### 1/5 — Marla

*2026-05-12, version 3.1*

No direction zero instruction

### 5/5 — L♡VE

*2025-11-18*

perfect app

### 5/5 — Very simple and easy to use

*2025-11-11, version 1.9.3*

I love this app so much! I am slowly building a small baking business and this has helped so much with exact measurements. It's also very screen reader friendly, which isn't common in these types of apps, so a very important factor for me as a blind baker.

### 4/5 — Almost 5 stars

*2024-01-30, version 1.9.3*

Truly a helpful and easy to use kitchen tool. Would be even better if it had a simple and direct calculator in the “converters” section to get equivalency ratios. Currently you have to use the “Limiting” or “yield” tools to build that calculation. Would be nice to be able to just plug in numbers and press a “calculate” button to get a missing variable. Still, Bake-u-lator is a really good, reliable app.

### 4/5 — Delete recipes

*2022-10-26, version 1.9.3*

How do I delete saved recipes

**Developer response:** Thanks for using Bake-u-lator! You can delete saved recipes by swiping left on the recipe from the list of recipes.

### 4/5 — Please, so much potential I would gladly pay for

*2022-03-01, version 1.9.3*

It’s pretty good as is, but just needs a little more flexibility. 

This app is going to help me keep track of baking experiments, and I’m very excited about that. I did immediately meet what seems like a big shortcoming. When using the yield tool, what I’m most likely doing is trying to re-portion the recipe to just make 2 cupcakes or whatever. The results in this case are useless, offering things in 1/12 of a cup, or 1/16 tsp. It will always return the new measurement in the same scale as the original measurement, which is unusable without one by one converting them to weight measurements, which is tedious when looking to permutate a recipe 12 different ways.

There are some other minor gripes, but that’s the main one. It’s really a remarkably nice app considering it’s free. It’s just a shame that you’ll need to invest time into it to get your recipes in the system, but then the system is limited in some really frustrating ways. I’d gladly pay $5-$10 for a more robust version of this exact app, especially if it were partially geared toward tracking baking experiments.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2021-11-27, version 1.9.3*

I have always loved baking. This app Allows me to write out the measurements. It will be helpful for young bakers to become advanced

### 1/5 — App usage

*2021-09-13, version 1.9.3*

App is difficult to use for updating recipe ingredients and then calculating calories.  Update of ingredients with calories or density dies not add the ingredients to the recipe list for calculating new caloric content.

### 2/5 — Minimal usefulness as a recipe calorie calculator

*2021-06-27, version 1.9.2*

I downloaded this for the recipe calorie calculator. Most of the ingredients for my first recipe were not in the app (peanut butter, rolled oats, cocoa nibs, flax seed meal, coconut) so I entered them all manually including the calories/100g, which I had to calculate manually. I input the recipe - it does have a very convenient feature for entering quantities - and when I pressed calculate, it had no calories for all of the ingredients I had so painstakingly calculated and entered. Total waste of time.  In all fairness, if you are only using the ingredients included in the app, it seems to work well.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate AF

*2021-03-22, version 1.8*

This app is very inaccurate. It has no options for quantitative items (ex: eggs) which causes the calculation to be inaccurate.
