Being fair to Paprika
A useful option across platforms
Paprika supports Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Its cloud sync is included; buying the app for a new platform is different from buying it again for every device.

Common questions
Frequently asked.
2 answers to the things people ask us most. Tap any question to expand.
Do I need to buy Paprika for every device?
Paprika sells its platform versions separately. Buying the iOS version does not include the Mac version, but this is not a separate purchase for every device using the same supported store account. Check Paprika’s purchase guidance for your setup.
Can I move a Paprika collection into Foodie?
Do not assume that a Paprika export file can be imported directly. You can save individual original recipe links or supply recipe text to Foodie. Keep a backup and check the supported import options before moving a collection.
