"Ancient and clumsy and U.S.-centric"
Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
Pros
I can't think of anything good to say about it
Cons
* Terrible interface, clumsy and difficult to use
* Only of use in the U.S.A. - one of the only 3 countries in the world not to have accepted the metric system
* Ancient. Written in VB6 which was superseded 10 years agoSummary
Don't waste your money. Don't even bother to try it.

"Does the job quite well."
Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
Pros
OK as free software - would not pay for this though. Does what it says however...
Cons
Can't export data eg into Access to ensure that you have an independent back up. Clumsy interface.

"Lacks nutrient analysis. Crude interface."
Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
Pros
Competent management of text-based recipe database. Several useful (albeit quirky) methods for searching through recipes.
Cons
ERM cannot analyze nutrient content of recipes, so if you are controlling your diet in some fashion and need to know fat percentage, carbs, etc., this software won't do it for you. This for me was the deal-killer.
Also, although I'm not an aesthetic type, I found the user interface to be a bit crude. Not a serious problem, but doesn't help that the software is ugly in addition to not handling a basic and necessary feature (nutrient analysis) of any recipe management tool.

"$7.50 and easy to use! Try this one.."
Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
Pros
The price is right, it's easy to use, easy to learn. No problems with the download. Since the price was so low I just went ahead and purchased the registration. I received a quick replay with the registration number. Contacted support with a question and received a quick response. It was deffinately worth the price. Adding new recipes from websites, etc are easy. Just highlight and click. Adding pictures is simple. No problem to do a copy and paste to share recipes from the program to a website. Give this program a try.
Cons
Not really an issue, but this is not as "glam" as some if the pricier programs. Also felt the manual could have had a little more information. I still feel it is a very good program and worth trying.

"I'm Impressed So Far - This Does Everything I Need..."
Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
Summary
After downloading numerous organizers for my recipes, I'm happy that I've finally picked one that actually does what it claims. Entering the recipes is really easy and there's lots of features I haven't even adventured into trying yet. The price is nice too!

"You have to at least try this 1 feature"
Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
Summary
If you like to host parties, try the cabinet search feature...it rocks! You just tell the software what ingredients (alcohol, juices, etc) and it tells you all of the drinks you can make! How cool is that!

"Just what I was looking for."
Version: Electronic Recipe Manager 4.0
Summary
As far as the interface goes, it's old school application, but that's what you get from a small company. In any case, the app works great, has awesome features, and is very fast. I really like it.
