A reminder that Cards 2.3 will require iOS 10 or newer. Cards will continue syncing to Cards 2.2 just fine for those with older devices which can’t run it. Support for iOS 11, including Spotlight preview cards for devices with 3d touch. Support for drag and drop on iPad: Drag in images, lists of ingredients or steps. Drag recipe text or images out. Much improved syncing engine. Fixed a condition that could result in the appearance of duplicate ingredients or steps if a duplicate recipe exists.

Cards 2.1 focuses on improving recipe creation and editing, particularly ingredients. No need to be in edit mode to add or edit ingredients or steps, only to reorder them. Added a unified ingredient entry field to ingredient editing view Keyboard comes up on a unified ingredient field when editing an ingredient automatically Swipe left on Add Ingredient to add multiple ingredients at once. Type one ingredient entry per line, and then we split them and add them, just like pasting ingredients in. Remove display of (US) from units when not in the US, but keep the info around just in case Add australian tablespoon Add a None option to the unit picker Fixed an issue where quart would become cup. All units that got switched will remain cup unfortunately since we cant tell which was which

Cards 2.0.2 fixes a bug with initial syncing larger libraries up to iCloud. If your recipes are on your local device, but not on your others, and the last sync date isn't changing, this fixes that. It also adds features for recovering recipes from Cards 1.x if the migration didn't go properly the first time around. ***This version drops support for iOS 7 and OSX 10.9, and syncing to older (1.x) versions of Cards*** First and foremost, Cards 2.0 brings with it a completely rewritten syncing system, which is better prepared for the future. It still uses iCloud, but in a better way, that unfortunately required us to drop support for iOS 7 and OSX 10.9. Additionally, we have more control over the sync process, and can now show last sync date, and if everything needs to be reset (and even in the best of times sometimes this happens), we can delete all data from iCloud. Support for most of the new iOS 9 features Apple Watch support (watchOS 2), with display of recently viewed recipes from your phone, and Handoff support for Mac and iOS Spotlight support, find your recipes without even opening the app. Multi tasking support on supported iPads iPad Pro support, work on it's wonderful large surface And of course, tons of bugs fixed in layout of views, and lots of crashes and annoyances. And last but not least, an entirely new app for Apple TV, included with the iOS app. Display your recipes on your big (or little) screen

No data was lost due to this bug, however if you upgraded while 2.0 was available, chose "Already Done" on all devices to get around the crash, and did not have a local backup of your recipes, contact us for help in retrieving your iCloud recipes, support@darkchocolatesoftware.com

Fixed in 1.3.1: Crash in emailing a book with unformatted text recipes selected Sharing text generation issue What's in store for Cards 1.3? Well first up, there is the usual, bug fixes and improvements, including improved iPhone 6 Plus support. Tired of creating new recipes accidentally? Or not finding where to type the name in? Now we ask for the recipe name at creation time, letting you cancel if you mis-hit the button Next, we worked to improve our voice over accessibility throughout the app. It may still not be 100% awesome everywhere, and if you notice something not working, let us know and we will be sure to get it fixed for the next version. Now for the new shinyness! We added the ability to create custom convertible units. Live someplace where cooking unit's are a bit different? You can add those. Want to be able to convert between a 12 oz Can and a 16 oz Can? You can do that. Custom units are also synced over iCloud so all your devices get them Email improvements! You can choose how to format the recipe in the email, either not include it, unformatted text, or shiny HTML. You can also choose whether to send a PDF version and/or a Cards file. And last, and certainly not least, a web importer! Simply hit the + button, enter the URL instead of a recipe name, and presto, we have the recipe! Additionally, we have an extension for Safari that lets you import directly from Safari. We only support certain sites right now, but we can add to and update those easily, just poke us on twitter @DarkChocSoft with the recipe site you want supported! ps: Our display name has been updated to Cards Recipes
