User Reviews

Users praise Crouton for AI-assisted imports, meal planning, cross-device syncing, and offline/off-device saving with Apple Notes grocery lists. However, recurring concerns include paywalls around smart import features, occasional import inaccuracies, and lack of bulk import support, which some users feel slows migration from other apps.

Pros

AI-powered import from text, links, and photos (camera OCR) makes adding recipes fast.
Meal planning features (meal planner queue and calendar integration).
Cross-device syncing and handoff across Apple devices.
Grocery list integration with Apple Notes.
On-device storage and robust web scraping to save recipes locally.

Cons

Smart import and related features are behind a subscription/paywall.
Import quality and reliability can be inconsistent (quantities may be read wrong; steps can be collapsed).
Bulk import migration is slow or limited (can only import one recipe at a time).

Recent reviews

I have had this amazing app for over a year now. I recently started canning and preserving my food again and this app has made it so easy to keep recipes that I want to try. Whether it be regular dinners or canning/preserving recipes I have it all at my fingertips because of this app! Please note though: I do still keep hard copy books because it is still technology and there is always a chance that this will go down at some point!
