### 5/5 — Best Recipe App!

*2018-02-21*

This is the best app I’ve found for extensive online recipe searching, and I’ve tried A LOT of different recipe apps. Such a time saver because it offers comprehensive search results from so many different sites in one place. The app support team is super responsive to emails in my experience, too. Twice over the last few years, I’ve had some issue pop up after an update, and both times I’ve gotten a very courteous email response AND a bug fix within roughly 24 hours of emailing them directly from the developer site. This app is a must-have for anyone searching for online recipes!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2016-10-07*

App no longer works. All search terms give "no results", even search terms that provided tons of recipes in the past. On top of that, all the instructions and help info are now written in a confusing polyglot of bad English, German (??), and Chinese/Japanese characters; it was strictly English before. Another app that seems to have been either hacked or taken over by another company that doesn't care.

### 5/5 — Best Recipe Finder App!

*2014-12-04*

This app can locate multiple web sites for just about every dish imaginable.  This app allows you to enter any type or kind of recipe.  You can also filter your selections by the number of calories and preparation time.  I can now eliminate most of my recipe apps and use this one.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2012-09-11*

I thought using this would be easy, type in an ingredient and wallah  you have a recipe to go with it. Not in my case. I could not get it to work. I gave up and deleted it.

### 3/5 — Annoying

*2012-07-17*

It's Kees crashing when I search or reading a recipe, please fix!!!!

### 5/5 — Replaces Epicurious in my Kitchen

*2012-07-09*

My cooking ranges from Mediterranean, Latin American, to Middle Eastern and North African. Heretofore I've relied heavily on Epicurious to find recipes to reproduce my childhood memories of meals enjoyed.  A search on Epi can be laborious & frequently fruitless (no pun intended).

This app is multi-lingual, incredibly fast, and comprehensive.  Although I'm sure I'll continue to use Epi (especially for the recipe user comments), Recipe Search will be my first choice.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-07-09*

Does exactly what I need!

### 4/5 — Recipe App

*2012-06-09*

This has been a huge help for any cook. I love that I find almost any recipe at my fingertips.  I also love that I can search with a single ingredient and find recipes to use with it. I just discovered the voice command and that should be helpful when I am  in the middle of something and cannot stop.  This is one of my most helpful apps.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-04-06*

Gotta get this

### 5/5 — Best recipe app ever!

*2011-11-17*

When I first saw it I thought "I don't need a link to the Internet. I could just use Google." That is not what it is. It pulls recipes with your exact ingredients you have...and puts it in the cute easy to read folder. This will help you use the food you already have on hand. I tried doing the same with other apps that say they do this, but this is the only one that found me recipes for my exact ingredients.
