### 4/5 — Good converter

*2015-03-10, version 2.5.0*

It makes for great now I want you need easier.  The ability to convert from 10 person recipe to two people is great!

### 5/5 — Simple calculator

*2013-11-14, version 2.0.4*

Exactly what I was looking for to calculate increased/reduced serving sizes, particularly since I'm just cooking for 1. Simple and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great for the holidays!

*2011-11-11, version 2.0.4*

Quite a useful app for the holiday season, as well as the rest of the year.  It's obvious a lot of thought went into the design, and everything works as it should.  With five people in our house, it's great to have an app that will convert things to our needs.  Nice work!

### 4/5 — Needs egg/egg white converter on app

*2011-11-02, version 2.0.4*

I like this app. However, I needed to figure out how many egg whites were needed to increase a 32 person cake recipe to a 50 person cake recipe & there was no option for eggs or egg whites :-(

### 5/5 — Nice

*2011-10-25, version 2.0.4*

Does what it says & looks good doing it! Latest update fixed some problems, works great now. I like that it does one ingredient at a time cause I know how to increase the simple things (1 cup tripled = 3 cups) & usually get stumped by one or two measurements. I don't want to spend extra time entering the entire recipe if I don't have to.

### 4/5 — Super Helpful App.

*2011-06-05, version 2.0.2*

This App makes cooking and baking for one much easier. Saves money and headaches!

### 3/5 — Laid out great & easy to use but can't use decimals

*2011-04-20, version 2.0.2*

When using a scale to weigh ingredients (such as 2 tsp sugar) you will be given a measurement in decimals (1.2 oz, 0.9 oz, 4.67 oz etc)
The only way to truly get accurate results in large scale baking and cooking is, of course, by weighing exact measurements from the original recipe to scale up and not "round up or down" However as great of a design this is, they forgot to allow this so taking a recipe for a product 17 oz jar to a kettle fit for a crowd via starting with the weights isn't possible.  I like this layout better but I have to use another app to calculate my conversions as this one forgot that scales that chefs use have decimals.  However if you only use tsp, T and standard  cups and not weights it works well Unfortunately, chefs do use weights in order to scale up accurately for large scale baking.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2011-01-25, version 2.0.2*

I love this app. We feed the homeless every Sunday and this app has saved me so much time in calculating my recipes. We started out feeding 35 people a year and a half later we serve anywhere between 160 and 250. And I never make casseroles so this app has helped me a ton. I have told a ton of people about it.  Thank you.

### 3/5 — Only converts one ingredient at a time

*2011-01-01, version 2.0.2*

It's confusing to put in the amount. For example: for 2.5 tablespoon, you have to type 2 then select the fraction 1/2

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2010-11-24, version 0*

Saved me a bunch of time and probably a bunch of errors.

### 5/5 — Serving Sizer Recipe converter

*2010-08-07*

As I do a lot of cooking, I found this app perfect and brilliant for my cooking needs. Easy for me to work out how much quantity to use and no more trying to work out for ages if the recipe is less or more. Very very good app and highly recommended.

### 4/5 — Love to cook

*2010-08-06, version 0*

Love this app. Looked for an app like this for a long time. No more guessing about how much of a certain ingredient I should use. Just insert serving size for ingredient, then select double, triple etc. And yup know exactly how much to add. Thanks for making this app. A true life saver.

### 1/5 — This not user friendly

*2018-05-24, version 2.5.0*

I couldn’t understand how to use it.  So I thought I would plug in what I thought it wanted. When I wanted ounces it was on teaspoons. It was a mess and frustrating. I’m sure there are better apps out there.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2016-10-22, version 2.5.0*

This application does the job, but the learning curve to figure out how to use it is much too steep.

### 1/5 — Stinks

*2011-11-08, version 2.0.4*

This app stinks.

### 1/5 — Serving ap

*2011-09-29, version 2.0.2*

Rotten. Impossible to use. Will be ditching.

### 1/5 — C

*2010-08-04, version 0*

This was listed as a free app NOT SO

### 1/5 — Not practical for reducing recipes!

*2010-07-14, version 0*

It isn't practical for reducing recipes. It read "too small" when it could have read a dash. It also changed teaspoons into ml, which I don't use. It would be nice if it went from spoon measurement to spoon measurement, or from ml to ml, etc. so measurements are common for the user. I spent $.99 for an application that claimed to convert portions and with least amount of steps. It failed.

### 1/5 — Not much use

*2010-04-02*

Useless unless it's given the ability to convert from neanderthal imperial measurements to metric.

### 2/5 — Way to hard to navigate

*2019-03-25, version 2.5.0*

I just want an app to help me reduce serving portions. This is way too hard

### 2/5 — Difficult to use

*2011-07-19*

Should be more intuitive. Can't get half, quarter measures to work. Looked for it to help me out in a pinch and it didn't.

### 2/5 — Not a good converter - Still searching for one

*2010-11-23, version 2.0.2*

Kludgy interface. Tried to increase a recipe using original serving as 1 and converted as 1.25 and the app throws all kinds of errors about the number (the 1.25) being too large!!!! and then just try to modify the error inducing value!! More errors!!! WTF?? Lamest of the lame.

Using original size of 4 and converted size of 5 (same ratio as 1:1.25) worked, but give me a break! 

Won't be getting the "pro" version as the 99¢ one is not impressive.

### 5/5 — Impressive

*2020-05-03, version 2.5.0*

I used this app for the first time today to help cut a cookie recipe down from 36 to 12. It was easy to use and saved me from making a mistake on my math. I’m very impressed!

### 5/5 — Precisely the app I was looking for!

Is a great help ... totally exactly!

### 5/5 — Can't live without!

*2016-12-06, version 2.5.0*

I use this app for ALL of my baking! It's a lifesaver....I'm horrible at math so I need all the help I can get.

### 5/5 — Excellent for recipe calculations!

*2015-07-13, version 2.5.0*

I am in the process of converting recipes to a certain amount for institution size recipes. The math was taking forever to do by hand, then I found this app! I am whizzing through the recipe calculations now, and will be finished with the menus in record time. I love this app!!!

### 5/5 — Very good sizer

*2015-06-03, version 2.5.0*

I went from 4 people in my family to one and this does help on downsizing a recipe very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Helpful for all types of conversions

*2015-01-16, version 2.5.0*

Recipes that use metric measurements can be easily converted to english units. Also great for changing the size of the recipe.

### 5/5 — Great Kitchen Tool

*2014-11-21, version 2.5.0*

I love this app!  I use it all the time to accurately calculate increases or decreases in recipe size. A must have for any cook!
