Quite useless on iPhone or iPad for scanning recipe

You cannot scan a recipe on an iPhone or iPad. You are unable to drag the frame at all.

Unable to verify my account

The app has requested , in order for me to be able to use this app , that I verify my account. I have repeatedly asked the app to send the verification email. I have never gotten it. I have checked all my emails and my junk folder it’s nowhere to be found. Therefore, I can’t use this app . I’m glad I am not paying for this app. I’m gonna delete it until they get this bug fixed. I contacted customer support, but I haven’t heard back.

Great APP Over all but….

Once I had logged 3 or 4 recipes I could no longer add any more and they want me to “verify my email” but I clicked the link to Resend but NEVER received one single e-mail. It is too bad as I have already started sharing how great it WAS - Guess I won’t recommend it anymore

Can’t enter copied text, must use photo or enter each item manually

I have many recipe files in Word. This app won’t let me copy the ingredients and paste them. It requires keying in each item separately.
The calculations from uploading a photo of the recipe seem very inaccurate. It’s very difficult to delete an alternative item added to the ingredients list improperly from the photo.

Works as advertising

When i saw all the poor reviews i was hesitant to download the app. However, i noticed that most are very old so i would try it out.

So far it has worked completely as advertising and is very easy to use. Perfect for what i was looking for and it didn’t cost any money for what i needed

Accuracy seems off

I input my own recipe using 5 tablespoons of paprika. Paprika is a highly nutritious spice more so in my opinion than turmeric. I purchased the upgrade in the breakdown the paprika added no nutritional value so I know that is untrue. It was easy to use it probably has some accuracy but it needs improvement. I’m thinking it’s not calculating anything nutritionally on spices.

Hopeless

You cannot remove an ingredient from the list and if there is no alternative you are stuck. Hopeless.

A must have for weight loss and WW especially

I’ve been struggling with weight loss for years but recently got on the WW grind. This app is a MUST for anyone trying to lose weight especially if you’re on WW. Being able to screenshot recipes and get a WW points total seconds later is amazing. This helps me figure out what the actual healthy recipes are.

Excitement turned to major frustration

I tried using this app for one recipe from a photo. 1 1/2 pounds of leeks showed up as 15 pounds of chicken (and the app wouldn’t let me change it to leeks). There were multiple other mistakes, but the hassle of correcting all of them made it totally not worth it.

Good concept. Lil tweaking needed

I’m a label reader! Oddly enough I enjoy figuring out the nutritional values. A friend asked for help on healthier meals and I thought his would be a great place to create original personalized recipes and share the ingredients/ nutritional info. Unfortunately the app does not allow sharing or copying. I also found some of the foods are way over the calories or just not available. There is a place to add new foods and input all the info yourself. If I could share or copy recipes I would definitely purchase. If your new to healthy choices this is a great lil personal recipe book if you don’t mind double checking the values.

Thank you so very much for your kind words! So glad you enjoy the app. We would absolutely love it if you could share some examples on which ingredients' values seem off to you so we can investigate that. Feel free to reach out at info@recipeiqapp.com! Thanks again, Your RecipeIQ Team.

AWFUL DATA BASE/WORSE FUNCTION

App often freezes, does not pick up data correctly from recipe links, flat out crap. You’ll need to double check data collected when copying/pasting recipes to be calculated.
Things like quantities are crucial to calculation yet this app routinely screws it up besides the wrong ingredient altogether.
You would be better off using a calculator

Sorry you had a poor experience with our app. Would you be so kind to email us at info@recipeiqapp.com? We'd like to figure out why it isn't functioning properly on your device and resolve the issues as soon as possible. Hope to hear from you soon! Your RecipeIQ Team.

Very Nice App

I have had good luck with this app and entering my home cooked recipes. It is very easy with either taking a photo of the ingredients or entering the website. Very Impressive! I do wish it would be made into at the least an ipad app or mac app. I find it difficult to use on my iphone - it's too small. I will continue to use this app and did buy the year subscription. I hope they consider an ipad version it is worth it.

I wanted to add a downside is you cannot see the entire line of the item for which you are searching which is very inconvenient. In order to properly calculate you need to have all of the information.

Easy to use but inaccurate

I was very excited about this app and thought it would help calculate nutrition values to manage type 1 diabetes. But I began to be suspicious about the values I was getting compared to my own calculations from the ingredient label, they were way off! I contacted the company and to their credit they engaged in a lengthy email exchange regarding the problem. But ultimately they argued with me and told me I was doing it wrong and did not correct the errors. I would not recommend this app because the nutrition values are wrong! I would love an easy to use app that had accurate values to help manage my diabetes.

Pretty close and easier to use...

I’ve tried a couple apps for calculating nutritional info. This one is pretty accurate when compared to the WW app. Within a few calories and points are calculated correctly most every time (or are pretty close...if it’s off, look at what you have entered). I like it for the ease of entry compared to the WW calculator; the Instanutrition and others I have tried. I’m primarily typing in the ingredients...I know you can snap a picture, edit the photo and do a couple things and it will calculate...but once you get use to it, it’s pretty easy and quick to just enter by hand. Thanks!

User Friendly but not Comprehensive

This app is super easy to use and offers multiple, easy ways to calculate a recipe. However, it only calculates calories and macros. It would be nice to have more details around sugar and fat. Searching ingredients can also be kind of frustrating, many are very technically named or hard to search- arborio rice for example is "rice, short grain, whole"and SKUs can't be scanned to avoid this which is annoying. If you can accept a general idea of your nutrition, it's a great app!

Thank you for your feedback, Jess_K! We actually do provide details on micronutrients. Please click on Plate/Pie chart looking icon under the ingredients list in your recipe to see them. You might also be interested in purchasing our premium version which calculates the exact amount of those micronutrients for any given recipe. As for the searching feature, it can be tricky sometimes, yes, and that is why we will be improving it in the future. So stay tuned! Feel free to reach us at info@recipeiqapp.com if you have any questions! Your RecipeIQ team!

Where’s the fiber ?

Would love to see the fiber calculation on my recipes, but it doesn’t prove that info.

Not Accurate

I was disappointed in the accuracy. I need something that I can put my recipes in and have it give an accurate count of the nutritional value. I like the ease of use BUT the nutritional value is way off. My husband is type 2 diabetic and I want to give him home cooked meals. Many recipes that I want to do don’t provide the carb count and that is extremely important in his case; along with all the other nutritional values.

Hello Christi! Thank you very much for your feedback. We have recently released a new version with fixed calculations so the values should not be off now. Please try the latest build and see if it works better for you. If you still experience any issues, do not hesitate to reach out to us via info@recipeiqapp.com. Thanks again, Your RecipeIQ team.

Question re: adding fiber

I really need to have fiber added to this app in order for it to do what I needed it to do for keto diet and I kind of feel like you should know that if you are catering to keto diet. Is there any way that could be done?

Hello katpurr! Thank you for your feedback and rating. If you open any of your recipes and click on a pie chart-looking icon on the bottom, you will see fiber values amongst all the other nutritions. Hope this helps! If anything, do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@recipeiqapp.com

This is a pretty neat app.

It is intuitive and relatively easy to use. With little effort I got comprehensive nutrition results for my recipes. I love it, works well without in app purchase however, I have picked up the monthly plan for more detailed information on individual ingredient details within results

Could be 5 stars if...

The concept is awesome, but the execution? Not so much. I tried uploading recipe photos with very common ingredients but many foods were not recognized, probably because the database descriptions do not jibe with common recipe nomenclature. The database is cumbersome, with too many basic foods such as eggs, shrimp, flour not recognized and then needing to look them up, then having a hard time doing that.
