Terrible!

Worked when I first downloaded a few years ago , I loved it, but then recipes are all jumbled up and unreadable! I deleted and reinstalled. Lost all my recipes, and the sample recipe they give is all jumbled and in readable. Very disappointed. I loved this app at first. Just horrible

Really good

Really good app. Keep things organized and well.

Could have a search by ingredients

Wish I could share recipes

I used to love this app but I am disappointed that I can no longer email recipes from the app.

Otherwise I really enjoy using this app

Great app!

Wonderful way of compiling recipes! I use mine as a cookbook of ideas.

Import recipes

I have been using this for years. I don’t normally pay for an app. But I really liked this one. A few months ago it stopped working as expected and I had to start putting the ingredients in the directions. I finally reached out to support. And I was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal response assuring me that they were working on the issues I mentioned then about 2 weeks ago I received another email letting me know there was an update to resolve those issues. And in fact those issues were resolved. I still have issues importing ingredients from directions but so impressed that I can now have my ingredients in the right spot. Btw I did try other apps. And this is hands down the best.

Easy to Use App

I’ve used this app for at least 5 yrs. Have had no problems until recently. I used to be able to send a recipe via email. That portion of the app no longer works.

Problems please help

Love this app! I have noticed a problem recently that I cannot edit my recipe ingredients. The list of items only partially opens up not enough to function properly. I can type a new recipe or copy and paste but I do not relish the thought of re-entering all of my recipes.

Please advise if there is something I am missing.

Thank you for your time.

The idea and layout is good but fix the bugs!

I have been using this app for years but I find that it’s bugging out too much now and I will most likely change recipe manager app.

I do love this app BUT,

It is not user friendly. If you forget an ingredient and want it in order, you need to erase everything you wrote after, you can’t just slide it in. Also, when writing ingredients it would be helpful if it automatically goes to alphabetical list.

IOS 17 problems

When I added IOS 17 to my ipad the Recipe Mgr app had problems. First, the app would crash if I tried to print a recipe. Second, when I created a new recipe I could add the first item but couldn’t with subsequent items. I love the app and hope the trouble will be resolved quickly. Thanks

Love it

I really do love this app, I have used it for all my recipes. Unfortunately I can’t write up any more new recipes since iOS 17 ☹️

This is not as advertised

Been trying to import from various websites and nothing works. App keeps quitting while trying to import from web. I’ve tried over 10 different web sites including the recommended internal to the app. Also, it is not user friendly when you copy and paste from elsewhere. Don’t believe the hype.

Love it

I have used this application for years and have recommended to friends and family.

Love it!

Worthless

I have yet to be successful importing anything into this apple by any of the methods available. Itdoesnot recognize imorts from any websites or from plain text pastes. Worthless.

Useful but has become outdated

Great app for having recipes always available. Easy to share recipes, but not easy to import recipes from another user. Recommendations to developer: 1. Allow all storage to be in the cloud and automatically sync between devices aka photos. 2. Allow users to transfer a recipe via email or message and then be imported without typing into receiving device. 3. Make app available for iPhone. I frequently do not have my iPad with me but I am never without my phone. Updated 11 Feb 2021: This app has become increasingly out dated. The failure of the app to store data in iCloud and allow automatic interchange of data between platforms. The creator’s comment that they have another iPhone app and data can be copied manually just doesn't cut it. If you haven’t bought this app and invested years if time adding recipes, then don’t waste your time on this outdated and limited app. Look elswhere.
4 October 2022: When importing recipes, this app frequently puts several of the recipe items into the directions. If I had not been using and adding recipes to this app for over ten years, I would ditch it.

Not bad

Have been using this and depending on it for awhile now. Really like it - but would love if the photos could be enlarged.

Not bad

It’s a pretty good app, but there are some shortcomings. Some improvements would be in order.

PROS
- All recipes are in one place and organized 😊
- I like to copy recipes from Facebook, but I just paste the whole thing under the Directions — too time consuming to pick quantities and ingredients from the left side of the screen. 😞
- You can access your recipes without Wifi😃
CONS
- It’s very cumbersome and time consuming if you’re typing in a recipe from scratch, entering all the quantities and ingredients on the left side of the screen.☹️
- Once a recipe is in Recipe Manager, you can’t copy the text and paste it into another app (such as a text msg or Messenger) — used to be able to, but not any more ☹️. You can only Email it from Recipe Manager.
- If you get a new IPad, the saved recipes don’t transfer across to the new device… so you have to somehow save your recipes (possibly email them to yourself) and start all over again☹️.

App

Once I got the hang of using it, I really enjoy. Just wasn’t thrilled that I had to pay $6.99 for app, when all my friends who have the identical same app, paid nothing.

Could be a little better

Using the app is difficult at times. The app will turn off while entering data and doesn’t have a back up if you accidentally delete a recipe you are working on.

Still needs work

The app needs a simpler method to backup recipes. Adding recipes takes a lot of time. Twice my Recipe Manager Serving Sizer entrees have been wiped out. Once, when there was a electronic problem with my iPad. The 2nd time, I don’t know what happened. I like the app...hate its reliability.
