Although there are tons of cooking a recipe apps available on the app store, there aren’t many that cater to people with specific dietary requirements. Yummly is different because one of its key features is that allows you to set up a dietary profile (i.e. vegetarian, vegan, paleo, wheat-free and numerous others) so that the app automatically filters out ingredients that you cannot or do not eat. It also allows you to set filters for specifying how sweet, salty, spicy or sour you want your food to be, how long it takes to make, and what skills or equipment are required to make it.

One of the biggest annoyances when you’re cooking is having to keep track of multiple different cooking times simultaneously. Most timer apps or the timer on your phone won’t cut it, because they usually limit you to using just a simple timer.

For instance, if you cook sausages for 20 minutes, you can create a specific timer for it and begin it with a single tap whenever you need to.
