VERY mixed opinions
If i could, I’d give it 2.5 because i like what it has, but it needs an upgrade.
First, the good:
Easy to import recipes. The automatic links mostly work, though Food Network drops the recipe name and it has to be added separately — a few other monor glitches — bu tnothing to be concerned about. The manual import works fine from every site I have tried.
By the way, if you can’t find the instructions for how to do it, if you enter [2], [3], etc. you will place additional photos at those sites in the recipes.
The grocery/shopping lists are the best of any recipe program I have seen. You can specify the aisle to shop in, ingredients (if listed PRECISELY the same way) are added together.
Search function for recipes is also very good. Searching recipes by ingredient is great if you have the iPhone or iPad app. Take it to the store with you, see what looks good, check for recipes with that ingredient, and off you go.
The bad:
The syncing is awful. A complete pain in the butt. Sometimes strange difficulties, duplicate recipes, (sort of) show up when syncing. I have had other problems that were VERY difficult to fix because of missing IMPORTANT data that screwed up the program.
My eyes are not what they used to be, and the recipe font is too small. The next upgrade is supposed to make that modifiable, but who knows when that will come out.
Which brings us to the main problem:
An upgrade to take care of these problems has been in the offing for a loooong time. On the Facebook account it mentions a V.3.0 more than 6 months ago — but so far no luck.
It might be an orphan app. — but the web site is still up and running. But that is probably relatively inexpensive as long as people ar still buying the app. at all.
The potential is wonderful, I hope the builder pulls it together.
