I had problems adding recipes. I actually managed to get one recipe added but couldn't get any after that. ### 2/5 — Good idea, needs better execution *2011-04-23, version 1.4* This is a good idea, and I wish there was an app that did this well. Unfortunately this app isn't it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not enough *2013-01-15, version 3.2* Disappointing, deleted after 10 minutes. ### 1/5 — I'm not a fan *2012-07-04* Whenever I saved one of my recipes I could never find it and would have to do it all over again! ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2012-05-12* - when I edited a recipe it saved a copy so when I open it to view, I'm never sure which copy it will show me. - allows categorizing recipes but there aren't enough categories and one you set one or none you can't edit the choice. ### 1/5 — Yep totally useless *2011-07-27, version 1.6* Can add the name of your own recipe but can't write anything for it, what a stupid idea. Deleting ### 1/5 — Useless *2011-06-26, version 1.6* Poor app. Wouldn't even open! ### 1/5 — Recipe app with no space for directions *2011-06-18, version 1.6* With this app, all you can do is enter ingredients. I don't understand how a recipe app is the slightest bit useful without directions on what to do with the ingredients. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2011-05-12, version 1.4* Recipes available to search contain just a list of ingredients with no quantities and no method. Tried to add a recipe and found there's no way to add a method. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2011-03-21, version 1.2* Total rubbish! Don't waste your time - will not let you add ingredients for your search. Does not even search for a title once you've put in your own recipe. ### 1/5 — My cookbook *2011-02-14, version 1.1* Useless. Says to tap a button to add recipe . . . But where's the button? ### 1/5 — Very buggy *2011-01-15* Good idea, poor execution... Crashes and field chaos. Oh, by the way, you have to pay for something more, but there is no explanation of the limitations of the free version. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So far so good *2013-01-14, version 3.2* Seems to fulfill my requirements so far ### 5/5 — :) *2012-04-18, version 2.4* :) ### 5/5 — My recipe index *2011-10-08, version 1.7* Excellent program and very useful for anyone who cooks or bakes or for a potter to keep track of where their cooking or glaze recipes are located even keeps track of the page number. What a time saver. The only problem I encountered was in finding a place to download the paid version. The link in the iTunes app store -Canadian- is not active, the link that works is for the free limited version. I am looking forward purchasing the full copy so I can begin entering my recipes If you cook much and have a collection of cookbooks this is the app for you! ### 5/5 — Great App *2011-06-18, version 1.6* Love this app. Would be even better if it could be synced between phones. ### 4/5 — Great App *2012-10-26* Just what I was looking for, but can only have 3 categories unless upgraded. ### 4/5 — Handy app *2012-10-21, version 3.2* Helpful if you have a lot of cookbooks and very good support. ### 4/5 — love it but.. *2012-09-08, version 3.1* such a useful app, but can only add 6 recipes on my first created cookbook? :( ### 3/5 — Works okay *2012-12-26* I don't like it that this app puts all the recipes together and doesn't let you search by cookbook, but it's still nice to have my scattered recipe collection in my phone. I'm in college, so most of my cooking is done via the Internet and a collection of recipes on index cards. ### 3/5 — Good idea. *2012-10-29* Crush sometimes, so please fix this problem. Otherwise I love this app. Now I won't forget my original recipe ;-) ### 2/5 — WannabeCookExtraordinaire! *2011-08-03, version 1.6* So this is better then Chef's Journal! You can add the ingredients but there is no 'method' component for your recipes... What the???!!!!! Why is it so hard to find a decent recipe journal??? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
