Version 16.27
I have had this app for many years and recently have been adding recipes for which there are four options including providing up to three scans for a full recipe. This option is a joke. In the case I have wanted to add recipes with a long list of ingredients BigOven completely disregards my scans and provides a recipe that isn’t even mine. It’s as if they don’t want to be bothered by a long list of ingredients. Ultimately disgusted by their unprofessional and casual disregard for the recipes I wish to add the only solution has been for me to type them myself. After many years it’s time to search for a new recipe app.

I’d give it no stars if I could! I’ve had this app for years and every time I try to look at a recipe I get smothered in ads, pop-ups, videos of unrelated things and can’t even get to the full recipe. Now you have these little heart and search symbols on the side so when I try to scroll the hearts go floating across the screen. You’ve positioned them in a ridiculously stupid place. It may help your likes but it’s a lie and very distracting. I finally decide to just got to the recipe and then there are all of these videos or ads sliding behind the content. There may be a great recipe but I finally quit because there is sooooo much junk that I’m worn out before I even get started! Then if I try to print the recipe because I find it easier to read than trying to use your app, your app makes it almost impossible to print a recipe alone! It has ads all throughout the recipe! I understand the need for ad dollars but when it ruins the pleasure of your site you’ve gone too far! Clean up your site! We are the customers and if we can’t come to your site with ease will stop coming and then your ad dollars will decrease. I hope you all take this seriously because I am getting to the point of deleting this app and banning you from my email list!

I have paid for and used Big Oven Pro for 8 years now. I like that no matter where I travel I can have my recipes with me. I have thousands of recipes that I have input and saved into folders that help me meal plan, shop and cook each week. However, I am very disappointed that I am not always able to find the recipes I know I saved to a specific folder. (Also, when I open the folder it shows there are 30 recipes, but only 2 show in the list to open). They just do not come up in my search. At that point, I have to go back through my meal plans several months to find the recipe I want to cook with. At that point I can open the recipe I need directly from the meal planner. This problem has been going on for several months without any up dates to fix the problem. Very disappointing ☹️
