Ratings and reviews

just started using it... looks great... soon will come back with a perfect review... thanks

Exactly what I was looking for! Will convert measurements for you. After you add all the ingredients to a recipe you can then scale it for price per serving. Adds aren't annoying but I might remove them just to support the developer.

using on my galaxy s25 ultra and it works as it should! awesome app very user friendly!
