How can we help?

If you need help with importing, images, backups, purchases, or your account, review the checks below. If the issue continues, use the contact form.

A recipe will not import

URL or share menu

Check your connection and try again from the share menu in Safari or YouTube. Changes or access restrictions on an external site can prevent importing.

Text input

Include enough text to identify the ingredients and steps. Always review the generated result before saving and edit it if needed.

Images, camera, and backups

Camera and OCR

Check camera permission, lighting, and focus. Review recognized text before saving.

Downloading images again

An image from a URL can be downloaded again only while its source remains available. Manually added images and images with invalid source URLs may not be recoverable.

iCloud backup

Check that you are signed in to iCloud Drive, CookDrawer is enabled for iCloud, and storage is available. Image files themselves are not included in backups.

Restore

Restoring overwrites current data. Create a backup first if needed and confirm the date of the latest backup.

Purchases and accounts

Purchase and restore

Use the same App Store account used for the purchase, then choose Restore Purchases on the purchase page. Apple’s procedures govern cancellation and refunds.

Link or delete an account

You can optionally link an anonymous account with Apple. To request deletion of server data, use the contact form. We will act after verifying your identity. Data on your device and iCloud backups are not deleted automatically.

Before contacting support

When possible, include these details to help us investigate:

  • Your CookDrawer version
  • Your iOS or iPadOS version and device model
  • Steps leading to the issue, what appeared, and how often it occurs
  • For import issues, the URL type (general website or YouTube). Do not send a URL or content that contains confidential information.

Do not submit passwords, Apple authentication information, payment information, secret keys, or confidential recipes, images, or personal information.

Contact support

CookDrawer is selected automatically in the shared form. An email address is required only if you request a reply. Submitted information is used to reply, communicate with you, and resolve the issue.
