Clove: Import & Share Recipes

First off, how is something this fabulous free?! If you’re like me and you save videos of recipes from content creators but forget about them this is the perfect app for you! Easy to upload recipes from Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. The creators of this app covered all the bases to make sure planning, organizing, cooking, and rating meals is seamless and super user friendly. Planning my weekly meals has never been easier, I have a grocery list already made for me, can follow step by step directions (so I don’t get overwhelmed seeing all the directions at once) and can rate if we liked the meal or not so we remember for next time. I can share my recipes with my husband so he can have them at his fingertips too! I’m sure as I use this app more I will find more incredible aspects of it but it’s safe to say I’m obsessed.

So, I saw a lot of people saying “good luck saving more than 5 recipes..” so I said “challenge accepted.” I rapid fired my collection of recipes that I have saved on TikTok, and not only did it do 5- it did 10. I didn’t sign up for a subscription or anything. Although I’ve only had this app for about an hour, I’m impressed. It’s so easy to import, I checked all 10 recipes for accuracy and they’re all dead on. Some of the recipes were photos with text on screen so I was surprised it was able to decipher the ingredients. Honestly, I don’t even care if this starts to require a subscription- I would definitely pay for it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This app is GOATed!! It has so many great features and makes it so easy to create a recipe hub to collect recipes from all sources both digital and physical. I LOVE- being able to sort my recipes and search through my whole collection. Having saved recipes and my uploaded recipes separate is super nice! Love the social media feel of our personal pages. Creating meal plans is amazing and I love all the customization offered. I love we can import recipes from so many different sources with so many different methods. Im so happy we can put a recipe into as many different categories as we want! I find myself wanting to add the same dessert recipe to a specific holiday category but also want it in a generic dessert group and I love that we are able to do this. It’s so nice! You really killed it!! Only a few small suggestions— 1. Being able to see unsorted recipes or batch add to collections would be helpful. The sort feature doesn’t seem to be sorting most recently added recipes like it should so it’s hard to find a new one I’ve uploaded and put it into categories. 2. Being able to choose categories for a recipe when you first upload it would be nice too. 3. I like that we can follow people but I can’t find where we can go to their specific page to browse their recipes and collections. I could only find my mom’s page because she texted me her page link but there is nowhere in the app where I can see who is following me and who I am following. Hopefully that is coming in a future update. 4. I’m not sure if the capability to collaborate on meal plans is in the interface or not yet, but if it’s not that would be nice for families who meal plan together! I’d love to be able to have my hubby be able to hop on his app and pin recipes for the week he’d like us to make and be able to edit it together.
