### 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.

### 3/5 — Good app, but...

*2011-06-03*

I really like using this app. It is really easy to add recipes by copy and pasting or typing them in.
My but is this, I have spent a good amount of time inputting recipes and have lost them all because of having to replace my phone. If and when there is a backup of recipes, I would give it a five star rating as it is what I was looking for, a recipe book I could add my recipes too.

### 4/5 — Great Program!

*2011-05-30*

I bought this program because the original iPhone cookbook app I have is next to impossible to import recipes, except for by using the MasterCook program.  I have my recipes copied and pasted into a Word document, and I wanted a program that could easily import whole recipes into the program.  I thought that this program's decription fit my bill.  And it really does!  I was able to enter more than 100 recipes into the program in less than 30 minutes!

The program does have a serious issue using the catagory feature.  If you try to add, delete, or change catagory names (either in the program or by the web interface) causes the program to crash.  I'd love to see this issue fixed.  While I have all my recipes saved on my computer, I would still like to see a backup or export feature incorporated in the program.

### 4/5 — Great but needs categories

*2010-12-30, version 1.1*

Love this, but needs to have categories to separate my recipes into entrees, desserts, sides, etc. If it could be custom that would be great!!!

### 2/5 — Deleted

*2010-06-27*

After initially being pleased with this app, I was disappointed to see no updates to improve its shortcomings. I've now switched to the app, 10,000 Recipes, which is by far, superior.

### 3/5 — Cookingallthetime

*2010-05-25*

This app allows me to tap in my list of ingredients for each recipe, which is exactly what I wanted. But, it does not allow me to input or edit off-line because my computer and my iPhone are not on the same Wi- Fi network.  Unfortunatly, I'm not computer savey enough to know how to fix that issue. Still this is what I was looking for.

### 4/5 — Shopping list

*2010-05-07*

This app would be complete if they can add a feature where you can get a shopping list out of the recipes you want to cook. That would make this is number one app for cooking

### 4/5 — Nice app. Just needs one thing...

*2010-04-04*

I like this app because it's simple and works well (I wasn't looking for an app with bells and whistles). The only thing I wish this app had is the ability to categorize my recipes.

### 4/5 — Great

*2010-04-03*

This is a great app.  I can copy and paste recipes that I've already started typing in my computer or from a webpage.  Now I can organize all my recipes that I have written down on pieces of paper or cards or printouts from the internet. After typing the recipe on the webpage it instantly transfers to my phone!  Awesome!!

### 3/5 — One thing....

*2010-03-15*

Please add customizable catagories for my recipes.

### 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!

### 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!

### 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.

### 1/5 — Do not buy!

*2011-09-25*

This app is horrible. I didn't even get to put in one recipe before the whole thing crashed. Now the app won't even open. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — DOESN'T EVEN OPEN!

*2011-05-13*

Creator should be shot for knowingly ripping us off. Has never made an attempt to update and prolly never will.
DO NOT BUY!!!

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2011-05-08*

If I could give this app a 0 I would.  I bought this app thinking that it was going to be great.  What I ended up with was a app that won't even open/launch.  I can't believe I paid 99 cents for something that doesn't even work.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2011-02-27*

What a useless application. Why did they bother developing it I have no idea! Whatever you do don't waste your time on this. Pity I can't give ZERO stars...

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2010-08-28*

Do Not buy!!!! Recipes are stored on device. So if you sync your device with say your laptop instead of your desktop, you lose everything. Or if you get a new device  The hours upon hours I spent creating my recipe book was a huge was of time. And I don't have most of the original ones to create a new one with. Terrible!

### 1/5 — So disappointed

*2010-01-29*

I had such high hope for this app! I was looking for a way to store my recipes quickly and easily on my ipod. I purchased this app, went to the web url and could not get the page to load. Tried repeatedly with no luck. I sent an email to the makers and have never heard back. Great idea, lousy product.

### 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!!!

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2010-04-03*

This is exactly what I was looking for to put recipes on my iPod. Simple and easy to use. It is great that you can edit from your computer or directly on the iPod. I am so happy that I can now have my recipes at the grocery store - no more calling my mom to see what ingredients I need to buy for dinner!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for.

*2010-03-01*

Easy to add recipes from your computer as long as you have wifi. You can just copy and paste as long as your recipes are in a Word file.

### 5/5 — GREAT App

*2010-02-22*

I have over 70 apps - this is my first review!  This is EXACTLY what it says it is!  I already had my recipes in Word - so I was able to put over 100 recipes in this app in less than 30 minutes by copying and pasting!  Be sure to turn the "sleep" off on your phone when using with the computer URL - or it disconnects!  WORTH every cent of 99 cents!!!  You won't regret it!

### 5/5 — Just what i was looking for

*2010-02-12*

Simple way of keeping all your recipes without having all the useless clutter like shopping lists, images, ... . Let's you edit the recipes either in the app or from your compiter.

### 5/5 — Great

*2010-02-04*

Great easy to use. I do loss the signel with the web but it works good need some toon ups but works for me
