Great concept, would love some more functionality
I love the idea of ratios in cooking and knowing the proper ratio for what you're making is empowering. What would make this app even better is the ability to enter your own ratios for types of recipes that are not included with the app. I'm constantly tweaking my ratios in my own recipes and it would great to be able to use this tool to make subtle adjustments without having to bust out the calculator and a piece of paper.

Would be better if updated for iPad
I like what Michael Ruhlman does, but a little surprised that the last update was Sept 2010 and that he has not yet built in an upgrade for iPad users. I hope existing Ratio users will be able to upgrade when an iPad version is available.
Very good for the formulas it contains
I like this way of cooking. It makes a lot more sense than traditional recipes. The only thing I would say is that it needs more formulas.
muffins
I used it for making muffins but the fat to flour ratio is way too high. I cut it by 1/3 and it was still far too much butter. I am in love with the idea of this app more than the reality.
Great concept - needs to be upgrade and expanded. For iPad
LOVE the book. I use it all the time. The app on the iPhone is great when I am at the store and need to figure out what to buy.
It would be much better if they made it to an HD model for the iPad.
Like others said, it would be better if you could get the egg measurements as a per egg, but volumetric measurements are the more professional way to cook.
I would love if they added more recipes from the book too.
If you like the app, you will love the book.

Sugar measurement is wrong and Nonclosing Error window
In the recipes where sugar is included in the ratio, it has 1 cup of sugar weighing 13.2 oz when it should weigh about 7 oz. I also had a problem in the About window when I tried to read blog entries. An error window popped up saying "Ratio can't connect to the internet. You need to be online to read the blog entries". I didn't really understand this since I had internet access on my phone, but the worse part is that the window kept popping up when I hit Ok. I couldn't access the rest of the app, I ended up deleting it from my phone and reinstalling it.

Some bugs
Its a great app. However it could use some improvement. The calc. for mayo just doesnt work. No one needs to know how many cups of egg yolks to use, and you cant change the unit. that being my only complaint, i am happy with it.
Great companion for the book!
Get yourself a kitchen scale & learn to cook the rewarding way! Could you please add the recipes you have in your book? They would be so fast to refer to and always have along (like when you travel)
Wonderful companion app for the book
Love the book and love this app for everyday kitchen use. Do yourself a favor by buying the app and then getting the book. This app will make much more sense after reading the book. This will take you from a good cook to a creative great cook.
Good App...
I will be a GREAT App when Ratio alowes me to enter my own recipes and save them and back them up to my Desktop. I would be ok with sending my saved recipes to myself via email. Or maybe use iPhones notes that get synced into the "Mail" cliant as a note. Other wise it seams to function fine. Ratio's support seams to be a comments section that can be found with a link on Ratio's website that leads to Michael Ruhlman's site. It would be great if support was obvious!
