Don’t waste your time or money!!

I don’t even wanna give this app a star! I paid the $2.99 to add all my recipes and it’s only letting me add them on my phone. Not on my iPad.. I can’t even view my recipes on my iPad I have to use my phone. 😡 so DON’T I repeat DON’T waste your money. And when you try to get help it gives you a bunch of Chinese letters with numbers 404. I’ll just make copies of my recipes from the old fashioned recipe book and give them to my kids.

Export from iPad NOT syncing

I have reached out via email several times about the fact that the export from my iPad is not syncing up with my iPhone. This is very frustrating. Nobody has bothered to get back to me or address the issue. Horrible customer service!

Half the info is in another language. The measurement input won’t do fractions for some reason...

I wish they would fix these bugs because, other than the few issues (mostly the sync) I really love it!

The Best app

Im very thankfully for this app is the best app on recipes love it

Great for sharing

I have had this app for some time now and I really like it. It is so convenient and wonderful to have my recipes with me wherever I go. My daughter and I both have this app. After one of us has typed in a recipe it is very easy to share and transfer the recipe to the other person.

Half American Half European

Fractional measurements like 1 1/2 cup cannot be entered. The app converts it to 1,5 cups. I do not like decimals or commas in my ingredient measurements in recipes. Also many of the instructions, examples and FAQ are in German. If they are in English there are a lot of typos and grammatical errors. The import export feature to iCloud is very confusing. I enter recipes both on my iPad and my iPone and have no idea how to keep the two synced with either exports or imports. Once I select to use cloud, the app should automatically keep the data for recipes synced automatically with latest updates. There is no automatic rotation of the screen on my iPhone so recipes in page form are very hard to read. Steps to add the category titles could be made easier and more intuitive. Use the generally accepted word “cancel” instead of “Abort” for when user decides they don’t want to do whatever step or function is on the page. I would like a function to just take a picture of a recipe in a newspaper and add it rather than having to retype the whole recipe into the app.
