Best Recipe Organization
I have used several recipe organizations over the years including Microkitchen Companion, Living Cookbook, and MasterCook. All of these were top rated at one time, but are now defunct.
I had recently been using CookList since it has a pantry inventory feature that helps in menu planning and allows you to easily make use of what’s on hand to be used up. Overall, Cook’n is best for organizing and collecting recipes into several cookbooks and categorizing for cross referencing.
The ability to convert MasterCook files to Cook’n quickly was amazing. I also like the ability to sync between all devices since I use both a desktop and my phone. I have finally been able to free up counter space since I no longer need binders and cards with recipe printouts.
As others have mentioned, I received exceptional customer service support through email, but the indexed video library allows the user to easily learn about the extensive features too numerous to describe here.

One Happy Customer
Cook’n is a wonderful app, and the tech support is amazing. Thank you Pam for all of your help!
Love this app!
I am very much enjoyed having a recipe keeper that is trustworthy and easy to use. I like being able to access it from all my devices, regardless of where I am. In addition, if I have run into a problem that requires help, Pam on the support team has been exceptional! She is quick to respond to emails and she is so knowledgeable! She is a joy to work with!

FIXED-AI not always accurate
UPDATE! The fix is great! It’s back working like it should. Now just train those elves to better interpret when a recipe has variations! I’m still copying, cutting and pasting variations to a recipe into the Notes section! That’s a pain to do! If the recipe is handwritten, it really messes up the amounts and units. I’m still doing a lot of proofreading and correcting those Elf BooBoo’s!!!
I’ve scanned in over 800 recipes and lately I’ve noticed a lot of inaccurate information created by the “EI”-Elf intelligence! Ingredients left out or altered in such a way as to refer to something else!
Or simply ingredients or specific directions just left out!
It also gets totally confused and refuses to complete the recipe if it’s confronted with variations as in “3 different ways to change up the flavors!”
I’ve to totally proofread the recipes before moving on to the next recipe for accuracy!

Great Program
I am new to Cook’n. I moved my Mastercook recipes over to Cook’n because Mastercook was closing down. I had trouble figuring the process out so I emailed them and Pam promptly got back with me. She was GREAT! She walked me through each step and the transfer went through perfectly. I am just learning how to use the program, but so far I am very pleased. It will be great having my recipes on both my computer and IPhone. Thanks Pam for all of the help you gave me!

Cook’n is the best!
I had been using another app prior to Cook’n but am amazed at how much more you can do with this app. You can easily store all your recipes and always have them accessible on your phone. I use it in the supermarket or for sending recipes to friends. There’s nothing like it. I would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic Recipes Program
I love this program! I previously used MasterCook and liked it, but Cook’n is a whole ‘nother level! There’s so much to it, but it’s still easy to learn. And here’s the bonus. If you do happen to run into a question, customer service is ON IT. No chatbots or techs you can’t understand. Almost instant personal interface until your issue is resolved. Priceless.

Great features
Easy to use. Capturing recipes is so simple.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying Cook’n and finding it easy to use. We especially love hearing that capturing recipes is so simple. Happy cooking!
When in doubt, Customer Service will help you out
I’m not real good at computers, but customer service took their time to help me figure out what I needed. They gave me more time than I needed to figure out how to upgrade Cook’n and they helped me with my Cloud account. Thank you for your great help.
GREAT APP!!!!!
I’m fairly new to the app but I’m thrilled with it! It’s so easy to use and organize. Customer service is top notch. I had a small issue using my watch with the app and they resolved it super fast. Very friendly communication with Pam and she took care of everything. I highly recommend Cook’n!!!

Old version better
Since the update, it takes longer to scroll down to my personal cookbook. The photos are not needed. Please add a list option. And it would be nice to be able to order the cookbooks manually so I can put my favorites at the top.
Kinda clunky right now.
Program is awesome, but I liked the app better before.

Worst update ever
I have been a long time Cook’n user. Before this update it was so seamless to copy a recipe from online and paste it directly into the app. Because of this update, the format to every recipe I have is messed up, and requires me to manually input every single ingredient instead of just copy and paste. This has turned a usual 1 minute process into 5 minutes of manual input per recipe. I won’t be using Cook’n anymore.

Fabulous Software
I have been using this software for probably 9 years or more. I absolutely love it! When grocery shopping I can whip open the app and make sure I have in my cart all of the ingredients necessary to make each recipe. And the ability to scale the recipe to accommodate the number of servings I want each time, is a huge plus.

Best Recipe App
I've been using Cook'n for years. Couldn't live without it!
The best ever
I love love love it !!!
Amazing app
I love this app. Cook’n is awesome. The software is constantly being upgraded with cutting edge AI features that actually make a difference. Customer service is second to none-truly impressive. I was so happy with it that I just upgraded to the family plan so I can share it with my daughter. Highly recommend!

Holding recipes hostage
Been a free subscriber to this app for over six years. All of a sudden I can’t access my recipes unless I pay $4.99 to download them. Ridiculous!
Absolutely- the BEST recipe app
I love Cook’n app.i have been using for several years and find it to be very user friendly, powerful, flexible and robust. It is constantly evolving , getting better and better all the time. My most favorite feature is ‘scan’ as I have collected recipes from magazines, newspaper, classes, friends and family for decades. I can now easily search or review recipes rather than spending too much time looking. Secondly, sharing a recipe is a snap via text or email. The subscription is well worth the nominal price - I would be devastated if I lost my collection. Thank you DVO.

Cook’n
I was a little worried when this company took over Mastercook but it turns out this is way more advanced. There’s a little bit of a learning curve to get the settings how you want them,but man is it cool once you get it set.
Helpful
I purchased Cook’n recipe keeper to help me stay organized in my bakery. So easy to look up recipes and import them.
I had a few struggles at first, but the tech support was patient and so helpful. Love it!
