  • Amazing app, missing some features

    This is an amazing app that has made our weekly meal planning and grocery shopping simple. It looks great, works great, and best of all had a lifetime option at the time. The downside is the new discovery feature is an additional fee, there is no cuisines you can attach or sort recipes by, and struggles with importing compared to some others.

  • I wanted to like it

    Unfortunately, I have had to stop using the app and switched to a competitor because of a number of small but important issues for me. I have found that the app gets slow when having a large library and lacks some organization tools to make managing recipes easier. In addition, there are a large number of ui quirks that make use difficult as fixing them requires either switching to another section of the app and back or sometimes restarting the app altogether. I submitted these issues to the developer a few months ago, who essentially blew me off and said thanks for the feedback but he’s been too busy since winning the Apple design award and would consider fixing the issues if he has time. Since then, a number of new versions have been released, and only a single issue I reported was resolved. I also have a number of issues with recipe import. The biggest is support for sites that may be a little less known. When trying to import, I frequently have to manually import the picture, steps, and ingredients list even on sites that support the standard recipe schema. These issues make the share sheet fairly worthless for a lot of sites since you can’t copy and paste the missing data while that’s up. I have to either save the mostly blank recipe and go edit it or jump to the app and import there. The other thing I would prefer to see changed when importing pages is how the title is generated. Right now, it pulls the page title, which is often rewritten for SEO, and includes non-relevant data like the site name. I think it should use the recipe name from the page content instead. I know this isn’t perfect either, but it’s closer to correct more often than the page title. My last issue is the app says it can import recipes from Instagram. Unfortunately, I have yet to get it to work and always get back a blank recipe dialog with none of the fields filled out. Not sure if it’s just bad luck with the ones I’ve tried, but ultimately, I gave up on the feature.

  • Thoughtfully designed, brilliantly executed

    I’ve tried most of the top recipe apps out there and Crouton gets it right. The design isn’t flashy, just straightforward and usable. Features like being able to tap on ingredients in the instructions to see the amounts, in-app timers, integration with the Combustion probe are a step ahead. Every time I wish Crouton had a certain feature, I end up finding it. The wink navigation seems silly until your hands are covered in food and you need to move around the recipe. Great app, brilliant developer.

  • Thank you 🙏🏻

    This is one of the best apps I’ve purchased. I love it! However, it used to sync between all my family members and no longer does. It used to be much better for this reason.

  • EXTREMELY USEFUL

    First off I want to say it's convenient I'm able to access this off of my iPhone, iPad, or Macbook. I'm able to extract recipes from websites, youtube, etc. It's amazing. It really helps me to plan and prepare what to make for the week. It's amazing and I highly recommend it. Helps me gather new recipes. They really thought this through when they made this app. I usually don't leave reviews but this one I had to!

  • Good, but could be so much better

    I had to do a lot of editing in a recipe since the app misunderstood the scanned recipe, especially since my recipe had a separate crust section and its’ ingredients were thrown in with the main chicken pot pie ingredients.

  • A weekly must have
