Reviews of mealime recipe collector:
Does not work. I also wish I could just manually enter recipes on the meal lime website.
Doesn't work. If it manages to see the recipe (which is only 33% of the time), when it says it saves it, I cannot find the recipe within my Mealime app.
Doesn't work 99% of the time. I would prefer to be able to just add recipes manually on my computer (rather than the phone), and this feature would be much easier to implement than the recipe collector / parser. I am truly puzzled why the recipe collector extension have been developed prior to adding a feature of manual recipes entry on the web.
This can't import anything. I even exported a recipe to a plan html file. The extension could see it, but once I click import, I would get 'an error occurred importing'.
I like the concept but most recipes can't be found by the extension
It seems like a lot of blogs and sites block recipe collectors, including this one. This caused me frustration and led me to believe this extension didn't work till I realized this. (I believe it's because they often monetize their recipes on other meal planning/collecting sites, and I think include code in the pages to reject queries like this app would make.) If it isn't working, you can get around it, in a way, by finding the recipe on another site. Search for the recipe, then pick a link that is not from the main blog/site that includes a list of ingredients. (Sites like Mastercook or Yummly show up, or even a Pinterest pin with the ingredients on it.) Often, instructions are not included on this "other" site and will link you back to the original source. If this is the case, go to the original source and copy the instructions. Go back to the "other" site and collect recipe. Paste instructions in when editing recipe.
Won't work on America's Test Kitchen or any other recipe site i've used
Trash application. Tried to import a recipe and it gives me an error when modifying it, and can only be cleared after uninstalling. Literally unusable.
Literally doesn't work. It says my recipes are stored on the app. They are not.
I love how easy it is to grab recipes from the internet and include them in my meal plans.
