Pros and cons of Dr. McDougall Mobile Cookbook app for iPhone and iPad

Dr. McDougall Mobile Cookbook app good for

The 1.1 update removed the option to browse recipes, which is what most people like to do in order to find new ideas. Please add it back.
This makes accessing healthy plant based whole food recipes quick and easy.
This is my go to app for a recipe when I want something simple that my kids will like. Weve been a plant based family for 3 years now. The interface is getting better, its got some issues with no pictures for some recipes but there are tons of plant based recipes in here. I search for an ingredient I have in my fridge and pick a recipe that way. Works great!!
This is a great app! The only improvement I can see would be to add the ability to make menu plans that could be followed through the week. Then I can pop the recipe into the plan and generate my shopping list and no more searching for the recipe I bought groceries for.
I love this app. Use it everyday! It is my go to for plant-based eating. There hasnt been a recipe I tried that I didnt like. Thank you McDougalls for making my transition into whole foods plant eating a smooth and enjoyable one
Just received the app and really like the index. Easy to find breakfast, lunch, dinner etc items and I am sure I will be adding the extra star quite soon! Russell

Some bad moments

There are no ingredients listed on the recipes that do show up, and when you go to a category it never loads. Was looking forward to this and am very disappointed.
Night before thanksgiving and no ingredients on any recipes that will show! So sad for me. I wont be able to do something special for the only vegan in the house.
Lots of wonderful vegan dishes from Dr. Mcdougall and his wife Mary. This is an app Ill use everyday.
Easy to use and has lots of recipes. I can pull up recipes while at the store and buy the ingredients that I need without having to worry if Ive forgotten something! I also like the feature of search for a recipe based on which ingredients I have on hand.
I like the simplicity of the UI design. I love the large recipe base but theirs one problem that stands out the search feature doesnt work-if I type onion or any single ingredient it turns no results. Im not sure if this happen with named recipes. I would like to see ingredient search capable. Theirs no categories between vegan or vegetarian however recipes seem to be animal free. This app offers frugal means of ingredients as using can goods verses whole or fresh frozen which is nice for tight budgets. I recommend it. Please update the search and more healthy content Ill gladly increase my star rating.
This cookbook features the vegan, low-fat recipes that people who want to become healthy and slim (and stay that way) want and need! I can look things up while Im shopping, and avoid forgetting some ingredient I need. :-)
