After spending 2 hours inputting pantry, recipes and extras on my iPad, it doesn’t copy over to the phone app ### 2/5 — Deleted all of my recipes *2023-08-17, version 2.3* I’d been using this app for a while and it seemed to be working well. I had accrued a lot of recipes and ingredients on the app as well as saved quotes. I came to retrieve a quote and found that it had deleted everything, to say I wasn’t happy is an understatement! Tried to contact them but no response ! ### 1/5 — Was brilliant but now doesn’t work *2022-11-27, version 2.3* I bought this app when it 1st came out. It was brilliant and helped save loads of time. It now closes the app every time you click of quotes. I’ve tried emailing and sending messages via messenger (they are read) but I’ve been ignored. Don’t waste your money ### 3/5 — Pretty happy so far *2022-08-11, version 2.3* This is a good and helpful App, but it would be 5 stars if only the developers added the ability for an iCloud sync across devices. Also, changing a recipe name does not stick. It allows you to go through the motions to change the name but immediately reverts back to the original name once you save the change. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2022-03-14* I’ve been using this app for quite a few years but now is no longer compatible with Apple’s latest update. Very disappointing as there is nothing else on the market that works as good as this app did… ### 2/5 — A basic app that could be a lot better *2022-02-09, version 2.3* For what I paid for the app I think it’s over rated. I wanted a one off payment app rather than a subscription based costing app and I thought this would do the job. I needed it to be a time saver for when it’s my admin days and to help me keep track of my recipes and costs, but also invoices etc. I spent a good hour going through everything and I have to say this app is so basic and long winded, that I am disappointed. There isn't a help section on how to use the app for one. You have to manually input all of the ingredients and costs per gram or kg which is fine to a degree but sooo long winded. You only have the option of putting how much you want per hour in settings and that’s it. It doesn’t even incorporate that into your costs from what I could tell. When you get round to creating a recipe the ingredients list is a scroll barrel you have to scroll through the whole list if you want to add something such as olives or sugar … it will take you a while. The ability to jump to the ingredient or letter would be a great addition. You will also have to input your extras such as bake time, shop time, utilities etc and you will need to work these out for yourself. Maybe a guide to, would help? I expected more from the app, my mistake. I had previously used an app called cakeulater but it is no longer available by the original creators. I had hoped there was the option of inputting a % of profit and a break down of costs per unit and whole costs. Invoice option and client details, but no. I could go on more but I won’t. I hope the developers take on board the customer reviews and update their app to actually reflect its user base requirements. I am disappointed and so I couldn’t recommend to other users. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2021-08-30, version 2.3* It keeps on crashing and does update in middle of creating a quote. Now I have tried to create this one quote from late 3 hours but it just keeps on crashing. For a paid app this is extremely unacceptable. I really want a refund. It had potential only if it worked smoothly. Only giving 1 star because there isn’t an option for zero stars. Very disappointed, refund me please . ### 1/5 — US version *2020-08-23* It would be nice to have the option to be able to make ALL fields US!! Not everyone that bakes is from England! ### 4/5 — App keeps closing when open quotes *2020-06-21, version 2.3* Hi I’ve tried contacting through email, which comes back not known... app is amazing but keeps closing every time I click onto my quotes... please help!? ### 3/5 — how to change currency *2020-05-05, version 2.3* how can i change the currency? ## Frequently asked questions about Cost A Cake Pro ### What does Cost A Cake Pro do?
