Good software, but not very future friendly

2 years ago this and Mac Gourmet were basically the two players in the game. The future looked bright, and v2.0 was eagerly anticipated. The iPhone came along and with that so too did claims of an iPhone app soon coming.
February 2010...still no v2.0, not even a hint of an iPhone app, and not much news from the developer. There have been other instances of claims not matching reality. Announced pricing of v2 was redacted (ok I can understand that) and then later denied by the developer. It is one thing to change policies, it is another to tell customers one policy change your mind, remove the evidence and then deny you ever said the initial statement.
Apart from the unreliability of the developer is the software itself. It is 100% proprietary. You cannot migrate to another database as there is no useful export. It does what it does well, but you must be satisfied with that and expect nothing more. Other apps (Mac Gourmet) have developed, added features, have had an iPhone app for quite some time, and are moving forward.
I prefer to spend money on software that does the job and will continue to improve. Unfortunately YS has no such track record. Yes there have been improvements, but the developer was over promising and under delivering. Roping buyers, like me, in with hopes of v2 and an iPhone app. I waited, nothing came, moved to a new system and a year later still nothing that was to be years ago. Buyer beware.

Further to my previous review - the developer did get in touch with me (my fault for being too impatient) and said the issues I mentioned in my review are being addressed in versipn 2, which is a complete rewrite. That sounds great, I look forward trying it out.

I have even tried to turn regular organizing softwares into a recipe journal.
YummySoup is the best!!
I am always finding recipes, but too lazy to walk through all the steps to get the recipe into other recipe softwares. The most important part of a recipe software to me is getting the recipes into the software as you find them.
With YummySoup, if you see a recipe online, click a button and viola! You can even drag the picture of the dish into the recipe. Awesome!!
Totallly!!
If there are recipes you have in files, copy them and with the same easy import method of highlighting, they too are imported into YummySoup.
Like SmartFolders? (hamburger in recipe, 5 star recipes, to try recipes, etc)
YummySoup has it.
I sure hope YummySoup will make our recipes available in an iPhone app, so we can carry them to the kitchen. PLEASE!!! I gave 4 stars on features because the need of iPod support.
I love you YummySoup!
