2026-07-11	Su*****	Absolutely hate this update. Can not find anything easily. Must scroll thru every recipe to find the one I want. I’ve been saving recipes here and now they are all useless.

2026-07-02	20*****	I bought this app years ago and it used to be my favorite. But I don’t understand why the layout functionality was changed or why an option wasn’t included to keep it as it used to be. Now I’m frustrated every time I go to use the app as it’s more difficult to find recipes and the larger photos take up so much room. I believe most cooks and bakers don’t look for recipes based on photos, but rather based on the name or main ingredient in the recipe so why change the layout and make the photos larger? And to get support or send the developer a request or suggestion, you have to do so through Facebook - well, not everyone has (or wants) Facebook. So many features of this app are great, but not the new layout - hoping this will get changed or I likely will be looking for a new app.

2026-06-28	Re*****	I was having some slow problems with the app, but deleted it and reinstalled it. I backed up recipes first! It now works perfectly again! I have been using this app for a few years. It became buggy, but the improvements are fantastic. Love it so much more now!

2026-06-06	ga*****	I’ve used Recipe Box for years and like it a lot. Recipes are presented in a visually appealing way and love the ability to include a picture of the result. If only the ingredient section provided the ability to have SECTION headings. I’ve tried the techniques recommended for other apps (ending a line with a colon, double “-“ and “=“ to no avail.

2026-04-04	Tr*****	This was my favorite app until it was revised and now I can’t find anything and when I do find it it’s not even set up the same. Am I doing something wrong?

2026-03-23	Di*****	I used the original version of the app for years but only a few months ago found the update. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST APPS I’VE EVER FOUND. I bake sourdough and cookies a LOT. I have probably 10 or more bread cookbooks and at least that many cookie, cake, and pie cookbooks. When I find a recipe that i really like, into this app it goes. I also download lots of recipes and the best feature of the newest version of the app how seamlessly it imports from online recipes. BTW, I spent my entire wroking career as a software engineer and manager. I would hire Kathleen in a New York minute. She clearly knows what she is doing and deserves what rewards she gets.

2026-03-10	Do*****	I have had this app for over three years and it remains the best one going. For those who like to ferret out new and interesting ways to prepare food, this should be the go-to app. The instant import feature enables me to add a complete recipe in under 10 seconds. And, the built-in set of recipe websites lets you find just the right one. The list had many sites I never heard of until I used The Recipe Box's site search capabilities. It does not come with lots of built-in recipes. That's not what it is about. It is about easily and efficiently adding the recipes you find into your single source for the food and drink you like. Want to add your own? You can.

2026-03-10	Ac*****	I’ve loved this app since it started. Now, I’,m not for sure. The updates won’t let you email a recipe to a friend, won’t open so I can see Categories. Photos are nice, but not as easy accessing certain recipes. Often, like Apple, updates aren’t always super!!

2026-03-06	Pi*****	I have used this app for several years and love it. However…one thing that makes it not so convenient is that it doesn’t sync between devices. ☹️ Is there any way to have this soon???

2026-03-05	2c*****	This used to be a really great app. They should have kept the older version. Now every time I open it I have to first reorganize the layout and the search is harder to navigate. Pretty much everyting is harder to navigate. Too bad. I will be looking for another app.
