UPDATED FEATURE - (1) scan recipes from cookbooks and (2) shared cookbooks

I co-founded the ReciMe app and I’d love to help you organise all your recipes in one place! ReciMe is free to download from the Apple App Store.

With the lifetime subscription, you can:

  • Import unlimited recipes from online recipe blogs
  • Scan unlimited recipes from cookbooks using OCR by uploading an image / taking a photo (NEW)

To access the free lifetime subscription, follow the steps below:

  • Download ReciMe for free on the Apple app store and sign up. Note: Do not sign up to the free trial after you sign up!
  • From your profile, go to Settings by tapping on the cog wheel icon.
  • Tap ‘Upgrade to ReciMe Plus’ and ‘tap on the X’ in the top LHS corner to close the page. This will take you back to the Settings page. Repeat this process 5 times until you see ‘ReciMe Plus Activated’ pop up.

As always, I’d love your feedback so please drop any comments! The scan feature is new so we’d especially love some feedback on this. If you’re enjoying the app, it would mean so much if you could give the app a review on the app store. Happy cooking! :)

          I think that price difference is gone nowadays, if you’re looking at flagship models from Samsung versus Apple. And the crazier designed ones are more expensive than iPhones. But of course there’s all the other models underneath the flagships, which is a market that Apple barely plays in, with really only the SE, or previous year models of iPhones available in lower price tiers. Although those are still competitive depending on what you’re after. If you were buying a cheap phone for your kids or if you just wanted to simply make calls on it and nothing else then yeah definitely there’s nothing in that price range

    I jumped in the last time this app was up for free and I have loved the features of this app. I love the ability to import recipes from websites that cuts out the usual life story seen for the first 3/4 of the page on a cooking website.

    I’ll have to give the recipe book import feature a try, that might help me clean up my bookshelf a little bit.

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 14:49

      That's awesome that you're using the import tool. Definitely give the book scan feature a go and share your thoughts 👍

      life story

      Me: looking up a recipe, clicking on first link, Please, I beg you, just tell me the ingredients and method.

      RECIPE SITE: Sure!

      ME: Thank you.

      RECIPE SITE: After I explain WHY I love these ingredients-

      ME: * Whispers * No….

      RECIPE SITE: -It was a crisp, fall evening, and I, a wide-eyed college student, was studying in Rome…

        Yes! This is exactly it hahaha! ReciMe does such a good job of cutting all that out. So much quicker and easier to actually determine whether the recipe is useful to me.

        • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 24/01/2024 - 08:17

          That's awesome! If you're enjoying ReciMe, feel free to leave us a review on the app store. Thank you! :)

      • OhPee on 29/01/2024 - 09:30

        That's why i use Cookmate for Android. Copy and paste the URL and it gives you a summary, ingredients and Method tab.
        So good.

    • cv05 on 25/01/2024 - 06:05

      Recipe Filter extension in chrome is great for this.

    If I don't see "Upgrade to ReciMe Plus" in Settings (and I don't have an active paid or trial subscription), can I assume that I already have the life-time subscription?
    I may have gotten this last time it was posted but I can't remember.

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 15:32

      Yep that's right! The "Upgrade to ReciMe Plus" disappears when you've activated the life-time subscription. Hope you check it out this time round!

      • jhlook on 22/01/2024 - 18:58

        As soon as you click the x on the free trial or paid subscription it must be activating. Not sure if that’s a glitch or ? I never had to do the 5 step in and out process.

      Woohoo happy to hear you're using it weekly! Do you use the shopping list feature?

          We have that too! There's a little 'sort by' toggle on the top right hand side (under the list of recipes you've added to your grocery list). You can sort by 'aisle' or by 'recipe'. What else do you use the woolies app for?

  • Monterosso22 on 22/01/2024 - 15:09

    How long is the free lifetime subscription available? I'm at work now and can't access my apple device for another 4 hours! Don't want to miss out :(

    @homecookingaddict does the lifetime sub associate to the account I've signed in with? Just wondering how it works since it's not through an in-app purchase. Great app, thanks for sharing this!

    • hashtagbargain on 22/01/2024 - 15:39

      Yeah I’m wondering if there’s a way to keep this lifetime sub in case the app needs to be installed (phone restore/upgrade)

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 20:53
      +1

      Yes the lifetime sub is linked to the account you signed up with. You can use this account to sign into multiple devices (iPhone, iPad). It just won't come up as a 'subscription' in settings because you haven't purchased anything. No probs hope you enjoy it!

  • GJOHN on 22/01/2024 - 15:40

    Nooo! I was an idiot and setup the 7 day trial just then and realised I’d ruined the whole thing!

    Any way to fix it at all or have I lost my chance at the offer? :(

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 15:45

      Not all is lost! You can create another account using another sign up method or secondary email. Then proceed to claim :)

      • GJOHN on 22/01/2024 - 15:51

        Wow thanks so much!!

  • Isho on 22/01/2024 - 15:49

    Ha! My wife and I were just having a chat about trying to find an app like this on the weekend and boom, here it is! Thank you OP, I successfully redeemed the offer!

    Just out of curiosity, what do you guys (the devs) gain from giving out free lifetime subscriptions? Is it mainly to increase your user base?

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 20:58

      Good timing! It's a great way to save all your fav recipes, plan your weekly recipes & create shopping lists. You can also cook step by step & adjust portions. We're hoping to get feedback on our latest feature!

  • siwi666 on 22/01/2024 - 15:57

    Hey thank you. Was easy to set up, good instructions. Just wondering, I have a lot of recipes in PDF form. Seems like no way to import them?

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 21:02

      Thanks for checking us out! We don't support PDF files just yet, but will definitely look into it as we've had a few people raise this. Stay tuned :)

      • djk on 23/01/2024 - 03:00

        To import existing pdfs would make it a game changer for me

    Great app, wish you all the best, might be a new contender for joint use with my partner. I noticed my cookbooks state they are private, is it possible to perhaps share it with my partners account and then have both of us be able to add/edit recipes within the book? Otherwise I guess we could both login from the same account, which would also solve my next question about a potential joint grocery list!

    • NoDowt on 22/01/2024 - 18:44

      I’d be interested in shared/linked recipes between accounts also.

      • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 21:12

        You can do that now. It's a little bit hidden though. To add your imported/website recipes into a cookbook, on the recipe page, tap the meatball menu (3 dots) in the top right hand side and 'Add to cookbooks'. You can then share these cookbooks to another ReciMe user. Just tap the 'share' icon located in the top right hand side of your cookbook.

        • masuta on 27/01/2024 - 14:00

          When I click the link it opens a webpage and asks me to download the app when the app is already installed. Any suggestions on how to get cookbook sharing to work for me?

      Thanks so much 🙌 Love the ideas!

      You can actually share cookbooks (it's NEW! Will update the post). In your cookbook, tap the share icon on the top right hand side and select an option to share to another ReciMe user. Any party can add recipes to the cookbook.

      More collaborative features like grocery lists & meal plans are coming too woohoo!

  • Buyer0fBargains on 22/01/2024 - 15:59

    Your "Report" feature needs a little work. We need to be able to advise you of why it's being reported. i.e. If a recipe is tagged "gluten free" or "vegan" but it isn't. Or maybe another way to provide feedback the recipe is incorrectly tagged.

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 21:16

      This is really helpful, thank you! We can definitely fix our report feature to gather more information. Will put this into our backlog of features to develop!

      • Buyer0fBargains on 23/01/2024 - 07:18

        Awesome. Overall it looks like it has lots of potential, but I’d definitely like to see more special diet recipes in there for new ideas. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, etc

    Thanks OP!

    Shared it with my wife and MIL, both seem excited and are the target demographic ( magazines, blogs, cookbooks all over the place, there are recipes everywhere ) some first look feedback:

    They often use their iPads in landscape mode, especially when cooking. Is there are landscape mode? Or support?

    Can not share from Apple News app on IOS and import… can you enable that?

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 22/01/2024 - 21:24

      Thanks for sharing ReciMe to your family!

      1. Unfortunately landscape mode is not available for iPad. We'll add this as a feature request though and look to develop it.
      2. We don't currently support imports from Apple News app. Could you please share an example of a recipe from the app?
  • krbtgt on 22/01/2024 - 16:23

    Anyone used any other recipe apps to compare? I’ve used paprika and crouton before settling on Mela as it doesn’t collect or link your data, has a simple UI and allows export of your data (which crouton did not)

      Paprika is awesome! They have a couple more features like meal plans, pantry management and menus. We're releasing meal plans soon and continuously improving the accuracy of our importing tool. We have a more modern interface and have a social aspect to it like following friends and getting inspiration from community. Another popular feature is finding recipes by ingredients you have in your fridge / pantry too!

  • Wickz on 22/01/2024 - 17:00

    Was just thinking on the weekend that I needed to start a personal recipe book!

    Just some feedback for you - I’ve been entering in personal recipes, and whenever I edit them, and get to the last page and click save changes, the app crashes.

    When I reload the app the changes have saved, but just letting you know it’s consistently done it on the last
    four recipes, I edited.

    Some feedback:

    • I tried to add a recipe from SBS Food and seems like it didn’t parse correctly. I understand that not all websites would be fully supported, so please put this in your backlog for whenever you have time!
    • Can I have a way to make my posts private by default rather than public?

    Keep up the great work!

    • Associatedhomecookingaddict @ ReciMe on 23/01/2024 - 07:58

      Thank you so much!

      SBS has some awesome recipes. We'll add their website to the list.

      As for posts to be private, there is no way to apply this to all of your posts. All 'imported' recipes are private by default, but for recipes you upload from scratch, there is an option to make the post 'private' in the recipe editor. Will add this as a feedback suggestion though, thanks!
