Reviews of The Recipe Box

  • Super Recipe App

    I have had this app for over three years and it remains the best one going. For those who like to ferret out new and interesting ways to prepare food, this should be the go-to app. The instant import feature enables me to add a complete recipe in under 10 seconds. And, the built-in set of recipe websites lets you find just the right one. The list had many sites I never heard of until I used The Recipe Box's site search capabilities. It does not come with lots of built-in recipes. That's not what it is about. It is about easily and efficiently adding the recipes you find into your single source for the food and drink you like. Want to add your own? You can.
  • Love it! And Love the Update!

    Updated review: I was so excited to see this app get updated and be supported again! I have used this app for years for my recipes and to help meal plan, but over time it had lost the ability to transfer recipes between the app on my iPhone and my iPad. The “instant import” feature had also stopped working (as far as I could tell), but I could still manually import recipes from websites and blogs so I made the best of it and it was still a mostly useful app.

    But NOW, with the update, everything is back and even better than before. The transfer between my phone and iPad works again. Even better, instant recipe import is even better than before!! I just imported a recipe from a food blog with the touch of a button! So amazing and way easier than the manual import I used to do. I love it and will go back to recommending this app to friends.

    *********
    Great app! So easy to upload recipes from websites. I have it on both my iPad and iPhone and sync recipes between them. I use the app as a way to brainstorm dinner ideas. Before each grocery store trip, I browse the dinner recipes and select which one I'm going to make that week. So nice to have them all in one place and not rummaging through all of my cookbooks, magazines, and random scraps of paper for ideas.
  • Importing & Editing

    Love the updates and the link between iPad and iPhone is great. One thing I discovered, if you EDIT a current recipe on one device, you need to delete the old recipe on the other device before you link the devices and “share” the recipes. It’s a simple fix, but if you don’t delete the old recipe it will not update your edits!
    The new import feature from the web is great….just play with it and you’ll love it….beats typing long recipes.
    I’ve had this original app on my iPhone for several years….it’s great when you bring one of your items to a party and someone wants the recipe….you can text the recipe from the the app or email it, both work very well. It’s like having my personal recipe collection in my pocket at all times.
