The case against
What recurring Copy Me That feedback actually says
Paraphrased themes from public reviews, forum threads, and app store discussions — not direct quotes from named users. Source context kept for honesty.
Imports are limited to traditional websites. No Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. The format most cooks under 35 actually save from is missing.
Source: Recurring observation in recipe-app comparisons
Requires an account and a browser extension to do anything useful, friction that newer apps have removed.

Interface looks early-2010s; functional, but doesn't feel like a 2026 product compared to newer competitors.
