Best Ever Cook Book !!!
This is a great little cook book that allows you to store all your favourite recipes & cocktails. I have purchased numerous other cook books in the past and this is by far my favourite. Even does a google search for a picture to place upon your recipe. You will see what I mean once you purchase this book :))
Att dev !!! Only one issue !!!
When adding 1/2, 1/4 measurements when writing a recipe there is an error
Hard to use
This has to be one of the worst cook book apps I've tried. Really awkward and certainly not user friendly. I bought it for the promised export to PDF functionality, which can't be open on the device. Totally pointless and I'm deleting it.
Love this App
Great App which I use constantly. The new version allows a much easier addition of ingredients and preparation for each recipes.
Also very easy to share recipes with friends.
Hope the latest update fixes the importing bug!! Well done fellows.
Easy to use and great functionality
I love this app! Being able to edit online saves heaps of time inputting recipes and the shopping list functionality is great!
connection between computer and iphone/ipad
the WiFi connection is unreliable between computer and iphone or ipad (I tried both). The problem is not my WiFi, I am sure of that.
Shockingly awful!!!
Shocking game! Very dissatisfied DO NOT BUY! Crashes always on the iPhone 4 3G!!!!!!!! Hate it
Yes it's handy
I have been using this app for many months now and do love how easy it is to add recipes that I see on TV or need to jot down quickly. it's excellent that if you need to multiply the recipe it does it for you once you add how many people you are cooking for. Then add recipe to shopping list is great.
However it is annoying that I can't combine my other shopping list app together w this one.
I have too many apps all doing great things but all lacking something that another one has. Anyway.
But please make an iPad version of handy cookbook.
Pleasantly surprised
I was pleased. Its simple to use, clear to read and exactly what i was needing. Would love to be able to download recipes found online but i havent played around with that yet. I wanted somewhere to keep my fave recipes handy without needing to go online. This is great.
iOS4
I love this app, being able to enter my own recipes via PC and sync to my iPhone. I'll love this app even more if it's made compatible with iOS4!
Excellent app
This is an excellent app, and really appreciate the ability to enter recipes through the web. I have been telling friends who I know are into cooking all about it, and the only thing which would make it perfect (which is taking it further than than just being a cookbook) is also having the ability to use the recipes in the app to a menu planner to help plan menus and grocery lists for the week.
It would be useful to have the grocery list sorted into categories. Eg all produce together, all meats together etc.
All in all - a great cookbook though, and I would have to say the best that I have come across.
A couple of extra features/suggestions would be great:
- being able to add nutritional information (eg calories, fat, protein, carbs etc)
- adding a source (ie where the recipe came from, which page out of a cookbook or from a friend)
- having the units of measurement built in (eg tbs, tsp, grams etc) as well as being able to add custom measurements
- being able to separate the ingredients list into categories (eg separate out any ingredients used in a sauce or dressing in the receipe).
Loving the app though - easy way of collating all my favourite recipes from various sources, or the ones I want to try (and have all the ingredients I need with me).
