I was looking for a cookbook app to replace the MasterCook program on my laptop. This app has exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use, has intuitive interface, easy to download recipes from websites or even from a picture on your phone. I purchased the annual subscription because I did not know if I would like it or use it. I love that there is an affordable option for a lifetime subscription because I plan to upgrade to lifetime.

The versatility of app is great. If it cannot scrape the information from the recipe site. You can manually add. The plus is being able to access on a desktop, which makes copy and pasting so much easier. Once saved on app using desktop, it'll sync to your chosen device once you open app. I use a tablet, easier to read with bigger screen. I'm using the free 40 and is great. I'm at 37 recipes at the moment and once I reach the 40 threshold, I won't hesitate the lifetime purchase.

This app is amazing! I love the meal planner and grocery list options in particular. I also love being able to cross ingredients and steps off as I go so I don't miss anything. The only downside is that I wish there was an easy way to back up my recipes in pdf format though. If there is one I haven't found it and I worry if the app ever went down I would lose all my recipes. I would love to totally get rid of all paper copes if only I knew I had a back up!
