  • Good concept, awful execution

    The idea of this app is great. I like that it syncs with desktop and other devices. However, the mobile app is just awful. Hard to use. So much wasted space in the layouts. The header and footer are gigantic and the amount of white space is excessive. You should be able to fit more of a recipe on one page. Won't use until this is fixed but there have been no version updates in almost a year so I'm not holding out much hope. Guess my search will continue.

  • Excellent!!!

    What a terrific program both easy to use and includes SUPERB customer service! Prior to this I used another program which constantly glitched through three iterations of itself over 2 years. I've owned Master Cook now for a couple months and never had an issue. Converting all my cookbooks from one program to the other was done flawlessly by Pam, in customer service. The end result is stunning! The mobile app works easily and allows me to access all my recipes from where I am with my smart phone. If I am near a computer I have the same ease by going to the MasterCook website.

  • Like the concept, still needs some work

    This app was long overdue--I have been waiting for the ability to view recipes on my tablet. So far the app has been disappointing. The margins of recipe instructions are cut off, recipes are not organized by category, etc. The program should be more functional than it actually is.

    Update: functionality is improving. Issues I have had with margins are no longer a problem; the developers seem to be responsive and working to improve the app. If the app continues to improve, I anticipate using it more and more.

  • Has some bugs

    The search for recipe function does not work. Scrolling for a recipe takes forever if recipe starts with letter near end of alphabet. Only a few recipes load at a time and the process is so slow!
  • Not ready for prime time

    A basic necessity for any recipe app is that is has a search capability. Until such time as this app has that it is not at all functional and basically worthless.
  • Mastercook 15 ROCKS!!!

    As a Mastercook user of many, many years, I could not have dreamed of a better version than V.15. I love not having to think about where my recipes are. This iPad version is icing on the cake. Although, it is in desperate need of a search function, (my reason for only giving 4 stars), I was thrilled to see I could now edit my categories from my device. Great job, otherwise. I also have a wish list of additions, but this will tide me over nicely until later versions. Thanks!

  • Good Start

    Needs search function, print option. Takes too long to scroll through hundreds of recipes.
  • Love Mastercook

    Whoever thought of this product is brilliant. It's so much better having Mastercook than the over-done web options. With Mastercook I know the recipes are great and it's great to be able to save my own. This gives me a one-stop place for all my proven recipes along with so many other great options. Love it, I can't wait for the next update.

  • More features needed

    It is great to finally have access to my recipes online and on my iPad. However there is no sort feature by category or a search function. I don't have time to scroll through my hundreds of recipes every time I look for something. I would also like to see meal planning on the app.
  • Love it.

    Thank you apple for finally releasing it works fantastic can't wait for the upgrades
