Must-Have Recipes from Better Homes and Gardens App Reviews

This app makes finding and storing new and soon to be favourite recipes a breeze. Clearly lays out ingredients needed and how to prepare. Even includes nutritional information for those with their eyes on the scale.

This is THE BEST COOKING APP, that I have ever seen and believe me I think Ive tried them all because I love to cook and try new recipes! I was literally drooling, perusing the different meal ideas and desserts! Its going to take me a lifetime to try all the ones I have bookmarked in my favourites, LOL :) The very best thing, other than the recipes and the price,is the simplicity of the directions, which are so easy to understand and follow and the ingredients for most of the ones Ive tried so far, you can find in any chain grocery store, which a big time saver, in my books!

I love this app! I spent 3 hours on it yesterday! I discovered the secrets to success and could get off... Ive been lookin for an easy fondant recipe for a cake but couldnt find an easy one. I found a really easy good one in the secrets to success but I would like another recipe (not chocolate reg. flavour of fondant) -please and thank you guys

I love this app its amazing! I can surprise my family with a new recipe every day.

As it promises, there actually are hundreds of free recipes included (not like so many "free" apps have a handful of free recipes but want you to pay to access the rest). Lots of awesome features too. Click a button to add all recipe ingredients to shopping list, a how to cooking tips section, excellent search options. The recipes are great - good healthy food and most are simple enough that I can make them on a work night. Since I got the app, I take out whatever I want for dinner before work in morn, when its time to cool I open the app, search "chicken" or whatever meat Im making and pick a recipe. Exactly what I was looking for!

I could spend all day on this app!! Really easy to use & tons of recipes. They even have a "how to" section.

Simply the best all-round comprehensive user friendly recipe book. A pleasure to cook with in the kitchen. Thanks Dev!

Great recipes for every date and occasion. Very informative, Simple to use and very good food

Most of the dishes are too spicy

A lot of bugs.

They want to charge you for their recipes... Very limited amount compared to many totally free cooking apps. Why waste your time and money?

You have to pay for any recipes you search for. Betty Crocker doesnt require you to purchase the recipes you find on their app. NOT WORTH IT!

This app with very good interface. All recipes look very tasty. But Ive cooked several dishes and they were awful. So Im disappointed.

App has many bugs, and some options doesnt work. Also the interface of the app is inconvenient for me.

For a long time I put off reviewing this app. Id delete it and then download it again. I have a love/hate relationship with it. While it has a lot of good recipes it is missing too many others. Yes, its free. I get that. But still. Not one recipe for a sautéed chicken breast? Cmon! Anyway, its the confusing mix of solid classic foods (beef stew, roast chicken, pot roast) with awful recipes that use processed foods that bugs me. And what processed food recipes! Beef stroganoff casserole (?) with packaged cooked beef. Simple beef and noodles with packaged beef tips & gravy AND condensed mushroom soup! Chicken enchilada pasta with canned refried beans, a packet of taco seasoning and a can of enchilada sauce. And omissions abound. Many breakfast casseroles but not a single recipe for scrambled eggs, fried eggs or an omelette. I suppose its a "something for everyone" app. Its just not for me. For beginners wanting to learn or good cooks looking to expand their horizons, youd do better to buy Joy of Cooking or How To Cook Everything. Both are spendy, $8-10, but worth it. Several thousand truly classic recipes each. Joy even has audible cooking steps, so your device stays clean, and although HTCE offers more variations and better organization, like the ability to use a custom Favorites list to create a menu, both are excellent reference cookbooks as well as solid recipe apps for everyday kitchen use. I like them both.

I have been looking for good aps for recipes. This one doesnt seem to work very well with voice over. It doesent allow reading of list of recipes to even choose one. Do not recomend to anyone using voice over.

When (if?) the developer finally makes this thing compatible with the latest version of iOS, Ill consider reinstalling it.

Do yourself a favor and just buy this cookbook! The app is a waste of time

I downloaded this app because I use my 15 year old BHG cook book often. I liked the idea of getting modern recipes off the app. I couldnt even get a simple recipie for pie crust. This app is a waste, dont bother using up your gigabytes for this one.

Open app and get a warning that the app will slow down phone. I dont need a slower phone. Deleted immediately.
