Glitchy Disappointment
I had high hopes for this app, and I don’t understand how it has such high reviews. I tried adding recipes from my phone and using the desktop recipe clipper, both with mixed results. I understand it has to do with how the recipe is coded, but Pinterest is reading the ingredients list just fine.
Also, it seems the app is just a mobile version of the website, which causes it to be difficult to use and to view.
Sadly, I think I’ll have to move on to another app, because this one isn’t worth the time.Show lessK.beasley

Kind of Unremarkable
Eh. I didn’t really like this app. It does have some technical problems, and a family member of mine couldn’t open it. It’s kind of boring, too, which is why I barely visit it nowadays. The home section doesn’t have much there; you can’t even scroll, and I prefer apps that let me scroll for recipes.
As I mentioned in the reviews title, this app is pretty much unremarkable. Putting it simply; to me, this app is boring, has more technical difficulties than other cooking apps I have tried, and the layout isn’t appealing to me.
At the end of the day, I wouldn’t that I necessarily hate this app, but it’s not for me. Try it out for yourself and see if you like it. However, it isn’t an app that I enjoyed having, or one that I want to keep.Show less4angelina569

Great to find all the recipes I need.87coach
First Recipe “Clipped” Didn’t Even Save Ingredients Correctly
I just tried saving my very first recipe to this app from a website, only to find that it didn’t copy the complete ingredients. I clicked on edit recipe under more options to fix the ingredients, only to find I need to pay for that service.
I saw this app recommended on a Best Recipe Storage Apps article. I’m super disappointed that this is considered one of the best. It does not give me a lot of hope for the other apps recommended.
On the other hand... Developers, Head’s up that there’s a huge opportunity in this space if you can simply get the ingredients of a recipe right! Or even just allowed people to correct any mistakes.Show less=CKSF=
Not bad...
Not a bad app, but it’s really glitchy. It doesn’t sync very well with the website, and the photos don’t seem to appear, even when it says they have been accepted. Force closing the app does not help either. You can’t edit directly in the app, it takes you to the site and then syncs down. Very clumsy.
It’s good as there doesn’t seem to be a hard limit on number of recipes. However it seems like more of a community recipe sharing site (which bis great if that’s what you’re looking for!) rather than a personal recipe box.
Overall good, but app needs work.Show lessValentAntona
Load of rubbish
Recipe no.1 typed up, and press save. Error message back about not being able to contact the server and my recipe is deleted. Big Oven? Won’t be trying that again thanks.Sciencepole
Love this app
I love this app how did a few years back and delete it for a bit but now that I am working again and living with my boyfriend and roommateI carpool with to work,we all need recipes that are easy for meal planning plus can fit the criteria of her being able to take to work being she works at a Jewish community center so she hast to take foods that are kosher that she can put in the same fridge as the rabbis and recipe she can keep cold because right now due to Covid they’ve taken away our microwavesShow lessEmilyraccoon

Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you for using BigOven!Always a pricing mystery
Sometimes the in-app purchases have no relationship to what's going on in the app, sometimes it's only some that don't. This has a straight forward month or year's change but then what are the credits? All I can figure is that some of us see through the broken matrix and use the credits to seal things. 😛 I'll just leave it as is when it breaks. Why not?Show lessPhelineCat
