One Recipe App for iPhone and Android: Share Recipes Across a Mixed Household
The mixed-household problem
One of you has an iPhone, the other an Android phone, and the recipes live on whichever phone saved them. Several popular recipe apps make this worse: Mela, Crouton and Pestle are Apple-only, and Paprika and Recipe Keeper sell a separate licence for each platform.
What to look for
- Native apps on both iOS and Android, not a web page pretending to be one. - Sync through an account, so it doesn't depend on iCloud or Google Drive. - One price for every platform. - An easy way to send a single recipe to someone who doesn't have the app.
How CookFlic handles it
CookFlic has apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. Sign in with Apple or Google and the same library, meal plan and shopping list appear on every device you sign in on. One purchase covers all of them, and the free plan syncs too.
To pass on a single recipe, share it as a link. It opens in any browser, so a relative without the app can read it, and anyone with CookFlic can save it in one tap. You can stop sharing whenever you like.
One account or two?
CookFlic syncs per account. If you both sign in to the same account, you share one library, one meal plan and one shopping list on all your phones. If you each keep your own account, you keep separate libraries and send recipes to each other as links. Shared lists between separate accounts aren't available yet.
