High hopes for the updated version, but again I am disappointed. Despite the recipes being good, the app is not the most functional. Notifications will tease you with a 25 minute recipe so good that you want to lick the bowl! And then when you click on it, it takes you to the last recipe you looked at, a recipe that takes 3 hours or the home page. It's irritating and infuriating. Also, there is no landscape mode or measurement conversions.

I regularly use recipes from the app and it is a great resource for new meal ideas. I didn't give it 5 stars because you must be online to use it. There is no offline option. I have preloaded pages to buy ingredients, but it always tries to connect and if I don't have a signal in the store the page refreshes to blank and says you need a signal to connect.

Good app for inspiration, but measurements in imperial and sometimes not precise. E.g. one onion, is it a 30g or 100g that is normal in NY. If NYT reads this, it would have been better with all measurements in grams. If you would make it even better, an editable field that scales the recipe not on portions but say main ingredient or total yield. Now most of the time I have to convert all measurements to grams and then plug it in to a spreadsheet and use bakers percentage to scale it.
