  • Love Big Oven

    I love the Big Oven App. I use it every time I need to search for a recipe, sometimes almost daily. It is so easy to use and the pictures are very helpful. There are a variety of recipes and I can always find at least one that works for me. Searching is much easier than in other apps.
  • Great for Solo... Families? Meh.

    So I'm a premium user and Big Oven is awesome for me. I like that it let's you adjust how many probs you're making then automatically calculates grocery list. So if a recipe calls for 1/4 Tblespoon and you're making a double portion...BOOM! Your grocery list has 1/2 Tblespoon. Nice.

    However... Adding my wife allows her and I to share the grocery list only!! She asks me all the time for what recipes I'm using. You have to fix that. The ability to share or pin recipes to each other's views (esp. within a premium family plan...) would make this a much better app and would seem a no brainer to add a "Family Favorites" folder for instance.

  • Love this app

    I love this app and I have been using it for several years. Using it to compile my personal recipe book and with the ability to customize recipes that I get from websites and magazines as well as putting in family recipes. I don’t do the scan feature as much but I love being able to edit and adjust the instructions to my liking. Which is adding the amount of each ingredient with in the list in the instructions. Preparing my grocery list is a huge plus and pulling it up on my phone while shopping. Thanks Big Oven!

  • no metric system

    There is no metric systems, hard to use, have to go to another app to convert recipes, and there no categories
  • Always helpful for changing things up!

    My family only likes it can eat certain foods. To make the same recipes time after time gets boring. I can always check with Big Oven for new ideas to make the same old thing something new and exciting. It helps me introduce new ingredients into our diets, too. Love it!
  • Good app to have big oven

    I’m so glad I found this app it has everything you need to be a great cook and makes it all seem so easy the best I come across so far
  • Cooking teacher’s daughter

    As the daughter of a home economics teacher, I am not afraid to substitute items during baking. The Big Oven app gives me the option of comparing recipes and modifying them as needed to suit my family’s taste. I also enjoy the option of being able to add additional notes to myself about a recipe, or search on a pantry item that I have and I want to use in my baking.

  • My First Stop When Looking For a New Recipe

    I can always trust the ratings on Big Oven. I miss the old rating system where you could rate the recipes on whether or not you would make it again though. Those were very helpful. Something might be 5-star delicious but way too much work or have impossible-to-find ingredients...
  • An improvement would be

    Apart from screen capture it would be good if you could transfer all the ingredients onto a shopping list -that would be awesome but I do love it
  • Flashing images

    App is pretty unusable due to the images flashing. iPhone X
