What are Reddit's favorite android apps in the category food and drink?

In the US, the app only works in Boston and NYC as of now.

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/dk/app/too-good-to-go/id1060683933

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg&hl=en_US

Yeah, this has been around for a while. They have a bunch of offers (including one free burger/sandwich) which refresh every month.

Here's the download link.

Möchte bei dieser Gelegenheit Mal die App Too good to go anpreisen - Bäcker, Supermärkte etc stellen Zeiten ein, zu denen übrige Lebensmittel günstig gekauft werden können. Zum Teil sehr geil, wenn man zum Beispiel für 3,50€ bei einem Buffet im Hotel eine Box voll machen darf, ohne das Gefühl zu haben jemandem etwas wegzunehmen.

Here's the free version and here's the paid one. The paid one is the same but without ads.

Paprika Recipe Manager

It's not as polished as I'd like but it's great for collecting recipes, sorting them by ingredients, planning meals, and transferring recipes to grocery lists.

In dem Kontext sollte man mal Too Good To Go erwähnen. Bei denen bekommt man z.B. bei Basic auch solche "Restekisten" aber auch bei Restaurants und Bäckereien die Reste des Tages für den halben Preis

I am a real fan of the app "TooGoodToGo". Restaurants, bakeries and others will prepare "surprise packs" with the food they don't sell in the day and give it for 2'99€ - 5'99€. There are good and bad places, but you find really nice businesses trying to send less to trash and more to the people.

I'm in Spain, but would be surprised if this is not working in EU/USA/AUSTRALIA:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg

They also have codes you can "tell the employees". Haven't tried it that way, though.

Edit: Hijacking comment. THIS is the right link for the app.

I use Paprika for my recipes. It has a built-in browser you can load a recipe from and it will import the recipe. I've found it to be extremely accurate, even with sites that have advanced html coding or a lot of extra content. You can also sync your recipes between different phones, tablets, and a pc (pc software requires additional purchase). It's one of my favorite apps on my phone.

I found a pretty useful app who helps a lot when choosing wine bottles at the store: Vivino

you can scan the bottle labels with your camera and the app gives immediately a rating from 1 to 5 plus detailed infos and reviews about the wine. I always use that and it never failed me with bad wine ;) It has also a "shelf" option where you can scan multiple pics in sequence

> Huge fail in not creating an app that lets you order, pre-pay and pickup

Oh, you mean like....the McDonalds app? Where you can order ahead through the app, then pick it up, have them bring it out to your car, or go through drive thru to pick it up?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcdonalds.app&hl=en_US

I use Paprika. You can create your own recipes, or import from literally any site or blog out there (which may involve manually highlighting the various items of the recipe), rate them in a 5 star system, tag the difficulty level, mark recipes as a favorite, add tags for sorting, sync with other devices, add notes, email recipes, etc.

It's a paid app, but I use it almost daily and think it's definitely worth the $. The downside is that if you want a PC version, that's a separate charge and it's quite a bit more expensive than the smartphone app.

Paprika Recipe Manager (Play Store)

Is access to it on desktop/web or having a "social" component (where you see "popular recipes, etc) important for you?

Paprika and BigOven are two of the big names in this space.

I want to like Paprika as it seems to be one of the most feature rich, but the Android version of their app is not very good (and mostly forgotten about).

BigOven actually got a huge redesign for all their platforms (iOS, web, and Android) around a year ago. Looks nice. I couldn't ever get into it, but I don't honestly remember why.

Paprika App

BigOven App

I just got my first Android Wear watch about two weeks ago, so most of what I've discovered in the past two weeks is related to that in some way. Lots of the basics like AutoWear (which you're probably already using if you have a Wear watch and Tasker) are pretty great, but I'll mention My CookBook as a slightly more obscure one I've discovered. It lets you put in a URL of any recipe anywhere online and formats it into a clean and logical interface that looks great on any size device, including my ZenWatch. It will sync across your devices and let you share with others.

I should note I'm using the free trial of premium features right now, so I'm a bit unclear on what I'll lose after that. The subscription is less than $2 a month, though, so if I like it I might just stick around.

I'm pretty positive this is the app everyone is referring to: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcdonalds.app&hl=en

Just sign up in the app and you should get a list of offers right off the bat.

Personally I prefer the app RecetteTek, Pepperplate development is dead, Paprika functionality is good but the UI and design are a hot mess.

Google Docs/Google Sheets are also a good option for storage but not very convenient to use on the phone as a reference while cooking.

Yeah, it's pretty pricey, unfortunately. So all-together we paid almost $15 to be able to have it on both our phones and the kitchen iPad.

It is on Android as well though! Here's a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hindsightlabs.paprika

Is this more like what you're looking for? It allows you to input your own recipes as well as those from blogs, cookbooks, etc.

The best I've found is Recipe Keeper . It allows you to import recipes from most websites and allows you to search by ingredients. I haven't come across a website it won't auto-import the recipe from, so finding new recipes is easy!

It's free unless you want to sync your recipes across more than one device.

> Cheftap

Man, how I wish there was a good open alternative to that. I'm not going to build my recipe book in a proprietary piece of software and cloud storage - what if they decide to close down?

The import on this software isn't as good and it isn't an open piece of software, but it uses Dropbox for cloud sync. So theoretically you could use the app forever even if they discontinue it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek&hl=en

ChefTap is really great, but it being 100% proprietary and subscription based worries me.

Recettetek is almost as good and at very least support other methods of importing recipes. Eg. Dropbox, local files, etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek&hl=en

Build it into an API and have untappd integrate it. They already have so many years of content that it is impossible for anyone to compete. Scanning labels is a feature they are missing tho...

there is an existing app for wine https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vivino.web.app&hl=en

I don't like having to store cookbooks or cooking magazines. I prefer getting them from the library or a friend, finding the recipes I can use, and returning them. Or finding recipes on the internet and then adjusting the as needed.

Not to sound like an ad, but I have this app on my tablet and computer called "Recipe Keeper." Every time I see a recipe I just add it to this app and now I don't have to keep cookbooks or printouts or bookmarks on my computer. No more extra space for cookbooks. no more trying to remember which cookbook the recipe is in, or sifting through printouts, etc. It's an easily searchable database. It's wonderful!

For under $10 (a one time fee, not a subscription, no ads) it was a game changer for me. The day they take it away or start throwing in ads or monthly subscription fees I'll cry.

Try 'Too good to go' app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg you'll need to be quick to get the deals but if you favourite the participating stores around Rive, you'll get some nice stuff very cheaply

Depends on the store, but some shops and restaurants make food available on app platforms like 'Too Good To Go' (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg) which seems like a good idea to me.

If someone offered me an entire carrier bag of Pasteis de nata, I'd be all over that. Not sure my waist line would be happy though 😛

If you want to keep a copy of recipes you find online, I use an app called My Recipe Box which lets you put in a link and it pulls the recipe from the page, then stores it in the app, then you can sync it to Google drive or Dropbox so you don't lose your recipes if you change your phone.

I found these, but I can’t use them to check them out. There are still more options out there, search for “food sharing”.

Too Good To Go=> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg&hl=en_US&gl=US

FOODSHARE=> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flutterflow.foodshare&hl=en_US&gl=US

My cocktail bar, i use it to. Super simple, you can add new recipes and ingrediënts as much as you want. You can even later the base recipes with your own specs. And tracks with ways in your pantry.

Put all of the things that you have to make food with, add it into any app that can help you decide what to make, and then whichever is the same dish as your favorite number.

This is what I do to get the whole process over and done with and moving back to what's on my mind.

The app I use is all recipe dinner spinner

You can find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allrecipes.spinner.free

Imo, a app do Vivino é um bom começo: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vivino.web.app&hl=en&gl=US. Tem reviews de vinhos, diferenciadas pelos diferentes anos, e quem dá review geralmente adiciona as diferentes notas/aromas que identifica dos vinhos.

There's this app that shows you nearby restaurants that have left over food at the end of the day. This way you don't have to cook if you don't have time/energy and the food doesn't go to waste. The app is called Too Good to Go, the food ranging from $3-$8 depending on the restaurant. Once you find something you like just reserve a "surprise box" and go pick it up. Thankfully the app shows you the closest restaurants that are using the app.

Here's the link to the app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg

I just remembered that there already is this app where you can get the remains of the day for way lower prices. It's a win-win: people can eat for little money and the stores can turn otherwise trashed food into an additional revenue stream

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg

But obviously only a tiny fraction of stores participates, most just dispose it

Das ist jetzt keine direkt Antwort auf deine Frage, aber wenn du gerne noch gute Lebensmittel vor dem Mülltonnentod retten möchtest, dann schau dir doch mal Too Good To Go an:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg&hl=de&gl=US

(gibt's auch für iOS)

Die empfiehlt dir Restaurants/Bäcker/etc in deiner Umgebung, wo du dir für kleines Geld meist abends kurz vor Ladenschluss Restepäckchen abholen kannst. Mein persönlicher Tipp: Die meisten Bäcker begraben dich für 3-5€ sprichwörtlich unter einem Berg von leckeren Dingen, die vom Tag übriggeblieben sind.

> McDonald's will allow you to order in a McDonald's in the metaverse and have food delivered to you.

You can already do that.

I saw that there is another McDonald's app for some reason. The icon has a red background instead of white. This one worked fine, no need for Magisk hide either

I'm old school and prefer recipe books where possible, but I've also just started using this ap. I also use Google keep. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek

I haven't paid for it yet, the free version isn't bad at all. But I'm considering it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yummly.android

Their is an app on your phone in play store. Cost nothing just set the settings to vegan or vegaterian. Its got great recipes. Get yourself a new favorite

Im vegaterian 14 years now. I remember my 2 struggles: Firstly I didnt know what to make to eat and Secondly after I ate I would never feel full because eating plant base is lighter than meat but after about 3-6months the empty feeling goes away.

Then depending on your age and how long you ate meat, brace yourself for your detox. Your not dieing your detoxing. Symptoms ranged from oil smelly sweat, headaches, stones in stool, cravings for that particular food thats detoxing out, chills and fever symptoms. During this time help the detox along it will pass quicker then by not drinking crap, water and tea. Tea- honey and ginger no milk no sugar. Minium spice and sauce over your food to reduce additives and emulsifiers. Processed food, dont eat what you cant make out of your own kitchen.

Enjoy your journey dear. Best of luck.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tudorspan.recipekeeper

I'm certain though there are many that do this. Also I may have used the scrape to >!get around nyt cooking paywalls fyi!<

Okay, let's take a look at this great app's permissions:

• read the contents of your USB storage
• modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
• retrieve running apps
• add or remove accounts
• approximate location (network-based)
• precise location (GPS and network-based)
• take pictures and videos
• read the contents of your USB storage
• modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
• view Wi-Fi connections
• read phone status and identity
• receive data from Internet
• view network connections
• prevent device from sleeping
• read Google service configuration
• set an alarm
• use accounts on the device
• full network access
• connect and disconnect from Wi-Fi
• control vibration
• run at startup

Y'know what, I'm just gonna stick with the old ways.

I started using My Recipe Box and so far its been fantastic. What I like is that you can search the web or add the URL of a recipe you are using, and it grabs it. Once its in there, you can modify it all you want (which I tend to do).

My goto app is this one called My Cocktail Bar. If you're in a situation where you're ok with looking at a phone but don't wanna web search every cocktail by name when you need it, this is excellent.

Offline app that (IIRC) has every IBA cocktail and several popular ones besides, along with the option to not only add recipes but modify existing ones. Does ounce measurements by default but can also convert to metric ml if you'd like.

You can also add and modify ingredients, too. If you're looking to build up a cocktail-specific "scrapbook" of recipes this is the ideal solution imo.

Cookmate. Used to be called My Cookbook. It automatically imports just the shit you need from websites and saves everything. Used to function as an extension on your mobile browser, now you use the share function and share it with the app. You should sanity check what they import but in my experience they get it right 99% of the time.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.cookbook

I use an Android app called Cookmate (formerly My Cookbook). On any website that has more story than recipe, just share from your browser to the app. It strips out a description, ingredient list and steps. Then catalogs it all for you. There is room for customization of the recipes, including scaling up or down. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.cookbook

E a questo proposito consiglio l'app Too good to go per accaparrarsi cibo buono che verrebbe altrimenti buttato via da ristoranti, pasticcerie, panifici e simili.

Se qualcuno invece è di Padova vi consiglio di seguire quelli di Cucina Brigante che recuperano la frutta e verdura invenduta o non voluta dal mercato ortofrutticolo.

Ich nutze die App RecetteTek (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek) und bin ziemlich zufrieden damit.

Die meisten Rezepte suche ich auf Blogs oder Chefkoch - wenn ein Rezept gefällt, teile ich es mit der App und sie importiert die Daten (meistens passend). Man kann Rezepte bewerten, kommentieren, in Kategorien einteilen, ein eigenes Bild hinzufügen und der Ursprungslink wird automatisch mitgespeichert. Und ich hab die App auf meinem Tablet synchronisiert, welches ich bein Kochen als Kochbuch nutze.

You can also use the app ‘Too Good To Go’ (ios, android) to buy cheap food from stores, which would otherwise be thrown away. A store needs to participate for this though, so it might not be available in your area - though you can suggest it to them.

Recipe Keeper is what I've been using for a few years already. It seems similar to Paprika that it syncs to all platforms (windows/iOS/android). I believe it started on windows which is where I was at the time, and the app has developed nicely over the years.

Try the app "recipe keeper" it's genuinely the most useful app i have. You can paste a link in the app and it will automatically find the ingredients list, the description and relevant pictures.

Hands down the best recipe app out there.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tudorspan.recipekeeper

I use an app called RecetteTek. You just put in the URL and it extracts the recipe and saves it in the app. Very small ad at the bottom of the app. Or you could pay like $3 for ad free. My favorite feature that I never even considered is that it keeps your screen from turning off whole the app is open. That was always so frustrating to me was having to unlock the screen between each step

I use My Bar on Android. It's pretty good for adding your own recipes and for telling you what you can make with your existing ingredients....but its database of existing cocktails feels a little sparse compared to some other alternatives...

There's also a paid version which eliminates the ads, but I don't find them too intrusive.

There's also an app called Too Good to Go where restaurants and other places post cheap food that would otherwise get thrown out.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg

A lot depends on your location and how many local businesses are signed up for it, but it's a good way to get some cheap grub and reduce waste.

This app allows you to buy unsold food from cafes and restaurants: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.tgtg&amp;hl=en_GB

Isn't just London either. We tried it last year and some really cheap Yo Sushi from Trafford Centre. Forgot it existed until I saw your post.

Te recomiendo la app Vivino, tiene todo tipo de vinos y te los recomienda de acuerdo al precio o puntuacion. Tambien tiene comentarios de la gente que lo probo y que ingredientes tiene.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=vivino.web.app

In the UK (not sure about US) we have this app called Too Good To Go where you can buy the food that otherwise gets thrown out. I've had some amazing meals at a fraction of the price they would have normally cost me.

Okay no problem - is this a permanent move?

If so, I would recommend downloading as many m-t-t-m podcasts as possible & make notes.

Also - you can save money with Too good Too Go.

good luck pal!

I use an app called My Recipes Cookbook for this same thing. It automatically pulls the recipe off any blog/website and imports it to your phone. I forget reddit formatting for links but here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek

I heard there are apps now that'll save you from diving in the dumpster��? Like too good to go or olio.

Do you want a recipe app with built in recipes, or an app that can import website recipes?

I import website recipes and I use Recipe Keeper. Cheap time fee (for storing over 20 recipes), can import from websites, nice design.

I just peruse /r/EatCheapAndHealthy and when I find a recipe I like I import it. Or just search the web of I want a particular meal.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tudorspan.recipekeeper

Paprika Recipe Manager. Pricey, but it syncs with the desktop version, keeps track of all your pantry items and stores your recipes.

My Cookbook has it.

RecetteTek App on Android.

Lots of people mentioned Paprika which has great functionality but I personally can't stand the UI organization and design.

I prefer RecetteTek which has similar functionality and doesn't look like it was made in 2008. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek

If you use the website Allrecipes.com a lot, they have an android app that does this. It's called Dinner Spinner. You can also search for and view recipes and videos from within the app.

My Cocktail Bar will do that. You also need to enter other ingredients too. What I like is that it'll show you drinks you are one or two ingredients off from being able to make. The list of recipes isn't very long though.

AllRecipes has something like this.

I never see Cookbook Recipes: RecetteTek mentioned.

RecetteTek doesn't contain recipes. No, you share recipes that you find from the internet to RecetteTek, and it'll intelligently clip the ingredients and directions from the page and save it for you. You can easily scale the recipes up or down, chose recipes to add to your cooking calendar, and populate a grocery list with the ingredients you need to pick up.

There are many other apps that intelligently clip and save recipes. RecetteTek was the first one I used that worked in a really satisfying way for my needs and was free of charge. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek

This app has something called "Dinner Spinner". You pick the main ingredient you want to use, the type of dish you’re making (breakfast, dessert, main dish, etc) and how much time you have. They’ll dish some recipes for you.

Allrecipes Dinner Spinner

For recipes, I'm a big fan of RecetteTek 4.5/5 stars (7,011 ratings) Free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.recettetek

What does the $5 Paprika app has over this free one, I wonder?

All Recipies's App, shows up titled Dinner Spinner, list recipes and you can add the recipe ingredients to the shopping list section. You could select recipes to make and it will aggregate all the stuff. It's great if you follow the recipes they provide but I found (given the way I think) I had to have a separate list for grocery items outside of their preset ingredients.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allrecipes.spinner.free&amp;hl=en

Yeah as other have pointed out, seems like I need to adjust the recipe. guess the successes I've had must been old lemon or me measuring wrong. Think I trusted the cocktail app too much :)

My bar Good app, even if the recipe might be a little off.

Might have enough gin to make one more tomorrow after work. Live in a country with state run monopoly on liquor, so either have to drive 2 hours to nearest shop or order via mail. But I do have vodka and the local store sells gin essence, how much of a bad idea is that?

My Cocktail Bar. Has standard drink recipes and ingredients pre installed and allows you to add ingredients and new cocktails. Also allows you to let it know what you have and it will tell you what drinks you can make.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mybarapp.free&amp;hl=en

I like Paprika Recipe Manager. You can use its built-in browser to navigate to any web page with a recipe and automatically save it with one tap. In the Windows client, recipes can also be exported in HTML format with standardized recipe microdata, so you can build up a recipe library without being wedded to this one app forever. It also has a shopping list and meal planner, which are integrated with the recipe functionality and work as expected. It automatically syncs your data between devices, and they have clients for most major OSes. The only downside is there's no web interface; you have to use their app and you pay separately for each version. However, it's a one-time fee with no subscription required. To me it's been worth the price!

I'm not sure if it's the same thing but, Android has an app called &quot;My Cocktail Bar&quot; which is actually called My Bar. Last update was Nov. 30th. It's pretty basic, you just check the ingredients you have, and it will let you know what drinks you can make with what you've got. It looks like you can add ingredients if you don't see them in the list, and create/share your own drinks. I have it installed, but haven't spent too much time with it yet.

I just found the Yummly app today looking for something similar on the Google Play Store. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to do at least most of what you are asking:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yummly.android

Cool.

I guess at this point I could go ahead and share the apps I found, in case anyone else was curious:
