Excellent App!
First, I dont know what the reviewer is referring to when they say you cant add a recipe without creating a new Group - of course you can! You just need to hit the plus sign under recipes within a group rather than the plus sign under groups. I find this apps very simplicity to be its major advantage. Adding and editing both groups and recipes is super simple. Recipes easily accepts cut and pasted content so I can find a recipe online, cut the ingredients, paste it to Recipes, cut the directions, etc. Then I can actually go back and edit what I have just pasted into Recipes - something I cannot do with Evernote. I also love that I can take a picture of my own food or copy the picture from the web and easily import it into this database. In many cases, it really helps to see what something should look like before you start cooking. I love the "Notes" section where you can put any little annotations or even copy and past entire sections, such as recipe reviewers comments, into the recipe. I really dont see a need for tags as you can put in any ingredient into the search box and it will immediately find the recipe(s) containing the ingredient. Once again - beautiful simplicity. The only enhancement I would like is a sister app for the iPad so I could use the recipes more easily while actually cooking. With Recipes only residing on my Mac, I have to print out each recipe in order to utilize them in my kitchen. Of course, I realize, that is a totally different operating system so is much more easily said than done. But it would be wonderful!
