How do I connect IngrediList to Apple Reminders?

When you first add a shopping list, IngrediList will request permission to access Reminders. Tap "Allow" when prompted. You can then select which Reminders list to use or create a new one.

If you accidentally denied access, you can enable it by:

• 1. Opening iOS Settings
• 2. Scrolling to IngrediList
• 3. Tapping Reminders
• 4. Selecting Allow Access

Why are adverts showing in the app?

IngrediList is free to use with optional adverts that help support development. If you'd prefer an ad-free experience, you can upgrade to IngrediList Pro via a one-time in-app purchase.

To upgrade:

• 1. Open IngrediList
• 2. Tap the Settings icon
• 3. Select Upgrade to Pro
• 4. Complete the purchase through the App Store

How do I restore my IngrediList Pro purchase?

If you purchased IngrediList Pro and it's not showing as active (e.g., after reinstalling the app or switching devices), you can restore your purchase:

• 1. Open IngrediList
• 2. Go to Settings
• 3. Tap Restore Purchases
• 4. Sign in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase

Your purchase is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on any device where you're signed in.

Is my data stored online or in the cloud?

No. IngrediList processes everything on your device using Apple's on-device AI. We do not upload recipes, scanned text, or shopping lists to any external servers.

The only data that syncs to the cloud is what you choose to add to Apple Reminders, which is stored in your personal iCloud account and protected by Apple's security.

For more details, see our Privacy Policy.

The app isn't recognising ingredients correctly. What should I do?

IngrediList uses advanced OCR and AI, but accuracy depends on image quality. For best results:

• ✓ Ensure good lighting when scanning
• ✓ Hold your phone steady and avoid blur
• ✓ Position the recipe flat and within the frame
• ✓ Avoid shadows or glare on the page

You can also manually edit the list before sending it to Reminders if any ingredients are missed or misread.

Can I use IngrediList offline?

Yes! IngrediList works completely offline. Since all AI processing happens on your device, you don't need an internet connection to scan recipes or extract ingredients.

You'll only need internet if you want to sync with iCloud Reminders across devices.

Which iOS devices are supported?

IngrediList requires iOS 17 or later and is optimised for iPhone. It works on:

• iPhone 12 and newer (recommended)
• iPhone SE (3rd generation)
• Any iPhone capable of running iOS 17

Older devices may work but could experience slower processing speeds.

How do I adjust serving sizes?

After scanning a recipe, you'll see an option to Scale Servings. Simply enter the number of people you're cooking for, and IngrediList will automatically adjust all ingredient quantities proportionally.

Can I scan recipes from websites?

Yes! You can:

• 1. Take a screenshot of the recipe on your phone
• 2. Open IngrediList and select Scan from Photos
• 3. Choose the screenshot

IngrediList will extract the ingredients just as it would from a physical book.

Does IngrediList support languages other than English?

Currently, IngrediList is optimised for English-language recipes. We're exploring multilingual support for future updates. If you'd like to request a specific language, please contact us.
