The Recipe Box To Go Reviews

Add the option to add pictures to directions

GeeeeeeeAnyNickname

Love this app. So much easier to use than other recipe apps. Only thing I would change is to have the option to add pictures in the directions tab.

Love the APP but needs to be updated and fixed

Love this app. Use for all my recipes. Instant import never works. Should be deleted. But the thing that is really driving me crazy is not being able anymore to link with my iPad and wife via Bluetooth. This was great feature but hasn’t worked for year. No bug reports get responded to. I think the developer has abandoned or died. Should have sync function added like Good Reader and Outliner for example. PLEASE FIX

Still really good, needs work

This was a 5 star app years ago. I got a little worried when it seemed it wasn’t supported any longer. I did finally find out how sync it with my new iPad. Now if that Nice little keyboard with degrees and fractions and common recipe abbreviations just worked again I’d be giving its 5th star back.

Recipe Box iPHONE

I have been using Recipe Box on my iPad for years and complaining no app for iPhone. So, now you have one, purchased it. HORRIBLE. No way to easily transfer my recipes. In fact cannot transfer any. Support links? Several I tried, one being Email (under construction) said Bad. That’s it-bad. Huge disappointment.

Wish the import feature worked with more sites

I agree with others that this is a great app but has fallen short with updates & fixes. Please fix because I do use this app often.

Used to be much better

I have used this app for years and have invested a lot of time to get all my recipes into the app. The last few years, more and more features have stopped working. The special keyboard stopped working when I upgraded to an iPad Pro. I can rarely get the wireless sync to work between my devices. The app does not show up as an option to save to iCloud on any of my devices. You can copy the sqlite file from one device to another manually through itunes, but you lose all the pictures. It would be nice if the iCloud backup worked and if there was a way to move the pictures between devices without using the very flaky wireless transfer. If you don’t need to move the recipes between devices, it works great. I still love the app for recipes. It is pretty easy to type in recipes or to copy them off the internet. But I want to easily transfer the recipes from my iPad to iPhone. It would also be nice if there was a way to view and enter the recipes from a computer.

Good recipe tool, but with issues

I have used this app for many years without using any import or export features. Then I wanted to use the iPhone app so that I could take recipes with me. The touted WIFI transferring of recipes doesn’t work, but the export via email does for new recipes. You can only send under 20 at a time if you want pictures to accompany the recipe, and you need to flag them in some way; I use the bookmark feature, but that means you are only using bookmarks for import/export, and continually unchecking bookmarks on both apps when done. If you update a recipe with new information, you must first delete the recipe from the destination and then import it. Hard to remember what you’ve changed if you don’t do the fixes right away. Importing recipes from the web has an Instant import feature that never works for me. I can do things in stages with cut and paste although it takes multiple steps (name, notes, ingredients, preparation, source, servings, etc). Doable but slow. Still, it is better than typing. The picture import doesn’t work, although you can capture the image to tour photos and import from there. Bottom line is I make it work for me, but wish the WIFI and Instant Import would work. Then it would be a 5.

Lost recipes

App worked great for a number of years. Opened it today and all of our recipes are gone. It looks like it did when we first loaded app. We have lost about 100 recipes. Print all your recipes to keep them.

Was a great app

This was a great app, but now it won’t update and it no longer transfers recipes easily. I still use it because I have typed in many recipes and don’t want to lose them, but I would love to share recipes by airdropping with family members and that is no longer an option.

How stupid can it be

I’ve been using recipe box for a long time. Had entered family recipes I can’t get again. My iPad is backed up regularly. Today I get on to look up a recipe and it says I’m about to use this version for the first time. It has reset to the original recipes. ALL of my recipes are gone! Ones my mother gave me, before she passed away! I hate this app!!!!!!!!!
