Ok this is a new review. I've up'ped the stars to four. Make one list for everything. Frig freezer pantry garage frig etc. I used Siri. It was very quick. I just looked in each location and told Siri.

The more complete your list the better. Save your list - I called mine - my kitchen.

I got back some good recipes. It'll be five stars when all the recipes have data. A few had names but no recipe info. At least there was a pop up note apologizing saying this is being worked on. It's probably a connection issue between websites. But it'll be great when this connects with allrecipes.

Wack

Is not giving me recipes for what I have in my kitchen. The things they gave me have nothing to do with what I have. Waste of my money & time.

Don't throw away your money!

A $2 app that loads content slowly, only to receive an error message on every recipe stating, "no content", and then getting kicked out of the app. I want my $2 back!

Awesome!

Nice app and great features.

Cool Ap

I can't stand grocery shopping, my procrastination leaves me with a bunch of odds and ends in the fridge at the end of the week. Finally, I can just punch in whats left-over in the fridge and get a recipe for what I HAVE and not what I could have if I went to the store and picked up more. It makes cooking easier!
