The Recipe Box - Your Kitchen, Your Recipes

I have been using this app now for a couple of years and I love The Recipe Box app. I love that I can have one on my tablet and my phone and I can synchronize them. The phone app is handy when I'm at the grocery store and I decide I want to make something. I can look up the ingredients to make sure I have everything. Three things I would do to make it better are: 1. Add a version for the web so that I can enter recipes via my laptop. This would be very handy for entering my hardcopy recipes. I can type much faster on my laptop keyboard than the tablet keyboard. 2. I know there is a workaround when the import does not work, but it feels like one version the import works and in the next version it does not. I think more extensive testing should be done with each of the sites you can import from before releasing an update. Many times if I cannot import I just won't add it to my recipe box. 3. Give me a way to export to a text file. As much as I would like to believe this app will be around forever, reality tells me that it won't. My concern is that I will never be able to export my recipes in the event this ever happens. The idea of emailing myself each recipe sounds painful.

I love most features of this app and have been using it for several years. However the latest version has two new features which are annoying to the degree that I would consider using another app if I didn't have all of my recipes already stored in this one. The new larger font is too large and gets over-crowded making for poorer not better legibility as was intended. The other is the lost of the picture and other functions (editing, bookmarking, etc) that was available on the ingredients-direction page. They were handy right there but now I have to toggle back and forth which is very annoying. Please revise back or at least give the option to chose these features.

I love this app. I cook a lot. I now have all my recipes loaded and have done away with my card file. It makes searching the web and down loading, editing, creating shopping lists, sharing and sorting recipes so easy. Best of all I can take everything with me so when I change my mind on whats for dinner, it makes it quick to put a new shopping list together. The only added feature would be having a way to double or triple the recipe without having to do the math yourself. I cook for large groups at the time of anywhere from 20-50 people and having an initial scaling would be awesome. But I am likely the exception to the rule here as this is not a common need, so I live with a calculator.

I use this program all of the time. I have not encountered any problems so far except in the beginning I was noticing additional recipes that would show up that I did not enter into my recipe box. I prefer putting in my recipe box what I want and not what someone else thinks that I should have. I removed the foreign recipes and to my knowledge (I have not checked recently) I do not have recipes in my file that I did not put there. This is a great program and I no longer loose the fun and delicious favorites. I love that you can add photos of the recipe and you are able to share the recipes as well. Thank you for doing such a great job.

Updated review: App is no longer supported or updated. It’s been 3 years since last update. I found another app which is just as good and it imported all of my recipes (200+) easily. Plus you can import recipes from almost any web site. Finally, the app continues to be updated and customer support responds quickly if you have any questions or problems. The name of the app is Recipe Keeper. With iOS 13 coming out who knows if The Recipe Box will even work. I have given up on Recipe Box completely. It was great years ago. First off, its a good app. Second, and most important, mine developed an bug and said it was importing pictures just this once. Just like after the last update. It then crashed and stopped running. I contacted customer service several times with no response. I paid for an app that will not work. So, if it works fine. If it ever develops a problem...your finished!
