## What is iRecipeBook?

Fire up your favourite web browser on your Mac or PC and simply copy-paste your recipes directly to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Add recipes with ease from any system, website, document format, application.
This is an easy to use recipe book with unique web based remote editing feature. Remote editing requires Wi-Fi connection with the devices on the same network, but no internet connection is required, the app contains everything needed.

We've created this App because we couldn't find one where ingredients management was painless and copy-pasting my existing recipes was this easy. Keep in mind that not every web browsers are equal, we use Safari or Firefox, other browsers might have limited functionality, but let us know if you have any trouble, through our contact form on the support site.

Features we are proud of:

• search your recipes with part of the name or any ingredient, preparation step
• display recipes without the screen saver turning on
• adding modifying, deleting recipes are simple even from the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch
• backup and restore your recipes in XML format

### 1/5 — Не работает ваше приложение!

*2015-06-28*

Исправьте, пожалуйста, приложение вылетает, еще не завела ни одной категории, ни одного рецепта... Все таки приложение платное, сделайте нормально , чтоб можно было пользоваться, или деньги возвращайте!

### 5/5 — Отзыв

*2014-03-06*

Отличное приложение, именно то, чего хотелось: просто копировать в записную книжку рецепт, а не добавлять отдельно каждый ингредиент. 

Спасибо!!!

Здорово, что фотографию, сохраненную print screen, не нужно обрезать, программа делает это сама. 

Не хватает возможности добавить действующую ссылку на источник рецепта. 

И функция "Сеть"просто не работает, не грузится совсем.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2014-02-06*

This is my all time favorite app! I use it all the time! I highly recommend it for anyone who cooks and likes to copy recipes from various sites. If I could rate it higher,I'd give it a 10! And no, I don't work for the developer. I just like good apps and good recipes. It is simply the best!

### 5/5 — Удобно))

*2013-09-13*

Очень удобное приложение, не нужно набирать все в определенные поля. Копи пастю с любимых сайтов и готово!!!

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish!

*2013-03-31*

Nothing happens - can't paste recipes into it, edit button doesn't do anything and no instructions waste of money and I would like my 0.69p back please!

### 5/5 — Great recipe app

*2013-01-19*

First let me say that I really enjoy the simplicity of this app. Less is more & I neither want nor need many of the more exotic features of more complex apps. I've stored many recipes & find it easy to edit.  I especially love the remote editing. 

Two more recent problems I've had might need looking at. The recent update has left the 'always on' setting not working. Also, selecting 'choose picture from library' causes the app to crash. The fact that I'm giving this app five stars despite the bugs should tell you that I think this is basically a very elegant app.

### 1/5 — Does not match the description

*2013-01-05*

Greatly disappointed by the program. Neither the browsers Firefox and Chrome could not connect. IE connects one time out of 10, but does not display all the menu items, you can not save the recipe, add a photo or make a backup copy.

### 1/5 — quality of resolution not compatible with ipad

*2012-09-08*

I have this app on my iphone and absolutely love it as I can cut and paste recipes without having to manually add in each and every ingredient.  However, although the website says this app is compatible with the ipad, full screen resolution is fuzzy....it seems to take the iphone format and simply enlarge it rather than upgrade the resolution so it is sharp whether enlarged or the regular size.  I will give this app 5++ stars as soon as they upgrade the resolution for the iPad.

### 5/5 — No clutter

*2012-05-08*

I have wasted money on many recipe apps, the majority force you to enter the information their way.  This app is great, it syncs fantastically between iphone and ipad and has a clear, simple index and the option of computer editing together with a back up.  It is without question, the best one I have found.

### 4/5 — Love this App

*2011-12-20*

I rarely write reviews for apps, but I wanted to for this one because I see a lot of bad reviews and I think its getting the credit it needs.  Its ideal for people that like to keep electronic version of their recipies and get them onto their ipad/iphone quickly and easily.  In future updates, it would be great to have a folder syncing capability from your desktop that syncs with either word, txt, type files or the ability to export/cloud sync your recipies for people to back everything up.
