What users are saying about Must-Have Recipes:
• Love it: It is like having a cookbook on my phone. But easier to search. Very helpful tips, too. —Lindsey mykel
 
LOVE THIS. I’ve never even rated an app but I’m so impressed with this one that I had to! It’s AMAZING. I’ve tried at least 8 cooking apps and this is, by far, the best one. It’s well rounded user friendly and full of great recipes!! It even has general cooking videos that are greatly appreciated by a college student : ) I’m obsessed with this app, great work. —jhking90
 
Fantastic Cookbook App!!!! Love the hard copy BHG cookbook, and this is even better! Organizes your favorites into your own groups, and the shopping list it compiles from each recipe you want to make is invaluable!! Incredibly elegant programming that makes sense, works the way you’d expect it to, and fantastic graphics. An incredible app. And all for FREE!! Download it NOW!!!” —Spinnin’ Wheeler
 
• Amazing! I love this app!!! There are so many different recipes and ideas and they all look so delicious! My favorite thing is the shopping list though…it’s sooo helpful and useful! —BFerdinand
 
• The BEST of the BEST: This app is so great! It’s everything from my moms old cookbooks, but updated and on my phone. I have always loved this cookbook and it brings back so many good memories of learning to cook. Thanks for making it so easy to use every day. —MrFashion
 
• Super! Love this recipe app! Very nice & informative “How to” videos…clear & crisp images. Oh & the built in Timer on top! Nice touch. —MACDIVAMl2
 
• I love the app! If I’m shopping and want to find something good for dinner the recipe and shopping list are at my fingertips! No more forgotten lists at home! : ) —Dirtdog724

The first recipe I wanted I had to pay $.99 for. That's not free. I just deleted it not gonna pay for a recipe when the app says "free"


A work in progress and pretty good right now

Bias alert - my mother worked at BH&G for years and I have some insight into how rigorously the recipes are tested so that anyone can be successful with relatively simple instructions. You can always count on the recipes working. Over the years I have watched the digital products evolve. They were pretty bad in the beginning; unstable and hard to use. But this ap is stable, easy to use, has lots of great pictures, and has some pretty interesting recipes. I assume it will continue to get better in the future. I like using it now. I agree that the revenue model is unusual. Buying some recipes and getting hit with questionnaires and ads at the same time is different. My opinion is not settled on if it is tolerable or irritating (see bias comment above). Here is what I do know, it takes a lot of money to continually develop interesting and easy to use recipes and take professional pictures and keep going as a business for years and years. I want to always be able to get BH&G recipes so maybe I am willing to have a little patience in order to see the ap improve and see many more recipes added (free and purchased).


Too many ads
Stonecold997

There are way to many pop up ads that are difficult to close with my fat fingers. Either make the app 100% free but ad supported or charge for it and loose the ads. Not both.

Works great I have a iPod 4th generation. I made zukini bread with this.


half-baked app
starh4wk

Running on brand new, current gen iPad. Sharing and favorite links don't work. The app constantly freezes while scrolling, and some recipes never open. App looks nice but very unstable and unusable in current state.


Crashes constantly with latest update
rsgra

This has become unusable since the latest update.q. The app crashes when trying to use menus searching or filters. It was great before and I bought content that now I cannot see. Is there a way to roll back?


Crashes constantly
ZombieMan680

Crashes every time I try to access recipes. Recipes that I've paid to access.


What a waste
Jacfla2

Unfortunately I failed to read the reviews before getting this app and buying all the non included recipes. Fails to save. Crashes constantly. Better Homes and Gardens should change their name to Mediocre At Best. Don't waste your time.


Awful
Hchristison

Crashes, can't save. Just plain awful since the last update. Please fix!!!!!


Terrible
Ailimia

The app crashes every time I want to look up a recipe using a filter.
