What I love is that I can annotate recipes!! Sharing is a breeze too ### 5/5 — Personal Recipe Book *2026-07-14, version 5.8* I love this app. I can share recipes including pictures along with hints/notes with my friends or family instantly ### 5/5 — Had lots of love *2026-07-12, version 5.8* Suddenly stopped working. I can access I think, but not add any recipes. Maybe there’s a limit ? It used to paste automatically, if you clicked the option, and I loved that feature. Sad to say it’s gone. Hoping I can continue to access all of the recipes I stored on this app for soooo long. Love the concept. ### 2/5 — Great way to save recipes but does not always open *2026-07-11, version 5.8* I love inputting recipes and have them all in a format that shows step by step with ingredients listed in bold font at each step. The problem is opening the recipes is hit and miss. Also, if I input a recipe on my phone, it will not always show up on my iPad. ### 5/5 — Update: *2026-07-07, version 5.8* Update 7/6/26: developers fixed the issue with the title page preventing direct import of recipes. Happy camper here with 1,200 recipes in this app! I've lowered my rating to three stars because of one change to the app. It now opens to a useless title page. This prevents me from directly importing recipes from another site. Instead, I have to save the recipes as a .pdf and then take the extra step of importing the .pdf from my Files app on my iPhone. I've emailed the developers twice and no response. I’ve been remiss for not writing a review several years ago. I absolutely LOVE this app. I use it every day for menu planning, shopping and, of course, cooking. I love having all my recipes at my fingertips when I’m at the grocery store; makes meal planning and shopping so easy! In addition, the developers have been responsive about adding new functionality and software fixing bugs. My favorite upgrade, made several years ago, allows me to print a recipe from a website and have it automatically imported into a new recipe in the app. And the resulting recipe retains the link to the original web page, so I can refer back to the author’s notes, tips, and user reviews. Brilliant! Another feature I use often is the .pdf share feature. When friends ask me to share recipes, it is so easy to do it from my phone. Thank you a thousand times to the developers. Other than social media, Recipe Gallery is my most used app. And, hands down, it is the moste useful. ### 2/5 — Love it, buuuuuut *2026-07-01, version 5.8* Love the app, except it won’t transfer to another device. I have it on a very old IPad, and when it dies I will loose all my recipes witch number around 700! If there is a work around please let me know. HELP! ### 5/5 — review of: RECIPE GALLERY - COOK BOOK *2026-06-30, version 5.3* I don’t know how I managed even shopping for ingredients for a recipe, until I got this program and installed it onto my phone! I have about 50 years or accumulated recipes, therefore, I am doing a lot of entering at this stage. One of my favorite features of this program is being able to enter your own needed categories, like vegan, dairy free, etc. ### 2/5 — Why is it so hard to open recipes?! *2026-06-29, version 5.8* I love everything about this app, but lately it takes several tries to open up a recipe ### 5/5 — Can't get to some recipes *2026-06-24, version 5.8* Keeps saying iCloud issue. Plenty of storage room on iCloud ### 5/5 — Recipe storer *2026-06-20, version 5.8* Great app. Useful for storing recipes ### 2/5 — Used to work; now I can’t retrieve recipes *2026-06-20, version 5.8* I used to be able to use this so well, but now it’s not pulling up any recipes stores in iCloud. Many of my older recipes I’ve had for years are not accessible through the app now. ### 5/5 — Best recipe app *2026-06-20, version 5.8* I’ve used this app for years. It’s convenient and I’m very happy. ### 5/5 — Can’t live without Recipe Gallery *2026-06-14, version 5.8* Recipe gallery is where I put all my “make this again” recipes. And I love how easy it is to share recipes with friends! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Saving Recipes Is A Breeze BUT Retrieving Is Another Story *2026-08-10, version 5.8* Recent use of this app has prompted me to update my review from a 5 star to a 1. When I am able to access the recipes, I still love the app. Recently, however, since they “updated”the app, I regularly cannot retrieve a recipe from my recipes but instead get an error message. This is extremely annoying when I’m ready to prepare a meal but cannot access the recipe I am planning to make. The error message says to check the “cloud”. When I check the “cloud”, it shows plenty of storage and the recipe app being saved to the account. This is unacceptable and I am looking for a new recipe app. 😔 August 2026 I love this recipe app! We recently down sized and I went through a lot of my cookbooks and took pictures of the recipes and saved them to the site and donated the cookbooks. It is ideal to be at the grocery store and be able to pull up a recipe to see what ingredients I need to make it. I love that the app sinks with other devices so I can pull up the recipe on my iPad and prepare it. No more hunting through recipe books to find the recipe I want to prepare! It is also easy to add categories to fit my needs. I wanted a category for “Helpful Hints” and it is one of my favorites. 2020 ### 1/5 — Did not Transfer Properly to New iPhone! *2026-08-09, version 5.8* I have tried all of their suggestions to get this app to work with a new iPhone. I’ve tried backups. I’ve tried restart and I keep getting the same error message saying that the document isn’t available. I’ve tried backing up the recipes as a PDF. That also does not seem to work and I cannot find where it might be backing them up to. So after many years are really loving this app I am at my wits’ end. Then I sent an email and got no response so I guess it’s goodbye to many years of recipe saving. Absolutely no idea what to do next. ### 1/5 — Completely reliant on extremely good Internet service *2026-07-28, version 5.8* Creating a recipe is super easy. Opening the recipe is beyond frustrating. If there’s even one cloud in the sky covering the satellite Internet connection it simply won’t open so the app becomes useless. ### 1/5 — Love it but *2026-07-25, version 5.8* I loved this app but and it's a big but... I keep getting a message about categories and no matter what I've done it does not fix it. And now I'm getting error messages and tells me it can't open recipes!! NOT happy! I'm afraid to do anything because I have saved a lot of recipes that I'm afraid of losing completely. ### 1/5 — No help from devs on anything *2026-07-25, version 5.8* Update: App fixed since I posted original issue and works great. I never got any response from the company though. I emailed and asked about program backup in case my iPad craps out and still never got a response. Very unprofessional. I have hundreds of recipes in this app and would hate to loose them. ### 1/5 — Lot all my recipes from the App *2026-07-19, version 5.8* I have bad review I lost all my recipes, it was over 100 recipes I can’t retrieve any of them. Would you please let me know how to have them back Thank you ### 1/5 — Still trying *2026-06-30, version 5.8* Not user friendly ### 1/5 — Glitchy at present *2026-06-13, version 5.8* 80% of the time won’t open without restarting. Frustrating! ### 1/5 — Ipad version *2026-06-04, version 5.8* I am having little luck opening any of my recipes using the iPad version. I have verified that the iCloud backup is working, and the app version is current, along with my ios version being current. This problem has been experienced for weeks, but only on the iPad version.. my iPhone version works well. I’m one of your original customers, so I have a large number of recipes gathered under your app, and would hate to loose access to any of them. ### 1/5 — Too many errors *2026-05-22, version 5.8* The app used to work fine. The last few months every time I try to pull up a recipe I get an error. If I continue to try to open it up it will eventually open with then 4-5 recipes open. Very frustrating when you are in a hurry. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-08-13, version 5.8* Great option for saving recipes.
