The Recipe Box To Go

I’ve been using The Recipe Box ( on iPad ) for over 6 yers. It is a simple thing of beauty. The latest release has resolved some lingering hacks and it sees a result of a superb menu app. Which can be synchronised with your iPhone if you have the App on it. Importing from food websites is a simple task, though with some websites, you still have to copy and paste which is not a big deal.

This is a fantastic app. I used the one for iPad for many years and the recent update has made it easier to use. I love that you can now see a larger picture of what you are cooking. I now also have the mobile phone version which is very convenient when grocery shopping to double-check required ingredients. I have about 400 recipes saved. Well done to the app designers.

I’ve been using The Recipe Box ( on iPad ) for over 4 years. I used to be able to back up to Cloud via ITunes and also directly share recipes to my phone using a Recipe Box ( a seperate but sister app). No longer and my major source of recipes is on my iPad app. A thing of beauty but no longer an app from which I can share. Very sad.

I’m really pleased to see the app has had an update (12mths ago now) as I was concerned it was just going to die a slow death by iOS update. I’m still hoping for iCloud support to be added though to allow all devices to sync and backup. iTunes backup is apparently an option but I can’t remember the last time I used iTunes, is it still a thing? This is a really good ‘one-device’ app but it fails to take advantage of iCloud support so your recipes can be seamlessly updated on other devices. There is a wifi transfer link feature to share recipes with other devices but in my experience it is not reliable and rarely functions. It’s a good app but it could be so much better.

Have been using this app for years and love it! Easy to use and access and really easy to copy new recipes into. Have read negative comments here but really don’t understand them as I’ve never had a problem with it? Highly recommend

This is a hopeless App. Constantly causes my iPad to freeze, will not instantly import recipes. About to search for new recipe App and transfer recipes.

Will not Sync with my iPad!!!!! gave one star for the look of it!!!

Most used app. I love it

This really is the best recipe app out. The only thing I wish they would add? Ability to icloud recipes to sync between iPhone/iPad.

Love this app. Have tried other similar apps and always come back to the Recipe Box. Easy to use and easy to import recipes. They are also continuously improving the app and listen to feedback. 5 out of 5.
