Been using “Whisk” for a while but they were bought by Samsung and have been slowly going down hill. Any good iOS apps for recipes? I hear good things about Paprika but not sure if it’s worth it…

UPDATE: Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

I’ve been using Paprika for years now. It works really well and has all the features I need. It works with Apple’s family sharing, so other family members can access it, too. Highly recommend.

I second this. Paprika is especially good if you have other family members who want to share the recipe database.

It also has a not-bad grocery list feature. Again, works well if multiple family members are planning meals.

Paprika is where it’s at. The cloud sync function is phenomenal and no ongoing subscription required.

You can just have it on the desktop and iOS, it’s synced automatically via the Paprika cloud (if you want to, it’s free of charge), and you’re set.

Looking up recipes and annoyed by reading the life story of the blogger? Just browse the site in the inbuilt Paprika browser, hit the download button and everything’s there, ingredients, instructions, the lot. Don’t like the recipe? Don’t save it. Easy.

It’s a game changer for anyone seriously into collecting recipes and building their own database.

You can sort, aggregate, tag and rate your recipes to your heart’s content, and back up your database into a LOCAL backup for peace of mind.

Only Paprika ticked all the boxes I wanted in a recipe app. The non-subscription model is what convinced me and I’m soooo glad I made that leap. You won’t look back.

Paprika doesn’t have an official API, like a public one, but they do have a very simple API that you can backwards engineer if you want to integrate with it, which is nice as well.

I like Paprika enough that I bought it for both iOS and my Mac—
