just what I was looking for

Add ingredients and measurements and servings....BOOM you know all your nutrients. Awesome if you cook and want to keep track of your nutrients.

Good app

Im a dietetic tech and I create and write healthy recipes for a living. This app helps me calculate nutrient information quickly and that helps tremendously.

Awesome App!!!

I love this App so much. It has helped me finally get a handle on my weight. Its so easy to use. I love that I can put my own recipes in and it will calculate all the nutrition for me. I recommend it to anyone trying to get healthy.

bad

just got this. it bites. i want my money back. how do i do that?

Save your money

I was very disappointed with this app. Didnt even have the correct option for my carrot salad. Waste of money. The print option is tacky looking. I deleted it.

Useful

Good for tracking calories. Needs work for recipes. Needs to be able to link or import recipes from other sources. Cant print because file type not supported. Ill use this for now but keep searching for something that meets all my needs

Great for T1D

With a child who is type one diabetic, its so important to know the carb count of my recipes in order to calculate his insulin needs. With this app, I just plug in the ingredients and put in the number of servings n voila! Accurate carb count without having to painstakingly figure them out on paper, or dose according to a similar recipe. And it saves the recipes so I dont have to figure out the carbs each time. Cuz Lord knows Ill forget! Love it!

This app doesnt work

I am unable to input recipes to get nutritional information when using "My Recipes" with this app. (when opening "My Recipes" there is no insertion bar/point to type in my text) I sent a note to customer support for Wombat Industries and never got a response back from them. In addition I asked for a refund for my purchase and they have done nothing to help in any way. This is very disappointing.

Very user friendly app

I am enjoying this app very much and have mainly used the recipe builder component. I have been able to use it for my intended purpose of calculating calorie and nutrition stats for my own recipes. I have a lot of custom recipes so using this app is a real time saver for me. Yes, it would be nice if this app had more extensive capability, but Ive managed to figure out a few time saving steps along the way. Make sure you save your ingredients and foods into your favorites as you go on this app, and it will make it easier to build your recipe ingredient by ingredient. Then you can copy the calorie and nutrition info into another app that allows you to save all your recipes and favorites if you have one. Ive been using Spark People app to log my food and exercise etc. but there are a few other really good ones too. Its really not that much work to copy that basic info into another app. Once you have the nutrition info from the recipe builder, you can then save your recipe as one of your favorites and after you get this process down, it truly is fast and easy to enter all your food for the day! All apps are a work in progress as far as I am concerned, and its good to know your intended purpose and needs before buying any app. This one has met most of my expectations and I consider it a time saving and helpful tool.

DANGEROUSLY INACCURATE NUTRITIONAL VALUES

All of the plain lentils are stated as having almost double the calories on the package. All of the other nutritional amounts for plain lentils are WAY OFF as well. Nutrient info for unlabeled fresh foods is likely dead wrong as well. BEWARE!

Myfitnesspal

Compared to Myfitnesspal this app is awful. I was able to import the recipe from the Internet. Clicks only. No entering.

Pretty sweet app

After going online searching for the perfect recipe app I came across this as the first search on the App Store. Its a pretty sweet app, and I like the barcode feature. Im pretty savvy with apps so I was able to figure out how to play with this quickly, but if you are not it might take some to get use to, but once you do.. Its awesome! Great job to your team.

Love it!

This app is just what I needed. Well worth the purchase. I love that there are options for different measures. That option makes it so much easier.

?

Can you add saturated fat grams?

Poor Recipe Builder

The concept is GREAT and I loved the idea of creating and seeing the recipes. Try adding something simple like 2 cups of rolled oats to a recipe and let me know (rhetorical)how you make out with the measurement that makes no sense ---- not impressed and very confusing. Deleted the app. Waste of monies.

Great app!

This app makes it very easy to figure out the nutritional value of your own recipes and keep track of what youre eating every day. My only problem with it is that when youre building a recipe it doesnt allow you to do double digit servings. So if you make a pan of muffins and there are 12 you have to cut the recipe in half and change the serving size to 6. It just makes it more of a pain to enter. Hopefully there will be an update fixing this flaw. I would have given 5 stars if not for that.

Dont bother

If you are expecting to be able to build a recipe and then determine its nutritional value, this is not the app you want. The data base is terrible. It may be accurate but unless you want the very limited options it has, you need to plan on putting all the data in yourself. In my opinion, its not worth the bother.

Love this app

I thought it would be hard to use on the small screen of my phone, but this app is very easy to use. I use it to calculate the nutritional value of recipes. Strongly recommend

Not worth time or Money

I wasted more than an hour trying this app to build recipe and track nutrition. Its not user friendly nor could I figure out how to use App. One very disappointed customer.
