Cook with YumvY 1.2.3.0
Cook with YumvY is one such specialized utility that targets Windows Phone users and enables them to browse a comprehensive database to enjoy some original recipes and find out the correct way of cooking those dishes.
Nice GUI, with a practical look
This application relies on a neat interface that has a decent design, featuring some appealing graphics and backgrounds. One of the main assets of this tool is the ease of use and the fluent browsing through the recipe database.
The content is pretty easy to access and well organized, so you can browse the recipes, ingredients, directions and other details quite smoothly. Occasionally, there are some lags in accessing some sections of the application.
The advertisement banners shown in the upper part of the screen can be quite disruptive as they are continuously changing and will follow you in every corner of Cook with YumvY.
Browse the recipes and create meals
The app allows you to easily add a new meal to the dedicated section and you can include as many recipes as you need for each of them.
A varied choice of recipes uploaded by users worldwide is at your disposal and you can check them out quite easily. There is a search feature you can use from the recipe section, but the results are rather limited, as the database seems to be less extensive than expected
View recipe details and learn how to cook them
The recipes contain all the information you will need and have some illustrative photos attached, to help you make an idea about how the finished product should look like.
One of the neat characteristics of Cook with YumvY is the ability to add to the grocery list all the ingredients from any recipe you are viewing, so it is easier for you to check those that are available and then shop for the missing ingredients.
In case you want to start cooking any of the listed recipes, tapping the corresponding button will prompt you to input some necessary details like the number of servings and cooks. Each step is carefully described, so you will not miss any operation.
A major source of discontent is represented by the sudden crashes that may result in losing the unsaved data, so you might have to restart the meal creation, for example.

Battery3
The massive power usage of Cook with YumvY drains the battery in a pretty short while when kept running continuously. |
