Healthy Recipes - SparkRecipes

It’s a great app for calculating nutrition information in recipes. The ingredient database is extensive, and easy to add specific ingredients that aren’t there. But on my iPhone 11, the block for adding the recipe name is far left on my screen. I can only see 1 letter. Also, on the optional info page, to select the course, it skips ahead about 5 options when I tap Done or Next. Then it gets stuck and won’t come out of that, so I can’t save the recipe. Re-entered recipe twice, finally skipping the optional entries altogether.

I am diabetic and there’s just me to fix for so I’m always looking for different ideas for meals and also for low-carb recipes. I love making international recipes especially Thai and Korean food. I know that it’s difficult to gauge how much a portion might be and so the nutrition information may not be strictly correct but I can still get an idea or estimate the amount of carbs and I get an idea of how much fiber there is. I get so much joy and pleasure over pouring through the recipes looking at the photos and thinking about different recipes that I want to try I don’t have a wireless printer so I can’t print out any recipes but the ones that I really think I want to make I put in my favorites and then I write down the name of the recipe that I think I want to make soon. I just have so much fun with this app I think it’s absolutely great thank you to the developers!

I was so excited to use this app to calculate nutritional information for some of the home recipes I have but I was severely disappointed. I’ve tried two recipes and they both failed - i had to exit out of the app for a second on one and when I went back it said error retrieving info and lost everything I put in. The second one I got through everything, it asked me to pick a category but wouldn’t accept anything other than “dessert” got to the part to take a pic and it exited the app. I decided to take a pic to upload and when I went back in it had lost everything I’d done. Needless to say I’m beyond frustrated and won’t be wasting time putting all the info back in.

I love the recipes and the ability to search or organize by dietary needs. The nutritional information is invaluable in the case where my wife has the onset of kidney disease and needs to limit her salt, potassium and protein intake and I have to control t The recipes my blood sugars. The BUT occurs because 1) it often takes 2-3 tries before the app stabilizes and 2) I have yet to find a way to print the recipes i am using. If I could print them, I would be a very happy home chef. 👩‍🍳

Downloaded and browsed the app so far, lots of delicious looking healthy recipes, multiple ways to browse, and a helpful shopping cart function. HOWEVER. The app does not tell you how many servings a recipe makes. It shows you nutritional facts per serving, sure, but not how many servings per recipe. Which makes the nutritional facts pointless. Now, I looked at the website version, which DOES say number of servings. How hard is it to replicate this in the app?? Regret to rate this 2 stars when it could have been a 5 star app. Might update my review if they fix this issue.
