I also like how easy it is to add recipes to user defined categories in MealBoard.Ěnother feature I haven’t talked about much, but like and use (and MealBoard and Menu Planner both have it, and Paprika does not) is the ability to change my meal plan really easily by moving Monday’s supper to Tuesday, and so on.How I Use MealBoard In My Life And Conclusion Of Why It's The Best Grocery List App And Best Recipe App I've Found So Far
#When will paprika recipe manager version 4 be available Pc
Paprika doesn’t have a web interface for PC users.It doesn’t let me record a price for items (a feature that wouldn’t have been important to me before, but now find indispensable).There is the fact that it doesn’t let me choose the date range for exporting a meal plan to the shopping list.So again, why don’t I use Paprika? Especially since I did already buy it, even though it was twice as expensive as MealBoard?
Ěnd I could probably list even more things, but those are the big ones.While viewing a specific recipe, you can easily record it as a favorite, add it to your meal plan, e-mail it, add it to the grocery list, or even print it-the other apps only let you e-mail the recipe.I had the most success with this feature when using the Paprika app. Menu Planner and MealBoard support this feature, too, but not with as many different websites. It makes saving recipes from many different well known recipe sites really easy.While this is a handy feature, it isn’t done as nicely as the Cook’s Illustrated app which not only allows multiple timers (Paprika is just one timer) it lets you tap on the time directly within the recipe to start it, so you don’t even have to set it! When you browse your recipes, you see a thumbnail image of the recipe which is not only visually appealing, but sometimes makes it easier to choose which recipe you want (Menu Planner does this too).Why I Didn't Like Paprika: The Good And The BadSo why is Paprika twice as expensive as the other two apps? It does the following things really well: (Both Menu Planner and Paprika require two taps-one tap to view the specific day in greater detail, and a second tap to view the specific recipe.) I can access a recipe directly from the main meal plan view with one tap. Paprika doesn’t let me chose the date range, just the standard Sunday-Saturday week.Ĭonclusion: MealBoard Was My Top PickAll in all, MealBoard met all of my requirements and it was the easiest to use. MealBoard and Menu Planner both let me set start and end dates for exporting my meal plan to my shopping lest. Another option for Paprika would be to load my recipes to a site like first, and then save them into Paprika.Ĥ.
As for Paprika, you can edit them on a computer only if you have a Mac-I don’t. You can edit BigOven recipes on-line, too, but there’s that subscription fee mentioned before. I find this feature helpful in making sure my meal plan for the week keeps me within our food budget.ģ.ěoth MealBoard and Menu Planner have a web interface that you can use to add and edit recipes. How the different apps measure up to meet my requirements:1.Ěll the apps I’ve used now let you include a photo.Ģ.ěoth MealBoard and Menu Planner have shopping lists that let you record a price. Things that I was not interested in:5.Ěny app that required a subscription to store personal recipes (such as BigOven)Ħ.Ěny app that wasn’t really easy to use Some of the things I looked for in a good app include the following:1.Ěbility to include a photo of the recipeĢ.Ěbility to create a shopping list.preferably with the ability to keep track of pricesģ.Ěbility to add and edit recipes on the computerĤ.Ěbility to set timeframe for grocery list export Other apps I’ve tried include Paprika, Menu Planner, BigOven and Cook’s Illustrated (I only mention this last one briefly in this review because of their awesome timer feature-but since you can’t add your own recipes, it really wasn’t under consideration for my purposes). Jessi says:I use an app called MealBoard for organizing my recipes, meal planning and creating my grocery list. Jessi heard I was writing a page about useful apps, and she wrote in to share what she thinks is the best grocery list app and best recipe app she's currently used, and has settled on MealBoard, at least at this time.
