So functional
Every time I use Big Oven I’m reminded how well it works, how many recipes there are, and how well it works. I can spend hours “window-shopping!”Valerie Hykawy
Love it!
I’ve been using this app for years and I now have over 250 personal recipes saved on it. It’s so easy to use and helpful when I need something in the grocery store. It’s right on my phone. I can look up the recipe and see what ingredients I need. No more little pieces of paper in the kitchen holding all my recipes together. I can forward personal recipes to family and friends, just love it!!Show lessMarbiegreen
Awesome App
I love big oven, I have put so many people on to it, there is millions of recipes to choose from, with step by step instructions, it’s so easy to use, I highly recommend it. 👍👍👍👍👍Tradie1969
The only sure way to add a recipe is to type it yourself.
I have had this app for many years and recently have been adding recipes for which there are four options including providing up to three scans for a full recipe. This option is a joke. In the case I have wanted to add recipes with a long list of ingredients BigOven completely disregards my scans and provides a recipe that isn’t even mine. It’s as if they don’t want to be bothered by a long list of ingredients. Ultimately disgusted by their unprofessional and casual disregard for the recipes I wish to add the only solution has been for me to type them myself. After many years it’s time to search for a new recipe app.Show lesswweaselmom
So disappointing…
I have used the Big Oven app for years. Liked it a lot. Sadly, it has become all but unusable on my phone. Intrusive ads and dialogues make it seemingly impossible to get to a screen where I can actually view the recipe’s directions. I do multidimensional visual data analytics and data science for a living. If i can’t figure out how to view the directions it is way too hard! Please fix it!! I find myself using other recipe apps way more often these days as a result.Show lessTop__Cat
Messy
The UI is one of the messiest I’ve seen for this sort of app. It turned me off instantly. I tried managing it but no dice. Overpriced, underdesigned. This needs a severe rehaul, I don’t understand how people see using it as pleasant.Albert Zablit
Your site is awful!
I’d give it no stars if I could! I’ve had this app for years and every time I try to look at a recipe I get smothered in ads, pop-ups, videos of unrelated things and can’t even get to the full recipe. Now you have these little heart and search symbols on the side so when I try to scroll the hearts go floating across the screen. You’ve positioned them in a ridiculously stupid place. It may help your likes but it’s a lie and very distracting. I finally decide to just got to the recipe and then there are all of these videos or ads sliding behind the content. There may be a great recipe but I finally quit because there is sooooo much junk that I’m worn out before I even get started! Then if I try to print the recipe because I find it easier to read than trying to use your app, your app makes it almost impossible to print a recipe alone! It has ads all throughout the recipe! I understand the need for ad dollars but when it ruins the pleasure of your site you’ve gone too far! Clean up your site! We are the customers and if we can’t come to your site with ease will stop coming and then your ad dollars will decrease. I hope you all take this seriously because I am getting to the point of deleting this app and banning you from my email list!Show lessWhat's the deal!
Best recipe app
I love my big oven.. all my recipes and new ones readily available.. one issue is for some reason on my iPhone I can’t access off line my recipes when before I could… minor problem but one I wish could be fixed… that is the reason for 4 stars and not 5Hjdidid

Thanks and happy cooking!Spotty Searches of My Recipes
I have paid for and used Big Oven Pro for 8 years now. I like that no matter where I travel I can have my recipes with me. I have thousands of recipes that I have input and saved into folders that help me meal plan, shop and cook each week.
However, I am very disappointed that I am not always able to find the recipes I know I saved to a specific folder. (Also, when I open the folder it shows there are 30 recipes, but only 2 show in the list to open). They just do not come up in my search. At that point, I have to go back through my meal plans several months to find the recipe I want to cook with. At that point I can open the recipe I need directly from the meal planner. This problem has been going on for several months without any up dates to fix the problem. Very disappointing ☹️Show lessSmithdat
