Great recipe App, lacking some critical features

tonkinite

The App is great for organizing recipes. Supports a lot of the common recipe web sites. Cons: - No ability to print recipes (so you can share them with your Mom who doesn't have the Internet or just put them in an old fashioned notebook). Only way to print is to email the recipes to yourself and then print them from your Mail App. - Export options limited to Email, but omit most of the metadata like pictures, etc. - No updates for a year. Is this App abandoned?

Awesome

Oz the dessert man

The app is awesome and I'm glad to see that it's for both iPhone and iPad the syncing feature is awesome as well. I work in a kitchen and I have to make big batches sometimes for certain desserts. Would be cool to see the amount of servings and recipe multiplier go up. Currently there too low. Maybe have a setting to set the max number for each? Other than that awesome app.

Happy recipe saver

I have had this app for a couple fo years now and enjoy it. Customer service is polite and quick to respond. For supported websites, recipes are easy to save. For those that aren't supported it is a little tricker, but, they make it clear up front which ones they support so I know what I'm in for if I tray from a standard site. The main area of improvement would be to integrate with a wider range of site and to make entering your own recipes a little easier. However, the cost for this app is reasonable and I find it to be a simple way to save recipes without a lot of hassle or needing special accounts. It isn't a memory hog on my ipad either and I appreciate that it doesn't push ads to me. I will say that I don't use it's features for grocery shopping. I like to be a bit old school on that - pen and paper make me happy. I like the app and I'm sorry to see that others have been unhappy.

Great app

Iguana64

I'm not sure why everyone is saying this app doesn't work. I've been using for years and it's great. It easily imports recipes from 52 major food/cooking sites. One issue (very minor to me) is that I can't import from SimplyRecipes.com but I have emailed support. Update: Going to 2 stars. Seems like I'm unable to import recipes from more and more sites (e.g. Martha Stewart). I'm sure it's a pain to support all these sites, but the big ones should be incorporated.

Syncing broken

Maystt

Haven’t been able to sync properly since updating my computer. Both iCloud and Dropbox backups not working. I hope they fix this as I use the app on multiple devices

Total crap

Reagent X

The app does not work. It supports barely any recipe websites and the ones that it does support do not always work. If the website is unsupported the app forces you to manually highlight parts of the page. Since the app does not block ads or other unnecessary elements you either include random ads or other irreverent information. The highlighting itself is incredibly frustrating as iOS's implementation is broken. The app uses no iOS extension features. It not only doesn't use standard iOS design language but forces you to install a bookmark in Safari. It's 2016, we have had the iOS sharesheet for 2 years now. This app is terrible, crashy, fails to sync, and is a overall total disappointment.

Good simple program

Mistypilgrim

I've been using this for about 3 years now, and it's always worked fine for me. It's a nice simple program, can be used offline to access recipes, and doesn't hog phone storage. It lacks some sophistication when populating the grocery list (frozen peas does not go in produce, it goes in frozen foods) but overall I'm satisfied. Also, the one time I had a glitch, the developer responded to me personally, released an update soon after.

Great recipe organizer!

Clean, easy-to-use interface. I like that the recipes stay on the ipad and not online. Recommend it!

Great start for recipe app

SlappE

I love the UI and the ability to automatically show weight measurements from a recipe that is in volume measurements. No other recipe management app I've found will do this automatically. Would be great if it would do meal planning and shopping lists too. Calculating nutrition info would be a plus as well. Overall a really good start.

I'm in love

I can't explain how much this app is worth to me. Thank you so much for such an awesome recipe keeper...it's way better than I was even hoping for!!
