I am fed up with this app and the developers seem to have abandoned it I have used it for about 4 years I originally chose this one because I had MacGourmet on my Mac It was okay for viewing recipes from my Mac and occasionally importing them The sync works well However the developers haven t updated this app in years and it is no longer working for me The import feature on the iOs app works very poorly even from sites that it recognizes The importer won t even open a URL if you copy and paste it with the http at the beginning The app suddenly quits when you try to save the recipe or add a picture and then your progress is lost and you have to go through the whole process over again There is no Safari extension to import directly from Safari If I primarily used the Mac app I d probably just stick with this but since I ve mainly replaced my laptop with my iPad I ll probably try a different app It s unfortunate that Mariner just doesn t seem to care about making this app better         The developers don t update this app Rachel575

I have this app and use it with MacGourmet Deluxe on my computer Love this I can sync on my phone iPad and computer Super convenient I ve used MacGourmet for years and whenever I had a problem their tech people were very supportive                     Very happy Dressmeindiamonds

Sync issues are still abundant Maybe it does maybe it doesn t If it does does it repeat them several times 50 50 chance yes Does it change preparation time categories and sequences between devices You betcha Does it then crash when you try to delete and edit those errors Absolutely Also when deleting recipes Also when reordering preparation instructions Basically just a lot of crashes Had I paid more than 1 99US for this app I d be pretty p ed but as it is easy to try and find a better replacement it d be difficult to imagine finding a worse one     Beautiful maybe but definitely not functional GrantsPass

I love the convenience of having all my recipes available wherever I am The search features and categories work great My issue is with syncing between my Mac my iPhone and my iPad On multiple occasions I have had to delete the app from my phone or iPad because notes or directions are not syncing and usually are completely missing I also get frustrated when I try to download recipes directly from another site almost never works I ve seen the message we re working on it for far too long to believe it Give this app some attention to make it really great             Not all features sync OneBeth

I ve had MacGourmet in OSX forever My hard drive failed as did my backup but MacGourmet s cloud service saved the day and all 4 000 plus recipes are back on my MBP What does that have anything to do with iOS apps you ask Well Gourmet is the sibling to MacGourmet and it s a wonderful app You can sync all or certain parts of your recipe collection to Gourmet and take it with you Mariner Software Support is awesome I highly recommend MacGourmet and Gourmet they dovetail perfectly                     Thank you Mariner for having a cloud for MacGourmet silverhawk1

I really love the app but wish syncing worked I share the app with my wife and we both have it on our phones and laptops Unfortunately my phone shows that I have 698 recipes and my laptop shows I have nearly 1000 When I sync new recipes imported via my phone appear on my laptop but not vice versa Ugh             Out of Sync Hard2Satisfy

Don t pay for this app or wait until it goes on sale It still needs so much work And I ve been using some form of MacGourmet since near the beginning so years The phone app doesn t sync every recipe off the cloud I ll be at the store go to find a recipe and it s not there Even after syncing from my Mac multiple times Can t delete shopping lists so they pile up and you have to wade through hundreds to find the one you need The meal planner isn t on your phone app at all which is so not helpful It s only a helpful app to look up a recipe if it s there Could be a great companion app but it s still not after all this time Sigh wish it were Update I m done I m outta here Got a new iMac did the migration thing and everything was messed up So I sync ed that made everything ten times worse Imported an export and bam its an utter train wreck Contacted tech support and someone did respond but he stopped responding and was of zero help It s like he didn t even read what my issues were I tried contacting support in several other ways to no avail I m being ignored The iMac app is losing functionality not gaining it s going backwards Constant crashing fewer and fewer sites to clip from It s pathetic I ve wasted hours upon hours upon hours of mindlessness trying to fix things and this isn t the first time I ve run into headaches with all this and their useless support They clearly don t care about this product line in the least Don t buy the iMac app Don t get the phone app You ll waste your life dealing with all its hassles and that s stupid         Helpful but not Squishypie

I ll second another reviewer It really needs to have the ability to look at the menu planner and open recipes from that meals I use an old iPad in the kitchen to display recipes while I cook For years I d just print them them to pdf and view them on the iPad or just print them out on paper I was hoping to cut that step out of the process and just pull up my meal with the associated recipes and switch between them while making the dishes Gourmet makes me search for each recipe each time I want to check a step in a different recipe lt s not easy to flip back and forth I have about 2 000 recipes so if I don t remember the exact recipe name I still have to dig through the search results Basically it ruins my cooking rhythm so I ll be sticking with pdf or paper If I m doing a single recipe Gourmet is easy to read and use I also like the shopping list sync In all fairness I just migrated to MacGourmet after I think 15 years at least judging by my oldest backups with TheRecipeManager and only bought this app as an afterthought                 Ok but missing menu view Gadwall

I have used MacGourmet for years but have recently 6 months ago replaced it with Paprika MacGourmet is the app I want to love It is beautiful functional customizable except it lacks one important feature I cannot check on my phone for what meal I have planned for tonight I have a busy household I don t want to go run to my Mac to see what I had planned for dinner tonight and if the kids have eaten the ingredients Now MacGourmet obviously won t tell me what the kids have eaten but a simple menu screen on the iPhone would let me take it from there From what I ve heard someone bought MacGourmet and is now just riding on the developer s coat tails No enhancements just same old app I m sorry to leave MacGourmet but that one feature is a must Too bad MacGourmet s presentation is much better than Paprika but Paprika imports recipes more easily and the no menu planner on the iPhone app is a deal breaker I ll keep an eye to see if I can come back As I said I WANT to love this app but I need an accessible menu planner function             Beautiful functional but missing a needed feature TurtleJogger

I was researching recipe and meal planning software for my family I downloaded this app and the desktop trial The iPad app crashes often and is useless unless you sync it to a desktop version Disappointing and made my decision easy I m going with Cook n or Recipe Manager definitely not wasting more time with this app         App Crashes and not useful unless you have desktop version also GreenIsGreat

I have been using this app for at least 6 years and it s been essential for having recipes with me at all times sharing recipes meal planning remembering which recipes are a family member s favorite or seasonal for a particular month using key words to tag recipes it s made eating well way more convenient than when I was using Evernote for this purpose I sync with the cloud I used after wi fi syncing for years but this is far easier I took away a star for the time when I had duplicates but that took about 30 minutes of troubleshooting and I still think this app was worth that hiccup                 Have loved this app for a long time AmyTX

I LOVE this app and happen to think it is one of the best and most reliable easy to use recipe apps out there I have 700 recipes with Gourmet Mobile MacGourmet I add recipes a few times each week either in my laptop or any one of my 3 mobile devices As I travel a lot and live between different homes and a boat my recipes are always with me which makes my life really easy The format is great it offers several different ways to print or view You can email a recipe straight from your app and recipes look professional I have not mastered the nutritional portion but I have not put any effort into it either I use my Mac Book Pro Laptop as the base and back it up to an external drive I ve only had a crash once many years ago and that was in the early days and because I had my backup the company walked me thru getting my recipes installed in a newer version I started using MacGourmet when it was just a startup used to be able to speak directly to the developer before you could sync via Wifi between devices in the early Palm device days I have 200 recipes of my Mom Dad s I have created and printed cookbooks nothing fancy from the app and given them as gifts to family and friends by having created categories like Mark s Favorite Mom and Dad etc I am vegan but my family is not so being able to segregate the recipes is an awesome help It searches easily by words ingredients not just keywords Sometimes I input recipes in my iPads or my iPhone Syncing is amazing not sure how it does it but it captures the recipes perfectly You have to learn the app but it is easy The input is also easy to cut and paste on the mobile devices as are photographs of your recipes that you take a screen shot off the internet and then paste in from your camera file I sync easily between all my devices 2 iPads iPhone and my MacBook Pro doesn t matter which one I input the recipe to first I keep my software current on all my devices and think that is a big part of the software working great Buy it learn it if you are a real recipe collector and cook you will love it The fact that I have been using this app for what is close to 30 years should tell you something right there                     In my opinion the best recipe app out there bruna831

Good luck trying to get a response from support I ve used this program for over 10 years It used to be great Now won t download recipes from any website I ve tried Bon Appetit cooks illustrated ny times and many others 5 emails to support go unanswered Is the company folding Do not buy this product May 2017 update I finally reached someone at the company after an email threatening to leave a BBB complaint They said they don t have enough support staff to correct the download problem Evidently it pertains to flash websites essentially all of them At first they said it would be fixed by July Then they changed it to late fall Don t hold your breath that s what I was told two years ago     Can t download recipes any longer Support disappeared 3for3

It is ok for looking at recipes but it crashes when I try and make a shopping list         Crashes LoreListener

I love MacGourmet on my Mac but this app won t register my email address so I cannot sync recipes Just wasted 2     Don t like Lore132
