Let's add your newly cooked menus, or menus served for you! Each menu in the "List" page has a chart that shows how many times and when you used the menu. By using "List Period" or "Served Times" filter conditions, it easily shows the menus that you haven't cooked recently. By using "Search Words" filter, it can show a list of menus that you can cook with what you have in your refrigerator. In "Communication" page, you can send candidate menus of today's dinner to your family members, and you can receive a chosen menu from them. In "Public" page, owners of restaurants or individuals can show their menus to the application users. Without login, the application users can see the public menu lists. Tutorial videos are available from Help in the application.

Traveling or living in Korea? K-Bap helps you read any Korean menu and order with confidence. SCAN A KOREAN MENU, READ IT IN YOUR LANGUAGE Point your camera at a menu written only in Korean. K-Bap translates every dish into your language, and it goes beyond the name: tap a dish to see what it is and what goes into it. NO PHOTOS ON THE MENU? WE SHOW YOU Many Korean restaurants have menus with nothing but Korean text. Scan one and K-Bap shows photos of the dishes it recognizes, so you know what you are ordering. SAFE, CAUTION OR AVOID, AT A GLANCE Tell K-Bap what you can't eat. Pick from 81 ingredients, including allergens and dietary needs. Every dish is checked against your list, including ingredients that are easy to miss in Korean food, like salted seafood (jeotgal) and fermented sauces (jang). REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU Read reviews of each dish from people around the world, or filter to reviewers from your own country to see what fits your taste. KNOW HOW SPICY IT IS Every dish shows its typical spice level, so you can skip what's too hot for you. ORDER IN KOREAN, NO TRANSLATOR APP NEEDED Pick your dishes and K-Bap makes an order screen in Korean for the restaurant owner, including what you can't eat. Just show your phone. SHARE WHAT YOU ATE Turn your Korean meal into an Instagram story with the photos you choose. Available in 10 languages. Risk labels are guidance, not medical advice. Always confirm with the restaurant.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Menu at none against K's shown. K's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 37 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
