This is a really great looking app, but unfortunately it only has IOS compatibility besides Windows and Mac. My devices are Android. Too bad for that one.
I downloaded Recipe Keeper and tried it out. I liked it so much that I bought the paid version for Android. Unfortunately, you have to buy it for each OS you have, one drawback. So I paid twice and now have it sync to my Win 10 laptop, and my Android phone and tablet.
I can write out my mothers recipes in there, and take photos of her original handwritten cards and such, and attach them to each recipe for the visual pleasure of seeing her own version.
I can share by email to anyone who wants it. This is great because all my family knows I have her box of recipes, and many of them call me asking for specific ones.
There is a place to tag the recipes 3 different ways, Courses, Categories and Collections. I added "Moms Recipes" to the latter.
There is further provision for adding recipes from websites too. Pinterest for example: put the URL in of the recipe, it will find it and automatically enter it to the app, along with pictures of the dish. You can edit afterwards to remove any unwanted garbage they may attach, such as ads and more. You have to put in your own categories, which is fine with me.
Another nice feature is the ability to adjust the portion size. Feed 2 or feed an army!
All in all, this app is exactly what I was looking for, and it works very well. I recommend it to anyone who has a bunch of recipes they want to keep on hand. With syncing across all my devices, I can pull a recipe up anytime, anywhere and share it on the spot.
