## What is Bakeshop?

The indispensable recipe tool for professional chefs, culinary students and the home culinarian.

Bakeshop is more than just a recipe storage app. Bakeshop understands formulas and it uses volume/mass ratios for each ingredient to perform complex conversions and scaling.

With Bakeshop you can quickly find equivalent amounts for any ingredient. For example 'Free Scale' 1 Cup of Patent Flour and find its volume and mass in both US and Metric units (e.g. 4.25 oz / 125 g).

Bakeshops real power shows when scaling recipes. The options allow you to transform a formula by yield (number of portions) or mass (bakers %). You can also force the use and display of only US or Metric measurements as well as using only Volume or Mass units.

### 1/5 — Bakers %

*2022-09-26, version 5.4.0*

I purchased to scale recipe using bakers %.  Can’t figure out how it works!

### 3/5 — No instructions

*2020-06-17, version 5.4.0*

Can’t for the life of me figure how to work the app. No instructions. Conceptually great. Any help?

### 3/5 — Needs TLC

*2019-11-10, version 5.3.3*

I don't know if this app is still being worked on but I hope it is. I like it (at least when it doesn't crash when I try to do anything, which nowadays is always) and the concept behind it. Unfortunately it is now completely unusable as any action within the app causes it to crash. Instead of saying that this app is garbage ('cause it's not) and whining about wanting my money back I would just entreat the developer to update it and make it the powerful tool that it should be.

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2017-12-15, version 5.3.0*

I want my money back

### 2/5 — cool idea but unstable

*2016-01-01, version 4.6*

crashes regularly.. have yet to be able to create a recipe in order to evaluate further... :-(

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2015-06-28, version 4.2*

Its very cumbersome to add recipes or ingredients. The conversions are very confusing, the app layout is not intuitive or helpful. Oh and its not updated since 2010. Worst app ever for bakers or chefs.

### 1/5 — Worst app I have ever seen

*2015-01-29, version 4.1*

There are no instructions with this app and trying to enter a recipe it appears that i can only enter one ingredient. Stupid. I wanted a calculator to take bakers percentages and produce weights which is implied in the write up however there seems no way to do this. A complete waste of time I would not recommend this app to anyone.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2014-12-25, version 4.1*

User interface is not intuitive.  I'm sure there's a way to add and edit recipes, but I haven't figured it out.  The app is an excellent concept, but the execution is poor.

### 1/5 — Kaizoku30

*2014-06-10, version 4.0*

Lots of bugs, I don't even know why this app is allowed on AppStore . Waste my money.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2014-05-17, version 3.2*

Very complicated to use.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.0 — 2025-04-01

Welcome to Bakeshop 6! It's been far-too-long since releasing any updates, which makes sense having a full-time engineering position. On top of that, the Bakeshop codebase is almost as old as the App Store, and was becoming difficult to maintain. That changes now!

Version 6 of the app has undergone a significant code transformation in order to make it easier and quicker to release improvements. The latest technologies are now being used; Swift async/await and SwiftUI have completely modernized the app.

This release does not include any new features - and in fact scales back in a couple areas - making sure the app has a solid foundation on which to build.

### 5.5 — 2023-03-16

* Bakeshop 5.5 introduces a completely updated sync system. Fully embracing Swift Concurrency, the new sync system will make future development more streamlined.
* There have been few updates to the features provided by Bakeshop, as the focus of this release is under-the-hood improvements.
* A new 'Settings' experience offers a couple of utilities for troubleshooting sticky situations.

### 5.4.1 — 2022-11-27

No functional changes in this release, just some updated contact links.

### 5.4.0 — 2020-05-17

* Support for Dark Mode
* Updated scaling for more precise translations
* Refreshed navigation
* Better support for keyboards on iPad.
* Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 5.3.3 — 2019-06-29

This update makes the launch experience faster for those that don't have iCloud enabled.
