Why imports failCommon questions
Before you write,
have a look here.
Most answers live in the app’s Settings and in the questions alongside.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only to import a recipe from a web page. Everything else — recipes, photos, meal plans, shopping lists, backups — works without a connection.
Where are my recipes stored?
On your device, in the app’s private SQLite database and documents folder. There is no Flavour Forge account or server holding a copy.
How do I back up my library?
Open Settings and export a backup. The app creates a ZIP file containing your recipes, photos, meal plans and shopping lists. Keep it somewhere safe, because it is the only copy outside your device.
How do I restore a backup?
Open Settings and choose the restore option, then select the ZIP backup file. Restoring replaces the app’s local data with the contents of that backup.
Why didn’t a recipe import?
Flavour Forge reads public schema.org Recipe metadata from the page. Sites behind a login, pages with no recipe metadata, or sites that build their content entirely in the browser may not work. The page is fetched directly by your device, not by a Flavour Forge server.
Can I import a recipe from a PDF or a photo?
Recipe import works from a web page URL. Recipes from PDFs, screenshots or cookbooks can be added manually, with ingredients, method and photos.
How do I delete my data?
Delete individual recipes in the app, or uninstall the app to remove its local database and photos. There is no server copy to delete. Export a backup first if you may want the data later.
Which devices and languages are supported?
Flavour Forge is built for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android, with six languages: English, German, Spanish, Serbian, Bosnian and Russian.
How do I report a bug?
Email support with the app version, your device and operating system, and the steps that led to the problem. A screenshot helps, but please leave out anything personal.
