My Cookbook

Started off OK, but eventually became so frustrating that it forced me to write my own cookbook app. To be fair, there's nothing wrong with this cookbook app that isn't wrong with all the other ones. The ads are annoying, and often expand to cover the recipe while you're in the middle of cooking. Import, export, sharing, data entry functions are limited. Missing some useful features (scaling, conversion, OCR...)

I'm really suspicious of cloud-based apps, especially for something like this that is basically a simple little database. This one is simple and straightforward, stores the data locally on your phone, and has a nicely brief permissions list. I would like another text field for a brief description of the dish. I would also like a night mode color scheme. I'll buy the app for white text on a black background. Edit: they added a dark mode. So I bought the add free version. Nice!

I have been looking for a simple and visually appealing app to store all my recipes and I'm grateful that I stumbled upon this one. You can personalize it with cookbook titles, categorizes, color palettes, and fonts, it has dark mode, and you can share and export/import recipes easily. The ads are not terrible, but you can pay to remove them too. Great app, I highly recommend.
