more I absolutely LOVE this app! I rarely actually write a review but this is worth my time. I’m no professional cook, just a solid home cook but that hasn’t stopped me having loads of recipes over the years, collected on bits of paper, magazines and loads of cookery books. I’ve found loads of old recipes that I hadn’t done for years on my bits of paper. Well now the paper has been recycled and my old recipes are now digital, and at my fingertips on both my phone (if I’m out shopping, check the meal plan & shopping list! Fabulous!). All it took was taking photographs of my recipes and follow the ridiculously easy steps (which, once you remember the steps order, takes about two minutes per recipe!) adding my tags. Done and in the cloud and synced. No problems at all, smooth running, no crashing, and as it’s a cooking app... it’s easy please, lemon squeezy 😊Thank you DevsNB: One suggestion, as I said I’m just a solid home cook but a pricing/costing section would be amazing 👍🏼👏🏼😁😁😁 I’m currently cheating and using CakeUlater or sometimes Fillet (but that’s for professionals) it would be wonderful if I could have them in one app for simple budgeting? It would really fit in with the meal planning. Pretty please. 🤗👏🏼👍🏼

I absolutely love this app and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I have hundreds of favourite recipes in various books, magazines and websites etc, so it’s great being able to store them all in one place. I have always planned my family meals so it’s great the app has this feature. The new version is brilliant and you can tell the developers have worked hard to provide the best functionality for us every day cooks. The scanning software is really sophisticated and easy to use. It takes about a minute to upload a recipe from a book or magazine, and even less time to import from a website. The meal planner is really useful. I think it would be good if you could drag and drop recipes into the planner, or move recipes around in the planner rather than having to edit each day. Apart from that though, every feature is well thought out. I have subscribed to the lifetime plan as it is really worth the money and I’ll use it daily. I highly recommend this app for cooks who want to collate all their recipes and do weekly meal plans and shopping lists. Thanks loads for the most useful app ever!
Developer Response Hey TedOnions, thank you so much for your updated 5 star review!! :) we are over the moon that you're loving all of the new features in the latest update. Drag and drop in the meal planner (& shopping list) is definitely on our development list and something we'd like to build into CookBook in future. Thanks so much for your support and happy cooking :)

I have recipes all over the place, recipe books, photos on my phone, handwritten scribbles, magazine cuttings and favourites on my browser. This app has helped me collate them all. The tag function enables me to quickly find what I’m looking for and also allows me the chance to browse if I don’t quite know what to plan for dinner. I’m yet to use the meal planner and “surprise me!” functions but have no doubt they’ll please me too. It’s very satisfying taking a handwritten recipe and seeing it look so professionally presented. The pdf format for sharing is also very smart. I also like the ability to scale recipes and convert to/from various measurements. I could keep listing things I like about this app!Two points for development, very minor, would be to give an option for automatic conversion when entering a recipe. The app will try and convert one tablespoon into whatever it considers it to be in metric, seems to come out as 1.97 tablespoons. The second is I’ve seen an app with the ability for websites to share to it instead of copying and pasting an url. As I said, minor.I can’t wait to tell all my friends and family about this app!
Developer Response Thanks so much for your lovely detailed review! :) You can prevent CookBook from applying your set conversions - please see our FAQ article here https://thecookbookapp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/44001788408-why-are-my-ingredients-displaying-different-amounts-after-i-ve-hit-save- Although we don't have a direct share button within browsers, you can copy the URL, open CookBook and it should automatically notice you have something copied to your clipboard! It will then ask if you'd like to import that link. If you have any other suggestions please do pop us an email at hello@thecookbookapp.com happy cooking!

Firstly it a fantastic place to store all those recipes, especially all those you find on the internet, in cookery books and magazines. Adding them is so simple and a lot quicker and easier than retyping them. With the search function and tags it’s so simple to find the one you want and now you have them to hand you WILL cook them and more. Adding and trying out new recipes becomes an obsession and the variation in our meals has been a pleasurable bonus and we’ve rarely had the same meal twice for about 3 months. Never envisaged using the meal planner or the shopping list but it makes life so much easier, especially in these challenging times of lockdown and limited opportunity to shop. Plan your meals for the week, the ingredients are scaled to the number of portions of each meal you select, hit the shopping basket, hide the ingredients you already have and voila you have a list with all the ingredients and quantities you need to go hit the shops. Wouldn’t want to live without it.
