Stars are your own. Everyone in the household can star their own favourites.
On the free version, you can save 5 recipes and make 3 groups. With Premium, there's no limit.
To rename, reorder or delete groups, tap ⋯ at the top of Recipes, then Manage groups. You can also press and hold a group to rename or delete it. Swipe left on a recipe to delete it.
The chips are All, Favourites, Imported, Your own and By type, then your groups. Sort by Recently added, A–Z or My order.
