Limited

I like the apps ability to calculate the needed calories, etc. for the recipes, but I find the ingredient list very limited and the custom ingredient set up is confusing and not easily edited. The process of entering the recipe becomes, for me, extremely frustrating.

Fabulous

This works great! Everything in one place. I love it! I am in maintenance with Ideal Protein and was surprised to see all the Ideal Protein meals in the data base of foods.

Love the changes but crashes sometimes

Updated version is broken

I used to love this app because it kept my recipes and nutrition counts together. Now it doesnt give correct nutrition for old or new recipes. Plus, it does strange things when I try to sort ingredients. Please fix!

Clunky

This app is very clunky and even when Im trying to add an ingredient to a recipe, if I scan the barcode it defaults to adding it to my daily intake and gives no option to add as an ingredient. What a waste...

Complete waste of money!!!

Used to really like this app, but now after spending too much time entering my own recipes it gives completely inaccurate calorie counts. (If only 1/2c of butter only had 8 calories...) It no longer does the one thing that I purchased it for! Please fix it!

I used to love this app before the upgrade. Now I cant view recipes I created.

This app has been a great tool for keeping track of my nutritional intake. Ive lost 9 lbs in a month since Ive been keeping a nutrition log and working out 1 hour per day, 6 days a week. I just wish I could convert a 1 tbsp serving into 1/2 cup, 1 cup, ect as called for in some recipes without having to get out the calculator and paper. Id give it an 8.5 out of 10

Update Made Great APP Useless

I bought this app because it simply did what I wanted it to do. I wanted an app that would allow me to input and/or create recipes as well as organize my recipes. This app allowed me to put in a recipe with ingredients and then would calculate the nutrition values. So many on line recipes do not have nutrition and my husband and I have health issues so nutrition is essential. Once a recipe was created, this app also allowed me to change or substitute ingredients to improve nutrition values to fit my needs. The developers in this new upgrade have changed everything. They have added things I do not need like personal info or the ability to log food and exercise. I have other apps that do a much better job. The elements of this app that made it valuable to me have now disappeared. I can no longer make ingredient changes or substitutions and the nutrition values are way off. They should have stuck with what they did best. This app is now useless to me. Do not waste your money, I am deleting this app.

Great app!

I used this app to store recipes for my special needs child. These recipes took so much work to create & now they are all lost to me. Havent been able to get into app since February update. Tried to go to their website to see if my recipes were available, but cant even get on their website. Save yourself time & money by avoiding this app!! I think Ill avoid any app made by wombat!!

Crash and things

Crashes when I I try to send it and cant seem to find ingredients.

Crashed

Have used this app for awhile. It was easy to use and I was very happy with it. The last update, however, has ruined it. The app will not open, but crashes. Very frustrating, as I had recipes stored on my iPad that I wanted to use for Easter dinner.

Create recipes

I purchased this app specifically to create recipes with all of the nutritional information. So far most of the foods I have looked up to add as ingredients are not in the list of foods. When I try to add an ingredient by scanning the bar code, after I scan the item it only gives me the option to add to my daily diary. Im not about to add every ingredient and all of the nutritional information for all of the recipes I have, way to much time. Honestly Id really like to get rid of the app and get my money back.

Loving it!

This app is so easy to use. I especially like the Analysis option! I use an online exercise plan and I would like to be able to enter calories burned based on what the plan tells me. Other than that, love it!

Excellent app

I use it daily to calculate the calories in my recipes. It is easy and accurate. I recommend it highly

Some flaws

I just got this app and started adding some recipients. The food database is great and adding ingredients is easy. Writing instructions is flawed. Its not adding steps even when you tap to "add steps". The screen is also limited so as you write instructions, it doesnt scroll and all you to see what youre writing. Im going to keep trying but Im a little disappointed because it cost 3 bucks.

Recipe magic

Now I can keep all the important recipes I make with me!

App to fill the gap

I have other "healthy" apps for carbs, calories and the like. This recipe builder will take my most complex recipe and give me the nutrition facts I LOOK for.

Several Uses

This app is designed for logging food, exercise, weight and the like. I already have another app for logging that stuff that Im used to, but the recipe calculator isnt great. I bought this app hoping for easier calculation of calorie counts of recipes. Ive entered a couple, and it works pretty well.

Id like my money back.

Advertised as able to figure out nutritional info of my own recipes. Have been unable to figure out. Created new recipe, but cant add ingredients. Kept retrying, then locked up my iPad twice. No good.

SCAM!!! $19.99 a year is not disclosed

The apps infrastructure is under par. No content is released until you pay them more. This app needs to be reviewed again carefully. They are preying on people that want a premium macro app.
