Email smileymanrecipe@gmail.com. Tell us your iPhone model and iOS version, and what happened. Please don't send photos of family recipes unless you're happy to share them.
Reading a card
- Keep the whole card in view, edges and all, in good light.
- Your original photo is saved first. If reading fails or you're offline, the card waits under "Waiting to be read" and you can retry later.
- Anything Smiley isn't sure about is shown for you to check against the card. Nothing is saved until you give the recipe a name.
- On iPhones without Apple Intelligence, turn on "Allow existing cloud parser as fallback" in Add a recipe, Reading & privacy. See the privacy policy for what that sends.
Timers and voice
- Timers start only when you tap. A timed step waits until its timer has started.
- Allow notifications so a finished timer can alert you when your phone is locked.
- Hands-free voice is off until you turn it on. Say "next step", "start timer", "stop timer" or "repeat". "Hey Smiley" is optional.
Trial and subscriptions
Every new cookbook starts with a 7-day free trial in the app, with no card needed. After that, the free plan keeps up to 25 recipes and basic cooking. Smiley Man Recipe Plus adds unlimited recipes and hands-free voice, monthly or yearly. Your recipes always stay yours: nothing you saved is ever locked away.
