Edit to add that it it working great now and is a super-handy feature. Keeping 1 star off because of the initial hassle but now that it's working it's a great app. Scans the recipes beautifully but keypad keeps vanishing when it asks me to log in and crashing in the textbox (whatever you want to call it) so I can't log in to actually save them which has caused me a huge waste of time and frustration and making the whole thing pointless :(

Installed this and accessed it via the original Whisk app but was asked to log in again if I wanted to save a recipe. I can't log in again as the keyboard is glitchy on it so I can't put my password in. Other option was to put my phone unlock password in which seems sketchy. Please link this properly to the app so we don't have to log in everytime.

The perfect solution. I was bummed that a cookbook I bought didn't have the recipes readily available online for inport. This has saved my sanity! As stated there are a few flaws with fractions but nothing to keep me from using the app. Thank you for this!

Does everything fine except when I hit the open in whisk button it does absolutely nothing. So I basically scan a recipe just to lose it. Yay. Using pixel 4a. Update: Looks like everything is working properly now.

I am using a Lenovo tablet and when I press the button to take the picture to be scanned, nothing happens.

Same issues with log in as others. Would be good if was able to connect with other scanners that work!
