Hi Christina, Yes, the Mac version of Paprika is accessible. In fact there's a review of Paprika on the Mac at the AppleVis site, and no review of the iOS app there, even though the accessibility updates for the versions for iPhone and iPad (there are separate apps for each), were completed before they finished updating the Mac app. And the comment in that review about wanting to set the app into text only mode because you can't use VO to select recipes in the photo and text view mode hasn't been true for several months.
Yes, you can check off items in the grocery list as you use it. You can check or uncheck any of the ingredients in a recipe when you create your grocery list, and you can also add other items. Your grocery list is viewable in three tabs: "al"l, "bought", and "to buy". As you check off items, the lists in the different tabs gets updated. You can email the list, but I don't think there's any standard export format for your grocery list. I think the strongest point of Paprika is really the cloud syncing with iOS devices. So it's perfectly possible to just get the iOS apps, load any recipes you want on your iPhone, and use it to browse recipe sties for new recipes you want to add, or input your own, without getting the Mac version, as a number of iPhone users who use Windows do. If other family members have the app, you can sync your meal planning, groceries, etc. through the cloud account that comes with the app. What's nice about the Mac app, is that the cloud syncing between the Mac version of Paprika and the iOS versions works. There are other good, mature, recipe apps for the Mac, such as MacGourmet, and MacGournet even has an iOS app. But what I read in the reviews is that many MacGourmet users complained that cloud syncing with their iPhones didn't work, and so they moved to Paprika, which can import recipe formats from other apps. The main reason I got the Mac version of Paprika, apart from the fact that it was discounted to half price for "Black Friday" weekend, was that I didn't want to add recipes that were already on my computer by having to connect my iPhone and use iTunes sync. You might want to read through the user guides at the Paprika support site if you have questions. Here's the link to the guide for the iPhone: http://www.paprikaapp.com/help/iphone/ And here's the URL for the Paprika User Guide for the Mac: http://www.paprikaapp.com/help/mac/ You can review the link for "groceries" on those pages if you want to learn more about creating and using grocery lists. HTH.
