Meal planning app?-

Paprika - I use it all the time.

Downloading recipes:
Find a recipe you want to keep.
click the browser’s Share button
Select Paprika
Done!
or you can enter a recipe manually; good for family Favorites that aren’t online.

Using recipes:
You can scale them up or down (eg, recipe calls for 2lb beef, but you only have 1lb, scale it to half).
You can add your own notes to each one.
Add your own photos if you want to.

Use Timers:
Set up multiple timers as you’re cooking.

Categories:
You choose how to categorise the recipes, however makes sense to you. 
eg I have Mains: Chicken, Mains: Beef etc, and within each of those I have ‘Up to 30 minutes’, 30-60 minutes, 60+ minutes so that I can easily find the recipes suitable for the amount of time available to prepare them.

Pantry:
Keep a record of what’s in your pantry and mark as Used as you go.  Or decrease the quantity (eg when you use 2 eggs and have 10 left).  You can also keep track of when you bought something and/or its expiry date.

Meal Planner:
Start from the planner’s calendar view, and add recipes to the selected day;  or start with the recipe and add it to whichever day suits.  No minimum or maximum number of recipes you can add.  Categorise within each day for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper etc.  You can also add notes as required, not just recipes.

Grocery List:
From a selected recipe, or a Meal Plan, or a Menu, create your grocery list.  It will look at your Pantry list if you use it, and will show which items on the list are already in your pantry.  Also add items marked Out Of Stock, or Expired from you Pantry lists to your Grocery List.

Menu:
Create menus as required.  I have menus for Week 1 through Week 8, with each menu having our lunch and dinner recipes entered, then I cycle through them, adding the Menu to the Meal Planner each week, and creating my Grocery List.  I do swap recipes as I wan5 to, it’s not set in stone, but just makes it easy if I’m in a rush.
Or you could create Christmas Dinner menu, Thanksgiving etc.  Or however it suits you.

Add your own photos if you want to.

Use any or all of the features as you want to, and just ignore the ones you don’t want.

I have Paprika on my phone and ipad, and sync them so I always have my grocery list (for example) with me.

Can you tell I love Paprika?  I’ve used it for several years now.

you’re a great salesperson!

Paprika is brilliant. I have it on my phone, my tablet and my lap top. There are different prices for each device, iirc, and I’ve had it on all 3 for about 8 years.

Question about Paprika: does it just link back to the original recipe web page or does it actually import it? I’ve been having some issues with my older saved recipe links no longer working because the original webpage has been removed.

thanks! I’ll give this app a try.

It actually does both - yes, as gillyp says, it does completely import the recipe and you can therefore edit it as you want (maybe to add or remove ingredients to suit yourself, or to add notes etc), but it also includes a link to the original webpage.  That’s really useful if the original has step-by-step pictures or a video - if there’s a helpful video on the original site then I will put a note on the recipe to remind myself to watch it.

Another helpful thing I forgot in my original post, is that you can assign a recipe to multiple categories - so I might categorise one recipe as Sides, Air Fryer, and Dinner Party, for example.

I thought you had to pay for Paprika, which is why I never bothered to get it.

I just downloaded a free app called Copy Me That on Wednesday, so I haven't had time to really play around in it yet. I'm not sure how it works on Android, but on my iPhone, I click on the Share button when I've opened the recipe, then click on the app button, and it saves the recipe. It gives you the option of what you want to bring in - photo, nutrition info etc. 

Looking at the app now, you can also create a meal plan, create a shopping list, create collections, share a link to the original recipe.

KiwiJo Paprika sounds amazing!! I just had a look in the App Store, and there is one called Paprika Recipe Manager 3. Would that be the one? There is another app called Paprika, but that is a finance app. The recipe manager one says it's AUD$7.99. Would that be a once off?

Thanks KiwiJo . I'm going to download it now. 

I didn’t even know I needed this app and now I do! I searched the App Store and it is 4.99usd. Is that a one time cost or is there a monthly/yearly fee to subscribe?
Thanks!!

It's a one time cost per type of device.  For example it's transferred to two new phones without my having to buy it again.  It usually goes on sale, 50% off I think, around Black Friday if you are willing to wait.

Another vote for Paprika. I’ve got my 2 college kids using it as well. It’s great because we can easily share recipes with each other through the app & a text.
