Cons

  • Not available on Android.

Bottom Line
Yumprint is a sleek way to discover new food blogs to follow, new recipes to try and keep it all organized. On the flip side, Yumprint may be an effective marketing tool for food bloggers seeking to expand their reach. Some may compare Yumprint to Pinterest, but with its laser focus on cooking this app offers more value for the home cook.
