Reviews for My Recipe Box: My Cookbook

Love this app. They thought of everything needed to find, file, and use recipes. I'm now in process of getting all my recipes from books, binders, filing cabinets, kitchen drawers, folders, etc., into My Recipe Box. No more hunting for them. I especially like the feature that allows for changing quantities of ingredients. Love this app!

Excellent app for storing and syncing recipes. While cooking, it's ok, like having a printed recipe card. It would be nice to be able to check off ingredients as they are used or steps as they are performed. Ads have recently gotten more obtrusive, no longer just a small bar at the bottom of the screen at the bottom. Now they can fill the screen and you have to scroll past them to see your recipe.

I love how easy this app makes it to import recipes and then categorize and sort them. And it it uses Dropbox or GDrive to sync across devices, but you can make manual backups too. This app is everything I've needed in a virtual cookbook. I've been using it for years now. It's probably the only app I've ever used consistently. LOVE. IT. (Original review was from 2018)

Great app. You can save your own recipes or import them from the internet. You can go back and edit your recipe, even add photos. If for some reason the app won't let you import a recipe you can copy and paste it and save it. It even let's you convert to pdf. Since installing it I've spent countless hours looking up recipes for my favorite dishes. Very useful.

So far, so good. I've mainly been adding recipes from the internet. It allows me to categorize and sort as well as add items to a shopping list with ease. I recently lost my recipes when another app I had been using for YEARS shutdown 😒. This has been the best option I've found since. It has been working well so far, I'll post an update if anything changes.

Been using this app through 3 phones now (haha - using transition of phones to measure time). I absolutely love how easy and simple it is to cut thru all the chatter in recipe articles, download just what I need, including pictures. The only complaint I have is that with every new phone, I've lost my beloved recipes! It's my fault, but I wish there was a easy way to backup the files.

I love this app! Does what I need it to and easy to use. I have it on my phone, and use it at the grocery store when shopping for ingredients for my recipes! Good interface with cooking sites, will grab recipes from almost anywhere thru the Share button. From some sites, after download, you may have to edit the recipe, though that's probably not this apps fault. I would highly recommend it.

EXACTLY what I needed! In downsizing some years ago, I gave my 40-year old collection of recipe books to the library... big mistake. Since then, I have been collecting recipes online using my phone, tablet, and laptop. Consequently, I could never find any of them! This app makes keeping all my recipes in one place a godsend. I can also customize them and can build a grocery list directly. Also, it syncs on all my devices! I love it!

The app didn't meet my expectations, particularly when I had to changes my phone. None of my recipes that were saved to my phone were transferred to my new phone. I really didn't and still don't understand why. Suggestion: add a nutrition calculator for recipes that are entered manually. It would be nice. Otherwise, it's a better app than most of it's kind. One reason I downloaded it was because of the grocery list option. I use it constantly.

Edir: thanks to a reply, i discover i can add a category while saving. Duh! Thanks for the lesson! Updated to 5 stars! So far, I'm pretty impressed. It would be really nice to be able to categorize at the same time you're saving, though. Right now, I have to save the recipe, then go select it from my list and then categorize it. As my list of recipes grows, I can see this becoming more cumbersome.

So far I've loved this app. Other apps weren't free where this one is. I haven't gotten to explore it completely but I'm hoping there's an option to convert my recipes to a physical cookbook or printable spreadsheet thing. Regardless, I'll be using this app either way. Love the shopping list option as well. HUGE time saver!

I've been using the app since 2018. I had to factory reset my phone the other day and went to login and sync and the option is gone. apparently I was using an older version of the app, as the only option now is Dropbox, which I have never used. I had to factory reset and reinstall this app approximately a year ago and got all of my recipes back by signing in another way (Google?)- now I can't. I lost all of my recipes. This was the best app hands down. what a shame.

I've been using this app for over a year and still use it weekly, if not more.It's so nice to be able to take a recipe from the internet and import it into my recipe box so that I don't have ot deal with the ads. This app has been one of the most useful and used apps on my phone. It is WELL worth the money for the paid version. I also love that it syncs to all of my devices and love that I can add recipe ingredients straight to my shopping list.

I love this app, it's the best thing ever developed, IMHO. You can create your own entries manually, import from the web, or snap a picture of your own or someone else's handwritten recipes and save. It eliminates the need for endless pieces of paper or stacks of books and you can sync across devices. Best of all is the ability to share recipes with friends. I flipping love it!

Update: there was an app update just a day or so ago and now the whole app keeps closing itself out calling out a bug. It's maddening, in trying to plan for the week, lol. The only thing I wish this app had was the ability to sort my shopping list manually. It's either, The way you write things, or, Alphabetical. I like to set my list up and group things together like dairy or meats. Aside from that, it's great!!

The app is awesome. It is worth the fee to not have ads. But the ads are not intrusive when cooking. I love the feature to scan recipes and importing them from websites is so easy. Meal planning and generating grocery lists are simple. The app is intuitive. I like that I make my own categories and tags. It is really easy to share recipes with friends as well.

This app is a lifesaver. I love being able to collect recipes from all over the internet (and my own mind!) in one place and organize them. I just exported my whole cookbook on my old phone and imported it into my new phone, and the process was seamless, so I'm finally leaving a review and upgrading to the paid version. Which is the other thing worth mentioning - it's free as long as you're willing to tolerate the minimal ads. Thanks for getting the basics right and keep up the good work!

Very quick and easy to use. The many sections in each recipe give multiple options in formatting. And I love being able to add pictures to each recipe. I'm still learning how to use it so I'm sure there are many more wonderful futures. I recently updated to a monthly subscription offering additional features. I am now trying to cancel that subscription but cannot access any way to cancel. PLEASE RESPOND 'My Recipe Box'.

I've used this app for a couple of years as it is easy to copy a URL and add the recipe. It pulls in only the relevant info from the website & you can easily edit. Over a year ago, I paid to purchase as I wanted to have easy access on all my devices. It didn't happen. When I went to my tablet from my phone, it didn't allow access to these recipes and was again asking me to pay, so I got my money back from Google.

Love this app. The best parts are import and share features. However, I don't like that when you use the tool to reduce the measurements, the results are displayed in decimal points instead of original fractions that were entered. What would be awesome is if it allowed you to change the measurement types. For example, convert cups to tbls and vice-versa. Who wants to measure 0.167 cups of paprika!
