Which recipe app fits you?
Start with the job you use your recipe app for most often.
Paprika Recipe Manager
A fit if you want pantry tracking, reusable menus, or a recipe library across Android, Windows and Apple devices.
Crouton
Both apps save recipes from the web, scan cookbook pages, guide you through cooking with timers, and help you plan the week and build a shopping list.
Choose Spices if you often convert recipes or scale them to a pan or ingredient you already have. Crouton is a fit if you use Apple Watch or want guided weighing with a compatible scale.
Mela
A fit if you follow recipe blogs through RSS, shop from Apple Reminders, or manage your collection on Mac as well as iPhone and iPad.
