Great for Keto Diet Planning

I specifically use this for Keto/Low Carb diet planning and I love it. I’m sure it works just as well with other plans as well. As I chose Low Carb preference, everyday the home page shows new recommended Low Carb recipes for me. Love that. With the pro I can organize all my recipes just how I want them. I can create my own recipes or make others Keto. I love that I can control exactly what ingredient it is reading to give me correct nutritional amounts. Love the meal planning.

I took off a star because the recipe import feature doesn’t work very well. Mostly from Wordpress sites, which most bloggers use these days. They need to develop a wordpress plugin like Yummly did to make it easy for us to post to BigOven and it would also promote their app. I just did not like Yummly, so I manually do most recipes. Fortunately, most recipes I find are already in Big Oven! This thing does not lack for choices in low carb / Keto recipes. It’s truly mind boggling.

I could not see where we could link one recipe into another and if you could add it’s nutritionals. For example, Eggs Benedict, would love to incorporate or at the least link to my low carb hollandaise sauce. Now it could be here but I haven’t figured it out yet!

Anyway, I have tried all the apps on the market and this really is the best one I have come across. The most recipes, nutritionals, meal planning, grocery list, organization.

Want to like it but too many glitches

This app seems like a dream come true in a lot of ways – I got it because I wanted to be able to add my recipes from my books to a digital format. But when you upgrade to the pro membership, you have to purchase recipe scans, which quickly run out. Then you have to buy more. A lot of people i’ve already complained about this, so whatever. That’s not my main issue anyway. This app is full of glitches. If you rate a recipe, and then change your mind about how you feel about that recipe, if you try to change the rating, the app simply shuts down. It seems that you can’t alter anything, once you finalize it. You can’t change your own recipes, even if you make an error. And you can’t remove recipes from a collection- if you try to, then it deletes ALL of the recipes in that collection. I can’t give up on this app, because I’m already too invested in it. It has all of my recipes in it. It would be way too troublesome to try and switch to a different app, but I am sick and tired of the glitches. I’m tired of paying money every month for this app, when there are so many problems with it. Why won’t people fix it?? I know I’m not the only person complaining about these things. But it seems like the people who made this app just don’t care. They’ve got you by the balls, and they know it.

What's the deal! ,

Your site is awful!

I’d give it no stars if I could! I’ve had this app for years and every time I try to look at a recipe I get smothered in ads, pop-ups, videos of unrelated things and can’t even get to the full recipe. Now you have these little heart and search symbols on the side so when I try to scroll the hearts go floating across the screen. You’ve positioned them in a ridiculously stupid place. It may help your likes but it’s a lie and very distracting. I finally decide to just got to the recipe and then there are all of these videos or ads sliding behind the content. There may be a great recipe but I finally quit because there is sooooo much junk that I’m worn out before I even get started! Then if I try to print the recipe because I find it easier to read than trying to use your app, your app makes it almost impossible to print a recipe alone! It has ads all throughout the recipe! I understand the need for ad dollars but when it ruins the pleasure of your site you’ve gone too far! Clean up your site! We are the customers and if we can’t come to your site with ease will stop coming and then your ad dollars will decrease. I hope you all take this seriously because I am getting to the point of deleting this app and banning you from my email list!
