Cooky 1.0.0.0
Windows Phone users have at their disposal quite a few dedicated apps they can try for such purposes and Cooky is one of them.
This utility comes with a comprehensive database that includes modern and classical dishes, as well as beverage recipes offered by professionals and cooking enthusiasts.
Pleasant interface, easy to work with
The app comes with a neat GUI that features a nice color scheme and some nicely designed graphics that are consistent throughout the front-end.
The content is pretty easy to access and well organized, so you can browse the recipes, ingredients, cooking instructions and other details quite smoothly.
The advertisement banners shown in the lower part of the screen as well as the adverts that cover the entire screen can be quite disruptive and they follow you in every corner of the utility.
Go through the recipe collection to find new ideas
Cooky offers you in the first section a selection of dishes that are presented as the most popular choices of the day, so you can give those a try.
In case you fancy cooking a starter, a main course and a dessert you can address the corresponding section of the app form the menu shown in the left side of the screen.
If you are looking to find a specific dish to cook for someone special or for a particular occasion, there is a separate area for this in the same menu.
Should going through all the recipes by hand be a bit tiresome for you, try the search engine of this utility because it is very helpful and offers prompt and accurate results
Detailed instructions for each recipe
The instructions are clear and easy to follow, plus, if you stumble across a really interesting recipe, you can sent it in your personal collection by marking it with the star button and thus having it sent to the "Favorites" section.
Besides the ingredients and steps in cooking a dish or preparing a beverage, you have for each recipe a relevant review and the summary of the preparation and cooking times, so it will be easier for you to choose the recipes that are best suited for your needs.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The nice looks are quite appealing and the visuals are coupled with a smart organization of the content, but the ads take away some of that good feeling. |
Function8
The impressive variety of recipes, all described in great detail are the backbone of this application, but it needs a way of sharing the content. |
Security10
Very discreet on the whole, Cooky doesn't peek into any sensitive area of the system and leaves all the data stored onto the phone untouched. |
Battery6
The app needs a substantial amount of energy to run properly and the battery usage reaches high values quite often. |
Price9
A bargain to have it on board, this tool asks for nothing in return for the valuable content it provides, but the presence of the adverts is very annoying. |
Compatibility9
This utility runs well only under versions 8 and above of Windows Phone and doesn't have any special requirements. |
