The Recipe Box To Go for Negative User Reviews
✓ Update to App doesn’t download photsI’ve been using this app for many years. Although I couldn’t import a recipe, I was still happy with the app. With the most updated version, not only can’t I import, but I no longer can download a photo from my iphone photo library or take a photo. That’s extremely disappointing. Since this is a free app, I couldn’t even report this issue. The app only allows for reporting when it was purchased! Weird!! I would suggest looking for another app to replace this one if you like to have a photo of the recipe you’re about to cook/bake or the convenience of importing recipes (rather than manually cutting & pasting)..Version: 6.0
✓ Lost all my recipesUsed to love the app and used it for years. Then got a new iPad, logged into the app and all my recipes gone! Won't use again.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Needs Fixing-PLEASE - 1/2 ⭐️Rating Honestly⚠️Don’t waste your time on this until it’s fixed! I loved this app when I first downloaded it several years ago and happily rated it 5 ⭐️'s. Now, unfortunately, you cannot CONTACT the developer via their link. I’ve made plenty of “Bug Reports” but it’s obvious that’s now a waste of time. The IMPORT feature and the COPY feature are not working well at all. The Import I've always found temperamental but the Copy feature at least allowed me to capture the recipe. Now, can’t do that at all :( When copying, via the Add(+)/Search Recipe feature, a red check appears denoting that the Ingredients, Directions, etc have been copied to your recipe, only to find once this tedious step by step process has been completed the recipe you thought was saved is not there at all-frustrating and a waste of time. It’s just beyond frustrating now as don’t know what to do? Do I now switch APPS and retype all the recipes already saved on this APP? Kathleen, fix, this APP please. I have too many recipes in my Recipe Box to do this all over again. This was a really great APP when it worked. Would love to have it functional again-VERY VERY SOON..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Not happy...I have had this app for a few years and loved it! I have three girls that also downloaded it and I was able to link my recipes to them when they moved out. Now the link process is not working at all. Tried with and without WiFi, using Bluetooth instead and vicaversa. I’m very disappointed. I wish they would update it and fix it..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Love the app BUT it needs to be updated for iOSI was an early adopter of this app and have relied on it for many years on my iPad. I try to keep a copy of recipes on my phone for impromptu shopping lists but recently learned the recipe link function does not work with latest IOS. Seeing it hasn’t been updated in years, I hope this is not the beginning of the end for the viability of this app..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Two different appsNot cool anymore. There are now two different versions of the Recipe Box and they don’t talk to each other. Use to load recipes into the Recipe Box on my iPad, which I preferred to use on the kitchen counter. Always exported recipes to my iPhone, so I could check the ingredients list while shopping. Then my phone decided to auto-update to Recipe Box To Go, and my iPad recipes decided that they could no longer interchange with my iphone. So there you have it, basically unusable for me. Got to go to another app, though don’t know where or how the heck I’m going export all those recipes to a different app..Version: 6.0
✓ Disappointing UpgradeI’ve had this app for years - it used to be my favorite recommenation but since the upgrade, the text doesn’t fit, it’s too dark and the sequence for adding new recipes has changed from Ingredients/Directions to Directions/Ingredients. So frustrating & disappointing..Version: 6.0
✓ Needs work…I’ve been using this recipe app on my iPad for several years. I used to love it. I could use the recipe link and share the recipes with my iPhone. Unfortunately that’s not the case anymore. The to go app is not compatible using the recipe link with the recipe box app that’s on my iPad. Please make it compatible. The whole idea was being able to have all of my recipes on my iPhone when I’m at the grocery store and not have to drag along my iPad. It once was a perfect app, but now it needs work. I hate to leave negative reviews but it once was the best..Version: 6.0
✓ Do Not BuyThis is a hopeless App. Constantly causes my iPad to freeze, will not instantly import recipes. About to search for new recipe App and transfer recipes..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Syncing IssuesLove this app. The only issue is it won’t sync anymore between devices..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Used to be much betterI have used this app for years and have invested a lot of time to get all my recipes into the app. The last few years, more and more features have stopped working. The special keyboard stopped working when I upgraded to an iPad Pro. I can rarely get the wireless sync to work between my devices. The app does not show up as an option to save to iCloud on any of my devices. You can copy the sqlite file from one device to another manually through itunes, but you lose all the pictures. It would be nice if the iCloud backup worked and if there was a way to move the pictures between devices without using the very flaky wireless transfer. If you don’t need to move the recipes between devices, it works great. I still love the app for recipes. It is pretty easy to type in recipes or to copy them off the internet. But I want to easily transfer the recipes from my iPad to iPhone. It would also be nice if there was a way to view and enter the recipes from a computer..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Does not synch anymoreI have used this app for a long time now. Family recipes now in there. Earlier this year it stopped syncing between my two iPads and my iphone. I since got a new iphone and it still won’t sync. Looking for a new app now. Need to figure out how to get my recipes out. What a shame because other wise I love this app.Version: 5.0.2
✓ DisappointedI have used this application for several years on both iPhone and iPad and loved it. But now I cannot get the app to sync with each device as it used to and I cannot get it to import recipes that used to import. I would like to see this corrected..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Good but it have bugsI like the categories, etc. But it's difficult to save thé recipee or save the add we made. When i use the "done" it freeze, nothing happened and i wait but i have to close the application. But When it works it's super.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Love this app on iPadI've been using this app on my iPad forever & love it!! Downloaded it for my phone today, because I saw that I could sync it with my iPad, yeah right!! I only have 280 recipes & I've managed to move 10 in an hour! It keeps crashing!!!! Fix it please!!.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Will Not OpenSince purchasing this app, I have not been able to open it which is unfortunate..Version: 3.0
✓ Love having all my recipes BUTWhen trying to clear items from the grocery/in the pantry list, they always manage to reload themselves back to the grocery/in the pantry list. When clearing the lists, items should stay deleted until you add them back. Some of the listed websites don't work. Kraft website crashes the app, you can't import from Betty Crocker or pillsbury...needs some updates to fix these issues..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Recipe Link feature doesn’t work anymore.I’ve used this app for several years now on both my iPad and IPhone. Over time, the Recipe Link feature has become “hit or miss” about connecting. Now, for the past several months, my iPhone won’t connect to any other devices with the Recipe Link feature making it difficult to keep my recipes synced. I also liked that I always have a back up if something happens to either device. If you only want your recipes on one device, and don’t mind doing occasional backups to a PC, this is great. Otherwise, maybe there’s something better out there. Using iCloud to sync between devices, maybe?.Version: 6.0
✓ Love My iPhone & iPadDisappointed that when I brought both the iphone and ipad version that can not use it because it need to be updated with the updated of itunes and not compatiable with the lastest iphone and ipad updates, please fix the problem and trouble paid for something that I can not use..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Don't spend your moneyDoesn't work properly. The included recipes are just "whatever". I bought it because I wanted to be able to keep track of my own as well as add some from allrecipes. Spent quite a bit of time adding my recipes and they all saved blank. Same with the ones I tried to import. Even though the app claims to support importing from all recipes and others, it didnt work for me. Basically just wasted a few hours of my day for nothing but headache..Version: 2.3
✓ Needs update or way to export recipesUnlike some other recipe organizers, this app does not export in a format that can be used in newer/other apps. Since it looks like this app is now forgotten, it is unfortunate for all of us that paid for this and have amassed a large collection. The day will come soon that even this version will no longer work with a current iOS. Hopefully it is not forgotten. Some communication for the developers would be nice..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Terrible customer serviceI PAID for this app and LOST all my recipes. I had a back up file but I had to reload iPad software. Now I can't reload JUST that file to the app. Per their instructions I have to "restore from backup in iTunes" which restores ALL the files, including the corrupt ones that caused my problems. I've tried emailing them and get generic responses. I've tried sending a message through Facebook, no response. Now I've spent two years loading recipes and they're lost. I've got a file on my computer but other than printing, I'm screwed. Don't get this app if you might ever have software trouble and expect someone... Anyone? to get back to you for help.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Useless nowI really liked this app way back when I purchased it for my iPhone and iPad. It was a bit wonky to use and get the hang of though. Then, after one of the major IOS updates, it deleted all of my recipes. Couldn't get the backup to restore. Then the developer quit updating the app. So, I haven't used it since. I haven't deleted the apps because I keep hoping the developer will come back. This is the reason I'm hesitant to pay for these types of apps. Too bad, because it was a nice app at one time..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Super glitchy!!! Needs a complete overhaul!This app is unbelievably glitchy! It has closed on me countless times when I'm halfway through writing a recipe, losing my unsaved information in the process. It freezes extremely often when looking at recipes, forcing me to shutdown and restart the app in order to continue looking at the recipe. It also often takes two tries to enter a search, which is annoying. Fix these issues! They aren't insurmountable, and frankly the fact that they exist in a PAID app in 2016 is unacceptable!!!.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Recipe Link not workingI used this feature many times in the past between my iPad and iPhone. The problem is that it hasn’t worked for a LONG time now. Any plans to fix the issue? It seems that others are having the same problem..Version: 6.0
✓ Good, but........I love to use this when I'm cooking, but shortly after I started using it, the instant import completely stopped working. It also doesn't import well between devices. I just got a new iPhone and I wanted to import all my recipes to my phone, but it doesn't want to link at all, and when it does, the app crashes half way through the import..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Would be fantastic if it workedThis app has the right idea but the instant import function rarely works so adding recipes is difficult and recently the feature that allowed me to transfer recipes from my phone to iPad stopped working so I don't have all of my recipes in one place.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Limited importing availabilityLimited sites to import recipes from.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Terrible Sync problem!!!Will not Sync with my iPad!!!!! gave one star for the look of it!!!.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Syncing DevicesI love this app but there is one thing that makes it so frustrating, you devices don’t sync like most apps do. I’m always trying to figure out is in on my phone or iPad. The ways to share them are complicated and time consuming. Would be a 5 if the just were in sync..Version: 6.0
✓ No SupportI have been using this app for several years and it still seems to work OK, but some bugs are now appearing especially when searching for new recipes. The search window typing is white rather than black and is almost impossible to read. I have been unable to reach Support if it still exists. Looks as though the app has not been updated since 2015..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Lost years of recipes...I pretty much depend on this app for meal planning every week. It became increasingly buggy, but I still had all of my recipes, so I really didn’t mind. I recently upgraded phones and YEARS of recipes, even family recipes, are GONE. I am livid. Unless you want to accumulate years of awesome recipes only to have them disappear with no possible way of retrieving them and absolutely no developer support, I suggest not even bothering with this app..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Unreliable sharing.The appeal of purchasing this app was to be able to share and receive recipes with family members. So far, 30 minutes and multiple, multiple resets/reboots of the apps and iOS devices just to get a working connection. It would've been faster to write them all down by hand. Be wary of any app whose tech support FAQ says 'we're only human!' Far better free options out there..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Great app for iPad; not for iPhoneI have had Recipe box on my iPad for many years. Decided to load it on my phone to give me a backup of sorts. I lost all the years of collected recipes when the two devices synced. I’m hoping I can recover from a backup I made a couple of months ago. I wish there had been better instructions on how to avoid data loss..Version: 5.0.2
✓ DOESNT WORKXML PARSER ERROR is all that i get, what a waste.Version: 2.0
✓ Used to Be GreatI’ve used this app for the better part of a decade. It’s really customizable and doesn’t have too much going on, like some of the other apps. But, it no longer syncs across platforms at all. Which is really frustrating..Version: 6.0
✓ Not updated, no longer functions as neededThis app was perfect originally, but it clearly needs updating to work with newer OS. It no longer shares or imports instantly, which it what made it so terrific originally. Disappointing..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Recipe Box Should GoZero! The Worst! Total Waste!.Version: 2.3
✓ 2 appsPlease help. I have 2 different apps that don’t communicate. I have loved this app for years. I have put the new app on my iPad and can finally move recipes from my iphone, but the iPad app does not fill my iPad Pro screen. Please help with that. The old iPad app had a full screen and turned so nicely. Please please fix!!.Version: 6.0
✓ Used to be greatIt appears the developers no longer care about the app. It’s a shame as when it worked it was fantastic. Now none of the shortcut keyboard works (not having to type a”tap” or “diced” each time was great). You can still copy and past, get a grocer list, bookmark or email but the import feature-along with the other features that made app great- no longer work. Apple store should just delete the option. I paid for upgrade for things that don’t work now..Version: 5.0.2
✓ WORSE MONEY SPENT ON AN APPThis app is terrible to use. Can't add recipes as easily as indicated! This is the ABSOLUTE WORST APP I have ever spent money on! Don't waste your time. I wish I could get a refund it's that bad..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Shame you spoilt itI used the previous version of this on my ipad as did several of my family so we could share recipes. This version is obviously aimed at iphone users although I suspect most of them are too busy looking at their phones to do any cooking. The result of this is that the screen is a mess, you can’t view ingredients and directions on one screen and the typeface is small. My only reason for using this version is that the print function half works on it - it won’t print photos regardless of how the option in settings is set. The print function doesn’t work at all now in the previous version. It was great before, so a classic case of if it works don’t fix it!.Version: 6.0
✓ Appear to have stopped updatingWas good app now the developers appear to have stopped supporting it. The "instant import" feature no longer exists. Some weird bar at the bottom of the import feature doesn't work in any shape I can figure. The transfer feature between devices now has problems. They should declare that it's done and time for us to get our recipes out before a big crash..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Desperately needs update.New OS needs to be updated.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Syncing (IPad & iPhone)So disappointing. The functionality is all you really need but when you sync your iPhone to IPad especially with a large list, it falls apart. Sigh. Unstable app. I suggest you stay away from this and look for another application..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Going DownhillThe update hangs on my iPad2 and 5s. I have to reset every time I use the shopping list even though I have done what they say to do. The new font and colours are a pain to read. I'm not updating my IPad Air2! Thinking about switching to Epicurious. Any experience out there?.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Can't import!I have this app on both my phone and iPad. Works great on the iPad but will not import recipes on my phone. Very frustrating :(.Version: 3.0
✓ When you get it to work it's great....Very rarely works even with major websites. I have had this app for years on several devices. The import function never works and I can't even select and enter most of the time. I have an iPhone 7 so it is not my phone. I gave it two stars because on the rare occasion it is functional it is great. However not being able to save recipes between both my phone and iPad is another draw back. Needs a lot of work..Version: 5.0.2
✓ Used to be good, developer does not care nowIt was a great app but you cannot import from websites now and this has been going on for weeks, obviously the developer has moved on and does not care about this app.....Version: 5.0.2
✓ Stopped being able to share recipes via Bluetooth linkI love the app for creating and organizing my recipes. I was able to share recipes easily with my kids via blue tooth but about a year and a half ago it stopped working. I sent multiple messages to the developer asking for help with no response..Version: 6.0
✓ Waste of moneyThis app is a waste of money unless you want to learn how to make french toast or rum and coke,you do get a couple of recipes but not worth your two dollars.Version: 1.0.1
✓ What happened?Used to love this app but can't use it now. Pages freeze up every time. Then I have to quit the app and start over to get it to work until it freezes again. No recent updates to address the problem. Doesn't sync with my iPhone either. And the new format doesn't show the photo or servings once you actually get to the recipe. Is anyone listening?? Doesn't seem so!!.Version: 5.0.2
