Leave a Review Handy CookBook
Love It!!
This app is so easy to use! In order to enter recipes from a computer you have to connect the iPhone to your PC, then open the app and touch the icon on the bottom left. It will then give you EASY instuctions on how to complete the process. This app is wonderful and is excatly what I was looking for! No pre-added recipes that I will never use or other useless options. This is a perfect app for those who are tired of losing recipes or those that just want all their recipes in one place! AWESOME!Show lesskmullinix
Still the best...
The latest upgrade makes Handy Cookbook even more indispensible. The web importer interface now allows better editing capability from your computer, in addition to your iPod Touch or iPhone. Just remember to keep the importer "page" open in the app, then (if using Internet Explorer), choose File > Open... (or type Ctrl+O) and enter the link exactly as it appears in Handy Cookbook (to avoid frustration, *don't* use Google). According to the developer's blog, another upgrade in coming soon. I can't wait!Show less1beatnik
My personal cookbook collection
All I wanted was MY recipes on my itouch, and this one fit the bill. At first, the only complaint I had was that I could only imput online using the computer, but recently the developer updated to enable full editing anytime online. (It's always been fully editable, just only on the itouch) This app is great, now I have all my fav recipes in one place. I also love that I don't have to have the internet, I can be in the grocery store, remember a recipe that I want to try, and easily make sure I have all the ingredients. If you just want YOUR recipes, then this is a GREAT app!Show lessluvtheright
Love This App
This is exactly what I've been looking for. You only put in recipes that you will ACTUALLY use, not some others that you'll never in your lifetime make. I also like the grocery list it prepares if you want it to. A little tricky when entering partial cups, etc., like "1-2/3" cups, this can get a little screwed up when it translates to the iPod. Other than that, great program ... does exactly what it should. DVO is coming out with a cookbook application in the fall as well ... should be good too...will compare when it's out.Show lessZipwad
Long Overdue
I needed a simple recipe application. I don't want other peoples' recipes and I don’t want a shopping list. My wife does the shopping. You can type (or copy and paste) your recipe in your web browser on your laptop or desktop. Add the recipe to your iPhone or iTouch over your wifi. You can also add or edit recipes directly on your iPhone or iTouch. This application works and it works well. Thanks to the developer.Show lessStephenwp
Good app but ugly
The app does what I want - it stores my favourite recipes at hand, to aid me in my grocery shopping lists, but also to have recipes with me when I may be cooking at a friend's house. Very handy if you don't have a printer to print your recipes for use in the kitchen, just retrieve it on your iPhone! I reviewed this app a while back and noted that the app was really ugly and 80s looking. The developer took on my comments and it's now much nicer to use, and it is really handy to store my recipes for quick reference when i shop for ingredients after work and need to remember key ingredients in my recipes! Thanks for enhancing the app! I would like to see more fields to separate some of the information i've entered - such as number of servings, preparation time, cooking time and formatting of the ingredients so that the quantities and the ingredient list are nicely formatted on the iPhone.Show lessSquiggle_838
Perfect personal recipe app
This is exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted to be able to input my own recipes easily and keep then together logically, and this does exactly that. Other apps make you choose ingredients from a ore-defined list, but this one allows you enter exactly what you need to. No frustration! My only suggestions would be to provide areas to input nutrition information, additional notes (like Weight Watchers POINTS values) and in the ingredient input, a field for preparation techniques (diced, finely chopped, etc.). Great application!Show lessBelle3WA
Great application
This is a great app. easy to input recipes AND it allows you to put in metric measurements as well. Also nicely separated into various categories. I LOVE the fact that you can adjust the number of servings and it automatically adjust the quantities in the recipe. There is room for improvement though. It would be great to have a field to suggest what to do with an ingredient, such as parsley, chopped or butter, melted etc. Also some recipes call for different parts to be made separately, like a dough and a filling, so it would be nice to be able to separate the ingredients lists and the instructions within the same recipe. And even better to be able to have some sort of desktop version that you could sync with the phone - or maybe somewhere you could add a recipe to a server and share amongst users. Well done and looking forward to any updates.Show lesslillemus
Wish List
Works real well. I do see a need to be able to edit the ingredient list that is created as recipes are added. Also it would be good to be able to edit or add units of measure to the measurement list. Metric units of measure are sometimes needed for example. Really happy to find a program to store frequently used family recipes. Will upgrades be free to those who have purchased the program?Show lessTomLW
watch out ipod users
My fault for not checking I know, but for some reason this is not compatible with the iPod Touch - Not sure why it is iPhone only, as I don't see any real reason for it, but there we go. Any chance of an iPod Friendly version in the future?! It looks like just what I need, but I can't even install it to find out!Show lessFingers78
