Does anyone here use one? Trying to find/decide on one, but it's hard to tell the difference between them without using them. I'm looking for an app that is:
For both Android and Windows tablet (or at least web based) Lets you put in your own recipes Lets you grab recipes from the web without having to hand-jam everything
A plus would be if I could easily share recipes with friends from it.
Thanks!

Why an app as opposed to a website? www.allrecipes.com I think will do what you want it to? I send links to recipies I like/posted to friends all the time and save them to my recipe box to keep track.

Mainly because of my phone and tablet - apps usually have better interfaces. And if you do a shopping list it's on your phone vs. having to log into a website.
Does allrecipes let you clip a recipe from say foodnetwork.com and put it on theirs? Or would have to manually enter it? That's the upside of an app, on my tablet & phone I can select the "send to" option and send a page/site to an app on my phone. I have an app that does it, but it doesn't sync between devices (says it does but it doesn't) and there's no website access.

I have an app on my iPad called Paprika. It can pull and copy recipes from several websites and lets you add your own. I don't know if they have it for android.

I keep coming back to it, they do have it for Android (and Kindle HD/Nook). Only bummer is my tablet is Windows so it wouldn't work with it, but maybe they'll be adding it soon? It really does have all the features I want besides working on my tablet.

It really does have all the features I want besides working on my tablet. It works really well and I think you can meal plan and do a shopping list as well. I don't really use it for that but whenever I come across something that interest me, I put it in that app. I use my iPad for pretty much everything other than my finances so I have no idea about windows.

The ability to clip from another website does sound neat, though...

I don't have an app on my phone but I often use Allrecipes to search for new recipes. Nice site.

Just read about an app called Pepperplate:
Pepperplate makes it easy to access your recipes from any Android device so you can cook up a storm. On the desktop side, the service connects to websites like Allrecipes and Epicurious so you can import recipes (and sync them to your phone) with just one click. You can also easily build shopping lists and keep your recipes handy wherever you are.
