### 4/5 — A bit sad by the change

*2020-02-07, version 2.3*

I used to be able to easily email recipes to anyone in a format they could read. When I shared how easy it was, many people went and got the ap. Now that they are required to have the ap, they don’t want it and I don’t talk about the ap.  By not forcing people to download, you ended up with more people wanting your from this cook.

### 4/5 — Love this app,but

*2019-07-13, version 2.3*

Would love the ability to increase font size.  I have low vision and use this app because I can np longer read my cookbooks.
Developers, please make this addition to your great app.

### 2/5 — ok but had to delete

*2018-07-17*

worked great at first but started crashing and deleting saved recipes.

### 2/5 — Help

*2017-04-22, version 2.0*

After the last update all the directions on how to make my recipes has disappeared. The ingredients r there but the directions r not.

### 5/5 — How do I retrieve my recipes

*2016-07-06, version 1.9.7*

Kids were on my iPad and now I can't get all my recipes that I typed in.  Does anyone know how I can get them back ?

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2015-09-09, version 1.9.7*

I love this app for storing my recipes.  I enjoying the following features: adding my pics of food, adjusting recipes to make them easy to follow,  and being able to send to Facebook & email.  If I could make one suggestion to make it even better, I would love a feature to send recipes direct to the printer from the app.

### 4/5 — Pratique et gratuit

*2015-08-17*

Bien pour enregistrer à un même endroit toutes vos recettes, vous pouvez facilement les envoyer par email si nécessaire.

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2015-03-30, version 1.9.7*

This app is a good place to store recipes especially when you get a recipe from the Internet because you can just copy and paste. But when I want to type, sometimes many of the keys on the keyboard are missing.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2015-03-20, version 1.9.7*

Great and helpful! It helps me store all my favorite recipes and the layout is really nice. I'm surprised if doesn't have more ratings. Great, definetly download if you need a place to store your recipes in. I love the picture feature too, it let's me put the picture of the exact recipe.

### 3/5 — Great potential

*2015-01-22*

The functionality and look 'n feel is hands down one of the better recipe apps out there.  However, even as an offline app, it should support iCloud synchronization.  This is a show stopper for me.

### 5/5 — Pratique

*2014-03-18*

J adore cette application pour entreposer mes recettes et on peut les chercher sur nos sites de recettes favoris via l application! 👍👍👍

### 5/5 — Categories

*2013-10-28, version 1.9.6*

I love this app. Is there any way you could add crockpot as a catagory?

### 4/5 — Good, but some bugs still

*2013-04-25, version 1.9.1*

I like the overall format of this app, but every time you tap the minus sign to remove a line item from the ingredient list, directions, or notes, it shut down the entire app.  PLEASE FIX!!!

### 5/5 — Must-have app!

*2013-03-26*

No more hunting through books and loose recipes to find the ones I need, easy to search through, note-adding function is handy, does what it says and looks great! Love it

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

*2013-01-20*

Great app - easy to use, easy to access your own recipes, does what I want it to do!

### 1/5 — YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR RECIPES!

*2024-09-07*

I have used this app for many years and had carefully entered dozens of precious, personally-honed recipes. Yesterday I transferred my data from the Cloud to a new iPad and all of my recipes are gone. I did not realize that this app was intended for offline storage only. This represents years of work on recipes that I planned on passing down to my family. Please don’t make the same mistake!

### 1/5 — So SAD

*2022-09-27, version 2.4.1*

I had ALL my recipes in this app and all of a sudden a few days ago, I try to open it and it opens and closes right away. I am so devastated….we are having a huge Halloween Party and I can’t get to my recipes!!!

### 1/5 — UGH!

*2019-09-04, version 2.3*

Really do not like this new updated version at all! Can not erase extra lines between items anymore-whole thing is cumbersome and awkward to use. This use to be my “go-to” app my actual “one and only” cookbook, now what??

### 1/5 — Froze the App Store

*2013-12-26, version 1.9.6*

This app froze the App Store at the app download page when I downloaded it.

### 1/5 — enter all

*2013-10-03, version 1.9.6*

if you select the enter all the box is in a fixed position. It still does not scroll up
tbs should be Tbs

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2012-12-10*

This application closes in the middle of editing a recipe. I had to enter things multiple times and they did not show when I did the add fonction!

### 1/5 — Rude

*2012-05-21, version 1.6*

It's fine with you having your own political & enviromental views, but its not OK to be rude to your customers about them.  Your little side note you placed in this app is what made me decide NOT to pay for this app, or any other app you might have.  I will even delete this app so you don't get the kick back for the ads.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time!!!!!!

*2012-01-07, version 1.2*

Nice idea, but keeps crashing.  Apparently you aren't going to able to print from it either.  Wasted over 20 minutes putting in a recipe only for it to crash and lose all of my input---  not very happy!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2011-09-28, version 1.1.2*

Constant crashing!  The app will open and then within a min will crash every time.

### 1/5 — Did not work for me

*2011-09-11, version 1.1.2*

When I tried to add an entry it crashed.

### 5/5 — My favorite recipe app

*2023-01-26, version 2.4.1*

I have been using this recipe manager for several years. I believe it is well designed and worthy of 5 stars. It is easy to use and fun to use. Adding recipes and a photo is simple as well as the editing functions. It is also easy to share and print recipes. Glad to see the app is still offered at the App store.

### 5/5 — Cookbook

*2020-09-19*

Si il n y as pas un maximum de recette à enregistrer ,très bonne app.

### 5/5 — Super App!

*2020-01-02, version 2.3*

I’ve been using this app for several years and would use no other. It’s so easy to copy/paste to, to organize, to search, to save back-ups, to share recipes with friends. Love the handy calculator, converter and timer. No complaints whatsoever.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-08-27, version 2.2*

This is my favorite cookbooks!

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2017-04-28, version 2.0.2*

I love your app but it doesn't upload to Facebook. Every time I try I get an error message. Otherwise it works great. I can even add photo from the web. Would be great if I could upload to Facebook though.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT!!

*2017-04-26, version 2.0*

I've had this app from its inception. It user friendly, simply copy, paste, type in, or send. I've tried other apps from time to time..but this app is close to having your own handwritten cookbook, without the struggles. Nice, neat and in one place!
    This new updated deleted ALL MY STORED RECIPES! Not good!

### 5/5 — Update please!

*2017-01-12, version 1.9.7*

I love this app but Apple is telling me the developer needs to update. It is becoming less and less compatible with the latest iPad updates.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2016-12-28, version 1.9.7*

I love this app. However lately Apple tells me that the developer needs to update the app to work well with the latest iOS update.

### 5/5 — Gramma

*2016-11-15, version 1.9.7*

Love the app, but needs to be updated for IOS7, and 10. Category doesn't work. Please don't let us lose all our hard work!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2016-10-08*

I've been using this app for years and have all my personal recipes that I has been passed down from family, friends and online. I love it and would highly recommend anyone with personal recipes to use this wonderful app. It's so easy to copy and paste into the app from any site online or in Pinterest. The only thing I wish it had was the "print" option.
