What's New

Your recipes, your way — drag your tags into any order you like, and delete the ones you no longer need.

Reorder photos when importing or editing a recipe (the first one becomes the cover), and pinch to zoom in full-screen view to see every detail.

Handwritten recipe cards import much better, even when the handwriting is hard to read, and nutrition info from the original recipe is kept.

You can delete icons from My Icons, the getting started checklist stays in sync across your devices and can be dismissed, and we double-check before you export your recipes again within a few minutes.

Plus bug fixes and polish to keep everything running smoothly.

Pro members can include photos in the export, and a notification lets you know when it is ready.

Behind-the-scenes updates keep the app stable and running a little more smoothly.

Plus the usual round of small fixes and polish.

Printing is here — take your grocery list to the store on paper, or pin the week's meal plan to the fridge. Available to Pro members, for your own lists and your family's alike.

Recipe Notes now feels at home on iPad — the welcome flow, the share sheet you see when saving from other apps, and the cookbook switcher have all been reworked for the bigger screen.

Swipe any item in your grocery list to delete it, merged items included.

Swiping through your meal plan now moves one day at a time, and the month calendar has a cleaner look that finally fits every day of the month.
