Handy CookBook App Reviews

Very nice app to store easily own recipes, search for them by ingredients or by name. Great work! Only feature I missed: possibilitiy to sync the recipes with PC or an website. But maybe its a new feature of a future release?! ;-)

I really like this app. It does nearly everything I would expect it to do. An idea for an additional feature: Please add the possibility to add own sub-categories, like soup-hot and soup-cold or cake-chocolate, cake-fruit, ...

I love this App! I use it daily! When I’m looking for what to eat in the evening, I search my Handy CookBook-App! But there is one Feature I really miss – and I really hope that you could give us an Update. I’d like to export all my Recipes in one File - and my boyfriend wants to import that file in his HandyCookBook-App. We want to sync our Apps. I know – I can share the recipes via E-Mail, but I don’t want to send hundrets of recipes via E-Mail to my boyfriend. So an easy “Import/Export”-Feature between the iPhones/Apps would make me really happy!

I think this app is the greatest.. The support is fantastic. The app for the iPad is great, although the previous versions are very good too. Thank you very much! I might actually learn how to cook one day!

The app is awesome. It is exactly what i was looking for, the ability to have my favourite recipes with me and take down other peoples rwcipes without needing the net. The only issue is that you cant use 1/2 cup, 1 1/4 cup ect. So its a pain to convert all my recipes.

I like that you dont need to connect to the internet to use this, but the lack of 1/2 cup options is really annoying. Id also love to be able to select "none" for the icons - since alot of them dont fit my recipes.

My mistake for not checking the requirements before purchasing, but comon, what could there possibly be about a recipe database that prevents it from working on an iPod Touch???

I used it since two months now When my guest asking me for recipie I CAN send it right away. The grocery list is very usefull

Fraction portions have been corrected in the release I have. Online interface so you can input recipes on your computer is a great idea, but Im having connection problems, so its a bit buggy. Otherwise input own recipes, customize own categories, and get a grocery list. Terrific!

Dont bother with this one. The five stars must be from the developers friends. I really wanted to like it, but the constant timing out when I am trying to import is horrible. I cant be bothered. Horrible

I love this app! Finally I have all my recipes in one place. It takes a little while to input them, but not longer than writing them out by hand. (Many can be copied and pasted from various recipe websites that I use). By far my favourite feature is the shopping list -- you can add, multiply, or remove ingredients from your recipes, but you can also add other items to the list, and the app remembers them so that you can easily put together new lists. Brilliant!

I love this app, mainly because my main recipe program, on my desktop, is Mastercook. This is the only app (that I can find) that will transfer all my Mastercook recipes to my ipod touch. At the grocery store I have my entire recipe collection at my fingertips -- fabulous! I admit I do not use this app to enter recipes, only to transfer between my Mastercook program and the app so that I have the recipes handy. All I need now to be REALLY happy would be for this program to run on the iPad. Id definitely pay a bigger price for it -- worth every penny of whatever you would charge for the iPad version and more than worth the measly $1.99 currently charged. Wonderful. Thank you.

It would be very handy to add the possibility to backup the database to Dropbox. My Ipod crashed yesterday and when I restored, the app wouldnt start. Had to delete it and download again. I lost all my recipes...

This is a great app, especially for importing my own recipes. I would love to be able to use it on my iPad (larger area means less scrolling with floury fingers while cooking)

This is a great app for storing your personal recipes. Very simple to enter recipes into. The servings calculators is a great feature. The website interface to view, edit and add recipes online while linked to your device is very handy. Well worth it!

So far so good. It is very user friendly. I like being able to enter recipes using a real keyboard and the interface works flawlessly. You can edit the categories to whatever you want and even upload your own pictures. Finally an app that got it right

I loved Handy CookBook for the iPhone and now that Ive purchased an iPad, I was hoping to import recipes. There used to be an icon to connect with the computer but thats gone. Please update this great product!

Real easy to use

New version is just as good as the previous ones! I love this app!

Ive tried all the more "popular" ones and still come back to Handy CookBook. It might be missing an import recipe feature, but with everything else it has it still is the only one I use.
