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. ### 3/5 — Export from iPad NOT syncing *2018-08-01* 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! ### 5/5 — The Best app *2018-03-01* Im very thankfully for this app is the best app on recipes love it ### 5/5 — Great for sharing *2018-02-16* 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. ### 3/5 — Half American Half European *2017-10-29* 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. ### 5/5 — EverythingI ever wanted. *2017-08-05* Just downloaded this after considering others. This app offers a really great way to keep a neat record of your OWN recipes in a digital recipe book format. You can generate PDFs and mail your recipes if you want. You can print them, add photos. It's hard to think of anything that hasn't been thought of here. So far, I love this app. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed!! *2016-11-21* I call my parents and in-laws just about every holiday season with the same questions because I'm a procrastinator and don't ever just write down the recipes they give me. Well no more! This app is awesome! Easy to use and looks classy. You can input your own pictures of your creations or just use pictures from the recipes if you get them online. I've used this a lot since downloading it. And I love that it gives the feel of an old family recipe book but without the clutter! ### 5/5 — Nice, Simple & Beautiful *2016-07-25* I love the ease of copying and pasting ingredients, importing pictures, pulling info from Google docs. The entire integration is quite nice. This app is totally iced. It will even read the recipe to you. You don't have to calculate if you need to double, triple or reduce the quantity of the recipe the app will do it for you. If your into cooking and want to keep track of your recipes this is the app for you. It even taps into your music to play while your cooking. ICED! ### 5/5 — F,ing Awesome *2016-06-11* I love it, I love how it looks on an iPad, I love that I can export and import to the cloud to go to my other devices. I haven't tried the PDF yet but I'm sure it's great. I also think it's reasonably priced and the amount of recipes you can enter for free to test it out is perfect. ### 5/5 — Easy Creativity! *2016-02-22* This app is awesome for creating your own recipes. Easy to add and move ingredient list, great layout, easy to add pic. This will become a favorite app for me, the creative cook that often gets recipe requests from friends. And since I don't use recipes, I just "make" stuff, I can use this app to get my recipe organized for sharing! ## Frequently asked questions about Recipes Book ### How many recipes can I add to Recipes Book for free?
