Importing recipes from websites is inconsistent, it will sometimes work perfectly and sometimes be missing almost all the major parts of the recipe. Even when using the sites listed as supported in the app there is no guarantee that it will work. You can also add recipes from OCR (which seems to work well), from a file (which is limited to certain filetypes), or by copy/pasting blocks of text. The latter gets good results but is fiddly and impractical, especially when adding a larger number of recipes. See More
You can share an account with others and the shopping list will sync so everyone sees the same, except for "extra items". These are the everyday items you buy that don't go into a recipe, for example bread, milk, cereal, that sort of thing. These won't be synced, so if your partner is out shopping they won't see these on the list, which in my opinion is rather silly as these are the items we buy most often. See More
A lot of time has been spent on making the interface feel as intuitive as possible. Navigation is easy, it's possible to highlight items with taps to track what steps have been taken or tap to cross-out ingredients that have been added as well as adjust the recipe easily without overwriting the original and make notes of changes and preferences.

Items to the shopping list can be added from the recipe view by clicking on the ingredients or manually from the shopping list itself. Items are organized in categories such as produce or beverages and there's a reminder at the bottom for what meals are the ingredients for. Bought items can be ticked off by tapping on them or deleted from the list with a long-tap. See More
Recipes can be organized into menus and categories. Menus allow grouping recipes and operating with them together. For example, a whole menu can be added to a shopping list or added to the planner without having to add each recipe separately. Categories are essentially tags. They can be added to recipes and used to search through them in recipe list. See More
To save a recipe from the web into Pepperplate requires copying the URL, navigating to Pepperplate.com (that has no mobile version), either logging in or clicking view recipes, then navigating to import recipes and pasting the URL in the form field. There's no way to "share" a URL to Pepperplate. See More
