Review summary

Users praise the app for an ad-free, clean recipe hub that’s easy to save, print, and organize, with strong URL-based extraction and a built-in grocery list. However, recurring issues include data loss/sync problems, flaky imports and editing nightmares, limited site compatibility, and concerns over the subscription model and feature gaps.

Pros

Ad-free experience with no ads.
Easy saving and organizing recipes in one place.
Print-friendly layout for easy printing.
Effective URL-based recipe extraction that removes extraneous text and shows ingredients and steps.
Built-in grocery/shopping list and ingredient tracking.

Cons

Data loss / recipes disappearing or sync issues across devices.
Import reliability and formatting problems: inconsistent formatting, long manual entry, inability to copy/paste multiple ingredients, and occasional app crashes during editing.
Limited site compatibility: some sites (e.g., Facebook/Instagram) or certain links don't import.
Subscription pricing and feature gaps: desire for unlimited saves or a one-time purchase.

2026-07-26	ne*****	This app is so helpful! You just copy and paste a URL and it declutters the recipe and just gives you the ingredients and the instructions. No scrolling for days or ads in every corner. It can even watch a video and make a recipe from the video, even if the caption doesn’t have details! So impressive and so simple. You can then save recipes, edit them if you tweak things, and can make a shopping list directly from the app. It fills a need I didn’t even know was there. Thank you!

2026-07-21	Te*****	I got so fed up wading through the deluge of ads on Pinterest to find a recipe! This app is clean, easy to use and NO ADS!😁

2026-07-18	nj*****	This app is truly a time-saver. I can add my own recipes and pictures of foods that I make. Better yet, when I look online for inspiration and find a good recipe but there is a lot of clutter with advertising or simply narratives, I can save the recipe with ‘just’ the ingredients and directions. Then when I want to remember the narrative or read comments, this app saves the website and I can refer to the original. Truly the best.

2026-06-29	Mo*****	I just went through my Firefox, Chrome and Safari inactive tabs from my phone and added the dozens upon dozens of recipes I had sitting there into Just the Recipe. Every single one worked perfectly, and most of them with pictures! Huge fan.

2026-06-27	Ak*****	Love this app - it makes following recipes off most food blogs infinitely less painful (you know when you're trying to read the recipe and the page keeps refreshing because of ads sprinkled throughout the page?) I would like to request the ability to add subcategories within the Ingredients and Process lists. Like a lot of recipes I'm looking for online that are Indian or South Pacific split the ingredients into groups for different steps of the recipe, but when I import it to the app the ingredients the subtitles don't follow. 🙏
