About this app

The best all-in-one system for pantry inventory, recipes, shopping lists and grocery price comparison!

Discover simple easy and healthy food recipes that you already have the ingredient for and within seconds create simple grocery shopping lists to buy the food ingredient you need.

Cooklist introduces an entirely new way to think about your relationship with cooking and grocery shopping. It connects to your grocery store loyalty cards and automatically downloads all of your food purchases into a digital pantry. Over 1 million cooking recipes are then matched to the groceries you have in your fridge and pantry and filtered to show you a feed of recipes you can cook with the food you already have.

Ratings and reviews

This is a decent pantry manager/ meal planning app that is relatively easy to use. Which isn't saying much because if/when I find a better one I'll switch for the reasons I'm about to list. First, frequently recipes don't import correctly and I have to edit after import. Secondly, there is no web interface, only the app and while the app is good and handy. I much prefer meal planning from my computer so not having web access is a big disadvantage.

Just started using it, and I really like it so far. I love that I can filter recipes by what I have in my pantry. A few things I'd like: let me shop at Meijer. Some way to track leftovers. When you say you cooked a recipe and it asks if you want to update your pantry, start with the ingredients from the recipe you cooked. Some way to better handle meal prep or food preservation, such as canning or freezer meals. Overall, a good app. Just could use a few more facets.

This is the best app I have found so far. The subscription fee is reasonable and definitely worth it. A widget would be super helpful, though. It needs computer integration because i use my laptop the most for finding recipes. A minimum on-hand feature would also be great! It connects automatically to some stores but needs a broader selection.
