Really
Links don’t work when pasted from instagram which is as far as I can tell the only reliable way to get recipes.
Recipes won’t download anymore and no support!
There is no one to help if something goes wrong and help links don’t address issue.
Useless!!!
This is a glorified notetaking app. Literally just either create a category on your notes app or get another app. This is the lamest app ever!!!!
Cannot Contact Tech Support
I have an issue with recipes not transferring from the Paprika 3 iPhone app to the Paprika 3 iPad app, iOS 26.4.1 version for both devices. I submitted two requests and received a message that my request was not submitted and to resubmit it. I did and received the same message, again, that I needed to resubmit my request. I would greatly appreciate someone reaching out to offer some help to resolve this issue. Thank You Very Much
Recipes no longer import properly
Long time user/fan of Paprika, but… In the last 2-3 months all of my recipes that I import from websites look weird and don’t convert into grocery lists properly. Can this glitch be fixed?
LOST MY RECIPES
Super sad. I have used previous version for YEARS. I upgraded by previously paying for V 3 on my iPad. When I was unable to transfer my recipes from previous version, I also purchased V3 for my computer. I have written to the support team twice with no response. All of my recipes are lost unless someone can please respond!
Waste of money
Download option never works I always have to add everything manually
Terrible app
This app does not do what it says you cannot save recipes from social media apps!! Would love to get my money back!!
No way to add ingredients
I downloaded the app and added my first recipe. When I tried to add ingredients it showed none were available. I went to the pantry and add some items. Still was not able to add any ingredients to the recipe. I read the user guide and there is no mention of how to actually add ingredients to a recipe. The app is completely broken
Disaster
Importing recipes from Instagram impossible. Went round and round in circles. Wasted $4.99 and pulled out my hair for over an hour 🤬 Had to give one star to upload review but this is a zero star app.
Disappointed
Really liked the app until I went to import a recipe from Instagram and can’t. Surprised they don’t support that feature. Recipe keeper does.
Good app, but…
I’ve used Paprika since it first launched, but I’ve moved on until they fix the broken printing in the iOS app. Text is clipped off the right side, and though many users have pointed it out, they haven’t fixed it in many months.
Meh, better free options
After using Paprika for a while I decided just to switch to my Notes app. Biggest reason why: it syncs to web for free. I can access it from any device. Paprika makes you pay another $30 if you want the computer version. Yeah Notes doesn’t have a lot of the features Paprika does but I don’t need all those extra features. The automatic scan would be the main thing I miss but that doesn’t even work great and now with LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini I can pull things more accurately and consistently myself. The UI is also a bit outdated and not pleasant to look at.
Recipes are not downloading
I absolutely love this app however recently my recipes are not downloading. Very frustrating.
Time to change
I’ve used paprika for years and it’s been great. Unfortunately it might be time to move on. Paprika can’t save recipes from TikTok or IG. Is very cumbersome to get them imported into Paprika. I hope they decide to continue developing the software
