Clunky app

I have used this app for years on my iPhone. For the most part, it works well except for clearing pantry items. I often find that they pop back up after I have cleared them. I can live with that, but what is really inconvenient is not being able to sync between my iPhone and my iPad. When I download the app onto my iPad, I was only able to get some of my recipes transferred, and same thing when I add recipes on my iPad - they do not transfer to my phone. Would love to figure that out because I don’t want to have to take my iPad to the grocery store when buying ingredients. And, I prefer using my iPad when cooking so both devices need to sync.

Can’t share recipes to other devices!

The Link doesn’t work and it doesn’t give the option to email anymore.

Wonderful App

This is the best way to store your own recipes & those you copy & paste from other sources. I’ve been using it for over 15 years! But really struggling w/ new updates!!

The web search isn’t full page like it used to be.

You can’t swipe up on the web search. It closes because it isn’t full page.

Absolutely love it!

Have used it for years. Only criticism is I don’t like the new index layout on iPad. I prefer just a list not hundreds of photos to plough through.
