Nice app that has the book published ratios Very convenient                 Loved the book foodcoman

Five dollars You could fit the information this app contains on a double sided letter sized sheet of paper with 12 point type I like the concept and it has its uses But for 5 I d like to see how these ratios adapt to different dietary requirements or something a little more encyclopedic in its scope For one thing it s extremely French classical in its viewpoint Wish I d read the reviews prior to purchasing     Very little here here Alex from the North

Complete waste of money Don t bother with this app     Hhghdtdbh

Very useful but would be satisfied if this app as it is were free I m tempted to say where s the beef but I won t Disappointed         I Agree Way Overpriced Wojo4127

I have this book and I thought there d be a little more to the app little skimpy for the price             Expecting a little more strikingtwice

Too expensive for what you get in this app I expected more from the brand     Disappointment French792

But overall it s too limited for the price I used it for a couple months and then deleted it from my iphone         This is an ok baking app Emalahow

Too minimal for a 5 app I regret this purchase     Unimpressed Leahmonique1

The first thing I wanted to do was to make a ratio for coffee but coffee isn t an ingredient and you can t add custom ingredients It also kept defaulting me to 20tbs and 12oz instead of 1tbs and 6oz like I kept attempting Not sure what s going on here but I m pretty bummed that I spent 6 on this app instead of a latte Maybe the preset ratios will come in handy this weekend for cooking food rather than brewing joe     Can t really customize elainevdw

Without the ability to save a custom ratio or recipe with anything other than the default value this app has little value The concept is great but the QA on the stated functionality gives it one star     Disappointed Chriscamzz

The app itself is awesome I have used it for years It seems to function as it always has The photos in the new version are black and white and I don t believe add to the app Interesting choice as I think it affects the aesthetics of the app Function is great New look not so much                 Great but photos are interesting Bigmac182

The importance of bug testing Very disappointed in this app especially at 4 99 The custom ratios all reset to 1 1 1 and 20 as a unit Am a big fan of Ruhlman and this is not up to his standard     Very disappointed DĂĽvid M

The update is good in concept but cannot save custom ratios all default to 1 1 1     Ratios doesn t allow me to save my ratios BrianJon

This is a great app for improvising cooks and those who just want the basic foundation to build one s own recipes on Plus they finally fixed the discrepancies between the description here the in app introduction and the blurbs for the actual book The underlying tech could use some improvement The primary applications seem to work well it s a ratio app and it needs to do math and it does Some extras are a bit off They finally got around to the iPhone 5 screen but in early 2014 it really should be fully iPad compatible The iPad is much better suited for a cooking companion than the iPhone yes these are simple formulas that will ultimately be committed to memory but not immediately and now that the mini is available there s a clear middle ground between iPhone and full sized iPad that should be supported The transparent navigation tabs and to a lesser extent title bar are a mistake When text is behind them the tabs are rendered unreadable This cannot be intentional as no one would have done this on purpose Retina graphics would be nice too Create fully iPad compatible app and this will be a five star app The content is beyond reproach Ruhlman Enterprises should bring the app up to its level                 Excellent content Tech is lacking iByron

I was an early adopter of this app its ratios really work I was suspicious of this technique but it s so useful When you cook for 2 scaling down recipes can be dicey But having knowledge of amts of an ingredient when trying to play with a recipe is simple thanks to this app May be best for those who are used to cooking rather than newbies                     The BEST piano13

Most of the functionality of this app works well but please beware while you can make your own notes on a recipe the notes are erased once you exit out of the app Not so great for creating your own recipes In need of an update Not worth 5         Buyer beware Gnisi

Very few recipes and doesn t allow you to add additional ingredients or recipes It will measure the main ingredients for one of the app s recipes but you re on your own for the measurements beyond those Over priced for what it does     Very limited app Viking795

I loaned my book to someone and it disappeared and I thought this app might be a decent substitute I couldn t recall the oven temp i wanted for a bread recipe and figured it would be in the app WRONG The ratios are fine from what I saw and remember from the book However relevant details are missing like oven temps As I went through the app some more I found it to be disappointing nothing compared to the book It is only good for the actual ratio There are no supplementary recipes which the book has and I thought might be here Connectivity to the blog is still non functioning and none of the suggestions from previous comments were taken Save your money buy the book     Buy the book Eschlis

Three for three three attempts three failures     Ratios don t work Tink3rb311

This isn t a proper cookbook but for quick on the fly baking tips this app does nicely Hasn t had a substantial update in ages iPad version sorely absent Haven t had any cooking disasters with any of the ratios however when baking bread I ve referred to proper recipe books Have had fairly good results with on the fly pound cake crepes biscuits and a few others Overall I d recommend despite lack of updates and price             Decent but neglected bbronze

I loved the book but this app is a rip off Not all ratios are represented and you cannot add your own It says that you can save your own recipe but the ingredients have to stay the same as the ratio it came from I cannot add a gnocchi recipe ratio for example This app is worth 99 cents     Not worth the price Annoyed6y6y

I m doing culinary art right now I thought this app have tons of important ratios However it contains too little ratios for an app which costs me 4 99 I recommend to buy a proper cooking book instead There are more ratios than this little app Don t buy it Waste of your value money         Don t worth for your money Andy Vo

Love this app Filled with greatness and very helpful My only hope is they update it with the ability to add new categories and new ratios                 Awesome BryanxE

I love the idea of ratios in cooking and knowing the proper ratio for what you re making is empowering What would make this app even better is the ability to enter your own ratios for types of recipes that are not included with the app I m constantly tweaking my ratios in my own recipes and it would great to be able to use this tool to make subtle adjustments without having to bust out the calculator and a piece of paper             Great concept would love some more functionality mlspaeth

This application does not allow you to add your own recipes from scratch I thought it would take standard ingredients and convert them to ratio recipes This does not do that You are stuck with different amounts of the same recipe that came with it     Not what I thought jonesc!1

I like what Michael Ruhlman does but a little surprised that the last update was Sept 2010 and that he has not yet built in an upgrade for iPad users I hope existing Ratio users will be able to upgrade when an iPad version is available     Would be better if updated for iPad Grigio N

I like this way of cooking It makes a lot more sense than traditional recipes The only thing I would say is that it needs more formulas                 Very good for the formulas it contains cooke77cooks

This app is dreadful There is virtually no content I can t believe how many people have been duped into purchasing it myself included I would really love a refund     10 1 10 awful 1 okay echw

LOVE the book I use it all the time The app on the iPhone is great when I am at the store and need to figure out what to buy It would be much better if they made it to an HD model for the iPad Like others said it would be better if you could get the egg measurements as a per egg but volumetric measurements are the more professional way to cook I would love if they added more recipes from the book too If you like the app you will love the book                 Great concept needs to be upgrade and expanded For iPad Skoobiesnacks

In the recipes where sugar is included in the ratio it has 1 cup of sugar weighing 13 2 oz when it should weigh about 7 oz I also had a problem in the About window when I tried to read blog entries An error window popped up saying Ratio can t connect to the internet You need to be online to read the blog entries I didn t really understand this since I had internet access on my phone but the worse part is that the window kept popping up when I hit Ok I couldn t access the rest of the app I ended up deleting it from my phone and reinstalling it         Sugar measurement is wrong and Nonclosing Error window SCTacoLady

Get yourself a kitchen scale learn to cook the rewarding way Could you please add the recipes you have in your book They would be so fast to refer to and always have along like when you travel                     Great companion for the book iron bridge

Love the book and love this app for everyday kitchen use Do yourself a favor by buying the app and then getting the book This app will make much more sense after reading the book This will take you from a good cook to a creative great cook                     Wonderful companion app for the book Graceful B.

I will be a GREAT App when Ratio alowes me to enter my own recipes and save them and back them up to my Desktop I would be ok with sending my saved recipes to myself via email Or maybe use iPhones notes that get synced into the Mail cliant as a note Other wise it seams to function fine Ratio s support seams to be a comments section that can be found with a link on Ratio s website that leads to Michael Ruhlman s site It would be great if support was obvious                     Good App GTGnow

This is exactly what i was needing to increase usability of the book The quick what was that proportion again and the ease and speed of this App combine into one huge A for me Thank you my husband says thanks too No more greasy viniagrettes Hurrah                     Perfect ewriterforkids

The idea of a baker s calculator for the iPhone is a good one but what good is being able to save your own recipes if you can t even add ingredients Useless     Awful jessnjim

I just finished reading the book this week an had already been jotting down notes as I went along I saw this app online and I was thrilled because it s going to save me a ton of time over making my own charts This app will do nothing for those looking for a recipe book That s the whole point of his book With these ratios there s never a recipe required                     Thank You TheChilehead

Yes you can write these ratios on notecards which is what I did prior to getting this ap But there are a lot of things the IPhone does that can be done on a normal phone a tab of paper and your laptop right Don t expect miracles from this ap but if you have read the book it s nice to have the ratios and basic techniques in one neat spot with a place to jot down recipes you ve tried Without the book i think this ap would be confusing and uninspiring As an ending thought Everyone deserves a scale My oxo one cost me 25 bucks and I use it daily It makes baking so much quicker and cleaner no more dip and level business I get irritated baking with measurements now                     Good companion for the book Byebyebabypudge

Get something else instead         Lazy implementation Sf-Roma

Being a culinary student and a fan of the book I am very satisfied with this app I was about to go through the process of making flash cards to memorize the ratios then I found out about the app WAY better than anything I d of made The calculator is awesome My only grumble very minor is that the graphics aren t updated for the retina display This app is a must for culinary students or any fans of the book                     Just about perfect Earwacks

Was a great app There was no reason to take away iOS 3 1 x functionality in Ratio v 1 0 2             No longer iOS 3 1 x compatible What a crock Vilmos Ratajczyk

This app has so much potential to be great First off tell me the number of eggs I need not the measurement of egg Second I want to put in how many servings of something I want for an estimate of how much I should make Third please change the cups measurements so that it isn t in decimals Change these and you are well on your way to a five star app Until then not worth the 4 99 because it s just too difficult to use         Needing some improvements PLEASE Friedame

Love the concept and the pie chart presentation of ingredient proportions Totally suits my style of cooking which is to take a recipe and improvise from it This allows for that so easily to subsitute one fat for another fat etc Unfortunately I m used to measuring ingredients by standard American measuring cups and seeing 2 cups of this to 8 cups of that isn t very useful I know weighing ingredients especially for baking is better but I m not quite there yet In any case I d say better to eliminate the cups unit option than to have decimal equivalents that don t translate quickly to standard fractional measuring cup sizes                 Almost awesome cooking app Shezebelle

The concept behind ratio is good The implementation no An app that isn t backward compatible with previous OS versions or other platforms iPad is simply shoddy work something you d expect from a novice building a free app not a paid for app that Michael Ruhlman is willing to attach his name to         Good concept Lazy implementation ProperMoose

Since the update for iOS 4 this app has been broken Changing more than one item e g quantity and units results in a crash This makes it basically useless     current version broken _fix_your_app

Why is this not working on my Touch It loads fine but any time I try to change the measure ounces to grams or something similar the app quits and takes me back home I ve sent a note to the support email but no response so far today I m bummed and I sincerely hope that there is a fix I will happily post another review if and when I get this running properly     Not working on my iPod Touch ThrowMeTheDisc

There was no reason iPad support had to be withdrawn     No iPad support Penguiner 123
