that are only semi useful at best. It has been a great experience to find an app that does what it says it will do and is so useful it has become a tool I go to almost every day.

This description is just one example on how are use this app. I always burned bacon. Now I figured out how to make it without burning it and without a lot of mess. I cut each piece in half width wise. Place four of the pieces around the circumference of the pan and the other four within the first four pieces. For the first batch I set the alarm for five minutes. I cover the large frying pan with a gadget that is a circular metal screen with a wooden handle, that protects this stove from splattering. After five minutes I check and if the bacon looks a bit crispy I turn it over and cook the second batch for 2 to 3 minutes, again set on medium. I remove the bacon from the pan and place it on toweling. Then I put the next batch in carefully so I do not splatter on myself and it is now cooking in the bacon fat from the first batch. Which means it will cook faster so I cook the second batch in less time than the first. In each case I do set a timer so that I don’t get distracted. The bacon comes out perfectly. I like the consistency better than putting it in the microwave which always seems to make it feel like cardboard The bacon comes out perfectly. I like the consistency better than putting it in the microwave which always seems to make it feel like cardboard. I have this description of how to make the bacon in my Recipes so that I can have this description in how to make the bacon where ever I go.

I purchased this app in January of 2020 and have used it nearly everyday since. I began a Keto/low carb lifestyle last January and needed a place to store my new recipe collection. I am so grateful to this developer for sharing his talents! This app is so easy to set up and use. I was so tired of dealing with ads whenever I would try and look up a recipe on a blog...moving the recipes to this app is an incredible time (and frustration) saver! I set up “ideas” folders (Dessert Ideas, Side Dish Ideas, etc.) to give me a place to put recipes I want to try. Once attempted, they either make it to my regular folders with my ratings and comments, or, if terrible, they go in the “Duds” folder so that I can make sure I don’t get duped by pretty Pinterest pictures and attempt them again. (This old brain has trouble remembering things like that sometimes.) Thank you, again, for continuing to provide us this wonderful app!!!

I hate having paper recipes all over my house so I decided to organize them. I read the reviews and selected this app. I have not been disappointed. I am having so much fun adding my recipes, selecting pictures, and then knowing they are right where I can access them when I need them. I don't have anything I would change. Just wish I would have known about it sooner. One year later...still loving my Recipe Gallery but I had to add a comment about customer service. I bought a new IPad and couldn't figure out how to transfer my recipes from old IPad to new. Contacted customer service and the next day Michael Davey sent a very detailed explanation on how to do it. Even my old brain had no trouble following his clear instructions. Just had to let people know that this app has it all...a great way to keep recipes and service that is highly responsive and friendly.

I admit I have not tried every app for recipe organizing, but I have to say I LOVE this app! It has everything I wanted for keeping my recipes safe and handy. I love that I can take a photo of a written recipe—both sides—and not have to type it into the app, though I CAN type one in if I want. Once the recipe is entered, I can edit it on-screen with written notes or typed text. I can take a photo of my completed dish to include with the recipe. Or I can download and save photo and recipe from the web, or take a screen shot from an email and save that. While cooking, it gives me the option to keep my iPad on long-term, so I don’t have to keep powering it back on. It’s just fabulous—and I haven’t even used all the features! I almost never pay for apps, and I almost never write reviews, but I fall in love with this app every time I use it. Worth every penny!

This app is amazing. I had recipes in pictures, Pinterest, cookbooks, hand written, everywhere and could never remember where the recipe was when I tried to find it to make a fish again. I found this app and fell in love! The created thought of everything! It’s so easy to add recipes from all different mediums in minutes. I’ve been adding them as I make dishes and it’s changed my life. It’s also super nice to be able to share recipes right when people ask with this app. It also doesn’t go to sleep while you are in the recipe app, which I thought was a genius move! My only suggestion would be to add ‘time’ and ‘servings’ fill-ins under the title (in the app and on the pdf) section. I also wish it didn’t print quite so big, but can see how that would be helpful for most people. Other than that, I love this app.

I’ve tried several different ways to digitize my recipe cards, with limited success. I’ve used other apps plus trying some of my own but all fall short of this app. Not only is it great for adding your existing recipe cards but being able to import the recipes from the different websites is really cool. The annotation tool in the app (for adding comments to imported recipes) is very robust and covers everything you’d need to do to add some notes to the imports. You can also add your own cards to an existing recipe and type in there anything you need. The rating system, importing, and annotating features are pretty straightforward which makes them easy to learn/use. I almost never rate apps but, having just used this one extensively again getting ready for Thanksgiving, it really reminded me how versatile this thing is. TRY IT! I don’t think you could go wrong or do better.

I’ve saved hundreds of recipes in this app during the last 5 years of using it daily. I love it so much that I contacted the app creator to thank them! It is so flexible. You can save recipes by copying, from your photos, camera (great for grandma’s handwritten recipes) or screenshots. You can also type in your own recipes and add notes to recipes. I get them from Facebook, Insta, Pinterest, and searches. If an app won’t let you copy, then I take a screenshot of it! Finding recipes is easy (especially if you have hundreds like me) just search by category (you can make your own categories too; keto, sugar free, pressure cooker, spouse’s favorites, etc) or by keyword (broccoli, chocolate, Christmas.) I did not receive anything in exchange for this review- I am just grateful that it exists and want to share it with others. Happy cooking!

I decided to give this app a try, because it seemed to have all of the functions that I would want. I had some questions before I wanted to spend to buy it, so I emailed Mike, the developer. I heard back right away about my questions, and he checked in later to see how I liked it. I haven’t had a lot of time to play around with it, but so far it’s pretty amazing! I’ve kept a file of recipes in my photos on my iPad, and I’m slowly transferring them to Recipe Gallery. Super Duper easy! I’m doing a lot of canning right now, and adding my recipes as I go, simply by taking a photo and typing the name of the recipe. Then I take a photo of the food item to add to the recipe. That’s it! So, I’m really happy with this app. One addition I’d love to see would be a way to share this recipe with family and friends who have Recipe Gallery . Other than that, it’s pretty perfect.

It has been YEARS since I wrote an app review, but this one is so good I felt compelled to chime in with the others celebrating its usefulness and excellent execution. What pushed me over the edge was the ability I “discovered” to take a photo of a recipe in my 95 year old Mom’s favorite recipe books, and effortlessly upload the photo into this app, to have Mom’s cherished favorites at my fingertips whenever I want! I had already been helped and impressed by the effective and bug-free manner in which this app clips recipes from websites, so now I am just over the moon! THANK YOU to the developer for making an app that serves such a helpful purpose, does it easily and effectively, and does so in a variety of formats— in a world saturated with over-promising but under-delivering software. I appreciate your efforts and your high level of skills and integrity!

I have been using this app for years. It is so user friendly and I can honestly say that it just keeps getting better all the time. I use it 1-2 times per day (every day). My favorite part is how easy it is to add recipes .....copy a favorite recipe from my aunt in her writing, down load something from a website or just use the text function to input a new recipe. I have over 500 recipes and ready to add more. Another favorite aspect is the ability to put the recipe in more than one category (Non-dairy pasta may be tagged as vegan, vegetarian entree, pasta etc). You may add any categories that you wish. I have categories for holidays so that I may see at a glance what I traditionally make for Thanksgiving, Christmas etc Thank you Recipe Gallery for making such a fine app

I have been looking for a recipe filing system for ages. I found this app yesterday and I have had so much fun adding all the online recipes that I have photographed over the years. I started there and will add my box full of handwritten recipes when I'm done. Magazines next! You can capture recipes from websites, take pictures of your own recipes and add Google images. I made three recipes from my box tonight for dinner and have made my own pics and added the recipes to the app. I found some websites will not capture, but I just take screenshots , no problem. I always decide what I want for dinner at the office and stop at the store on the way home. I have wished so many times that I had my recipes to get ingredients, now they will all be at my fingertips!!! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I am.

I bought this thinking it would import the recipes from website but it does not. It basically has you capture the page which includes all advertising on the site. Long instruction lists must be in multiple shots interrupted by ads. I find it easier and faster to screenshot then import the photos from my camera roll. I never pay for apps and this may sound all negative but I don’t regret buying this one at all. Just want others to know what they are buying. A couple improvements I’d recommend for the developers is allow rearranging. If you upload photos in the wrong order you have to delete them and start over. I’d like to be able to rearrange categories easier. I’d also like to label cards (I.e. ingredients and directions) and add more then 1 photo to each card. Some directions are long. I’d prefer to have one scrollable card.

No more stacks of loose recipes. Ditto for cookbooks that only have a few recipes you ever use. Capture the recipe, photo, and any additional info in under a minute per recipe, then deposit the loose paper and books into the circular file. No more racking the brain at the grocery store, trying to remember all the ingredients for that family-favorite asparagus recipe when you happen to find asparagus at a killer price. All our favorite recipes are loaded onto my phone, now. I use this app daily. I haven't noticed any glitches. It would be handy to have a menu-planning function on it ( just what's planned for each day). It cannot auto-create a shopping list for you, because the recipes are captured as images, not text.

With the majority of new recipes online these days having a program like this is indispensable. You can save a bookmark but it's useless if you want to take notes on modifications. I don't import the web pages because I'm always low on space so I copy the link and put it in there. Sometimes recipe web sites go away too though so if you do go ahead and import those pages then you have those recipes forever. It's pretty straight forward to use. I love being able to do a search and get a list of recipes that include an ingredient or a keyword! So if I picked up an eggplant at a farmers market for instance I can easily get a list of all the recipes that include that. It has one annoying bug. When you do a search sometimes a category heading won't scroll off the page with the rest of the search results as you scroll down. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars

I’ve been using this app for about 5 years now, and I absolutely love it. My favorite features are its simplicity, easy upload of recipes from any type of source, and to also upload my recipe cards from yesteryear in image format so I can remember the handwriting of the giver 😊, and the ability to use my own photo with the recipe—such as a vintage photo of the giver, or an IG worthy photo of the food once I’ve made it. I also love the search and cloud features, the sharing options, and simply to have all my recipes so handy—-and use it multiple times each week. I like the rating feature too—I keep everything at a 3 unless it’s a tried and true favorite—-those get a 5! The app, however, gets a 10!

I think this app is fantastic, I use it nearly every day. The ability to put my favorite recipes in one place and to add recipes I get from friends easily and quickly is great. The ability to print out your recipe to use in the kitchen when your hands are messy along with the ability to take the ingredient list to the store with you is a great feature. I have had many people as for a copy of one of my recipes and the ability to send them a PDF complete with the picture is great. I tend to cut and paste text, putting ingredients on one page, directions on a second page and occasionally notes, hints, or nutritional info on a third page. The web copy and photo copy functions are wonderful too.

*EDIT* - I have been meaning to update this review for a while. The developer reached out right after my previous review and mentioned a possible software update issue—which it was. I have full functionality again. This is a great app. I do wish that it worked better with some of the bigger recipe sites like Bon Apetit, but I suspect the issue is more of BA throwing ads and black bars into text as a way to make this app more difficult to employ than it is the functionality of the app itself. Thanks to the developers for contacting me so quickly with troubleshooting. ******* I used to like this app. It was functional an easy to use and categorize. But now the “capture” option only screenshots a tiny portion of the recipe instead of allowing me to choose from the beginning of the page or from my selected area of the screen, as it formerly did. This is an absolute waste of time, trying to reference six or seven tiny screenshots as I cook. Now I have a collection of recipes I worked to put in this app that I have to now move over to another app because this app—unless this screenshot issue fixed soon—is utterly pointless to continue using to build my recipe collection.

I loved this app when I first started using it, but recently(over the last few months) it has been wonky about opening individual recipes. The little wheel just spins & spins. I wonder if it’s because the app isn’t compatible w/my new iPad? Or if the operating system (iOS13.6.1) no longer supports this app? Because the app still works fine on my old iPad mini. 🧐 If there is a way to update this app I would like to know how as I spent long hours adding my recipe collection into it & now I can’t access them. Help! 🙏🍒 I rec’d a response from the developers, telling me the likely reason for my trouble is I need 2 gb of unused space on my iPad for this app to work properly. And after deleting a lot of unused apps & photos I don’t care about, Recipe Gallery is working just fine again! Thanks for the tech support, guys, I really appreciate it!

I've tried them all, including Evernote which I just didn't care for. I only have an iPad Pro, no computer. I love this app, use it not only for food now but for info I find on the Internet that I'd like to save. I made a separate file for tips and now all my random articles, such as "How to add protein powder to your foods" now have a logical home. My only criticism is I have accidentally hit the cancel button instead of the save button when adding text notes to recipes. It's not intuitive to have to reach to the top left in order to save, I naturally reach up to the right, and this has deleted many a text note. That's frustrating! However, that's seriously my only complaint.

This app is fantastic! My son asked me about 9 years ago to put all of my recipes in a file and print them off. I began entering them into the computer and the computer failed. We bought another computer, and again, I began entering the recipes into a file - my husband dropped the computer and I could not get to the recipes I had added. I had given up. I tried a 3rd time and the computer we had got a virus and left it unable to use. I'm having so much fun downloading my recipes. Some of them are from my kids when they were young, and I have added a few that my grandkids have given me. This has been a great experience for me! I've told everyone I know about this app!

I have never written a review but felt like I had to in this case. I love this app and have been actively using it for several years. I enjoy and cook a lot and have over 600 recipes saved. The last iOS update caused 1/3 of my recipes to just disappear. I was backing them up so I knew they had to be somewhere. I contacted the developer and he gave me a number of options to try to recover them. He spent a lot of time helping me, even though the issue didn’t seem to stem from the app itself, and was extremely patient and thorough. I am blown away by the service level and I was able to recover my recipes. This will continue to be my go to recipe app!

Wish I had this app 40 years ago. I have folder upon folder of recipes torn from newspapers and magazines. It is rare I actually try them because I had no system for finding a particular one....they just took up space in a file drawer or on a bookcase. This app is so easy to use.... I am a technology dinosaur so if it is easy for me it should be super easy for anyone younger 50. I love that I can photograph a recipe and don't have to retype it, that I can take a photo of finished product, can add my own categories and add notes as desired. So far have not found a thing I'm not happy with. I'm busy clearing out all of those old photos. Now if someone would find me an app for keeping track of other things in my life...😁

There is a big problem with this app. You cannot bring up a list of categories to see all those recipes you have entered under that category. You have to remember the name of a particular recipe. If you want to search your cake recipes, there is no icon you can click or type in cakes recipes and get the list or entry for all the cakes you entered. I have emailed the support email and have not gotten any response. What gives people? I have entered all of my family recipes into this app along with those I come across on the Internet. It is so easy to enter them but finding them is very difficult unless you remember the exact name. Please help!

I've been looking for a better way for filing, storing, and saving recipes from the past and new ones I want to make in the future. I've been using a crate to put all the recipes that my husband has collected over the years. Too many pages to shift through! Now I take pictures of the ones he has, find a picture of the recipe online and save to my library (that is if his recipe doesn't have a picture) then put it with the recipe on this app. They are easier to read now because the fonts are much bigger. And, I can copy, edit, and save recipes making them simpler to understand and follow along from my iPad. Thank you so much for creating this app to make my life easier.

This is exactly what I've been looking for to store my recipes that are scattered all over the place! I've been able to put all my recipes from bookmarks, emails to myself, lose notes and papers, loose recipe cards, pictures, all of my cookbooks… Everything from everywhere! Everything has worked great so far and I love that when you take a picture of it you can search most of the key ingredients not just the title or what you categorized it under. Plus I have all of the recipes I added synced between my iPhone and iPad. I also love that I can add categories so I've been able to categorize my food under Paleo, gluten-free, any specialty items I want. Super user friendly, I am totally happy!

This is a fantastic app! I love the ability to copy my recipes into the app by simply taking a picture of the handwritten recipe. I also love that you can add in a text note for modifications that you make to the recipe once you've uploaded to the app. The only problem that I have with this app is when I try to upload a recipe from a website. It simply does not work. I have tried various things to make it work, but I realize now that this is just a shortcoming of the app. I am hoping that the developers can fix this because it would make the app absolutely perfect. Despite this shortcoming, it's still the best recipe organization app available.

I have used Recipe Gallery for years, and have been very happy. Recently many of the recipes I use regularly have gone missing, and I have not deleted them. I contacted the developer, who honestly, didn't help much. I use the app so much that it is difficult to create backups every time I add something new. I am going to start printing off my recipes and going back to paper copies so I have a reliable way of accessing them. I am not short on memory on my ipad, and have no way of finding these deleted recipes, or why or how they were deleted. I am not just missing my recipes, but all the notes I take along with them. I would love it if this app was more reliable, and if customer support could solve this problem.

I’m shocked at how poorly this app works—based on the other reviews I expected something much better. I can only assume they’ve paid for reviews. Uploading recipes from photos compresses the images to hell and back, so you can’t read them. Uploading a recipe “from a website” actually just screenshots the website, which, for some reason, doesn’t display properly. It, too, is rendered illegible. Uploading images or capturing websites is a tedious process—you have to upload each image or capture individually (there’s no group import function) and the app tries to crop each one, so you have to fix the crop on every image. Even if you surmount all this, the way the app DISPLAYS these images is awful. The view is cropped, and to see the whole image you have to click each thumbnail. You would be better off just storing all your recipes in a text file. Wish I hadn’t wasted my money.

I don’t understand how people are giving this app 5 stars. They must be fake reviews. This app does nothing more than Evernote or Google Keep does. First of all, the “behind the scenes” OCR doesn’t work at all. When you pull in a picture of a recipe, or a web page, all you end up with is a picture of the recipe. You can’t search it, you can’t find an ingredient in it. You even have to take multiple pictures of a website recipe to get it all. The whole “save a recipe from Safari” really does nothing but bookmark the page. When you open the bookmark in the recipe app, you still have to take multiple pictures of the website to add the recipe to the app. Which still isn’t searchable b/c the OCR doesn’t work. You can manually type in a recipe in a text editor (literally like the canned “Notes” app). The app just saves the text. The app won’t generate a shopping list, it doesn’t know how to double or half a recipe b/c it knows nothing about measurements or ingredients or anything. It’s literally just a text document. Save your money, like i said, Google Keep or Evernote does the EXACT same thing as this app for free. And actually does it better. (Don’t at me started about the black bars that appear in your image when you have to take a picture of a web page.)

I searched and searched for a simple recipe organizer since I am always searching through my photons to find my screenshot recipes. All the apps I downloaded were either too hard to navigate, too busy, only option was to manually enter recipe text or would only let you upload one picture for the recipe. This app was exactly what I was looking for!! I can upload the picture of the dish I’m looking for that I recognize from my photos, then I can upload as many pics as I need for the screenshot of ingredients and directions and I can even add my own notes. Totally worth the $3.00! Great customer service as well!!!

Capturing information from a website or blog is difficult with this app since one cannot scroll up or down for the additional text needed to complete the recipe entry once the capture mode is selected. Although there is a solution. Even users who lack confidence with their device can make collecting the recipe information they need and successfully placing it into the app easy by taking a screen shot and using one’s photo library for the information in place of the website. The other alternative is to take all of the information, including ads, from the website and place it into Recipe Gallery. That’s not for me.

We don’t generally write reviews, but this app is different. Our entire family uses this “killer app” on our iOS devices (it’s not available for the Mac). It allows us to keep all of our favorite recipes in one digital location and have them with us when we travel between homes, and to easily share them between our family clusters. We just prop up the iPad in the kitchen when cooking. The recipes are instantly shared between our iPhones and iPads. The app is very easy to use, and the app developer always responds warmly, helpfully, and quickly to any request — he provides the best customer support we’ve ever seen anywhere.

I have used Recipe Gallery for the past two years and absolutely love this app! It is easy to use and allows for different ways of adding recipes. I can download and annotate recipes, take a quick snapshot of magazine pages, or simply write out my own. All of these features make for a fantastic app, but what sets it apart from similar apps, is their excellent customer service. When a recent IOS update made it impossible to open the app, I reached out to the developer for help. I had an immediate response with very clear and easy to follow instructions to fix the issue. Thank you so much for your outstanding customer support.

I’ve been remiss for not writing a review several years ago. I absolutely LOVE this app. I use it every day for menu planning, shopping and, of course, cooking. I love having all my recipes at my fingertips when I’m at the grocery store; makes meal planning and shopping so easy! In addition, the developers have been responsive about adding new functionality and software fixing bugs. My favorite upgrade, made several years ago, allows me to print a recipe from a website and have it automatically imported into a new recipe in the app. And the resulting recipe retains the link to the original web page, so I can refer back to the author’s notes, tips, and user reviews. Brilliant! Another feature I use often is the .pdf share feature. When friends ask me to share recipes, it is so easy to do it from my phone. Thank you a thousand times to the developers. Other than social media, Recipe Gallery is my most used app. And, hands down, it is the moste useful.

So I had been rewriting my flour covered and wrinkled recipes this year to make sure I did not loose any of my Mothers or Grandmothers recipes. I chose this App because it captures pictures, web shots and links to recipes I have had to reprint or rewrite in the past. No it is not a replacement for the emotional grasp of pulling an 80 year old recipe out of a tin box, but it does protect the information and place it a push button display on all of my 3 devices. I have used every functional way to create and store recipes using this app! They work as promoted and are very functional using a cloud based storage. I am very pleased with the product and hope this stays up to date when technology advances!

I almost skipped this app. I thought I could only add ingredients and checked further to see all it had to offer. Every good thing other people said about this app was true so I will add a few more things myself. I love the note cards feature where I can add the information I want to each recipe. This app also lets you use iCloud to store your recipes very nice. You can send in email using PDF format great for Mac and window users. App not too costly. I have a few future suggestions to make this app even better. 1. Let us edit the tabs ourselves on top of each note card. 2. Let us edit our text with color choices and make individual words larger or smaller on the note cards. 3. Let text and photos be added to the same note card if this possible. 4. I noticed the word continue wasn’t always put in the correct place on the second page. 5. A future shopping list word be a wonderful addition to a truly amazing app. Thank you for this app I will spread the word.

I love this app and was able to add all (500!) of the recipes I’ve been clipping from newspapers and magazines for almost 15 years, as well as all my bookmarked ones. Being able to search on text is awesome, especially when I’m trying to find a recipe that will work with ingredients I have on hand. I have found it doesn’t work very well with hand written recipes, however. The only one it was able to parse was from someone who writes like a computer. The sharing feature is amazing too. I love being able to shoot a recipe to a friend or family member, though it would be nice to select multiple to send as well. Some suggestions for future improvements: It’d be nice to tag a recipe as tried and then fill in a rating, instead of having to give a rating to recipes I haven’t made yet. Meal planning! I’d happily pay extra to select my meals for the week and have it generate a schedule and a shopping list.

This recipe app just keeps getting better! I can now easily save a recipe from the internet, an email, or a photo sent by a friend. It even lets me save links for future investigating, and if I click the link and save the full recipe it asks if I want to get rid of the link. I usually do since I saved it to check out whether I wanted to keep it or not. Love the category system which lets me file my favs under various categories to make them super easy to find. My family and I share recipes we have liked with a click of a button. Thanks for a creative and very functional app!

I’m always flipping through magazines and tearing out recipes, only to have them go in a big, unorganized pile. This was so easy to take a picture and add the recipe!! I’ve done it with websites too! The search function works great! Just put in any ingredient and I scans the photos for the word. My only suggestion would be around categories. In Pinterest, I have albums and then sub-categories. Like an albums for Holiday, but then sub-category of appetizer, side dishes, dessert, etc. I would be helpful instead of one huge category for holiday where I have to scroll through tons of recipes.

I’ve been using the recipe gallery app for more than year now. A must have app! One time cost and easy functions to snap a picture and label it for searching. The categories are also flexible. I’ve made my own labels for games, and pictures for instructions so I have an accurate reference. When I’m searching on the web I can save the site for finding later! My Mom (retired) got this app on my suggestion and she loves it too. She keeps pictures of quilts she has made and of her grandchildren. I gave this app 4 stars because if you are like me, I ignore 5 star reviews as bought, and look at 4 star reviews instead.

I have been looking for an app that would do this for years! I love to cook and have saved literally hundreds of recipes all over the Internet...in cooking site recipe boxes, in folders on my laptop and iPad...in various programs. Finally I found Recipe Gallery. It's easy to use and does what it says. The only issue I have is how it crops and sometimes loses important sections of long recipes. Those recipes with "print" sections actually work better than trying to capture huge photo files. And I like that I don't have to put all those pics onto my camera roll. Try it, you'll love it too.

This app does just about everything. You can import photos, take photos, add web links, manually type notes, etc. very easy and smooth. The categories are basic and you can make your own as re are two ways to view your recipes in a list format or a icon format. Customer service is friendly and good. You actually interact with a real person with a personality!! Wow. Creating a recipe file online takes time so I add recipes just every time I cook a new recipe or an old favorite. So slowly step by step. Works well and has a great touch n feel user interface.

I love this. It's easy to use, very intuitive and easy to retrieve and manage the recipes. I down loaded this about a week ago on to my iPad and already have loaded over a dozen recipes for my grill and smoker. Haven't had to enter any by typing. I copy them from the internet sources on to my clipboard and the app then asks me if I want to paste these on to the recipe card. They go in perfectly formatted. Initially I had a problem with these syncing with my iPhone. I used the email support and got a reply with in 12 hours. Worked perfectly. How often does this happen? Wow. I highly recommend it.

Update from previous review. My issue with capturing was quickly addressed when I was personally contacted. This app has improved dramatically and I absolutely love it! I can create my own categories to file recipes which has been especially helpful since starting the Whole 30 diet. Highly recommend this app for keeping your recipes neatly organized and from that recipe box in your cabinet from overflowing! I've been enjoying this app until recently. Every time I go to my bookmarks and try to capture the recipe from any web page, the app closes itself. Please help!

This app is the recipe organizer I have been searching for! I looked at several options and chose Recipe Gallery. It’s priced fairly (no IAPs or subscription), regularly updated, supports iCloud, OCR support for recipes, and global search! The OCR and search work flawlessly, even with (most) handwritten recipes as well! Taking pictures of our massive recipe collection is much faster and easier than using the scanner. Mike Davey (the developer) is also very personable, quick to respond to questions, and very thorough in his responses! I asked several questions, and got several answers in full!

Enjoy high maximum transfers into more than 20 currencies while saving up to 90% over local banks! The cheap, fast way to send money abroad. Free transfer up to 500 USD!

I think this is the most amazing and environmentally friendly App. I don’t buy recipe books, but just find recipes I like and add them to this App, thus being less wasteful. I also collect recipes by taking pictures of, or searching online for, recipes when I find them in magazines when I am out and about. I also share recipes with friends which is easy to do on this App. I use the star rating system to ensure I keep track of favourite meals. I now have a great and growing collection of our favourite recipes. Making a weekly meals list is fun for the family as we search through our list. Also love the fact that the App stays open when you are using it and it is easy to scroll between ingredients and method tabs on your recipe while using it. A thoroughly brilliant App.

I was looking for an app I could collate all my favourite recipes from different books and online, all in one place digitally. And this is just what I wanted! Easy to enter recipes (photo or text), easy to use when cooking. I use it to plan meals for the week, in the supermarket when I need to check ingredients and obviously when I'm cooking. Love that it syncs easily between my phone and iPad! One suggestion for improvement: Could you add a swipe function so I could easily add or delete recipes to/from my weekly menu list. This would save me much time instead of having to edit and add to category each time I am meal planning. Thank you!

I have recommended this app to many. Love the new update where I can select where in the page I want to capture. Would love to be able to set a default here, without having to select it each and every time. Bought an online ebook of recipes and this app allowed me to open the whole book inside the app. Amazing. I did accidentally delete all recipes by trying to save space and deleted back up in settings by mistake, not realizing it would remove all content. Very sad about that, but my fault, so be careful other users.

I have bought and downloaded about 20 cookbook apps to trial and this is the best out there for me. -allows you to get recipes from the net for future access, or save as photos if you don't have the net. -allows you to take pictures of your own cookbook recipes. -easy to look at recipes. Although paprika is great for internet recipes, it lacks the ability for home cookbook photos. This app does it all.

This is an amazing app to collect all your recipes in one place. Once you've added the recipe you can categorise it and search for ingredients or simply browse. Add to your web browser and you can open the app later, check the bookmarks and add those recipes you found earlier. Type in your own recipe, or add from recipe books using the camera on your device. I love it!

I'm loving this app! Its very simple to use and it is working beautifully! Love the ability to put photos of recipes and also to type in my all time old favourites and they are easy to locate with the search. I'll now be taking photos of my old favs so that I can add them to the recipes.

Sick of writing out recipes or having a million cookbooks and never knowing which one had the recipe you were looking for, or worse, buying the cookbook and just never using it 😬 that's me. This app is just what I've been looking for, SUPER EASY to use, just take photos, customisable, syncs with my iPad for using in the kitchen whilst cooking. Love it!

I use this app every day. Each week I go through recipe books and add recipes to this app that I find simple and family friendly. Then when it comes to planning my weekly meals I just refer back to the recipes on this recipe gallery. Love this app!

This is the best recipe app I have come across. Very easy to copy and paste from many websites. I am not very tech savvy and am always asking my kids for help, but I can work it all out for myself with this app. I have taken photos of many old hand written recipes and added them.

My girlfriend and I both bought this app this morning, and now about an hour or so later we are both experts,and powering through converting all our screenshots of recipes into the app. Very easy to use. Brilliant.

Exactly what I was looking for after a few dismal failures with other ‘Cookbook’ apps (free and paid). Really like the ease of use and ability to capture recipes many ways across my mobile platforms. Capture is easy and database great to use. Fingers crossed it continues to perform.

The app description gave the impression that one can import recipes from a website but it really only allows you to take photos. So if the recipe is long or from a blog, you have to capture multiple images, crop and size them before saving each one separately - who has the time and I Can do that with my camera anyway. There are better apps that just import the link without you having to edit anything and voila recipe saved. My money wasted I’m afraid. 😟

I love love love my Recipe App. Save every recipe I have and see - written, magazines, internet. Sharing with friends is simple and quick Checking ingredients whilst shopping so convenient. One of my oldest and most used apps. 😊😊😊

Was purely looking to free my photo gallery of all the recipe screen shots but this app has given me so much more! Have told my friends and we now enjoy sharing all of our favourite recipes. Love how I can sync between devices too.

Great to find very useful app to store all those recipes I read in magazines and want to keep for later. Very easy to use to add pictures of food, ingredients and how to cook. Quick and easy.

Easy to upload pics and recipes from the internet,also from recipe books, picture cropping included in upload step. Simple no fuss clean app. Very happy!

I love this app because it is so flexible. I can used downloaded recipes or photographs copies of hand written recipes which is so special as a reminder of the people who shared their recipes with me. Easy to use.

Been using this as my only recipe book for a long time, easy, does everything it says it can do and quick. All in all a gr8 app.

So easy to use, grab recipes from everywhere! One of the best functions is being able to share recipes with friends and fam and import straight into the app!! Love it!!!

Good for consolidating all recipes into one spot..... Written recipes, web recipes, magazine recipes, or photographs of old recipe books. Can also share with others

I cannot access my recipes. They all have question marks. How can I fix this?????

This is hands-down my favourite app. So quick, easy, and intuitive to use. I finally have all my recipes in one place!

This app does it all - you can take photos, add text, create categories, get recipes from online, and more. I love it. Perfect for organizing all those magazine clippings!

Quick and easy to use. Great to share recipes from family or have on hand all your favourites from your cookbook collection. Figure out what you want to cook on the run!

Great app to use and user friendly! Definitely would recommend to family and friends.

Absolutely love this app.. like right now I'm at the hairdresser putting recipes in out of the magazines.. imagine in the old days I'd have to write them out.. love this app 😍

I don’t know whether it’s a fault with the app or if it is no longer an active app, but this app no longer opens.

Best recipe organiser I’ve come across so far and doubt very much if you can find any better. Very pleased and highly recommended

I am having a de clutter and am giving away cook books etc and just take photos and save my favourites on this app

Great app if you don’t want to write out every recipe. I just wish you could create a shopping list and a weekly or monthly menu.

This makes recipe collecting a breeze, so easy to store, share and find recipes. Highly recommended

So far I’m loving this ap. It’s great being able to create my own groups. For me eating seasonally is important. So summer, autumn winter and spring are added in.

I am not happy at all just turned on Recipe Gallery and went to look at a recipe and all but 4 recipes have disappeared !!!

Whether your entering an old family favourite recipe or coping one from a magazine, either way is so easy with this app.

What a fantastic app for Recipes. Take a photo of a recipe and place into app. Can even make specific catagory. Thoroughly recommended. Old time cook.

Really user friendly! Using it almost daily!

This ap help anyone to be able to make nutritious food

An easy to use recipe app that allows me combine all kinds of media into one place. Love it!

Love this app. Terrific for sharing recipes with others. Very intuitive with usable options.

Great place to store recipes. Easy to use and easy to display. Great value for money

So easy to add recipes from all formats. Loving it so far

So handy to have recipes on phone - at shops at home.

So easy and stable. Love it.

Best app I have used, love it.

Fantastic app for a recipe addict. Easy to use & organise to your specific needs

As a professional I like it. The best app for recipes

Great app. The best

I will admit I was a little disappointed after buying the app, when I realised that the OCR technology wasn't actually going to convert my hand written recipe to text (which was my main reason for buying this particular app). HOWEVER, I decided that I needed to give the app a fair go and within just a few short hours I am completely sold. I am even excited about the reduced clutter I am going to have in my cupboards and on my bench once I have converted all of my recipes over. Thanks for a great app xx

I have had this app on my iPad for a while, really happy with latest update, recently got new iPhone and although disappointed that I had to buy app again for phone it's fantastic. Both are synced and if while out shopping I want to check ingredients for a recipe I have all the details on hand. Plus if out and see recipe in magazines at the cafe can just add them quickly via taking a photo. Love it keep up the good work.

I got tired of having a library of cookbooks, with a selection of recipe gems hidden within them, but never being able to relocate these recipes as smoothly as I'd like when good friends or family suddenly 'popped' over. This app has been perfect in making your favourite recipes accessible within one place. Personal, simple, and clearly laid out. Cooking just became even more fun - now there's an accomplishment!

Very good

This is one of the most versatile and useful apps I have. I can use it on both my phone and ipad to download recipes, copy recipes, snap pics of recipes, write recipes and organize all my recipes in one app. Love it!

Love this app, was able to add a recipe in my Grandmothers handwriting ❤️and just as easily download from the Internet. I download, try it , annotate or discard as required. I like the ability to personalize the categories and so cross reference by ingredient for example. Feb 9, 2022 Just had a small problem the app. Emailed support and had immediate response and problem solved within 10 minutes.😍

This is my very FAVORITE app!!! I am constantly adding new recipes to it either from a magazine, a friends book or especially goggle. So easy to find your recipes back. When using the recipe you can set the phone to “stay open” so your recipe doesn’t go blank. I use it for knitting projects as well that way my pattern is close by, I can enlarge it and it doesn’t close on me. Thankyou!!!!

This app has absolutely everything you may ever need to store all your recipes. Recipes from many sources can be all stored in one place now with several backup options. The app is getting better with each update.

En francais serait super……

Great app, easy to use, you can easily capture precious handwritten recipes from your ancestors, LOVE IT and highly recommend it

Fantastic app! I use it daily and find it very easy to use. It’s made it easier for me to make and organize recipes that I wouldn’t have normally made. Love it.

Il serait intéressant de pouvoir déplacer, à l’intérieure d’une même recette, les différents icônes c.a.d. la recette, les commentaires écrits, photos du plat cuisiné etc.

By far the best recipe app in the App Store. I’d been looking for a replacement app for a long time and was using my PDF app. Recipe Gallery is user friendly and notes can be added. Thanks for such a well designed app.

My recipe is completely unreadable!! I can’t give any less than 1 star but it should be negative. Totally useless.

Now every time I open it my recipes can’t be opened. 10 years of saving recipes all gone. It’s an iCloud issue. Only save as local files

I was searching for an app to transfer my recipes from a discontinued recipe app (please don’t do this Recipe Gallery developers! It is traumatic). I found Recipe Gallery and am loving it. It is so easy to copy recipes, switch to Recipe Gallery and be prompted to import what seems to be a recipe on the clipboard! What a brilliant feature! Thank you. The other features that I love are: being able to share recipes across multiple devices, easy capture of website recipes, adding categories, being able to sort categories the spray that I want them to be sorted. Keep up the good work! Thank you.

Facile d’utilisation très bien fait

If I could give “double five stars”, I would. The first set for an excellent way to keep, find and organize recipes, and put them into easily found categories, including new categories naming them whatever you wish. It’s the best way to finally organize all those saved recipes and hints from family and friends, plus easy to add a picture of your best efforts. Then add your own hints if you’ve changed or added to the recipe. Or add recipes straight from a ‘Net search, or magazine in a doctor’s office. The second set of five stars is for the outstanding, above and beyond help from the designer. Two weeks ago,I had something go terribly wrong, either with my iPad, or my section of the Cloud. I was dreadfully concerned that all my years of saved recipes would be gone. Mike had not seen this particular problem before, as no one else had reported it. Nevertheless, he worked every day for over a week, was in constant touch with me, tried many solutions, and in the end was able to fix it, and get every one of my 800 recipes (some really good!), back from wherever they had drifted off to. So, this is a long review, but I did want to emphasize what an excellent App Recipe Gallery is, and can guarantee that should you get into any trouble, Mike will be there to assist you.

Having fun with this program. It is exactly what I was expecting.

Just purchased for primarily the OCR function, and disappointed to find that the recipe isn’t converted to text and instead a photo of the recipe is saved (and is searchable through OCR). Feel a bit misled by the suggestion of OCR. I plan to delete from my phone and use a different app instead:-(

I love, love, love this Recipe Gallery App. It works so well...easy, peasy to use, and with very little effort on your part, it organizes your recipes in many categories, all in alphabetical order. You can email or message your recipes to your friends and family, or print them and store them in a paper file. Recipes are stored on iCloud....thank god, for that! So you need not fear losing them. Go for it!

Had all of 5 minuets. Have recipes from Grams, Mom and my own already in it.

Love this app. It's easy to use, easy to add recipes and easy to share recipes

So easy to add recipes, use photos to make recipe card, screen shot, or free text! Add picture from a website or take your own

Love this app, easy to use, add recipes from any source, and keep them organized. Lots of room for customization. Customer support is absolutely fantastic! They helped me fix a major issue, even over the weekend. One suggestion for improvement: add a clipboard or bookmark feature for quick access to a small selection of recipes (like to 5-6 recipes needed for a special occasion). Get this app, you won’t regret it!!

I've been using this app for basically a year now and highly recommend it. (Why so Long before giving it a rating?) Because any app I rate has to prove itself to me before I give it a rating. This is a very useful and easy to use app. I love the different ways you can import your recipes and send them to friends. I have transferred all my favourite recipes from all my different cook books in here and backed them up. Now I have all my delicious recipes at my finger tips and room to add more. Love it and thanks for your hard work in preparing and executing a very well designed app.

This app is fantastic! Do yourself a favour and use this app to organize your recipes.

It's better than the other apps I've checked out in that I'm not interested in adding ingredients in one place and directions in another. I want to be able to import the recipe, save it, boom done. This app does that. If it supported file sharing and Dropbox, I'd be trying to figure out how to give it 10 stars!

There are more full-featured apps- but I was looking for quick, effective and free scan and upload. It performs flawlessly.

The versatility and easiness of this app to record new recipes and the iCloud's advantage to keep a permanent record of all the recipes are a few of the features which differentiates this app from most others. A continuous search to maintain a good use with iOS is most welcomed.

Well-designed and thought-out. One of the most useful apps on my iPad. I highly recommend it.

I've had this app for about a week and it is super easy to use and very intuitive. So far I have imported recipes from the web and taken pictures of handwritten recipes as well as create my own categories. The general aesthetics are so-so as far as appearance, but functionality is great and that's what matters most.

I'm a collector of newspaper, magazine recipes. This app makes it so easy to snap a photo and put in my collection where I can see them all and even try some!!

Fantastic...I loveeee it

Perfect for capturing all of my old paper recipes, as well as new ones from the web. Easy to use. Makes cooking fun!

Love this app, easy to take pictures of old recipes already collected!

Sucks! Clunky, time consuming, does not save time and is terrible to work with. Waste of money! Dont buy

I love this app. I've tried about 10 different ones that cost more money and this one is the best. A suggestion though, it would nice to have a planned recipe list in the app that you can drop the recipes into which you are planning to make for a certain occasion so you don't have to scroll through all the recipes again to find them. The other option would be to have bookmarks. That's the only knock I have with the app.

I've been using this App for some time and I'm addicted. I have input recipes into the app using the suggested modes of transfer and all have worked with no issues. I like the edit function of 'categories' and have added a few of my own. As well, the recipe script enlarges to fit iPad screen which is great during preparation. The watercolour is a wonderful and classy touch. I'm recommending this App to friends! The ease of use and the e-mail feature adds to the enjoyment of the App. Highly recommended:)

I absolutely love this app. I'm always bookmarking recipes and this app has helped me to organize them perfectly. Great price as well.

Love this app! I have taken pictures of my favourite recipes and organized them in this app effortlessly.

This is a perfect and simple way to keep hold of my favourite recipes!

I have never written a review before but I enjoy this app enough that I felt compelled to rate it. I was looking for an app that would allow me to have my recipes on my phone. I wrote a note to the developer (Mike) as I was concerned that there was no rating on this app. Mike replied within minutes and advised me to check the reviews under all versions as the current version had just been released and there were not enough reviews yet to rate. I did that and read the reviews and figured what the heck I would give it a try. So far I have used the app for about 3 days and I am glad I gave it a try. I have added about 60 recipes from various sources (web sites, notes, pictures) and all have added seamlessly. I rate it at 4 stars only because I am one that feels anything can be improved on. I would like to see the ability to save the print feature on a website directly into the app but there seems to be a few ways to get around this. Most of all I like have long my recipes with me so I can share them and validate ingredients at any time. This is a great time that we live in. I the palm of my hand I have unlimited personal data (pictures, music, notes and now recipes.) at my finger tips. Well done Mike, I hope you keep tweaking the app to make it even better.

I really like this app. I had a problem with the syncing and emailed customer service. I was told to turn on my iCloud Drive and all was well. It is super easy to use! Love it.

Easy to use.....all methods of downloading worked well.....excellent format.....$2 and change well spent!

Very good app

Love, love this app. It works just like the description promises. I use it all the time and I love that I can copy all my recipes simply by taking photos.

Easily the best app for organizing recipes that I've ever found, and I've tried more different apps than I can count. I love that I can snap a pic of a recipe from anywhere, online or not. My collection has never been bigger or more organized! Just can't say enough good things about this app!

What a great way to save recipes. Use it all the time now.

The new Capture from Safari is brilliant!

My favourite app. Does exactly what it should do every time without fail. Simple & elegant

I love this app! It works so well! Use the camera on your iPad to photograph your own recipes, or go online to integrate the recipes you use into the app. Genious!

This app was more than I was looking for. So simple yet so well thought out. The OCR feature works very well and is a great organizing help. I am telling everyone about this app. If you're a disorganized foodie, buy it, don't even stop to think!
