## Review summary

The Recipe Box To Go is praised as an easy, long-standing way to store and import recipes in one organized library with cross-device access. However, it is plagued by reliability issues, especially post-iOS 26: crashes or data loss, inconsistent syncing/sharing between iPhone and iPad, and updates that remove or hide features like sharing and the source field visibility bugs. Core functionality remains strong when it works, but reliability is the dominant concern across multiple reviews.

### Pros

- Easy to add and organize personal recipes and import from the web, all in one place.
- Centralized library for both own recipes and web-sourced ones, making access convenient.
- Cross-device syncing (iPhone and iPad) enables continued access across devices when it works.

### Cons

- Major crashes/not opening after the iOS 26 update, with reports of data loss (recipes disappearing).
- Syncing and transferring between iPhone and iPad can be unreliable or broken, especially around updates.
- Updates that remove or hide sharing features (e.g., share option) or block visibility of the source field.
- Bugs related to the source field visibility and other UI changes bugging users.
