Common Questions
How do I organize recipes?
Use collections for bigger groupings, categories for structure inside a collection, and tags for cross-cutting filters.
Can I share a collection with family or friends?
Yes. iCook supports iCloud shared collections so multiple people can work from the same recipe set.
Will my recipes sync across devices?
Yes. iCook uses iCloud to keep recipes and collections in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Does iCook support import and export?
Yes. Recipes, tags, and linked recipes can be imported and exported so you can move or back up your library.
Troubleshooting
Recipes are not syncing across devices
Make sure you are signed in to the same iCloud account on each device, that iCloud is enabled, and that the app has network access when you are online.
A shared collection is not appearing correctly
Try reopening the app after accepting the share, confirm the invitation was accepted with the intended iCloud account, and give CloudKit a moment to propagate changes.
Imported recipes or categories do not look right
Review the destination collection used during import and check whether similarly named categories or tags already existed before the import ran.
The app seems slow or stuck
Close and reopen iCook, then verify you are on the latest App Store build. If the issue persists, send the exact workflow that triggered it.
