Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

This application looks great, and it has very good organizational features, but it is impossible to enter and edit recipes, because the editor is so buggy. If you hit tab to advance to the next item, you're as likely as not to lose the ingredient line, which will sometimes corrupt all previous input. If you start with another recipe and input it, you'll struggle endlessly trying to clean it up. Sometimes, it deletes fractions and numbers, so that you enter "1 1/2 onions, chopped" and when you advance to the next line, it changes to "onions, chopped" and you have to just try and try to edit it until it magically sticks, and you finally get "1 1/2 onions, chopped." In fact there are so many bugs relating to inputing recipes that it is impossible to list them all.

Restarting the program doesn't help. Deleting the recipe can cause the corruption of the preceding recipe. I really wanted to like this program, but after months of struggling with these issues, I've decided to give up and move on. A poorly-functional or buggy recipe editor is a non-starter in a recipe management program.
