Saffron: Your Digital Cookbook 4+

When I discovered this app it felt like an epiphany. I’d been trying to keep track of our favorite recipes in a google doc, with links, notes, descriptions, etc, but this just does everything we need.

My wishes:
- Make an iPad version! I use iPad for cooking much more than iPhone.
- Sharing! It doesn’t work for me and my wife. We want to keep a single family cookbook, and sometimes just share recipes, but it hasn’t worked when sharing and saving.

This app not only executes it’s main purpose (auto populating a personal recipe book with recipes found online), it also looks elegant. This is one of the most creative solutions, with sound execution, that I can find on the App market place. I highly recommend anyone give this a try, even if you don’t cook much. The beauty of the application takes all the ads, product placements, pop ups and general noise away from a cook book website. Which allows me to focus on what I need to know…which is how to cook a delicious meal.

This is one of those apps where I selfishly don’t want it to become popular so it doesn’t get transformed where it becomes one of those annoying apps with all the advertisements, etc. But realistically, I understand if the developer wants to make their return from developing this great app. So if it goes to that, I hope there will be a pay option to avoid the ads.

So far, I’ve been using the app for just under a year and I have no complaints, so don’t change a thing. Thank you!
