### 3/5 — iPad und iPhone

*2026-07-30*

Ich habe die app auf dem iPad mit entsprechenden Rezepten und habe sie auf meinem iPhone installiert. Leider übernimmt die app nur 1 Rezept ohne Bild, was kann ich tun, dass die app sich synchronisiert?

**Developer response:** Hallo, bitte überprüfen Sie Ihren E-Mail-Posteingang (möglicherweise im Spam-Ordner) – wir haben auf Ihre E-Mail geantwortet und warten auf Ihre Rückmeldung. Vielen Dank!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2025-08-02*

I have had this app downloaded for a few years now, very organized and I absolutely love it.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review!

### 4/5 — Love this app but…

*2024-01-19, version 2.5*

I love having all my favourite recipes on my I-pad that I can take anywhere. I love the layout of the pages, I can put a little description and my own photo of the result, although I wish I could make the photo a ‘tad’ bigger to show off the finished piece. Also I wish I could categorise the recipe i.e cakes, soups etc. But overall…LUV IT!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-01-14*

I found that app really useful for me. Thanks

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review! I will continue improving the app!

### 5/5 — Review

*2023-10-08*

It’s easy to keep up with my recipes. And I love that I can send a recipe to my wife through text so she can see it.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review! So nice to hear that you like the app!

### 5/5 — Great app for recipe collection

*2023-05-23, version 2.1*

I have been using this app for several months now and have found it to be perfect for my needs.  I had tried many other apps before this but they did not work as well as this one has.

Layout and design are great, simple to use.

### 5/5 — Makitra

*2023-05-20*

It’s easy to use and a great reference for your own recipes

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review!

### 5/5 — Love ittt

*2023-03-02*

Very easy to use, and very simple. 

I absolutely love it, better then the other apps I tried !

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review!

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2022-10-18*

I love being able to store my recipes all at the touch of my finger but when you have as many as I do it’s hard not to be able to do a search or separate them into categories.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
Categories and Search are in the app now )

### 3/5 — I like the app/hate the sharing options

*2022-07-22*

I can’t share recipe with anyone that doesn’t have an iPhone and the app on their phone. It would be nice to just share a recipe in email form without those Stipulations. I’d even pay for it if the app included the option to do so!
I do love the format, and the option to include pictures!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
Now, since version 1.6, the app has an option to share a recipe as PDF file via any messenger or Mail app etc
