There is no Paprika version for a PC though. right? Do you think they will make one for PCs?
My recipe solution is to purchase a WI Drive (which was on sale at Amazon.com a few weeks ago for around $50), download the WI app, which is free, and copy all of my .txt recipe files and folers to the drive. Now, as long as I have WIFI, I can access my recipes no matter where I am, and this makes me very happy. A different and more expensive solution for sure, but if Paprika doesn't work with a PC, it was the best I could come up with. Thanks for so much consistently great advice.
