Die BackApp ist eine einfache und moderne iOS App, die Dir beim Verwalten deiner Rezepte und beim Planen deiner Backtage hilft. Die BackApp verwaltet Deine Rezepte und ermöglicht es Zeitpläne mit den richtigen Zutatenmengen und Temperaturen für den Backtag zu erstellen, außerdem kannst Du Rezepte exportieren und importieren um sie an Freunde oder Bekannte weiterzugeben. Rezepte werden mit ihren Schritten und Zutaten erfasst. Zusätzlich können Schritte andere Schritte als Zutat haben. Dies ist zum Beispiel für Vorteige nützlich. Die BackApp berechnet dir die notwendige Temperatur von Schüttflüssigkeiten, meist Wasser, unter Berücksichtigung der Raumtemperatur. Zusätlich gibt es auch automatische Zutatenartenerkennung bei häufigen Zutatennamen Mit der Planungsfunktion kann man entweder vom gewünschten Fertigstellungszeitpunkt aus oder auch von einer Startzeit die Zeit- und Mengenplanung eines Rezepts erstellen und dann exportieren. Die BackApp erstellt dir dafür einen Zeitplan mit Schritten, Daten und Zutaten basierend auf deinen Eingaben. Hierbei werden auch die Zutatenmengen für die gewünschte Anzahl an Broten, Brötchen, etc. … errechnet. (z.B gibt es ein Rezept mit Mengen für 10 Baguettes, man möchte aber lediglich 2 Baguettes machen)

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Back App at none against Bread Baker's 2. Back App also leads on ads (none vs shown). Bread Baker's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 14 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
