Ratings and reviews

I love this app but it has several bugs that make it very difficult to work with. Sometimes it's very difficult to add or edit ingredients or steps, so much so that you have to use the web interface instead of the app. I've also found out that if you get too many recipes loaded into it and apparently gets extremely buggy and the editor is almost unusable. I can't rely on the editor in this app and now write the steps and ingredients in a notepad before pasting them in. Please fix this bug.

This is an awesome app. A few years ago I decided to digitize my recipes. I did a great deal of research and couldn't find one app that checked all of the boxes for me. I finally found one that was "good enough." I used that app for several months until I heard about this app. Not only is it easy to add recipes and organize them, but it really simplifies shopping lists. I love the search function and the ability to share cookbooks. I like this app so much I donated to the developer.

I really like the look and functionality of this app. My biggest issue is that I'm a heavy user of the grocery list function and I can't find any way to categorize ingredients that don't automatically get a category. It would be nice to see this as an option as it makes shopping easier. Edit: Changed to 5 stars as my suggestion above was added to the app. Thank you!!
