   Don’t do it. Ads and trying to get your money.

2. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

   Wants my Data. NOPE.. This is the first thing I got from opening the App. Went straight to the ‘delete’ Button. I don’t want that. “My Recipe Box asks for your consent to use your personal data to: Personalised advertising, advertising measurement, audience research and services development Store and/or access information on a device..”

   My recipe box. Does not work on my iPad. Tricked me into downloading a scan app

4. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   GARBAGE. USED TO BE A GREAT APP. Now it is GARBAGE! Can’t add recipe without going instead to an ad. Can’t get off ad. Have to restart my phone EVERY TIME I try to add an app because all they care about is ads, ads, ads. Even when the page COMES UP BLANK it won’t let me past ad screen. Keeping the app because I have too many recipes in it, but I will be looking for a DIFFERENT app for saving recipes, then transfer them there before I delete this CRAP!

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Poor to nonexistent sharing capabilities. My wife has the app but she can’t share recipes with me. Correct this issue, please.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Was great...... Now the app fails to sync or update

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Rescipes blurred. I paid $10 buck to upgrade this app to put more of my recipes in the app. When I upload my recipes onto the app at first it was fine but now my recipes is blurred . It is not clear picture or even closed. I waste my $10 on this app. Don't waste your money.

8. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   I love this app so much but..... It stopped importing 😩😭 it made it so easy. Worked for 1 day. Then I go back next day to start importing more, and it's not working. 😞

9. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Use to love it. I got this app a few years ago and absolutely loved it. So much I got the paid version. Now this new update have ads and videos that constantly pop up. Would not recommend any more. ****UPDATE****Let me add in response to the developer; even as a PREMIUM users I had NO ads or pop-ups before your most recent update. Now since that update as a PREMIUM user, I now have multiple pop-ups and ads!!

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Won’t Open. Love My Recipe Box updated app now the app won’t open

11. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Please fix. Since the update the app it just totally white, I hate it. Changing app color in settings does nothing, top and bottom are just full on white, looks awful. Please fix.

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Do I need paid version to add categories?. Looked on your help and shows how to do so but the edit categories is not listed. Want to keep using this for recipes but need to sort by category, thanks.

13. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Kinda love hate. I just started using this app and I kind of have a love-hate with it because I would love to be able to log into the app so that I can access it over my different Apple products that I have such as my iPad and my phone I like the way out of it but that will definitely prohibit me from using this. I’m looking for something else.

14. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t let me add categories. Everything’s perfect but it doesn’t let me add categories on the plus sign for categories

15. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Ceci. I wish I could use this app across my devices. It’s a good app, but almost useless to me because i use my iPad to cook and my iphone for shopping. Please?

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Needs better sharing capabilities. I absolutely love this app but with 1 exception. I would love to be able to share recipes so that people can import them directly into their version of the app. I almost never make a recipe straight from what is written on a website so I customize them. I cannot figure out how to share it with my friend who also has the app so that she can save it directly to the app. I’ve looked on the Help feature with no resolution. When you share between users, it sends it via text in a format that I can’t open. Other than that, the app is wonderful.

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Almost perfect. I love this app, but it could use a tweak. I would like the app to open to my categories and not the alphabetical list of all my recipes. How about adding the option to let us have the categories upon opening. That makes much more sense that way anyway.

18. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Needs improvement. It’s a fairly simple but it doesn’t have any text formatting. Not being able to bullet point and bold things makes the recipes less legible.

19. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Wishing for better organizational grouping system….. Good recipe app. Simple, concise, straight forward, graphically easy to use, But, perhaps I missed something when it came to grouping like recipes into categories, thus only 4 stars. I prefer my recipes grouped in categories, i.e. all cookies together, one pan dinners, breakfasts, etc., naming categories for quick personal reference. For example if I want chicken dinner, I want favorite chicken recipes in one place, so I don’t have to flick through other unrelated items. Organizing recipes this way would make MY RECIPE BOX superior to others because it is simple, easy to use without the froufrou and unnecessary bells and whistles of other apps.

20. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Works great, easy to use.. It’d be great if you could print to a recipe card size vs. letter sized paper. Perhaps a future enhancement!

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    My recipe now. Not all pictures fit in, on some recipes when you add a picture you can only see half of the picture 🥺

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Helpful change request. I love the app and am a long time user. When you log in, the bubble that asks if you want to open you last recipe blocks the add recipe and you have to wait for it to go away. Could that be moved or smaller?

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Saving to App. I love this app but since my last iPhone update there isn’t a place that i can click on to save recipes. Can you help? Thank you.

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Recipe So Easy I’ll Cook It. The app has answered each of my questions as I tried it out. I said if I get a recipe from the internet will it put it on the app-Yes. If so then will it list the shopping cart i need-Yes. ( You put checks where you need items). My next would be modifying and adding. Shopping connected to a store. That is great what is there.

    Review. This app is wonderful💕❤️❤️❤️

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Use to love this. I use to love this app but after the latest update, it will not let me add any recipes Update: Since the ladt app update, it’s now letting me add recipes so I am loving it again!

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    This is a favorite!. Plain and simple - this one Works!

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Loving this app. I am always saving recipes. I screen shot them to a photo album or have them saved in Pinterest or Dm them to myself. This makes it so much easier!!! Love that I can name them and favorite them. The ads are short so I don’t mind them. So much better that what I was doing. I got the idea from a paid one on IG and searched for a free one. This app is a game changer for me!!!

29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    this app.. i never ever ever do reviews for apps but u genuinely had to for this. it is most seamless and simple app i have on my entire phone. it works exactly how it should and i have literally no complaints. perfection

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great recipe book. I have been using this app now going on three years. And it continually gets better with age. Thank you to the developers that keep this app getting better and better overtime.
