Very Good

Excellent for organizing your recipes. I just wish it had a timer and a ingredient converter, than it would be perfect!

Great but!

The best app you can have! But the only thing wahts wrong is this: Note The pantry is currently limited to pre-defined ingredients, however we are planning to make it more customizable in the future. Please ad this feature!

Recipe managment made easy

Easily add, manage, find and catagorize all your favorite recipes. Other great features include the ability to create shopping lists and even plan your meals based on the recipes you have entered. To make it even better, download the companion iOS app on your iPhone and/or iPad for free syncying across your devices.

Fantastic

Simple, powerful, and very easy to use. Love that you can download so easily from the internet food sites. Best App of its kind. Terrific support too.

Easy to Use and Understand

Paprika is a great, easy way to organize recipes on your computer. I hardly ever use cookbooks anymore, instead looking up recipes on-line. You can easily cut and paste almost any recipe you find and there is room for a photo too. You can also index your recipes easily just like in a cookbook. I put in recipes I find and then rate them once Ive tried it out so I know at a glance which Ive made before and which are to be tested. If I could ask a genie for improvements, I would ask for the ability to change size fonts, bold and color typeface, and also to be able to insert pictures into the preparation side of the screen for better instruction or just to show how it turned out in my own kitchen. Still, I really like the program a lot!

First sync was devastating - but easily resolved!

I bought this desktop version after loving the iPad version for 3 months. In those 3 months, I put a great deal of effort and time into tranfering all my digital and paper recipes to my iPad version. I would create weekly menus and grocery lists and the iPad app worked great! I finally decided to spend the 20 bucks on the desktop to make it easier to write out recipes I cannot copy and paste on some ebooks on my iPad. I created an account and when I hit the sync button on the desktop app, nothing happened. I tried again and I saw all recipes on my iPad DISAPPEAR!!! Ive emailed Hindsight Labs and Im still waiting for a response. I love this app on my iPad and have recommeded it to friends / family at nauseum, but now that Ive lost ALL my recipes, menus AND grocery list, I am NOT IMPRESSED!!!! UPDATE: The Paprika help desk emailed me back and it turns out I lost all my data because I was under 2 different account. They were able to merge the two accounts and restore all of my recipes!! I am so happy! I have now given them the 5 stars they deserve! Thanks Paprika! Now I know you and I will live happily ever after!

Just what I was looking for

This program is awesome! I was looking for something to orgazine all my recipe pinning and this is it! A little time consuming since Im copy/pasting the URLs from my pinterest account to the browser on Paprika but once the page is opened, a couple of clicks and the recipe components are saved. No typing, just highlighting which is such a time saver. And you can drag and drop a picture which is amazing. Also love how you can categorize all the recipes and print them. A little pricey but well worth it if you like everything to be in one place and look uniform as well. Cant wait to finish transefering my 300+ pins :)

Its great

I just started using this and already I can tell it will be a great app. Really great that you can clip recipes from unsupported sites and add your own recipes. Worth every cent!

Great app..

Love tha you can share and use it on your iPone and iPad too.. a bit expensive once you bought it for all platforms. But once you have them all .. its awesome..

Best in class but needs searchable grocery list

Been using Paprika on iPhone and Mac and love it. Best way to capture and share recipes and grocery lists. One thing sorely missed is a searchable grocery list. Since weve been using it for over a year, the "Bought" list is growing, and its too easy to create duplicates since there is no search feature. It takes a bit to purge old items and keep the list "clean" but a searchable grocery list would solve the need to do this. Besides this one missing feature, definitely the most indispensible app for our kitchen.

Wonderful Application!

This is a wonderful application. It is fast and works great. The design is beautiful and is easy to operate. It has all the features that I need to organize my receipes.

Perfect for our workflow for getting recipes from Mac to iPad

After using a competitors Mac and iPad app (MacGourmet), I was happy to find Paprika! This was the perfect solution for digitizing my wifes current recipe collection, and for its future growth. My wifes needs are simple: she wants to load up the app on the iPad and find her recipe there. I, therefore, am in charge in getting it there. With Paprika, I can just as easily enter the recipe on my Mac or my iPad (it is just as easy to do on either device) and cloud sync takes care of the rest. This feature alone was worth the switch for us. Not to mention, importing the database from MacGourmet was simple and complete. As an added bonus, I have found that Paprika natively imports a lot more of the recipes from Canadian magazine web sites (which is a common source for us.) We are glad we made the switch: we wished we had done it sooner!

A fine quality app - suitable for anyone.

There arent many apps or programs that get me excited - but this is the exception! I love, love, LOVE this app! My husband and I have it on our macs, iPad and iPhone. It is BRILLIANT! We can sync our receipe collection wherever we are. We can bring our collection to the grocery store, when entertaining at a friends, on vacation, or wherever we might need it. Its fantastic. I love that we can customize our own categories, make meal plans, export grocery lists… and the best part is that it is simple and intuitive. Nothing complicated. Nothing pretentious. We can clearly identify the recipes weve added, but not yet tested. And add receipes from online at the click of a button. The only possible drawback I can think of is that there isnt a way to create multiple meal plans for the same week or to have multiple grocery lists. Not a big deal for most people, I dont imagine. But as I said, my husband and I spend a lot of time working in different cities and it would be an added bonus if we could keep our meal plans separate. Not a big deal, though. I would still give this ten stars out of 5. Seriously. Amazing. I should also mention my husband and I have been using this app for over a year and we still love it. We like to cook and experiment and this is perfect for us.

Wow!!

What a wonderful app! I have it on my iphone and mac air now and it syncs perfectly between the two. I can search for recipes, make up menus for the week and add the items I need to my grocery list. I cant wait to tell my daughter, daughter-in-law, and friends about this great app. This app does what it claims to do and is very easy to use.

Perfect, but I have one suggestion

This app is the most useful Ive ever purchased. The integration to my iPad, iPhone is automatic and wonderful. I have one suggestion. I would love to be able to insert a picture that Ive taken into the Instructions area. I have several recipes where a picture like this would say a thousand words. Especially when an instruction is hard to describe. Thanks for listening and keep up the great work. This trully is an amazing app.

Hard Pressed To Find A Better App!

The reviews here by all these satisfied customers are real and they explain the details as to why. Simply put, Paprika is BY FAR, the best recipe app Ive ever owned. I cant recommend this app highly enough!

I am amazed!

I have been trying to keep all my recipes in one place and they never stay there! Until now! I just love this "scrap book" ! It has everything a person could want to save and garner recipes. It is wonderful how it keeps track of everything and even adapts itself when less or more food is needed. I can put my iPad on the counter and follow the highlighted passages and so I never get lost. I am tickled PINK with this Product!

Wow!

This app is so great, there are no words. If you are like me and you have clipped recipes a little everywhere, then this app is for you! I was able to transfer all of my recipes into this easy-to-use, well-made and incredibly intuitive app. It syncs with the iPhone app which makes it even more of a breeze. Really, job well done!

1000x better than other recipe apps

I had been using another recipe app but the development seemed to have stalled and it didnt seem like the developer used their own app as so much of the math (scaling recipes, making grocery lists, calculating nutritional information) was glitchy making many features unreliable. It was time to upgrade and someone mentioned Paprika. I am SO GLAD someone mentioned this app. Its great, everything Ive tried so far just works and importing my recipes from my other app was a breeze (I did lose the categories for the origin of the cuisine but it wasnt a feature I used much--still it would have been nice information to retain). Paprika doesnt calculate nutritional information but there is a field for the information to be entered. I also havent found a way to link related recipes in Paprika so that would be a nice feature to add. Recipe import from websites is great, even when the auto-import doesnt work, the cut-and-paste method has the minimum number of clicks (just highlight the information and tap the relevant field and it automatically cuts and pastes). Very glad I switched.

NEED PHOTO OPTION AND FACEBOOK SHARE OPTION!!

I just purchased this on my mac, ipad and iPhone to really get the most use out of it. I like it a lot ~ easy to use and is nicely organized. BUT if I am paying $20 for it (Plus $5 x 2 for my other devices) I would really love a picture option. In the DIRECTIONS, INGREDIENTS, ETC I desperately need an option to throw in some pictures! Next I think I should be able to share a recipe I have on facebook (from my mac) I can from my other devices and dont know why I cant for my laptop? Also it would be really cool to have a Health Notes area where you could write things down regarding what you should eat, portion size tips, weight loss strategies, etc. I like jotting down things like that after I do my research:) So then everything is in one place! PLEASE ADD PICTURE OPTION IMMEDIATELY:D I gave this app 3 out of 5 and think it is a little overpriced for what you can do ~ wouldnt buy it again ~ would probably use Evernote Food instead (found it after i had purchased).
