Crouton is a simple meal planning and recipe storage app. Easily keep track of recipes you love by storing websites, images and notes associated with them. Use these recipes to plan your week ahead so you always know what's for dinner.
Wonderful recipe management app that I use every day, as a hobby chef!
Great points:
- Devs always try to integrate new features (live activity support very soon after the feature was released)
- Meal plan view WITH notes
- Still adding new features (sections for meals in meal plan view)
- Attention to detail features that elevate the app as a whole (clicking an amount of time in a recipe gives you the option to set a timer, clicking in ingredient in a recipe quickly gives you the amount)
- Clean interface (a pioneer in this in the recipe app community!)
- Relatively bug-free
- Tags AND folders 🙌🏻
- Ability to export recipes into visually appealing PDFs/other formats
Potential pain points (I'm biased because I use this app every day and have thoroughly explored it):
- Some things don't work as smoothly as you'd expect them to and feel like they might have been overlooked (if you try to filter by tags in any folder view the keyboard blocks half the screen in iOS, the recipe import feature is lacking at times even on the subscription plan; if you give crouton the URL for some websites it won't auto-populate any fields (including the URL), if you've already started recipe(s) you can't scale the ingredients (meaning you have to exit the recipe to scale the ingredients and your progress will be cleared))
- Quickly inputting recipes could be easier (you can right click to turn a step into a section but you can't do this for ingredients, no markdown/keyboard shortcut support to quickly create a section, no markdown support in notes)
- Nutrition information could be easier to read (it sits as a plain text list)
