The Photo Cookbook – Baking App Reviews

Great interesting classy recipes...app makes iPad beautiful...unique app, if the rest of the recipes are as good as the first, it will be more than worth the money. Only 60 recipes, but theyre all so interesting and non conventional

Love this app. Hope a few more recipes will follow. Maybe seasonal updates...

Beautifully created, delicious recipes

Cool concept. A few good receipe. defenitely not worth the 4.99$ you will spend in this app.

I love baking and using recipes that Ive never worked with before and this app not only combines my love of tech but baking and cant wait to use it Wednesday! Good job and keep the recipes coming. Happy Holidays!

I like the photos. Havent tried any of the recipes.

Several of the recipes I wanted to try used uncommon ingredients. - sending me to a couple of different stores. After running around to find all ingredients and cooking with loving care recipe was mediocre. Would like to have known prep time. Need more recipes.

This app functions great. Its easy to use, the recipes are simple and the design is nice. However, Ive made a few of the things and they tasted terrible. The textures were all wrong. My brownies were not gooey and the cupcakes tasted like pure eggs. It could just be me but I do a lot of baking and never had anything taste this bad. This is a great app for bakers that know what they are doing and are able to alter the recipes but for the average baker, its not worth the effort.

This was by far very embarrassing. I gave 5 dollars thinking this would be a very easy, cute, little cookbook with desserts I can bake. There are like 10 recipes. I didnt pay that much money for recipes I already know how to make. The step by step format is very helpful but come on. 5 dollars? I wouldnt even pay half that price. I can go buy a 500 page cookbook with millions of recipes for 5 dollars. Am I the only one who thinks this way? Im sure Im not the only one who was disappointed when they opened this app and found a few basic things. I dont know about you guys but I want my money back. Im not being cheap. 5 dollars wont kill nor save me but I hate to see it get wasted on something I wouldve downloaded for free. I wouldve paid that much money for a different app that has recipes more than a page long. Complete and utter nonsense. 1 star is too much of a high rating Im giving this. Do not waste your money on this. There are way better cookbooks than this.

The recipes are good, but not particularly unique. Pictures are of high quality, but again, will not harp a cook with any significance experience. Nice definitions of the ingredients. And a chocolate chip cookie recipe that makes 8 cookies???

Was disappointed to find such a limited amount of recipes. Ive had this app for almost 2 years and nothing new added. Would not recommend.

Definitely needs MORE recipes. It has very nice pictures and good recipes but def. not enough recipes at all. Needs to be updated more often!!

Get the full version of The Photo Cookbook instead - which has the same recipes and then some (though you do have to pay extra in the full version for the baking recipes, its worth it). I love The Photo Cookbook and would have given this five stars if the original wasnt so wonderful (it gets five stars from me).

Great recipes and easy to follow.

The layout is awesome and it is cool that you can see every recipes in photos however it needs on more recipes.

Pretty pictures, but thats about it. Imprecise measurements, poor ingredient choices, bad baking practices, and less then clear instructions. If you bake or cook, dont bother with this app. If you want to bake or cook, dont bother with this app. If you like pretty pictures of food, this is the app for you. Youre better off getting a real cookbook. Any recipe that calls for a half a cup plus a little extra, or a scant cup of something, is not a recipe you want to follow when baking. Cooking is an art, baking is a science.

After completing all the meager recipes provided with as much info as they give you(not that much helpful info a lot of guessing involved in their recipes/steps) you are left with nothing to do causing you to delete the app because there is nothing left to look forward to. There are pretty pictures but its NEEDS a good amount more of recipes maybe even make it social between people sharing recipes with pics.

Got it via promotion inside the Apple Store app. The pictures are delicious and extremely high quality, the interface is great

Thank you APPLE for a wonderful holiday gift. JHM
