2022-08-11	Carlos Aguilera		MasterCook is a great tool for running multiple outlets, I am a Corporate Executive Chef and i use this program religiously. Its great to write recipes and share with other chefs and other Mastercook users, they have pre-selected recipes in there program that are great for research. Any kind of recipes and dishes that you want to create their recipe library is great. Highly recommend this program for any chef or at home user that wants to create recipes or keep your current recipes organized this is the app for you. As a chef i always have ideas for recipes and dishes this is a great tool to organize myself and let my creativity become a reality. Thank MasterCook for all your help and assistance.
2022-05-04	Dan Kraan		The MasterCook for desktop computers is a great recipe archiving and retrieval program. That fact hasn’t changed since it was first developed over 30 years ago. Yes… I have been a user of MasterCook for over 30 years! In addition to the robust program, developments over the past few years now provide a second app called MasterCook Manager. It can operate in conjunction with the desktop version of MasterCook, i.e., backups, or on its own, as a separate online app. It’s great for on-the-go access if you decide not to purchase the desktop program and provides recipe back-up for the desktop version if you have both. I have had versions of MasterCook since V2.0, up to MC2022. From my personal experience, I can attest that it has always been great program, providing a robust recipe archiving, back-up, and retrieval. Now, thanks to MasterCook Manager, it’s even portable. As with any system, there is bound to be a glitch here and there. However, reaching out to the technical support people has never been an issue and the problem is usually resolved quite quickly. Leaving negative reviews without contacting the company resolves nothing. Any time you have a problem, let tech support know that it exists! We need to report those aspects to tech support, so they can fix it. Any time I have had an issue, and it’s not often, it was dealt with promptly and to my satisfaction. They have been friendly and helpful every time.
2022-04-19	LES COOPER		We have been using Maser Cook for many years and have not encountered any issues with the program. With the recent upgrade to Version 22, we had a couple of hick-ups and we contacted support. Within a hour of submitting our ticket, we had a answer, that led to more questions. The support has been tremendous and very prompt with the answers. Everything is working as it should be. We could not be happier with the program and customer service. Thank you Master Cook!
2021-03-04	Michaelanne Widness		The MasterCook extension is a major improvement to the program. Importing recipes from websites is much easier to do, and I've had very few corrections to make.
2021-02-05	Richard Bergfeld		I have been using MasterCook for 8 years starting with Version 11 and love it. Anyone who complains about problems with MasterCook has not contacted MasterCook Support. MasterCook support is the best and most responsive software app support of any I have ever used. They respond quickly and with links to excellent detailed descriptions of how to solve any problem. By using MasterCook support to the fullest you will get maximum benefit from this wonderful app.
2020-12-27	Karen Farrell		I really like the improvements. The only step I think is unnecessary, the yes or no question. So far it has worked flawlessly.
2020-12-27	Kevin Bowman		I have used MasterCook for years and I love the MC extension. Fast and easy. You can add exactly what you want into the recipe. If you are having an issue with the extension I suggest you try there customer support - it is terrific. Kevin
2020-12-27	Lori Watson		I have used MasterCook for many years. Before updates, previous Chrome Importer Extension functioned better. Lately I have been using Firefox. New Chrome Importer will not let you scroll on recipe site to add/change info in Importer before adding it. It does not automatically open/show newly added recipe in online recipes. It also does not use my categories.

2020-12-26	Carolyn McLain		MasterCook just released an updated Web-Importer and it works great. The previous version was a little difficult to use and I had to do a lot of manual edits to get the recipe correct. Now I can use the Import Recipe feature and it is 95% right. The changes that I do have to make are minor, and only because I am picky about how I want the recipes to download into my MasterCook. Now if they can fix the APP Import feature this would be 5 stars. Have not been using it because it pulls in too much non-recipe ads. etc from the page that the recipe is on.
