The Recipe Box To Go App Comments & Reviews
The Recipe Box To Go Positive Reviews
Figured it outI’ve used the iPad version for years. The only problem I had was the instant import feature, but realized it was the recipe source web site that was the problem, not the app (some sources worked well, others didn’t). Then I found this app in the App Store. Thought it would be great to be able to sync my recipes between devices and with friends. Well, it didn’t work. Tried many times. Rebooted both devices. Still wouldn’t. It got to the point where the devices would display the Ready to Send/Receive then just hang there. Checked WiFi on both devices. They were the same. Then, on a hunch, I changed the WiFi from the extender I was using to the main router on both devices. Bingo. Worked great. Don’t know if it’s coincidence or if it was the problem, but it worked. I’ve saved myself from re-entering all my recipes in a different app. Hope the developer puts out an update mentioning this or changes something to make it work with a WiFi extender..Version: 5.0.2
Good recipe tool, but with issuesI have used this app for many years without using any import or export features. Then I wanted to use the iPhone app so that I could take recipes with me. The touted WIFI transferring of recipes doesn’t work, but the export via email does for new recipes. You can only send under 20 at a time if you want pictures to accompany the recipe, and you need to flag them in some way; I use the bookmark feature, but that means you are only using bookmarks for import/export, and continually unchecking bookmarks on both apps when done. If you update a recipe with new information, you must first delete the recipe from the destination and then import it. Hard to remember what you’ve changed if you don’t do the fixes right away. Importing recipes from the web has an Instant import feature that never works for me. I can do things in stages with cut and paste although it takes multiple steps (name, notes, ingredients, preparation, source, servings, etc). Doable but slow. Still, it is better than typing. The picture import doesn’t work, although you can capture the image to tour photos and import from there. Bottom line is I make it work for me, but wish the WIFI and Instant Import would work. Then it would be a 5..Version: 5.0.2
Almost a 5, except…Great to have a phone version of this app now available & to have Instant Import back as a working feature. However, when I transferred recipes from my iPad to my iPhone, all went well except that the custom categories I had created in my iPad version did not repopulate / carry over to the mobile app. I have more than 700 recipes in the app and the feature I use most frequently to sort is the categories feature, so the fact that my custom categories were not included in the transfer (and were deleted from each recipe) was very disappointing. I entered the categories in the master list manually after the transfer, in the hopes that the developers will acknowledge this problem and fix it and my phone categories will match my iPad categories for each and every recipe..Version: 6.0.2
Used to be much betterI have used this app for years and have invested a lot of time to get all my recipes into the app. The last few years, more and more features have stopped working. The special keyboard stopped working when I upgraded to an iPad Pro. I can rarely get the wireless sync to work between my devices. The app does not show up as an option to save to iCloud on any of my devices. You can copy the sqlite file from one device to another manually through itunes, but you lose all the pictures. It would be nice if the iCloud backup worked and if there was a way to move the pictures between devices without using the very flaky wireless transfer. If you don’t need to move the recipes between devices, it works great. I still love the app for recipes. It is pretty easy to type in recipes or to copy them off the internet. But I want to easily transfer the recipes from my iPad to iPhone. It would also be nice if there was a way to view and enter the recipes from a computer..Version: 5.0.2
Just what I wantedThis app does everything I wanted. Well worth it, easy to use. Syncs nicely between my iPhone and iPad. Nice to have the recipes with me in the store if I think of something I want to make and can't remember all the ingredients or quantities. I love the instant import. I only wish the shopping list could link with my shopping app, grocery g. Update. After the latest update I can't share my recipes between my iPad and phone. I tried contacted them but all I hear are crickets. I'll keep it because I have a lot of recipes but sure hope it gets updated correctly..Version: 5.0.2
Smartly OrganizedI’ve been using this app for too many years to remember, through many ‘new’ Apple devices. I needed to come here & give it a long over due 5 star review. It’s such a simple yet smart way to organize your family & favorite recipes from the internet. I love texting recipes to my kids when they ask me, how do you make …? I love having immediate access to ingredients for a recipe when I’m at the grocery store and need to know how much of an item I should be buying… I love the import from website feature… I love the notes tab for those little details that aren’t instruction or ingredient related…. Yep 5 stars! Hands down! Thank you!! Keep up the great work!! Worth every penny!.Version: 6.0.1
Update to App doesn’t download photsI’ve been using this app for many years. Although I couldn’t import a recipe, I was still happy with the app. With the most updated version, not only can’t I import, but I no longer can download a photo from my iphone photo library or take a photo. That’s extremely disappointing. Since this is a free app, I couldn’t even report this issue. The app only allows for reporting when it was purchased! Weird!! I would suggest looking for another app to replace this one if you like to have a photo of the recipe you’re about to cook/bake or the convenience of importing recipes (rather than manually cutting & pasting)..Version: 6.0
This is my go to place for my proven recipes, which I use over and over.I have so many recipes and places that I get them - cook books, emails, and magazines. When I find one I want to try, it may take an hour to refined it. Once I’ve made it and feel I’ll make it again, it goes into my recipe box. Love having a place for all my special recipes. It’s easy to populate with online recipes. It’s the first place I look when wanting to make something special. I love the notes section to remind myself of different techniques or problems I’ve had with the recipe. I can also use it for variations I make to a recipe..Version: 6.0.2
All app developers should take lessons from these people!WOW! All app developers should take lessons from these people! I've had the Recipe Box on my iPad for several months now and absolutely love everything about it. The only thing lacking was the ability to use it on my iPhone....and now I can do that! Thanks to well-written, easy to understand tutorials, it was a snap to use "recipe link" and send my 120 bookmarked recipes to my iPhone. I can't wait to use my iPad 2 to start adding photos of my recipes -- what fun! The Recipe Box apps are without a doubt my favorites :))).Version: 6.0.2
Great and yet what happened to the keyboardI do love this app because it allows me to have a tidy way to store my own recipes offline and I use it ALL the time. That said, what happened to the recipe options on the keyboard? It used to have fractions and shortcuts to measures and also the degree symbol but that’s all gone. And also, I do wish there was a way to simply synchronise the app across my devices rather than having to send recipes back and forth. But it sure beats dragging around a bunch of scraps of paper or multiple books!.Version: 6.0.1
Love the APP but needs to be updated and fixed (UPDATE)NEW REVISED iOS 15 VERSION FIXES ISSUES: NOW REALLY LOVE APP AGAIN. CANT WAIT FOR THE IPAD VERSION TO FIX LINK. OLD REVIEW: Love this app. Use for all my recipes. Instant import never works. Should be deleted. But the thing that is really driving me crazy is not being able anymore to link with my iPad and wife via Bluetooth. This was great feature but hasn’t worked for year. No bug reports get responded to. I think the developer has abandoned or died. Should have sync function added like Good Reader and Outliner for example. PLEASE FIX.Version: 6.0
Two different appsNot 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..Version: 6.0
A great app!I’ve actually used this for years and it’s great! The only thing I would suggest is either a way to log in or at least be able to sync it to other devices. I entered all the recipes into my iPad version and when I went to visit family in another state, I was going to cook them a meal… only to find out that the recipe I’d planned wasn’t on my phone’s app. I can enter them manually, but it would be handy if it saved the entered recipes from one device to another somehow..Version: 5.0.2
Good but not perfectI love that I can find recipes on the web and automatically import them. And even if they can’t be automatically imported I can still easily cut and paste them into the various recipe sections. My only gripe is with sharing recipes via the Wi-Fi transfer to another device using the same app. It’s rather hit or miss. I always have to do multiple attempts to get it to work. Otherwise, this is my go to recipe app..Version: 6.0.1
Just what the doctor orderedOnly problem is the shopping list, I wish you could add non recipe items. The way I got around this was I made a "recipe" called "shopping list" that I put other items in. Also, some of auto-import recipe does not work. And I wish you could share the shopping list automatically (if two people are shopping, checking off items would be done on all shared lists). But all in all, just what the doctor ordered.Version: 5.0.2
Love this app!It is quick and easy to import recipes from the web. I plan weekly menus by "bookmarking" them, which makes it easy for any member of my family to find and cook dinner. I can share family favorite recipes with my college aged daughter. You can capture one photo but sometimes I do wish I could add several for step by step preparation details. Nevertheless this app is used several times a week from meal planning to making a quick grocery list. Age 13 to non tech hubby can use it easily..Version: 5.0.2
Glad I didn’t give up on this appLove this app. I have almost 500 recipes stored in it and have used it for years. I almost gave up, but have managed to find work arounds to deal with all the issues. I was thrilled when it was finally updated. Please, please, please update the iPad version as well. The phone version is nice for looking up ingredients while I’m in the store, but it’s much nicer to use the iPad while cooking or baking. Thank you..Version: 6.0
Love It!I’ve been using this app for years and it is awesome! I love that I can easily add recipes from any website. It’s easy for me to send a recipe by text or email when someone asks me for one. When I’m trying to find something to make for dinner I can easily search for dinner recipes or just scroll through all of my recipes to see what catches my fancy. This is a great recipe keeping app..Version: 6.0.2
Works great for meI read of many problems in the reviews. I have not had these problems and I started on an iPad then included my first iPhone, changed my iPhone, installed every update on both devices and never have any or the problems I see reported elsewhere. I do occasionally see glitches in instant importing, but the the copy workaround always works..Version: 5.0.2
Love this appI put all my new recipes and working on old ones as I use them. They are always at hand when I am shopping for quick reference and easy to use as I cook. I also very much appreciate being able to quickly look up a recipe with search feature and not go through stacks of old paper recipes. Great app..Version: 6.0.1
Good, but........I love to use this when I'm cooking, but shortly after I started using it, the instant import completely stopped working. It also doesn't import well between devices. I just got a new iPhone and I wanted to import all my recipes to my phone, but it doesn't want to link at all, and when it does, the app crashes half way through the import..Version: 5.0.2
Useless nowI really liked this app way back when I purchased it for my iPhone and iPad. It was a bit wonky to use and get the hang of though. Then, after one of the major IOS updates, it deleted all of my recipes. Couldn't get the backup to restore. Then the developer quit updating the app. So, I haven't used it since. I haven't deleted the apps because I keep hoping the developer will come back. This is the reason I'm hesitant to pay for these types of apps. Too bad, because it was a nice app at one time..Version: 5.0.2
Good app, but the synchronize function is uselessI like this app to organize and save my recipes. The hide downside is the sharing feature which works 1% of the time. Unless this can be resolved, don't buy it! One would expect far more from a paid app. Hasn't been updated in over a year either, so developer may have given up just like the users....Version: 5.0.2
Works flawlesslyI just got the latest version installed and I’m so happy to have it working again. I started collecting recipes for making thanksgiving dinner and it was easy and fun to do. Just took a few seconds to send them to my iPad and I’m in business. Highly recommend this app, and the iPad version too!.Version: 6.0.1
Good but…I love this app because I can mark off the ingredients as I put them in. Then when I get interrupted and go back to the recipe, I know exactly what I’ve already put in. Do wish there was a better way to sync the recipes between my phone and iPads. It should sync new recipes automatically..Version: 5.0.2
Love this app!!!!It had everything I was looking for. It looks like grandmas recipe card but with the convenience of technology. The only thing I wish for is I would like to have a galleria of pics for each recipe. This would help to add pics for the steps you take to make the dish or just to show off your work. But still going to use this a lot..Version: 5.0.2
Needs update or way to export recipesUnlike some other recipe organizers, this app does not export in a format that can be used in newer/other apps. Since it looks like this app is now forgotten, it is unfortunate for all of us that paid for this and have amassed a large collection. The day will come soon that even this version will no longer work with a current iOS. Hopefully it is not forgotten. Some communication for the developers would be nice..Version: 5.0.2
My Favorite AppThe Recipe Box was the first app I bought many years ago on my iPad and I love that I can continue to use the app with my iPhone. No more wondering what cookbook my favorite recipes are in. I just add them to the app and have easy access all the time, and adding new recipes from the web is so easy. LOVE IT!!! ❤️.Version: 6.0.1
Handy & EasyI have used Recipe Box for years and love the ease for importing recipes into the app or the thorough options when entering manually. Very easy to share recipes from the app and receive recipes from others who use the app! Such a wonderful tool resulting in ones personal cookbook!!!!.Version: 6.0.2
2 appsPlease help. I have 2 different apps that don’t communicate. I have loved this app for years. I have put the new app on my iPad and can finally move recipes from my iphone, but the iPad app does not fill my iPad Pro screen. Please help with that. The old iPad app had a full screen and turned so nicely. Please please fix!!.Version: 6.0
Mr CarterI’ve been using this app for several years now. It’s ease of use, broad range of automatic down loads and syncing between my devices have made it a real pleasure use. As I live a low carb lifestyle having one place to store my recipes with quick access from anywhere I am is wonderful..Version: 6.0.2
Best recipe appI have used recipe box for years. I mostly use it on my iPad. I like apps that you can purchase, I don’t mind paying for a good app, and now I can just use it. No in app purchases, no ads etc. It stores and categories recipes for easy access. Thanks for keeping this app updated..Version: 6.0.2
Love this AppGreat app for recipe's. I am always putting in recipe's from foodie magazines in it. The wife and I try to cook something new once a month. I would if given 5 stars but the sync between devices is hit or miss. May have to try 5 or 6 times before it works. Also it would be nice to have the shopping list button on the ingredient page..Version: 5.0.2
Great appLove this app. Has all my saved recipes and they are easy to load and find. Thought I had lost my recipes on another app that is no longer available but luckily I had saved my recipes here also. I am so relieved. Would recommend to others..Version: 6.0.2
Mixed thoughtsI’ve used Recipe Box for many years and love it. I thought this app would be a great way to pull up the ingredients list while at the store. My issue is that the name is the same and both Recipe Box apps appear on all 3 of my iPads. Which makes me nuts. Now the iPads don’t want won’t share recipes. The import export just doesn’t work..Version: 5.0.2
My Go-ToGreat to be able to import the recipes I want, to type in my old favorites, then have them in hand at the grocery store when I’ve not had time to make a list. I especially enjoy sharing across iPhone and iPad..Version: 6.0.1
Unable to transfer recipes from my phone to my iPadThis is such a handy app, and I love having recipes on my phone. I often scan through to see what might sound good for dinner - so handy! But I am still having problems sharing from one to the other. It’s really frustrating. There hasn’t been an update in awhile either..Version: 6.0.1
Problem with sharing between devicesCan’t seem to “share” between my devices. Usually it works but now when I click on “share”, it says “ready to receive”.Version: 6.0.1
A really great app!!!I think this is a great app. It is now the only recipe app I use. Never had a lick of trouble with it. Best part is how easy I can share recipes. Which makes it a snap to work between my iPhone and iPad. Keep up the good work!!!!!! Highly recommend it!!!.Version: 6.0.2
Love the app BUT it needs to be updated for iOSI was an early adopter of this app and have relied on it for many years on my iPad. I try to keep a copy of recipes on my phone for impromptu shopping lists but recently learned the recipe link function does not work with latest IOS. Seeing it hasn’t been updated in years, I hope this is not the beginning of the end for the viability of this app..Version: 5.0.2
Love this App BUTI love this app but it will not link to my ipad from my iphone or reverse it use to work and now I cannot get it to work for nothing. I have to email the recipe back and forth a lot of waste of time BUT I do love the other options this app has..Version: 6.0.2
Exceptional AppThis is one of, if not the best recipe app out there. Update bug: I notice now that when I’m copying and pasting between the app and websites, the app will shut down randomly (never happened before). If it could be fixed; that would be awesome..Version: 6.0.2
SyncingI love this app but it just wont sync , it says to have wifi on , well it is on and wont sync , help please.Version: 6.0.1
Can’t transfer between devicesI’ve had this app installed for years. The new “import from the web” is fantastic though, no issues and it is very convenient. But I can’t share (transfer) from iPhone to iPad or vice versa, each device shows “Ready to receive recipes” in the Status box. This function worked initially but failed within the first five transfers..Version: 6.0.1
Quirky, but goodOverall, I like this app out of the ones I tried. But I want to add a Category (Nuts and Seeds) and I don’t know how. The FAQ says to edit Categories in the Settings page. THERE IS NO SETTINGS PAGE!! Also, when you add a photo, you can’t click save or continue editing. You have to make like you’re abandoning the entire recipe (by clicking “Back”). Luckily, at that point, it asks if you want to save first..Version: 6.0.1
Been using this app for yearsI have been using this app for years to organize my recipes. It is easy to use, great import functionality. It is always been upgraded. It is also easy to send my friends and family recipes using email or messenger. I highly recommend..Version: 6.0.1
Amazing appThe only app you need.Version: 6.0
Not updated, no longer functions as neededThis app was perfect originally, but it clearly needs updating to work with newer OS. It no longer shares or imports instantly, which it what made it so terrific originally. Disappointing..Version: 5.0.2
Syncing IssuesLove this app. The only issue is it won’t sync anymore between devices..Version: 5.0.2
Great appI have been using this app for a few years now and it is the best I have seen. It’s on my phone and tablet. I have gifted it to family and friends. Then I would sync or send the recipes they want. Also very easy to download new recipes or add family favourites ! I usually print the recipe on scrap then recycle it..Version: 5.0.2
The Recipe BoxLove this app. Have it on my ipad and I bought The Recipe Box To Go as well. Very convenient to use. Easy to copy and paste recipes from various sources. I transferred the recipes from my iPad app to the new one in seconds, although I had 100 or more recipes to transfer..Version: 5.0.2
J'adore !C'est la Meilleur application pour mes recettes...fonctionne vraiment bien ! Je l'adore 😍.Version: 5.0.2
BRILLIANT!!Love...love...LOVE this app!! I've been using this along with the iPad version for years! Kudos to the developer. 👏🏻.Version: 5.0.2

Can't import!I have this app on both my phone and iPad. Works great on the iPad but will not import recipes on my phone. Very frustrating :(.Version: 3.0
Great app!So useful. I love that I can customize all my recipes and input whatever I want. Very user friendly..Version: 3.0
Soooo Good!!!Very easy to use, customizable, appealing to the eye, I can take recipes I've pinned on Pinterest and import the recipes, very organized, nice presentation, the list goes on. Love it!.Version: 3.0
Love itI use the app daily and can't live without it. I have on my iPhone and iPad and love the fact that if I am out and decide to make something for dinner I look up the ingredients for each recipe at store. I like the new updates as well. Thanks.Version: 3.0
Best recipe boxI love this recipe box. I'm a professional baker and I've tried about 10 recipe boxes and this is my favorite. I have it on my iPad and my iPhone and my sons iPod so that I always have my recipes when I need them. My mom has it on her iPad too and it's nice because we can sync the devices to share recipes. It's easy to organize and add your own categories, easy to add recipes, easy to import recipes from lots of different web sites, and easy to find your recipes. No complaints here!.Version: 2.4
Easy to use, easy to back upThe app does all that it promises. I had to re-enter all of my recipes from a previous app that I couldn't update because of Apple's collusion with identity thieves, and Recipe Box made it easy. Now, with back-ups available as an option, I don't have to worry about that again..Version: 2.4
Recipe BoxThis is the most amazing app. I have it on my iPad as well. Wasn't too keen on the recipes it came with but have has fun entering my own. So easy to use either with copy and paste or instant import. Even typing them out is easy. Love the way I can get a shopping list by a click of a button and mark ingredients off as I pick them up. One of the best apps I've purchased to date..Version: 2.3
OutstandingI love this app. I noticed it on a friend's iPad and was very disappointed that there wasn't an iPhone version. Thank you for finally making one. It's so easy to put recipes in wether it's my own or from a website. And the option to sync to all devices and send to friends is awesome. And the shopping list? A little jewel. This is a must for anyone who cooks. :).Version: 2.2
Super applicationBonne application pour garder toute ces recette et en avoir de nouvelles facilement.Version: 2.2
Love it!Easy to use! Nice layout. I would like to see a spot for more types of recipes. I can see a spot for sauces/salsas but what about dips? Also the clock for prep time is abit confusing to use. Not sure if 1:30 is a minute thirty seconds or an hour and thirty minutes..Version: 2.1.1
Love itI love the fact that I can now have my recipes beamed from my iPad to my iPhone. They are at my finger tips when I am on the go and it is like an extra backup of them so if I ever have to get a new iPad again my recipes wont be lost by a pre upgrade backup overwriting my actual backup!.Version: 1.0.1
Good but it have bugsI like the categories, etc. But it's difficult to save thé recipee or save the add we made. When i use the "done" it freeze, nothing happened and i wait but i have to close the application. But When it works it's super.Version: 1.0.4
