I need a 'Good" app for making recipes

I had worked for some time creating a recipe that made some soup I could actually eat. Not only the written form but cooking it as I did it. Well, lost the whole thing. Was using the easiest entry, but I guess it was an "old" calculator or what have you. VERY frustrated. Anyone here that can tell me where to find a GOOD recipe creating app? I would be VERY grateful. I'm so frustrated. :s

    My frustrations with MFP diary had more to do with database issues. I'm much more comfortable with both the diary and recipe functions in Cronometer.

    Hi Sally, does it make a shopping list based on the meals you chose? Cheers

    I use ValuSoft Master Cook- You can easily add recipes, adjust servings, get nutritional and calorie info. Been using - just realized for over 20 years. Also creates impressive shopping lists...My brother in law who is a chef was so impressed with software used in his professional kitchen..

    Lots of good ideas here, I am going to try out. Not sure why/what changed on MFP but since September 2019 countless times while entering ingredients for new recipes at about the 7th item, it literally kicks me out. So has become more and more annoying. So now I have lots of new ones to try.

    Will any of them export correctly over to MFP?

    Paprika does make shopping list and can export to reminders app. You can input your own recipes or download from web. 👍

    am I blind? Does it let you know calories/serving?
