Love it BUT
I’ve loved this app for my existing cookbooks. Being able to search all your recipes at one time, and by ingredient, has helped me utilize my cookbooks more. But I have found a flaw- they don’t automatically have new cookbooks. I’ve purchased 3 new releases and none of them are in the library. You can request to have them added, but they add based on number of request and you don’t get a timeframe. That’s a pretty big issue if you continue to buy new cookbooks to add to your collection!

Too Limited
The free version is so limited it’s useless. I downloaded and signed up all excited then immediately deleted it. You can only scan in five books with the free version. I wish they had been up front that “in-app purchases” actually means a pretty necessary subscription.
So much for that
Some caveats. They do not mention where I could see it this BUT The CookShelf app does not display full recipes or step-by-step methods, nor does it show exact ingredient amounts, to avoid copyright infringement. YOU GET AN INGREDIENT LIST ONLY.
Some cookbooks in which I am interested are not present in the app. Disappointing because that means they cannot be searched. You can ask they be scanned, but that is no guarantee. Get the app only to search for that situation before buying into a subscription. Sad.

Great but doesn’t support family sharing
Everyone in my family cooks and shares our cookbooks. I wish the app subscription could be shared too - the price isn’t justified to multiply by 3-4x
Good so far
I just got this app and am enjoying it so far—but I wish more of the “feed” was people making recipes from the books I have scanned instead of just one! Not sure if there is a way to only show these or not, but kg would be lovely!
