Does anyone know of a good recipe app, as in a place to store one's recipes?  I am currently using Evernote but find it expensive and would prefer to purchase an app.  Evernote won't let me print a recipe which I find annoying.  I am about to test recipekeeper as they allow you to try it out with 6 recipes.  One thing about recipekeeper is that their client support is excellent.  I sent them 2 different emails and got replies quickly.  What, if anything do you use?

 

I my case, I need something that will work on Samsung, I.e. Android.

I’m a devoted user of paprika, I think it’s great. I use it on my phone, two iPads and a Mac, it’s always in sync. Only downside, and it’s not their fault, is that it’s difficult to get a recipe from a kindle book into the app. That’s why I bought the desktop version

Can you elaborate on this please?  Are you saying the desk top version will operate on everything but the other won't?  Are there two versions?

Yes, happy to. 
 

there is a mobile version that works on both phones and tablets. The license at the time I bought it was 15 for lifetime. It has full functionality. Works great for browsing websites and adding them to your library. You can copy and paste from a kindle but Amazon makes it a bit of a PITA. 
 

in addition there’s a desktop version. Again, 15 bucks for life. I have a large kindle cookbook library and it occurred to me that using a desktop would make this more enjoyable so I ponied up the fifteen dollars and now I can more easily add this content 

 

for my money this was worthwhile. If you have an extensive amount of your own content that doesn’t follow the web rules of how to format a recipe I would suggest budgeting for both, but I happily used the phone version only for probably four years before I bought the desktop version
