LOVE IT!
This is fabulous. No longer need to save magazines and search for that recipe you want to try at your next party.
Lots of reviewers say it doesn't work but I found that you need to hold your phone close, don't try to take in the entire foto. Link with Facebook and create an account to save the recipes. Easy-peasy.

Doesn't work
Don't bother.
New favorite app!
What a great concept to prevent a backlog of magazines! I hate throwing the magazines away or end up ripping out tons of pages to save recipes I'll soon forget about. This app lets me save them in one efficient place, and offers the option of making a grocery just for you, perfect! I have only tried with cooking light and it did take some time for it to recognize some recipes but big deal, it's worth it!

Useless
Cooking Light Magazine has outsourced their recipe downloads to this useless app. It scans the picture, opens up the recipe pages, but doesn't let you save the recipe. It does offer to save them, the key word being "offer." It asks you to register with Facebook or gmail, but then nothing happens. Might as well leave leave the magazine open in front of you. Being deleted.

The way to make it work
It worked for me but not until I re-read the directions. You have to hold your phone only a few inches away from the photo of the recipe. Don't try to view the whole page - or the whole photo.
It works !!!
After reading the other reviews I almost decided not to try it. I am very happy to report it works with no problems. I used the app on articles in my HEALTH magazine. Oh, I have an I-phone 5S.

This is a very good and useful app. An easy download that can detect invisible watermarks on selected photos in magazines and capture information directly to your devise by pointing and shooting. I use it to record golf tips in a golf magazine. Just look for a yellow tab that tells you that a photo can be scanned. The resulting video looks great and is archived for repeated use.

This worked perfect, but there’s a trick
This worked perfect for me, but I realized that instead of scanning the photo, you need to focus the point on the icon for the app. I used it in the Virginia travel magazine and the icon was a heart. This is only for Virginia, as that is their logo (Virginia is for Lovers), so identify the icon and point the app there.

View from potential advertiser
A major advertiser is trying to convince our business of the benefits of including the ID concept in our advertising.
I don’t see the point, it requires that the user has this app installed. Then they have to recognise that an ID is present in whatever they are looking at, then launch the app, then fiddle about getting the camera to focus and capture the image.
As a potential advertiser this would only have benefit if it was pre installed on mobile devices, and constantly ran in the background, nice idea but poorly thought out.

Saw this in Cooking Light. Used to scan a recipe. How cool - it saved to my phone, will let me make a shopping list and even tells me where ingredients in my area are on sale. Thank you!
