The listed features for Crouton are excellent. Sadly few are available even under the "Plus" (additional cost) upgrade. The functionality to scan a recipe from a book, import from a website, import from the Paprika app, and scale the recipe's ingredients are all missing. There is zero documentation on how to use Crouton. Some features have placeholder buttons, but they do not work. These issues are the same in both the iOS and macOS versions. The app feels like a one-person student project, and hopefully, we will see the listed features integrated eventually. However, the app offers few advantages to simply pasting recipes to a Note, Paprika, or Evernote file in its current state. Further, expect that the existing 5-star reviews were all friends and family or were purchased and are not actual users.

I really like the design of the app. It is easy to get used to and use. I like that I can type recipes in Arabic and the formatting won’t mess up as with other apps. I love that I can organize my recipes in folders, move the recipes across folders with ease, create a weekly menu and the app will even generate a randomize menu for you. The one thing I am missing is the ability to share recipes in the app with others. It would be really nice if the app could generate an email or document of the recipe that can be sent to others.

I’ve been using this since it first shipped. It’s a good recipe app. I’ve used Paprika and loved that app too. One thing in Crouton I feel is missing is a Timer. When a recipe includes a direction to “bake for 20 minutes” it would be very nice to tap that and have a timer initiate.
