Pepperplate Cooking Planner 4+

I have been a loyal subscriber for over 5 years, even before it was a subscription based app. Unfortunately, even though I truly love this app, I am paying for nothing! There have been no updates nor improvements since I started paying for it. There are so many additions the developer could make to justify the subscription price, but despite my asking, I have been ignored. I wish there was an app that could live up to my standards.

I’ve used Pepperplate since it was first available. I have a wide variety of recipes from innumerable sources - lots from family members passed down from at least four generations. I also maintain a recipe collecting website, only for special recipes that we’ve found to be favorites. In Pepperplate, I keep recipes I’m going to make, someday, too. Need to size them up, or down, create menus, or shopping lists? This will help you. As a software tester, I can promise you this app is well written and user friendly. So much so that I didn’t mind it when it started costing to use it. I’ve been in so many situations where I could pick up my phone and share a great recipe with a friend. Make suggestions to the programmers - even great apps can be better.

OMG, why does the browser version of pepperplate (Mac O/S, Safari) have such useless search capabilities. I can type a recipe name in EXACTLY and find no results returned in the browser version. It's essentially useless if you're trying to hunt down a recipe. For a paid app, this is ridiculous. The App version (iPhone) works reasonably well, but the import function, via URL, only works in the browser version. So you have funcational limits in the app version, and useless search results in the web version. Again, for a paid app. Developers, please correct, or at least explain, why search results are so different/wrong in the web version. I'm considering manually extracting the recipes I care about and moving to another app, which is a shame because I've been tucking away recipes in Pepperplate for serveral years. But what's the point if I can't find them half the time?!
