A pretty good replacement for my defunct recipe program
My old program is no longer keeping up with modern computers, so I had to let it go. I’ve been working with Paprika, moving my recipes over, and I am really impressed with some things, but there are some glaring omissions.
The recipe browser is awesome. Importing recipes right off the internet is really easy. I can’t praise that highly enough. Good work! It makes importing my own recipes much easier.
But the printing is really primitive, so if I wanted to print off a sheet or a recipe card (because sometimes working off a nice big recipe card instead of a little phone is just easier) you can’t do much formatting.
And there’s no “duplicate recipe” command, so if you wanted to save a scaled version o f a recipe, like a 8 x 8 version of the pan of cornbread and an 8 x 13 version, you have to work it out separately and type both in, you can’t just copy the recipe and make changes. If you want to make a cupcake master and then copy it to put in all your cupcake variations, you can’t, you again have to recopy all your recipes in over and over. I suppose you could export it and then import it again and again, but why no copy?
And you can’t seem to add things into the pantry that aren’t already on their pantry list, so you can’t have sorghum molasses on your pantry list, because it isn’t on theirs, which is weird, because this program doesn’t do nutritional analysis, so why the limitation?
It is a good program, but not yet a great program.
Oh, and delete recipe is really inconvenient. I kept accidentally installing duplicate recipes and then to delete the dupes was really annoying.
***If these problems are fixed, I promise to come back and update my review.****
