Monthly fee
A one time fee would be easier to manage. Paying a subscription for copyrighted material I already own? The convenience does not outweigh the price. Offer a “ lifetime” one payment option.
Fricking game changer!
I have so many cookbooks and yes, I know where some of my favorite recipes are but a lot I do not. I would say out of 200 cookbooks. The app had 85% maybe 90% of them indexed. I requested indexing with all the rest of them, we’ll see if it happens. But now I just add a search for an ingredient and then all of the recipes from all of my books come up and I get to choose. It is so easy now. I have Kindle cookbook and physical cookbook and I was able to find most of them and add them to my shelf. I love this app so so much my other favorite app is ReciMe! The only downside is, I guess I have no excuse to not to cook at home.❤️

Obsessed with this app
I am an avid cookbook collector and curious home cook. I have over 75 cookbooks, and this app has transformed the way I interact with my beloved books. If you have ever been over-eager at the farmers market, but then get home and wonder, “ok, what can I make with this __”, all you have to do is type the item in the search and the app offers all the recipes in your books, what page they are on and ingredients needed. If you want to make a frittata, you can search for all the recipes to choose from in your library. You can bookmark recipes, read reviews, and see photos from other users. I am now reaching for my books more often, discovering new recipes, and truly diving into my book collection (vs being overwhelmed or forgetting where to find recipes). It’s easy to add books by scanning the bar codes. Such a great app!

Not worth it
This app came highly recommended by a friend so I gave it a chance. I should have done better research. It’s basically just a glorified search of (some of) your cookbooks. Not all of mine were indexed. I know how to use a table of contents, so I don’t need this app. I incorrectly assumed my phone would replace my cookbooks, and that I could view recipes on my phone. I don’t want both my phone and a cookbook, it’s just an extra unneeded step. Unless you have a ton of similar cookbooks, save your money and just scan your the indexes and tables of contents in your books with your eyes instead of your phone.

Best tool ever for cooks
My cooking life changed when I started using this app. I have about 250 cookbooks. I love them on my shelf, love the kindle versions, love everything about them. Except when I cant remember which one had that recipe that I now can find. Has not happened since I started using this app. And I’ve rediscovered some books that I forgot all about. It’s perfect for ensuring I get the best use out of all my cookbooks, as well as keep track of what I’ve cooked, my favorites and notes.
