    1.0 out of 5 stars 100% failure rate in every feature I have tried
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014
    I agree with another dissatisfied buyer, AS FAR AS THE REVIEWS ARE CONCERNED, IF THIS NOT A COMFIRMED PURCHASED ON AMAZON, IT IS PROBABLY NOT RELIABLE.

    UPDATE 5/20/14 Since I posted my review I have tried all of the features. MOST DO NOT WORK AS CLAIMED.

    The program only imports from pinterest as far as I can tell, every other site, American Test Kitchen, Epicurious, Food and Wine did not work as claimed.

    They have some videos on their site to get you started, and one to tell you who very proud they are of the of the lovely new colors and icons.

    The nutrition info is for the whole recipe. Don't understand why they included a number of servings field if it is irrelevant.

    They do not buy you the recipe program of your choice if you are not satisfied, if fact they do not even respond.

    I asked for a list of files that don't automatically uninstall. no response

    I was very happy to find this program. It seemed like the answer to the very tedious task of adding nutrition info to recipes.

    I was under the impression (can't remember the source) that this program would import my recipes into the program. This was an important feature because I know those recipes and my family likes them.

    I tried to import several times. Each import returned a message that the recipe had been saved. I could not find the recipe. I finally did a search of my hard drive and there was no recipe. I contacted customer support and they responded promptly. The solution was ridiculous.

    The program requires the text to be formatted with @@@@ symbols and "| "symbols in several sections of the recipe so that the program can recognize the different areas. Seems a little deceptive to call this feature importing when that "import" can't be done without editing.

    I next tried to import a recipe from the internet (not pinterest). The result was a title, a bit of description, but no ingredients. This of course would make nutritional analysis difficult, and wouldn't do much for the shopping list feature either.

    I will give this another try tomorrow. I really hope I can get this program to be useful to me.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Recipe Software
    Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2022
    I am impressed with this software. I had been using Living Cookbook for many years until Radium Technologies became just a shell company. Cook'n has many features and capabilities beyond expectations. The biggest complaint I have is after you purchase the software, then you're hit with recurring subscription fees and other costs to use the software at its fullest capacity. If I hadn't had to enter so many recipes to rebuild my cookbook, I would have managed without the subscription. I still think Cook'n is one of the best recipe software you'll find. I've compared it to all the leading recipe software on the market and for my taste, Cook'n won out. I was disappointed that Cook'n could not import MealMaster files which was where most of my recipes were located, but I don't believe there are any software today that could have converted it. The MealMaster database was from a DOS version. I would recommend this software to anyone looking for a recipe program.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not Windows 10 friendly UPDATE: 2/24/2020

    Finally got Cook'n to "Cook" on Windows 10. However... I am furious about the terms of this purchase. There is nothing on the purchase pages or on the terms of use pages that indicate that Cook'n is a subscription service.

    On top of that, Cook'n left a note saying that our trial period was over. $85 dollars gets us a trial membership? Amazon is giving me real pause to make further software purchases. -Paul

    2.0 out of 5 stars Really wanted to love it, but it's not panning out well.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2013
    I really wanted to like this. I bought version 10 for my mom back in August, then version 11 for me over Thanksgiving. We had this grand plan to use a single cloud account to share recipes and help each other out with meal planning.

    First, we put version 10 on my mom's computer. It asked us to create a Cloud account, so we did. After syncing her computer with the cloud, we downloaded the iPad app onto her iPad. It got stuck trying to sync. I sent a help request to support and 5 days later (after we had solved the problem ourselves by uninstalling and reinstalling the app on the iPad) we got a reply from support saying they had deleted my mom's Cloud account. She freaked out! We had input some of her recipes on her computer and some on my computer which hadn't synced yet. She was worried we would lose her recipes. Now it's one giant mess.

    My software stopped working too, so I created my own Cloud account and was trying to get the kinks out of mine before dealing with hers (reinstalling mine and creating a new cloud account got it syncing again).

    Then my software stopped accessing the internet. I emailed support and they said I have to uninstall and reinstall the software. Great. Reinstall #2...for me, still haven't dealt with my mom's computer.

    So now here I am, still having not figured out how to get my mom's recipes to her (because we're no longer on the same Cloud account anymore like we wanted) and after reinstalling to fix the internet access problem, my software (version 11) has stopped syncing again.

    I am going to have to give my forehead some keyboard if I have to reinstall this one more time! Argh!

    Not to mention that every time I do something to the software on my computer, it messes with my Android tablet...which means - you guessed it! - uninstall and reinstall on the tablet.

    I haven't even been able to address the fact that when the software WAS syncing correctly and accessing the internet correctly the menus and shopping lists wouldn't sync to my tablet or Android phone. What's the point of having an electronic shopping list if you have to print it out anyway?

    I use my tablet for electronic recipes when I'm cooking and the idea was that I would have my menu electronically so that I could just pull it up on my tablet and use the recipe from there. Well the menus don't sync so I have to either print my menu and put it on the fridge then manually access the recipes.

    I have spent 2.5 weeks (and counting) trying to get this software functioning properly.

    I certainly don't have any problem with the support people, their replies are timely...but the content seems to be the same every time. Delete the Cloud account or reinstall the software are basically the only "fixes"! It's just too buggy for me. I'm not super tech-savvy, but I'm not a moron. I'm going to keep trying a little while longer because I REALLY want this to work - and I will update my review if we're able to come to a resolution.

    So I guess my main point is be prepared for the kinks and have lots of patience. If you don't use a Cloud account and have no more devices you need to use this on, then I imagine you'll do just fine.
