after purchase extortion ruined it for me
2melindajstewart#July 24, 2016
Pros
all gone now
Cons
I am over 65 and retired on a fixed income, but loved the benefits such as entering recipes from the internet without re-typing and the Cloud storage CookN touted so moved my recipes from Mastercook to CookN. The application CookN sent me for moving my recipes did not work (it may now), so I entered all of the bulk of them by hand. I did not have the money for the latest version with all the features, so my daughter gave it to me for my birthday. I was elated. Now, they are extorting a monthly membership fee or these features no longer work. Rip-off! And Dan Oaks says he is a good Mormon. Guess that depends on your definition of GREED and the effect his has had on his patrons like me. So sad.
Summary
Took my money more than once and now features promised are out of my reach financially because of his newly instated monthly membership fee requirement. DO NOT BUY
Rip Off Hidden Charges after purchase
mikegoodwin48June 26, 2016
Pros
None. Can't sync software without paying monthly charge
Cons
I have been a Cookn' customer for over 10 years.Even though, I had to purchase upgrades from 7.0, 8.5, 10.0 & 12.0 I have been happy as a DVO customer (until now). Cookn' 12 was rolled out last winter as an upgrade to Cookn'11 with more functionality. As of now June 2016, the product that we have already has been crippled unless we pay an additional monthly subscription fee of $15 per month. That's more than Netflix! They are placing an arbitrary limit (only FIVE) on the number of recipes you can scan or capture (previously unlimited). Cloud storage is gone, which makes syncing recipes & sending shopping lists to from your desktop to moble phone impossible. This should have been communicated to us when we spent in excess of $75 for the software. I have purchased MasterCook and am entirely happy with it as a replacement for Cookn
Summary
I love this software and the apps that go with it!
claudiag47March 6, 2016
Pros
Easily save all your favorite recipes, or save favorites from the internet or Facebook, complete with pictures.
Cons
Non that I can think of!
Summary
I absolutely love the Cook 'N software and apps. I have the software on my PC and easily upload any changes to my cookbook to the Cloud. Then easily update the apps I have on my phone, tablet and iPad. If I think of something I'd like to make while grocery shopping, I just open the app and find the recipe. So easy! When I find recipes on the internet or on Facebook, it's super easy to ad them to the cookbook too. When my granddaughter got married, I printed her a family cookbook with all our favorite recipes, and she loved it. I would definitely recommend it!
Cook'n makes keeping track of recipes as easy as pie.
JulespapFebruary 20, 2016
Pros
Download internet recipes directly into "cookbook". Cloud allows access to your recipes on tablet and phone so you have them wherever you go. Search features make it simple to find any recipe in case you forget which category you originally chose. Sharing recipes is simple. Technical support responds with personal help that's simple to understand.
Cons
Technical problems occur from time to time but they are quick to help you fix them. Mobile apps don't have full functions in the newest version but I'm confident they will continue to add those.
Summary
After using other programs and searching hard for one that would meet my needs, Cook'n was the answer. I love having my recipes on my tablet in the kitchen and on my phone at the grocery. At potlucks, friends ask me for my recipe and I can pull out my phone and email it to them instantly! I've had Cook'n for over 2 years now and don't know how I lived without it. No more hunting through scraps of paper or trying to remember which book that recipe was in. For Thanksgiving, I have a saved menu that I can tweak each year, tap a button and have a shopping list. I can't imagine what else a recipe program could do but I'll bet they come up with new features that I never considered and I'll love them.
Terrific Recipe Software!
lovetocookNovember 19, 2015
Pros
I've been collecting recipes for years. They were everywhere--cut outs from magazines, scraps of paper from friends. Impossible to keep track of them until I purchased Cook'n Software. Easy to use and so many great features!! I even printed a cookbook with recipes from family & friends. DVO support is terrific, too. Anytime I've had a question, they are quick to respond and assist. They continue to add new features that make it so easy to capture recipes from the internet and pop them right into my recipe collection. Or I can scan my old recipe cards and they easily go right into my collection! They also have live recipe feeds (with yummy pictures) everyday from all over the internet. Makes searching for a recipe a breeze. I just downloaded the free IOS app and can access my recipe collection anywhere with my IPAD. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that is considering it.
Cons
Not enough time to cook all of the recipes I have collected!!
Summary
Fun to Use!!
Excellent Concept, Time Saving, and Recipe Storage Tool
angry_fedup_userJune 19, 2014
Pros
Love the web capture, love the ability to store all my handwritten recipe notes, love that it builds menus, and planning document. Appreciate that you can export to MSWord and do the formatting and design tweaking there.
Cons
Takes a bit of patience, but if you keep trying you will get your tech questions answered.
Summary
This is my recommended recipe organizer tool! I refer all my friends that are chefs, cooks, and moms to this product for recipe storage and I would recommend it for you also!
Good concepts poor programing
FRED1354February 18, 2014
Pros
The capture recipes from the internet is great as is the importing recipes by scanning paper recipes.
Cons
However the scanning import does not work and printing can by a problem. The cloud feature also never worked. Support is very poor. You have to sent and email and maybe in 3 or 3 days they reply asking what problem is again. Again 2 or 3 days later the answer is always the same - reinstall. If that does not work then they just drop you and you are out of luck.
Summary
Terrible customer support
quailccJanuary 16, 2014
Pros
Haven't been able to download
Cons
Terrible customer support, had problem with download filled out form 4 days later get email saying they need order # or email which was in the email still haven't heard on day 6
Summary
So far, I'm loving it!
St_AmosJanuary 15, 2014
Pros
I love the ability to capture recipes with the click of a button from my Pinterest boards and that I can scan printed recipes and get them saved in my Cook'n library.
Cons
I wish everyone that I love to spend time with had it so I could share cookbooks and recipes with them.
Summary
I have had this for about 2 months now and it has done everything they advertise. It has been really easy to take all my recipes on the go and especially been helpful when I create shopping lists on my phone when I have a few meals planned for the week. It is really nice to be able to use my tablet in the kitchen instead of bringing my laptop to take up space or having to print off recipes just to use them once for a meal. I had a couple of problems with the sync at first, but once I figured it out it has been working great. I have recommended it to family members and they all like it so far as well. This is by far the best thing I have used for recipe software.
Excellent!
cooknfanJanuary 14, 2014
Pros
Innovative and useful!
Cons
There's a definite learning curve to understand all of the different features and customizations.
Summary
Cook'n is very feature-rich and can be a powerful tool to make good meal-planning, shopping, and eating habits! You can find and organize recipes, display a live recipe feed from your favorite recipe websites, plan menus, create shopping lists, and even synchronize recipes between devices (mobile apps are free, folks)! It's fully customizable--which is great--and you can modify anything from the default brands, ingredients, and units of measure included with the software to even the pricing of the items when Cook'n creates a shopping list so that it's more appropriate for your area. Warning: the live recipe feed, pinterest capture, and multitude of other features can make Cook'n pretty addicting -- don't forget to actually make and eat all those yummy recipes! ;)
