The Recipe Box Positive Reviews

Great app!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..SlcartwrightVersion: 5.1

May be going back to RolodexUpdated review (iOS16 version): So excited all the broken features have been fixed. The capture feature for importing works better than ever! I love this app and have not been willing to abandon it. ------------ This is a great app, but it hasn’t been updated since iOS9. Surprised it works on iOS11 at all. Will keep using it, but like others posters, I’m going to have to back my recipes up to print/PDF in case it stops working with the next update. It’s not even worth trying to find another app to replace it. I don’t have to time to build recipe files from the ground up, only to have to start all over when the developer loses interest..Kiz2015Version: 6.0.2

No supportEDIT: as of 11/23 it has now been updated but there is no way to reach developer as link in app does not work, also, the change to interface is horrible, instead of having the info bar with measurements over the keyboard area in a straight line, it has been moved to both sides of the screen which takes up most of the room on the recipe. I do not like this change at all and support is sadly lacking as it was before. Too bad as this app had the makings of a great one. I caution anyone thinking of using this app as apparently it is no longer supported by the developer due to personal issues. I spent a lot of time over the years putting in my recipes and although I can use them NOW I fear that in the future this app will be useless. It is next to impossible to import recipes and using the copy and paste feature is a joke. I am extremely disappointed as I loved this app and paid good money for it. I will no longer add recipes and will start copying the ones I have over into another app. It was great while it lasted..SoitseamsVersion: 6.0.2

Love it! And Love the Update!Updated review: I was so excited to see this app get updated and be supported again! I have used this app for years for my recipes and to help meal plan, but over time it had lost the ability to transfer recipes between the app on my iPhone and my iPad. The “instant import” feature had also stopped working (as far as I could tell), but I could still manually import recipes from websites and blogs so I made the best of it and it was still a mostly useful app. But NOW, with the update, everything is back and even better than before. The transfer between my phone and iPad works again. Even better, instant recipe import is even better than before!! I just imported a recipe from a food blog with the touch of a button! So amazing and way easier than the manual import I used to do. I love it and will go back to recommending this app to friends. ********* Great app! So easy to upload recipes from websites. I have it on both my iPad and iPhone and sync recipes between them. I use the app as a way to brainstorm dinner ideas. Before each grocery store trip, I browse the dinner recipes and select which one I'm going to make that week. So nice to have them all in one place and not rummaging through all of my cookbooks, magazines, and random scraps of paper for ideas..AGR72Version: 6.0.2

Importing & EditingLove the updates and the link between iPad and iPhone is great. One thing I discovered, if you EDIT a current recipe on one device, you need to delete the old recipe on the other device before you link the devices and “share” the recipes. It’s a simple fix, but if you don’t delete the old recipe it will not update your edits! The new import feature from the web is great….just play with it and you’ll love it….beats typing long recipes. I’ve had this original app on my iPhone for several years….it’s great when you bring one of your items to a party and someone wants the recipe….you can text the recipe from the the app or email it, both work very well. It’s like having my personal recipe collection in my pocket at all times..KS - Lake Lanier GAVersion: 6.0.2

Unhappy with latest updateI 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..Ann211Version: 5.1

Best Recipe Keeper!I have used The Recipe Box for years and loved it. But, guess what? They just made it even better! It’s so easy to find and store recipes. Just search for what you want to make, decide which recipe you like best and save it with one click. So easy! When I first started using the app, I looked up some of my very old recipes by name and the magazine name and was able to find and save many of them. Or, you can type in recipes that you can’t find. Over the years I have added so many recipes from magazines, food blogs and friends. The app is also easy to cook with. You can store your recipes in categories so they are easy to find. One recipe can be stored in several categories. For example: vegetarian, soup, easy or pasta, chicken and other poultry, make ahead. They are listed in alphabetical order in each category by default but you can change that with a couple of clicks. The app stays on while you are viewing or using the recipe. It’s a snap to share or delete recipes, too. There is so much more-I can’t write it all in a short review. Just try this app-I know you will love it!.PradewanVersion: 6.0.2

Love love love this appI 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..Ms.MayhemVersion: 5.1

Almost PerfectI had to switch from my former Recipe Pad app when the developer claimed he would no longer support the app ugh!!!. I downloaded my apps before I hit upon this one and I am glad I did. Importing from most sites is easy , copy and paste is easy as well. I would like some additional features are to accommodate sous vide cooking and more sophisticated iCloud support and I hope the developer is working on it. It would also be nice to have a favorite recipe sites feature as opposed to scrolling though the list to get at the ones you frequent. All in all thus app is a powerful tool..Apv9Version: 5.1

Great ProgramI 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..Losmith32000"yahoo.comVersion: 5.1

Finally!I've been trying to make a recipe file for a few years now but it was tedious and impossible to search, categorize, and easily add new recipes. This app is a dream come true! All the newspaper clippings, magazine clipping, and scrap paper recipes are now all in one beautiful place. Thank you! UPDATE: I’ve been using this app for several years now and I love it! It is a little glitchy sometimes, instant import rarely works, but it is still a great recipe database. I’m shocked that there was finally an update. It’s a little different. I don’t like the numbers and measurements at the top/sides but I’ll deal with it. Still my favorite!.BldsukrVersion: 6.0.2

Great App - I Rarely Have ProblemsI have been using this app for several years, initially on ipad, then added to my iphone, currently 6S. I rarely have problems. I am a Cook's Illustrated web subscriber and the instant import works great there. I simply do not have the problems I see elsewhere in the reviews. When instant import is not supported, the copy and paste work-around always works. I like the idea that the recipes I keep there are mine, not an encyclopedia of recipes I will not use and have to search through to get where I want. When I am shopping and forgot to check a recipe for ingredients, I just check my phone. I love this app.CookingMadScientistVersion: 5.1

Wow!!!Love this app. Fun, easy to use and easy to download all of my favorite recipes. Give it a try you will never use another recipe box. Can't tell you how many recipes I have lost with other apps. I love going to the store, looking up a recipe and having at the touch of my fingers. I transfer recipes from my phone to my pad. This app is amazing. Instead of putting in calories I put in points for weight watchers. Give it a try! You won't be sorry! Yes, mine freezes up once in a while. I just reboot my iPad. I, too, think this app just keeps getting better. Thanks so much for a terrific product..JenzdezineVersion: 5.1

Perfect for keeping my own recipesI love that this app doesn't bog me down with a lot of pre-entered recipes that I will never use. It lets me enter my own and I'm even able to easily add from recipes I find on the internet directly in the app. The only thing I don't like is in the latest update when I try to share a recipe by email with someone who doesn't own the app, it doesn't include the picture anymore like it used to. It only attaches the recipe file with the picture placed in *there* (which is useless to the other person if they don't have the app)..Jendayi781Version: 5.1

Crashes and broken backupsThis app is good if you don't want to add all of your recipes because when you put to many in there is is slow and crashes all the time. When you try and share recipes, it can freeze up the entire catalog of recipes and the only fix is to delete the app and reinstall, only to lose all of your recipes. Then if you back them up the way the recommend you to do the file won't open and work. Also, when you contact them via email and ask for help of to report issues, you don't get a response. So I would advice you to have your recipes in hard copies or on you computer so you don't lose them..BreyyaVersion: 5.1

What the Half-baked App?I’ve had this app for years and have parked almost all my best recipes here. Now it barely functions. Instant import does not work, specialized keyboard does not work, I can no longer view the ingredients and the instructions at the same time, etc. I always install updates. What has happened to one of my all time favorite apps? I’ll be burned if I have to move all my collected recipes to a new app. I tried to email rather than put this in a review, but, surprise, that wasn’t working either. Please, please get this fixed!.WurdlovVersion: 5.1

Two different apps nowNot cool anymore. There are now two different versions of the Recipe Box and they don’t talk to each other. Use to load recipes into the Recipe Box on my iPad, which I preferred to use on the kitchen counter. Always exported recipes to my iPhone, so I could check the ingredients list while shopping. Then my phone decided to auto-update to Recipe Box To Go, and my iPad recipes decided that they could no longer interchange with my iphone. So there you have it, basically unusable for me. Got to go to another app, though don’t know where or how the heck I’m going export all those recipes to a different app..Buyatbat15Version: 5.1

Love this app!I have been using this app for about 3 years and it has always performed perfectly for me! It is an easy way to gather Internet recipes. In addition, I can put my own recipes in and when I need to share it with a friend in a printed copy, it looks so professional. Please keep it going, I have had no issues with malfunctioning, adding recipes, sharing or viewing recipes! It may take a few tries for you to get the hang of it, but it's so easy to import whatever you want to keep. Editing is a breeze..CrystaltuneVersion: 5.1

My Favorite Recipe SourceI love so much about this app, but agree w/ reviewers about keeping the photo on the recipe, don’t like the large font and the fact that it often freezes when I’m adding Type (category) or times in recipes. Would’ve given it 5 stars if above items were corrected. I like having the photo on the recipe AND as you scroll thru’ looking for a recipe. I also wish the source was on the opening listing. I’ve been using this since Recipe Box started and think it’s the best way to keep old and new recipes..Acorn WorldVersion: 6.0.2

Help. Not working well.Is this app still even being supported? I’ve used it for years and have loved it, but now I can’t even get it to sync between my devices or my daughters devices. I’ve invested a lot of time organizing and entering all of my recipes I purchased this app and purchased it for both of my daughters as well so we can share, but it simply won’t connect. And now I can’t seem to find a way to connect with anyone for help. If I can’t get it figured out, I’m searching for an app I can use and hopefully transfer everything fr9m here to there..TjstampaVersion: 5.1

New update after all these years!OMG! Thank you, thank you for the update! I have been using this app for years and had been quite disappointed it appeared to have been abandoned. But I had a lot of recipes saved and did not want to go through all the trouble to start over. Besides, I really did like the app. What a great surprise to see it had been updated after all these years! The Image Capture and instant Import worked flawlessly. I am a happy woman!.McgeemamVersion: 6.0.1

Love this appYears ago I saw this app and thought I’d give it a try. It makes looking up your recipes easy! One thing I love is that you can email your recipes to friends right from the recipe itself. I love the format. Whoever designed this app did a very fine job at making it easy to use. No more searching through recipe cards, ripped out magazine pages or cookbooks! I use this app every day. I have hundreds of recipes in it. If you cook and bake you will love this app!.SandidfVersion: 6.0.2

UpdateAlthough I sort of like the update, I was totally not expecting it. It came from out of nowhere. There are some things that just don’t seem to work as well. Take for instance, the time; prep and total. You start clicking on buttons and all sorts of things pop up. That’s just for starters. Then there are the conversation charts popping up everywhere. However nice they are, I think that they should be allowed for YOU to bring them up. It’s just too many things staring at you. Thanks for listening. Zanna.SparrowandlilyVersion: 6.0.2

Really love this app!I find this app so useful. I have been using it for years and have the iPhone app too. I prefer using it on the iPad for both entry and cooking. I use it just for my recipes, but love the bookmark for new recipes I would like try. My only issue with the latest update is that on entry/edit, the text screen seems to scroll a lot while I'm typing. I typically uses it I the horizontal position. Also, this is really small, but the degree button now produces a capital X instead of the degree symbol..HawkeyecookVersion: 5.1

My favorite recipe appThis is my go to app for all my best recipes. It's the easiest one to either download or build recipes. I'm even able to download from my PC. I wish I could download load more from the internet but I can bounce back and forth from web view to build. It takes longer but still gets the job done. This is a great app and they are making improvements to it. It would de fantastic if I had this as a program on the computer too..ClaybustinVersion: 5.1

Great recipe organizer but importing is trickyI love the ability to organize all my recipes in one place. The abbreviations in the typing section make it easy to type in all those family recipes. The ability to go on the net and download any recipe you see in a magazine is great. Just one problem. The Instant Import function works only when it feels like it. Cut and paste only woks well on simple recipes. When they involve long ingredient lists and multiple steps, dragging the copy line while scrolling is a bear, especially if there are ads in the way. The developers need to fix this..BumblebmVersion: 5.1

Use to love, love this app.I use to love this app but the import feature which is what I loved it for stop function years ago. The keyboard is dead in the water, I have contacted them and they never respond. I guess I need to look for a new app what kills me is I have made everyone in my family purchase this app so we can share recipes so lost business for them since we are shopping for a new one. DO NOT purchase if want to be disappointed..DebNukVersion: 5.1

Doesn’t workThis has been a very good app. However, for no apparent reason, the special keyboard no longer works. I tried turning my iPad to portrait rather than landscape and the keyboard appears but it doesn’t work. I don’t want this database of recipes on my phone. (I’m an older woman and reading recipes on my iPhone is more trouble than it’s worth.) I have a lot of recipes to add but I need the keyboard to work..Chemistry cityVersion: 5.1

The Updates are greatHave been using it for years. But the upgrade has made it so much easier. Love that the import function from websites. It works for so many different sites. Also it’s nice to share and update with my friends and family who have this app. Keyboard shortcuts are a plus for manual editing. Thank you so much for all the work you’ve put in this recipe app..RedbonemoVersion: 6.0.2

Thank for the update!I have been using this app for MANY years and a lot of features stopped working, but I put so much time and effort into building up my catalogue I didn’t want to switch. I also really like the format. I love that the instant import works again! I’m still getting used to some of the other updates, it it’s working great! Thank you thank you!!.HylaWVersion: 6.0.1

Back To Its Former Glory!I’ve been using this app in excess of fifteen years! Originally it was a five star app in a class by itself. Then came a point in time where it was neglected so that the sister app for the I-Phone could be & was perfected. Now, the developers have come back, dusted her off, updated & revamped the app with a new visual interface, print & import facility. Thereby bringing her back to be the Queen she once was!!!.ChiprvaVersion: 6.0.2

Great app, to bad it’s no longer supportedI have been using this app for years. It was absolutely wonderful - being able to download apps from web easily, readily available, and could sync with phone. Now, however, the sync function is no more. The copying form the web needs to be updated as well - still works - some times, though you can always select the ingredients, title, and directions separetely and download. Would love to see this updated!.Bluej777Version: 5.1

My main recipe app.This is far and away my favorite recipe app! Between the instant import from most recipe sites, and speaking the recipes that are not instantly import-able, I can get a recipe in it in less than five minutes any time. I also like that I can tap an ingredient, and it grays out, or tap the step in the directions and it highlights. This helps me keep my place. I am not a chef or anything, but I dig this app..Moseyx2Version: 5.1

Been a whileI have had this app for several years. It has also been quite a while since it has been updated. I like the fact that it is simple to use and has all the features I was looking for in a recipe collection. I’ve used it for my restaurant’s recipes as well as my personal recipes. Well done on the upgrade. Nice job..EggflipperVersion: 6.0.2

Love this AppThis is my favorite recipe app and I’m thrilled it is finally updated!!! When it was getting dated, tried other apps but kept coming back to the old one. Other apps are just too commercialized. One suggestion for the next upgrade is to have an option to include the recipe photo when sharing a recipe. Thank you for updating this app!.On the road to skinnyVersion: 6.0.2

I use this all the time, but....Please add a login feature. I have all of my recipes in this app and use it all the time. I refer to my iPad while cooking, and use my phone while gathering ingredients at the store so I need both devices to have all of my recipes. Currently, you are required to synch your recipes one by one between devices, but half of the time this feature doesn’t work. I’ve thought about converting to another app that has a login feature, but then I would spend hours transferring recipes..Chad & LeslieVersion: 5.1

Happy for the updateHave been using this simple little app for years. It does everything I need with no clutter, or excess fields. It makes keeping, using & sharing favourite recipes easy. I like the format for ingredients and directions. I have never used the notes section but think it will be useful when adapting gluten free recipes..AlskdhfhgnVersion: 6.0.1

Love - Love this APP.Best recipe keeper ever. I have suggested it to many people. So appreciative of the updates. Works a lot smoother now. Still can’t link my iPad to my iphone so that they have the same recipes. Most of them are linked but have new ones that I would like to go to the phone app. So handy when I go grocery shopping and I can look up a recipe to see what ingredients I need.

Once again this is the best recipe app ever!I’ve been using this app since it came out but about four years ago it appeared to have been orphaned. A lot of features stopped working but I stayed with it and the basics worked. I just got notification of an update after all this time and am ecstatic!!! I use this just about on a daily basis. It was and now is again the best recipe keeper/organizer ever. Thank you, thank you,thank you for the update, bringing all features back to life. Previous review: No updates or response from developer in 2 years. Features quit working. Don’t buy this..Derrough88Version: 6.0.1

The recipe boxI use to love this app….. now it doesn’t work properly. Can’t copy and paste recipes into it anymore. Can’t print recipes from it. It’s turned into a garbage app and it seems that the developers don’t want to fix the issues.KatLalondeVersion: 5.1

Doesn’t workVery disappointed. I wrote all my recipes and worked for a few years. Now the developer has forgotten all about it. No support no updates. App crashes, won’t work properly. The developer is still bragging about developing it, but doesn't have any support. Apple should not allow it in the app store..MdmdjdjdndinndddVersion: 5.1

Stability and export problemsI loved this app for many years. Don’t buy it now. Several problems too serious to use it. it’s no longer supported. It doesn’t transfer all receipts to another device, roughly ten percent. Then quits, and won’t pair again. Tried to back up in Icloud, it failed. Emailing my whole recipe box, it truncates part way through. The backup no longer works. It hangs, and must be rebooted. Too risky. Hundreds of hours on my collection, wasted..MoonDrummer1959Version: 5.1

Love the App and Teach the AppI love this app but there seems to be a couple of features that are not working: 1. The “Back Button” that takes us back to main menus list does not work. 2. The feature to send recipes by WiFi to another iPad does not work. Otherwise the app is wonderful, especially when importing from recipe websites and emailing to someone who has the app. Hopefully the Developer Kathleen Tavel will fix these two things so that my clients can continue to enjoy the app that I recommend as often as I can at all my classes. Thanks for a great App and I look forward to more features when you find them. Pamela.PctutorVersion: 5.1

The Recipe Box Negative Reviews

NO UPDATES FOR 7 YEARS = DEAD APP!!!This WAS an excellent app for many years, but they stopped updating and customer service went silent over 7 years ago. The many iOS updates since then have precipitated a whole host of function issues with The Recipe Box that make it essentially useless. I am sorry to have to give up on this old favorite, but the time for holding on has come and gone. If you download this app in 2020 or later, I’m afraid your heart will be broken when one day it simply fails to function altogether. That is a nightmare scenario for recipe archivists like me. Allow me to opine that you shouldn't waste your money on this long dead app. I needed a new home for my precious recipe collection, so I searched online for opinions, and read the AppStore descriptions of every one that was recommended. PAPRIKA 3 kept rising to the top, so that’s what I bought. It has plenty of very useful functions, is intuitive to use, and it is intelligently laid out — so it is an excellent substitute for Recipe Box. I have no financial interest in the company that sells Paprika 3, and I do not know the developer; after 3+ years of use, I still think Paprika 3 is the best recipe archive in the AppStore..Lacemaker 427Version: 5.1

I lost EVERYTHING cannot express my furyBeen using this app for years. There’s a pop up bar when you’re entering a new recipe...it has shortcut choices like “chopped” or “minced,” and numbers including fractions, and shortcut keys for “Tbsp” or “med.” It only worked in the beginning. Finally I had enough and first went to contact the company - and the link says under construction or whatever. Jerks. So I followed their instructions to be sure Recipe Box is backed up to my iCloud and then deleted and reinstalled the app to see if the buttons would work. Guess what? I lost all my recipes. Fortunately I previously emailed myself every recipe of importance (ie ones I customized, unlike say basic banana bread). But my custom photos also? Also all lost. So maybe I’ll figure out yet how to get them back but no more app. No more ANY recipe app. I am going to print off my recipes I saved to desktop and go back to using a book. AGAIN, I CANNOT STRESS HOW MUCH ANGRY I AM! I spent many, many hours logging in recipes, for nothing. If this company makes any other apps, don’t use them either..X-RackVersion: 5.1

Used to be great-found replacement appUpdated 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!.Wil6045Version: 5.1

Used to love this AppPROS: Easy to use; not only do I have the option import, but to cut and paste as well; can easily edit categories; recipes look great when sharing via email. CONS: Recipe Box keyboard doesn’t work 98% of the time - had to add a special keyboard app in order to use fractions. Cannot import recipes from many sites, even from sites recommended by Recipe Box’s listing. Unable to locate area where app tells you what version you are using - it’s not in settings. Must be computer literate to add pics of recipes - have found that many pictures do not load; app crashes often. I purchased this app and am unable to contact customer support! When trying to select “Contact” on their webpage, page reloads and displays “Bad Merchant!!!” Huh?! As soon as I figure out how to back up my recipes to another source, I’m deleting and just consider it a loss of money! Oh and yes, I have the latest version!.MaMa FoodyVersion: 5.1

From 5 to 2 starsDon’t waste your time! This was one of the best early recipe apps out there. I have collected over 2300 recipes on the app and used to recommend it to friends. I am not sure if the developers stopped putting energy into this, but in the past few years it has lost quite a bit of functionality and has not added any new features. I haven’t been able to auto import a recipe in more than a year without an error message (you can still import manually) and the direct sharing/synching of recipes between ipads/iphones no longer works. I buy a new iPad and iPhone every 2-3 years, so I know that it is not because my equipment is old. I am in the process of looking at other apps to transfer my recipes to. Unfortunate that I have wasted so much time on this app. :(.Coffee meVersion: 5.1

Keeps freezing when I'm using itI've had this app for years and really depend on it, all my recipes are kept on it. The past few months each time I use it, it freezes up. I can't move it down to see the rest of ingredients or the directions, no matter what I do. This morning it was so bad, I had to stop what I was doing and access the recipe on my iPhone to finish what I was making. This Christmas I received an iPad Air 2 and also upgraded my iPhone to the 6s. What an absolute nightmare trying to transfer all my recipes to my new i products. I ended up having to email all 442 recipes to myself and transferring that way. I hope this is just a temporary bug and will be fixed shortly. Up until the last month, this app has always been 5*..Unhappy in SeattleVersion: 5.1

USED TO BE a Great App; COULD BE againI have had this app for years. And like many other reviewers, I loved it when I first got it. I have invested a lot of time and energy into drafting and importing recipes into the app. But the app no longer functions as it was designed to. Instant import never works. And all the special keys that made creating recipes so easy no longer work. All the app needs is a true software update to be compatible with the current ISO. But the designer never seems to respond to these types of comments. I have even gone to the designer website for support. And I’ve tried leaving a comment on their website for support. I always get an under construction-type message. Which leads me to believe that the designer is not in business anymore. SOMEONE PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!!!!!.Reviews RarelyVersion: 5.1

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME & MONEYUpdate to below...it looks like some one bought the App from the original developers? She doesn't fix the instant import or other bugs or address anything but continues to collect purchases. Apple should remove the sale of this app from the App Store if the current owner doesn't have the capacity to support it. Like others on here I had been successfully using The Recipe Box for a few years with minor glitches (totally expected). However over the last 3-6 months almost every instant import, no matter the source, came back with a bug report. These issues used to be resolved within a few weeks or so now they just sit untouched so I'm waiting for the day the entire App crashes and is unrecoverable along with my stored recipes (along with everyone else's)...AlisonBGVersion: 5.1

Caveat emptorI have used this app for many years and have over 700 recipes stored on it. The app used to be great (five stars), and it is still o.k., but issues are repeatedly cropping up (read the reviews). This is clearly an unsupported app now. The last update was January 2016. The app troubleshooting page talks about iOS 8 with no mention of iOS 10. You cannot get response from the developers (who promise they read their emails), save a canned email that is over a year old. Common decency should dictate that this app be removed from the store. I am now looking for alternatives, and I'm trying to find someone who has a script that will transfer my recipes to another app. There are (or will be) many of us with the same problem, since this app will soon die; if you find a solution, please post..Wpdough1Version: 5.1

Latest version so bad, please take us back!I find myself searching for another recipe app, but really, I just want the old Recipe Box back. The new version is visually terrible, the details overlap on the main page, only limited information can be accessed from individual recipe pages, instant import frequently makes the app crash, and some entries randomly change - I have had to re-enter several recipes, and I had to re-enter all the prep times and cooking times several times because they changed to different numbers (like 00:15 was suddenly 22:57). Please "update" us all to the last version we all enjoyed and trusted with our recipes. If you have not downloaded this yet, don't..SpubearVersion: 5.1

The good and the badI like this app and use it frequently to access my recipes, especially when I'm shopping. But, one of the things I liked best, which was being able to import recipes from the web no longer works. Every time I try to import a recipe, it crashes. Even when I copy it "bit by bit", I have to keep saving and editing it so that I don't lose everything when it decides to crash again! I agree with the other reviews..there is no support! Wish there was a better way ! I have sent too many 'bug reports' to even count and I never get a reply. If I didn't already have a lot of recipes on this app, I would change. Don't buy it! There's got to be a better one out there..Papa&MimiVersion: 5.1

What went wrong?Noticed that no one has rated this app in quite awhile. It’s now even worse than when I originally posted this review. Practically impossible to enter new recipes as the fractions and abbreviations aren’t live. Supposedly my recipes are now backed up on iTunes, but can’t access them. If you’re considering this app, move on. Was really loving this app. Even raved about it friends. Now it won't load. Contacted customer service and no response. I'm afraid to delete and reload cause I might lose all my recipes. Could downloading the iPhone version allow me to find my recipes? Hate to have to pay again for the same app as I'm not really interested in having it on my phone..CostwriterVersion: 5.1

This is/was a great app…I have not tried to add a recipe to this app for a long time. At the site I use most the the instant import fails to work. I know I can copy and paste but do you really need a dedicated app to do that for a recipe besides you put the button there it should work! Frankly I am having a difficult time rating this. If the import function worked all the time for me it would be a 5 but it doesn't so a 1. Since I use it more to use recipes than add new ones you get 2 1/2. Update. Since I was in the App Store to write this review. I did some searching and found some paprika. Does what I want it do do! Imagine that.Warms74Version: 5.1

Good to BadYep, this app was once a great recipe box, but now all my recipes are gone. Only 21 are in my library out of at least a hundred and it’s been so many years since I bought this app, I’m not sure if those recipes came with the app or what. I purchased a new iPad and because of the difficulties in moving my recipes over, time took over and what was on my original iPad, is now missing 3/4 of my recipes. It matches the recipes on my new iPad. I’m sending this message here because the contact us page is under repair. Luckily I saved all my hard copy recipes and to find another digital library source will be avoided. This app should be removed from being downloaded..Tiki0208Version: 5.1

Desperately needs updateHave used this app happily for several years but now lacking an update for the current OS it is useless. Hangs on opening any recipe and won’t scroll. Don’t buy..CalaltabobVersion: 5.1

New update ruined the appThis is terrible! I have updated my iPad and still nothing works. There is no dark mode-looks the same as before. Can’t search up recipes by typing in ingredients bc there’s no longer a space to type it after pressing + button. Even if in a recommended website there’s no “instant import” option. Can’t even manually import a recipe bc the options for title, ingredients etc never pops up at the bottom. I’ve had this app for years and it was fine but now it’s awful. Please fix asap!.TifferjohnVersion: 6.0.1

Great app... But no longer supportedI love this app and have used it for several years, but apparently it is no longer being supported. I have The Recipe Box on two iPads, but can no longer share recipes between the two. I have diligently followed the instructions, but when a link has been created between my two devices, there is no "send" button to proceed. There is no help whatever on the web site. I've invested a lot of time and effort adding recipes to this app and sharing them with friends and family. I would hate to have to discontinue it's use. Numerous attempts to connect with the developer via Twitter have elicited zero response. Please, if the developer is still involved, a little help would be greatly appreciated..905rVersion: 5.1

What happened to your app?App hasn’t been updated for quite some time. Both my devices are running iOS12.1 and the app will not sync the recipes. Used to be a great app, but not sure where the developer went. It would be nice to hear from him/her/them. Hellooo???.SmtresaVersion: 5.1

DisappointedJust bought it. The special keyboard does not work. I lost the ability to classify the recipe. The email for support does not work.Mccs16Version: 5.1

From 5 stars to 2I used to love this app but the latest updates have made this great app just barely ok. Problems are: - I can no longer import recipes from popular recipe sites. Why on earth did you remove this fabulous functionality! - the special keyboard with fractions and common measures like Tbsp no longer works - I can no longer go from viewing the recipe to edit mode. I have to go back to the index, re-find the recipe and enter into edit mode from there. - I can still save the recipe source when I’m creating a new recipe but I can no longer see or go to the source once the recipe is saved If I hadn’t already saved so many recipes back when it was a great App, I would delete it altogether..SDHelmanVersion: 5.1

Was once great, now not so muchMy Instant Import no longer works from any of the sources I have tried. Also, the numbers on the keyboard, including fractions, as well as some of the abbreviations, ie tsp, no longer work. Lastly, when I want to update my iPhone app from my iPad, stops working midway through import. Getting frustrated with the app..MrsDavosVersion: 5.1

Love the app but zero supportI find the instant import never works. I’ve emailed questions with no reply. I don’t think anyone is on the other end. For an app you pay for, I expected more. I would recommend it more if not for these problems..KandmarieVersion: 5.1

Very disappointing update.Update: I have downgraded my rating of this app from a 5-star down to a 2-star because of the new version that was just thrust upon us. There are numerous bugs which are repeatedly making the app unresponsive on my tablet. I have asked how I can return to the old version but never even got a response from the support staff. This used to be one of my favourite apps, which I recommended constantly, but not anymore! Very disappointing!!! Bought this recipe box a few months ago after having purchased a cooking program that didn't have an app to use on my iPad. I think this app is great, and would never have even bought the other program had I known about this one first! It's easy to use, both to import recipes, to input your own favorites, and to share recipes. This app was one of the best apps I have ever bought and I would highly recommend it if you are into cooking!.CanadianCandycaneVersion: 5.1

New UserI clicked on happily to give this a 5 star rating. Love the potential of the app and it's intuitive bent matches mine. However, before I typed my review and stars, I read in other reviews how it cannot sync between iPad and iPhone. Also, disturbingly, an upgrade gave a massive loss of personal recipes to multiple users! Ooooh! Can't start with THAT! I looked for a response from the program developer but there is none that I can find! Disturbing! I guess I'm gonna check out of this one, boys and girls. I'll be back, though, if all the cookbook apps have the same issues because I do like this one!.HeavenlyHoofVersion: 5.1

Was greatUntil now I would have given this app 5 stars. The concept is great, but the latest upgrade has removed all of my recipes. The purpose is to save your recipes so one loss is a total loss. It renders the app useless. If I have to print them for security, I may as well just put them on paper. Some of the recipes were on my iPhone, but the share feature is not working. It shared a few then the app on my iPad Pro closed into the background. I couldn't get them to share again. This was all done with no other apps running in the background on either device..HMZ1048Version: 5.1
