This recipe app is top notch. I was a long time BigOven user but have switched over to Pestle. The UI and functions are much more modern. And the app is easier to use. And when there were questions or potential issues, the Pestle developer was VERY responsive and helped me almost immedietly. Highly recomended for all your recipes.

Edit: ok, pestle didn’t show up in share menu in safari, but, I copied the link from Safari, went back to pestle app and clicked on + and added from link. After that I clicked on share and share link in pestle, went to more and it showed there. Simple edit, + next to pestle and done. Now it shows in Safari as well and it works great. Original: I downloaded this app, searched for recipe I wished to save and in Safari when I click on share, pestle is not listed there or under more. I have no idea how can you import recipe. Disappointing.

I actually got started with this app from the very beginning because a friend recommended it. It works so well and the upgrade are always in the works. It’s nice to be able to scale things from serving sizes. Truly the best recipe app on the App Store.

It always drove me nuts when I had to scroll through an absurd amount of writing and REALLY silly questions just to get to a recipe. Yes, you can freeze the meals that are under a heading of “freezer meals!” Yes, you need to put your stuffed shells in the refrigerator. I mean seriously, who’s asking these questions?! Anyway, since I’ve been using the Pestle app, my joy at using the Internet for finding recipes has increased dramatically. I still get all the emails with recipes, but as soon as I click on the link I open it up in Pestle immediately to see the actual recipe. And there are all kinds of amazingly handy things the app has to offer otherwise. You can tap a microphone and just say “yes” and the recipe moves to the next step. Seriously, this app is AMAZING!!

When I’m looking for something to cook, I don’t really care if your grandmother’s best friend first made this recipe for you when you were a kid. What I care about is what are the ingredients and how do I cook this meal? Unfortunately, most recipe websites don’t do this. Pestel solves a problem I’ve been looking to solve, how do I easily work from an Internet recipe without having to print it out. That’s the problem. I was looking to solve until I found this app. I didn’t know there was something that so easily import, tracks, and categorizes recipes. Not my wife and I are both on this app so we can add recipes from our own devices, and we use an old iPad in the kitchen to cook from. My only feature recommendation is to integrate with MyFitnessPal, so I can easily add the things I cook as meals in the MyFitnessPal app.

I never leave App Store reviews but this app is too good to not sing it’s praises. I tried several different recipe apps and this one was by far most thoughtful and user friendly. From the inapp timer, sensible UI, the tap reminder of measurements, ability to create shopping lists. There’s just so much this app can do that I never even knew I needed. This app has me excited to meal plan.

Thanks so much for this app. It really makes cooking and deciding what to make so much easier. Lifesaver! Best recipe saver app ever.

This app is amazing. Don’t stop and think about it just go get this app it will change how you save your recipes forever.

As someone with French heritage trust me I’ve tried every single recipe app, this is one of the best. That said it has a few small problems that bug me. When adding a recipe it’s needlessly obtrusive to add category information which is vital when you’re someone with countless recipes. You have to click edit, you have to drag the recipe all the way to the bottom, then you have to click category (meat, dessert, etc.) then you have to click cuisine (French, Japanese, etc.) then finally you can save. It’s not a deal breaker by any means, it’s just annoying

It’s so reliable for recipe storing. I never think twice on what to cook with this app on my folder now. Love it so much.
