### 4/5 — Love this app but slow to open

*2020-01-18*

I have ALL of my recipes on this wonderful app. However, at times when I try to open it, it’s very slow. May be my Wifi problem, not sure. I love that you can copy and paste a recipe from different websites, write your own and share with others.

### 4/5 — Love but needs update

*2019-12-02*

Well organized, easy to use, provides export and quick link addition. BUT it badly needs an update for larger displays (max devices) and needs support for ios13 dark mode. Otherwise a very solid recipe book option

### 4/5 — Good App - Could be Great

*2019-01-01*

Love the app- but the grocery list does not upload in its entirety to my email. Big opportunity here in the era of shipt and instacart.

### 3/5 — Was a great app

*2017-10-02*

Was an easy to use App and i used it to log my homemade DIY recipes of all sorts and loved it but, can no longer add a saved photo for recipe (even though app has permission to my photo albums) nor can we take a photo with camera (has permission to do so as well, it opens camera but, screen is black so can't take pic of finished recipe). Guessing it is time to transfer recipes to another app even though didn't much care for others..

### 3/5 — Photo library broken

*2017-09-26*

Are you ever going to fix the photo library?

Loved the app but during one of your last updates, I'm no longer able to insert a picture stored on my iphone or iCloud. It would be wonderful to have this feature back.

### 1/5 — App

*2016-10-15*

They bang you for membership

### 3/5 — Takes so long to save a recipe

*2016-08-12*

Such a great app to keep all my recipes ! But whenever I save a recipe it's takes ever so long please make the saving option faster.

### 4/5 — A great app with a little bug

*2016-06-24*

Listen, don't get me wrong, this is the best free recipe app I've found. It's nice to be able to write your own recipes AND search for others if you need inspiration. The layout is actually nice-looking and well thought out.

It's just that the text editor drives me up a wall sometimes. Yes, it works well for typing out recipes, but trying to edit becomes frustrating very quickly. I mean, it can be done; however, trying to hit that certain spot to fix that one typo is nearly impossible. The app likes to pull you out of editing mode too quickly and will not let you press and hold to magnify and get to the spot that you need to fix. Plus, copying and pasting is a nightmare. I've got old recipes saved to my notes, you know? It's a fantastic start to a good app, but I'd love to see an update fixing that pesky little bug.

### 5/5 — Recipe editor!😄

*2016-03-31*

I was just thinking I need an app that lets me edit or create my own recipes and after a bunch of scrolling I saw the 2nd pic for this app's description advertising just that. Cute icon too. Would be helpful if they offered substitution ingredient options for butter and eggs though, but I found them easily online. The grocery list accessory is a huge help😊

### 5/5 — This app keeps on getting better

*2015-12-07*

The new coookbook functionality is great! I still can't believe this app is free :)
