This update fixes an issue that prevented Mela’s Share extension from appearing in the latest Chrome on iOS.

Improved VoiceOver support:
This update fixes several VoiceOver-related issues throughout the app.
It’s a work in progress, feedback is welcome.

FOODLE
Another new search engine option (see Settings → Browser). While the previously introduced Web Recipe Search works by searching on various sites directly, this one is built more like a classic search engine and can also be accessed outside of Mela (https://foodle.recipes). Please note that Foodle is currently in beta.

IMPROVED
- Web recipe importer
- Ingredient parser

FIXED
- Crash when opening the in-app browser

SEARCH
"Web Recipe Search" is a new "Search Engine" option for Mela's in-app browser (see Settings → Browser). It works by searching across various recipe sites and then combining all results into one list. These search requests are done directly by Mela.

MORE RECIPES
Mela’s web recipe importer now supports extracting recipes from video descriptions on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Please note that, as this uses Mela’s ML-powered importer, it’s always recommended to briefly verify the extracted recipe for accuracy.

IMPROVED

NEW (requires iOS 18)
You can now translate recipes directly in the editor. Set your preferred target language in Settings → Translation (defaults to your current app language). If translation is supported for a recipe, a “Translate” button will appear in the editor.

- List title sometimes not updating

This update fixes a shared library sync issue.
