Recipe Keeper

I trialed this and liked how easily it imports recipes, so I clicked the Upgrade button in the app. Although all the features were unlocked and I get all the updates automatically, it's still "Recipe Keeper Free" in the Start Menu, and if I go to Recipe Keeper Pro in the Store it wants me to purchase it again, which is confusing. I recommend that if you want to upgrade, you uninstall Free and buy Pro through the Store. Pluses: Imports recipes from most of my favorite web sites, syncs across devices (if you register), very easy to use, handy timers while cooking, backup and restore functions.

I tried the app on my laptop to see if I liked it. Turned out it was very user friendly and I could copy pictures right from a word document and paste it into the app. So I purchased the pro version of the app so I could use it on my iPad. I downloaded it on the iPad and went to sign in only to find that I would have to dish out another $5 for that and another $5 if I wanted it on my phone as well. I would have given the app a 5 star review if I didn't have to pay for the pro version on every device. However, shortly after paying for the pro version I had to do a clean install of Windows on my computer and was worried I would have to pay for the app again. Low and behold all I had to do was sign in again.

The application is very handy if you store, keep a lot of recipes. The app does allow syncing with your other devices, computers, tablets and smart phones but you are required to purchase the Pro version for each device. Update: After purchasing the application for my laptop and tablet, I noticed that my laptop still shows me using the free version. I tried contacting the vendor but the link only goes to a blank page for this app. Take the time to explore other applications prior to purchasing this one.

I have been looking for over a year for an app that will keep all my recipes on the computer. I have tried various options and just found the most of the portability was just not worth the effort. Almost all of my recipes are stored as emails, in folders. I have been afraid that this was too unstable for continued long-term use. This app is so easy to use... I can import them from other websites very easy, for the "family recipes" that I have saved as emails, the copy and paste feature is so easy. The photos look beautiful and once you have saved the whole recipe... it's appearance is very professional. I also like the fact that I can adjust the courses and categories according to what is convenient for me. I like the fact that I can also use this on my android phone as well. The price is right for the pro version as well. I highly recommend Recipe Keeper... I think you will like it too!
