Importing

With the new version, why have I lost the import function when receiving a recipe by email from another user with the Recipe Box app.

Unstable app it needs updating..

ANOTHER UPDATE: When is there going to be an update. You would think with a paid app it would have regular updates so its stable. My app has started to freeze, crash when I tried and put recipes in. I cant import recipes from my other recipe box app on my iPhone & iPad & can’t email my recipes.. I have over 300 recipes saved on this app and how this app is going I won’t be able to open it soon and loose all my recipes.

UPDATE: Can’t email recipes and the recipe share link doesn’t work so can’t send copies to my other devices I have the app on. Even after trying everything in the trouble shooting doesn’t work. I get ...The recipe box is confused: The recipe box may be in an unstable state, due to the iPad mail system is not configured properly #****. You may have to exit the program to clear the confusion, but you could try don’t worrying about it first... My mail system is working fine and is configured correctly. I’ve tried turning my iPad off & on, doing a forced restart, clearing cookies etc. Is there going to be an update anytime soon to fix things. I’m wondering if the whole app is about to stop working and I loose all my recipes I have saved. I had to pay for this app so you would expect to be working properly.

This is an excellent app. I love i can store all my recipes in 1 app. Its great that you can share your recipes as well. I love how you can copy paste & edit & Its super easy to use. This is a must have app for the kitchen..

Finally update for iPad

I have loved this app and been waiting for years for the iPad update and fix syncing feature to iPhone. What an improvement. The only problem is that the capture link is now no longer showing up on the bottom of the screen when searching and finding new recipe on the web. You can copy but have to switch to the recipe to paste it now which is a disappointment and awkward. Maybe in next update this feature will be back there on my iPad. So happy that someone has been working on this great app.

Developer Response ,
