FAQ

Why is a recipe image missing?

Some providers do not expose a reusable image in metadata. The app uses a placeholder image in that case.

Some videos have limited readable metadata or blocked transcripts. Try another URL or a webpage source.

Why can’t I access favorites/notebook while logged out?

Favorites, notebook, planner, and forum posting require authentication.
