Ingredient List

This app would be better if there was a spot for ingredients as a master list. For example just list the ingredient, amount in bottle/container, and the price paid for it. I don’t need to know how much all the other costs are sometimes (hourly wage, overhead, etc). Then when you import into a recipe, you can change the amount used.

This app is so rad!!!!!

This app calculated everything I had done on paper down to the ounce and down to the penny. There are some features I would like such as, the ability to copy and paste an old recipe to a new one. The reason is because I have a base ingredient to my cheesecakes that are all the same, but need to add or take away more for different types. Ex: Tobasco Maple with Popeyes chicken vs Butterfinger or Dulce de Leche. Other than that it is amazing!

Just Amazing

When I first started my business, I wasn’t sure on my pricing. I tried calculating myself but if was hard keeping track sometimes, with this app it’s all there. Put the ingredients in and it just does it for you.

I’m confident in my pricing now. Definitely recommend if anyone is starting a food business!

Need folders

Would be great if I could create folders to separate different types of recipes and easily find them. Please update the app. It is only one of a few that works.
There should also be a search bar to search recipes.

Good but needs some better organization and functions

This app is fine for simple use. You can write up a recipe and it prompts for the details of ingredients, which can be reused across recipes.

Cons: no download function or reports. A spreadsheet would be nice (.csv). And for the life of me I can’t figure out how to put things in folders.

Crashed after using for 4 minutes

I foresee this being very frustrating moving forward.

Great tool

I wish you could take picture of you recipes to add them. If you could add you base hourly rate, margin and overhead that would be awesome, instead of entering the same thing on each recipe. Being able to add a single ingredient would be stellar.
For something like a frosting it would be nice to have total recipe weight, as it may not exactly have servings like on a cake. Or being able to price it out in a different way than servings such as ounces.

Customer service is very nice and do seem to care, I sincerely appreciate it. This app has definitely been helpful. A few tweaks and upgrades it will be perfect!

Love

I’m a home baker and I absolutely love this app for helping me decide on how to price my items and to actually earn a profit.

Some suggestions to creators

This is the best app I’ve found to help price my baking items, but I do have a few things I’d love to see changed:
- ability to duplicate recipes
- ability to halve/double/triple recipe to see prices for different amounts of same recipe
- a page where I can list all ingredients and change prices there, instead of having to find a certain ingredient in a recipe to alter ingredient price

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. 1. You can duplicate recipes by viewing a recipe, tapping Edit, then tapping the little dropdown icon, then tapping "Create a copy". This will duplicate your recipe so you can make edits, but keep the original as-is. 2. Modifying recipe quantities is something we are working on, and we plan to release this as part of a larger feature update in the future. 3. You can view all your ingredients on the Ingredients page by tapping the "Ingredients" tab. You can view any ingredient and see all recipes that use it. Premium users can also edit individual ingredients from this view. Free users can open a recipe and edit the ingredient price there. Ingredient prices will still auto-update for all recipes. Thanks again for the great feedback.

Adding recipes

This is a very helpful app. But there has to be a better way of adding the recipes into the system especially for bakers who have a thick binder full of creative recipes. Maybe photo adding recipes.

Hi Mika. We've made it so that you can copy paste recipes from your library if you have it saved somewhere digital. If you have a physical binder of handwritten recipes and would like to upload those, please get in touch via our support page in the app. We'll be happy to assist you to get those digitised.
