### 4/5 — Great App!

*2018-12-18, version 1.10*

I work as a chef and use the app to keep track of base recipes and new recipes that I develop on the fly.  Once you add and/or edit a few recipes and fine tune your categories, it’s super easy to use!  Could use a few tweaks, like a place to enter recipe yields, maybe in a future update!

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2018-04-08, version 1.10*

Nice and clean looking app, was exactly what I was looking for. 
Editing a recipe can be a bit buggy. Sometimes a step or ingredient will disappear when moving them up or down but otherwise it works fine.
Also, would like the ability to change the colour of the green bar in the recipes tab to something else but that’s my own personal taste.

### 2/5 — Good idea, buggy app

*2017-09-28, version 1.10*

Good for simple recipes. Interface is basic and clean.

However, this app has a number of problems and limitations:
1) For recipes with many ingredients, entries will get duplicated or incorrectly captured as another ingredient.
2) When re-ordering ingredients list, entries will get duplicated and are captured as another ingredient.
3) No import function, need to manually type in. Ok for simple, basic instructions, terrible for tiered instructions.
4) Photo-alignment is silly. Uploads are scaled in portrait, files are viewed in landscape.

### 1/5 — No way

*2017-09-28, version 1.10*

No way to get pictures of my hundreds of recipes to the app!
I tried it but it failed! 
Buyer beware

### 4/5 — It’s Simple!

*2017-09-27, version 1.10*

Simple can be good! It’s a good way to get your recipes on your phone or iPad. It’s easy to use, just add the ingredients then add the directions step by step. Hit Save and you’re done. It appears that you should make sure you have everything right before you hit Save. I don’t think you can edit the recipe after you have saved it. I might be wrong but I didn’t find a way to edit it after saving it.

### 1/5 — Still no data export

*2017-09-27, version 1.10*

Pro's:
- Pretty app 

Cons: 
- no export of all recipes in one go (e.g. if you need to stop using this app, maybe because you prefer another one, or maybe this one gets abandoned, you will want to move your recipes somewhere else, like maybe a new app — but if you have, let's say 100 recipes, and it takes you 5 mins to copy them one by one, it will take you over 8 HOURS to copy the 100 recipes! But if you could automatically export them all to CSV file, and maybe PDF, you would be finished in less than 1 minute!)
- no backup (e.g if you accidentally changed or deleted a recipe, you cannot get it back)

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2016-10-26, version 1.9*

I like that I can add all my own recipes, but there should be support for inputting recipes, whether from an email or taking a photo of a recipe, or importing from a website.
 Also, when your ingredient list is long, as in one single ingredient, you can't see the rest of the line that you wrote! For example, one of my ingredients is listed: "3 medium jalapeños, seeds and membranes removed, finely diced" but on your app, it cuts off the word membranes and won't show you the rest of what you wrote. Your directions don't cut off at one line, so why do your ingredients? This is really annoying.
There should also be a place at the top for you to list how long prep time is, baking/cooking time, and how many the recipe serves.

### 2/5 — A good start

*2016-10-07, version 1.9*

This app has potential and with the addition of recipe name and a notes field could become very handy. Unfortunately at the moment it is not intuitive or useful

### 4/5 — Beautiful app

*2016-08-21, version 1.8*

Beautiful application. Easy to use. I suggest to add the following features. 
-To be able to sort the categories by alphabetical order or else. 
-To add other category in the recipe such as: preparation time, notes
-To add the sub-category in the ingredients section. 
-To be able to print the recipe. 
-That the application works also on the iPad and on iCloud.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2016-07-30, version 1.8*

I like this app it have a lot of features and have a nice design.
