I have tried various "Cookbook" apps and I must say that My Cookbook does the job. It is a good app for keeping your recipes in one place. You can use photos of recipes already on your phone.or you can use your phones camera to capture the text for ingredients and preparation off of physical recipes that have been handed to me by family and friends. A BIG plus is that the photos are converted into text quickly and for the most part accurately unlike other similar apps that are slow. I have been using it for about a week now and if I may make a few suggestions: Add some more "fields" - the source of the recipe, difficulty for me, my rating as to how good it was, serving size and notes. I wonder if you could also make it possible to move this to my SD card? If the fields were added I would want to say this is a 10 star app. Thank you for your work.

Started off OK, but eventually became so frustrating that it forced me to write my own cookbook app. To be fair, there's nothing wrong with this cookbook app that isn't wrong with all the other ones. The ads are annoying, and often expand to cover the recipe while you're in the middle of cooking. Import, export, sharing, data entry functions are limited. Missing some useful features (scaling, conversion, OCR...)

I'm really suspicious of cloud-based apps, especially for something like this that is basically a simple little database. This one is simple and straightforward, stores the data locally on your phone, and has a nicely brief permissions list. I would like another text field for a brief description of the dish. I would also like a night mode color scheme. I'll buy the app for white text on a black background. Edit: they added a dark mode. So I bought the add free version. Nice!
