An editorial reading of the saved reviews
BigOven has built a large recipe base over the years, but the app is now crumbling from within: cooking instructions are buried behind ads, recipe folders sort in a random order, and family sharing does not work properly.
Screenshots
What people use it for
Users with a large accumulated collection who have nowhere else to go
What reviews praise
A huge recipe base and the ability to maintain a personal collection with folders over many years.
What reviews complain about
Ads cover instructions right in the middle of cooking; folders sort in a random order.
What users experience
2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
My wife does all the research.. I'm the cook. We have each other setup so we are household members and yet, we don't seem to be sharing recipes? Is this a missed opportunity? This is really the biggest feature we want/need.
I'm a paying customer and the app is unacceptable at present. My folders don't stay sorted. Sometimes they are alphabetized, sometimes not. Even back and forth. Totally random.
