Worse update ever
Absolutely hate this update. Can not find anything easily. Must scroll thru every recipe to find the one I want. I’ve been saving recipes here and now they are all useless.
Recipe Box
Disappointed that it is not automatically importing recipes.
Disappointed that it does not back up like most of my apps do. Because of glitches I uninstalled and reinstalled forgetting it does not back up the recipes.
Lost all my recipes except for few that came with the app.

Why change what worked well?
I bought this app years ago and it used to be my favorite. But I don’t understand why the layout functionality was changed or why an option wasn’t included to keep it as it used to be. Now I’m frustrated every time I go to use the app as it’s more difficult to find recipes and the larger photos take up so much room. I believe most cooks and bakers don’t look for recipes based on photos, but rather based on the name or main ingredient in the recipe so why change the layout and make the photos larger? And to get support or send the developer a request or suggestion, you have to do so through Facebook - well, not everyone has (or wants) Facebook. So many features of this app are great, but not the new layout - hoping this will get changed or I likely will be looking for a new app.

Love the Improvements!
I was having some slow problems with the app, but deleted it and reinstalled it. I backed up recipes first! It now works perfectly again! I have been using this app for a few years. It became buggy, but the improvements are fantastic. Love it so much more now!
Recipe Boxer
Not happy with this version of the app. 🤬
Good, not Great
I’ve used Recipe Box for years and like it a lot. Recipes are presented in a visually appealing way and love the ability to include a picture of the result. If only the ingredient section provided the ability to have SECTION headings. I’ve tried the techniques recommended for other apps (ending a line with a colon, double “-“ and “=“ to no avail.

New format SUCKS
The new format definitely has some glitches for displaying our recipe library.
Latest Update
I love this app but dislike the last update. I like a list of my recipes not use of tabs. The tabs don’t allow the full name of the recipe to be displayed and I therefore have multiple tabs labeled the same.
Confused
Pse help‼️the app froze a couple of times so I deleted it having backed it up and now all my recipes have gone and I can’t retrieve them. iTunes doesn’t work with my iPad and I tried through the cloud like you said but that didn’t work either as my tablet has different subsections to yours in settings. I have a newly reconditioned iPad air2. I adore this app and I’m never with out it. I depend on it for my job too as I am a care worker and cook meals for the elderly.

Love this app
I am having trouble showing the recipe list by alphabet. That is to say, I would like to skip to the ‘N’s’ for the selections I have made by tapping recipes starting with N when I am stuck back at the ‘B’s’. There used to be an alphabet running down the right hand side of the screen that seems gone now.
Would also like an option for searching recipes with 2 or 3 line description and small pic. I have over 1000 recipes and it takes a lot of scrolling to get where I want to go.

Different App
This was my favorite app until it was revised and now I can’t find anything and when I do find it it’s not even set up the same. Am I doing something wrong?
Fantastic Recipe saver
I used the original version of the app for years but only a few months ago found the update. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST APPS I’VE EVER FOUND. I bake sourdough and cookies a LOT. I have probably 10 or more bread cookbooks and at least that many cookie, cake, and pie cookbooks. When I find a recipe that i really like, into this app it goes. I also download lots of recipes and the best feature of the newest version of the app how seamlessly it imports from online recipes. BTW, I spent my entire wroking career as a software engineer and manager. I would hire Kathleen in a New York minute. She clearly knows what she is doing and deserves what rewards she gets.

Great program, but…
It would be great if we could import a recipe from typed note like a flyer or newspaper clipping rather than type it manually or import a recipe from social media. I have seen other programs do that. Otherwise, I love your app
Latest update NOT great and a pain in the b…tt.
Have had this App for years and always LOVED it. Now, not so much.
Since the last update it displays recipes with big pictures but not enough space for the full name of the recipe, which wastes a lot of time where you have to click on the picture to see if it’s actually the recipe you are looking for. PLEASE go back to displaying the recipes line by line so you can actually read the (whole) name of the recipe you are looking for.
Or, at least give users the option how they would like their recipes listed in settings.
The current display looks good but is useless.
Thank you.

Super Recipe App
I have had this app for over three years and it remains the best one going. For those who like to ferret out new and interesting ways to prepare food, this should be the go-to app. The instant import feature enables me to add a complete recipe in under 10 seconds. And, the built-in set of recipe websites lets you find just the right one. The list had many sites I never heard of until I used The Recipe Box's site search capabilities. It does not come with lots of built-in recipes. That's not what it is about. It is about easily and efficiently adding the recipes you find into your single source for the food and drink you like. Want to add your own? You can.

My Favorite Recipe Source
I’ve loved this app since it started. Now, I’,m not for sure. The updates won’t let you email a recipe to a friend, won’t open so I can see Categories. Photos are nice, but not as easy accessing certain recipes. Often, like Apple, updates aren’t always super!!
Love it
I have used this app for several years and love it. However…one thing that makes it not so convenient is that it doesn’t sync between devices. ☹️ Is there any way to have this soon???
Horrible!!
This used to be a really great app. They should have kept the older version. Now every time I open it I have to first reorganize the layout and the search is harder to navigate. Pretty much everyting is harder to navigate. Too bad. I will be looking for another app.

I have enjoyed this Recipe box for years but now it is so difficult to use. If you don’t know the exact name of the recipe you can’t find it. The recipes I have put in lately I can’t find, I put in newest and it only takes me to the latest recipe I used. Please go back to what it was originally.
Update broke internet functionality
Previous to this last update, recipes could be added from Safari browser. A browser extension would open a link between whatever web page you were on and would then import the recipe. Now the only way to import from the internet is by opening the Recipe Box app and navigating to the webpage through an embedded (Chrome?) browser or by downloading a chrome extension and using Chrome as your browser. I will not be exercising either of those options. Very disappointing as this really was a really good app. Maybe someone could figure out how to keep Google’s fingers out of everyone’s business and using/selling/profiting from our browsing histories
