Recipes by Ingredients 2.1.0
Dated and simplistic UI
Users expect recipe apps to be filled with pictures and a stylish layout. This app opens with a form for adding ingredients, excluding ingredients or adding allergies and key words. You also have the option of searching for gluten free recipes.
The app doesn't come with any instructions of use or a tutorial. It has a menu with all its features, but the app requires users to register with Facebook or an email address to be able to use all sections.
Search for recipes
Once you've filled the form, you can start searching for recipes. The app also comes with a quick search option, where you can choose a category like desert, lunch etc, adjust the number of servings and calories. You can also search for meals that are ready in around 20 minutes.
The app takes a while to load and some recipes come without pictures. Still, you have the option of liking recipes, adding them to your cookbook or sharing with friends. Text can be zoomed if you wish. The app comes with few pictures and no option of enlarging them.
Create shopping lists and
check your pantry
The app comes with a few additional features. It offers users the option of creating shopping lists, but doesn't automatically add ingredients and instead users must type each one individually. The same goes with the pantry section.
Still they can share ideas with friends on social networks or upload photos of their meals. Recipes by Ingredients app also has a calorie counter, but users must purchase a membership to use it or register for a 7 day free trial.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The interface isn't appealing at all, recipes lack stylish pictures and the layout clearly needs more work. |
Function6
The app doesn't have even the most basic features found in all recipes apps, like a unit converter and pictures of meals. |
Security8
While it does need online registration, it doesn't pose any privacy risks especially if you register with an email and not your Facebook account. |
Battery7
Power consumption is normal, so you don't have to worry about that. |
Price3
The app doesn't come with ads, but in order to unlock features users should pay 13.93$ per month or try the free 7 day trial. Quite expensive for an app that doesn't even have pictures. |
Compatibility9
The app should work just fine on devices running Android version 2.2 or later. |
It needs a lot more work and recipes to justify the membership price.
