  1. 5/5Was one of the original users but everything deleted and now have to pay to save anything

    Update: 5 stars and wish I could give 10! The developer (this is a one-man show!) reached out and found the issue. The fix took less than a minute, everything is restored and I’m back to cooking my favorite rrcipes! This is a fantastic app and I look forward to using it for years to come. Thanks Will! Original review: I was one of the original users when the app first became available and as such the cost was for a lifetime of use. I recommended it to many people, all of whom loved it. While it’s been awhile since I used it, but when I opened it today to find all but 1 of my nearly 100 recipes gone and the message that the “free” version only allows me to save 15 recipes! I loved this app but now find it not only useless but need to figure out where I got those missing recipes and print them as I can’t rely on this app to save them! What happened?!

  2. 5/5So quick and easy

    This is the nicest simplest app for saving recipes from all sorts of sources. I have saved recipes from Instagram from Facebook and just from an image of a recipe that I saw which I just discovered is one of the coolest things. I just save the thing that I want to make as an image and then go to upload it or share it with With Pestle. and it tells me what to copy and click next, and it creates the recipe for me and then I can use a screenshot of the picture of the food as my main image on it. I love it. The search feature in the app is so great and I can easily find the list of one of the ingredients and I find my recipe. If I could wish one thing for this app, it would be the ability to star my favorite recipes. I save quite a few recipes for the same dish and I can never remember. Which one is the one I like the best. Would be a great feature to add.

  3. 3/5Couple things . . .

    #1 — Love this app (so far) mostly because it reformats the recipe to a VERY USER FRIENDLY recipe! It doesn’t save the entire article that the recipe is attached to. No adds no silly pop up’s nothing — just the recipe! This in and of itself puts this app at the top of my list for saving recipes from the internet. #2 — The only hiccup I have come across so far is the fact that about half of the time the app cannot save a recipe. It says it can’t access the url to save it. I’m guessing as the app grows and matures it will overcome this ‘hiccup’. Thank you for creating this very useful app! When the ‘hiccup’ is fixed I intend to up my star rating to 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Update: I have downgraded my review as the initial problem with the app not being able to extract the recipe has gotten worse. At least for me. Almost 100% of the recipes I try to save will not save. It’s very frustrating. Not sure if it’s only me who is having the problem or not. Maybe I’ll use the app at a later date but for now I cannot use it at all.

  4. 5/5Best recipe app

    I’ve used a number of recipe management apps over the years, and Pestle is, hands-down, the best. Recipe import is smooth and flawless. I’ve rarely encountered a recipe it can’t import (usually those annoying ones that include the author’s life story and their insights on Legos vs. Tinker Toys). Serving conversions are simple, the walk through of steps easy and intuitive, and many other things are well thought out. Even the inclusion of timers within the app - sure, your phone or iPad has timers, but it’s easier just to use ones within Pestle. I use this app often, and it quickly ascended to my go-to app for cooking. I find the Discover feature often won’t load the URL of a presented recipe or article but that feature isn’t, in my mind, integral to the app or why I use it. I wish more apps performed their intended mission with this degree of elegance, efficiency, and effectiveness.

  5. 5/5The perfect recipe app

    I’ve tried all the popular recipe apps over the years and there’s always been one thing or another that has prevented me from sticking with it. Pestle takes care of all of them and then some. The cooking view is stellar, recipe parsing is nearly perfect, and the discovery view is extremely helpful when finding recipes. Not just this, but a huge part of it is how amazing the developer is. On more than one occasion they have responded to inquiries in less than a day, and helped resolve issues extremely quickly. If there were any improvements I could suggest, it would simply be a Mac version, as well as the ability to open and tab through more than one recipe at a time (as I’m often switching between making a side and main). But even without those, this is an amazing app.
