Pros and cons of BigOven Recipes & Meal Planner app for iPhone and iPad

BigOven Recipes & Meal Planner app good for

Useful app, in English and recipes are very American. Some ingredients difficult to source in Europe.
I love to cook, I love to eat good food. I love this freakin app. THANKS ALOT.
This is a great app with many great recipes! The only thing I wish was the you didnt have to upgrade to pro to get nutritional info, it is more then id like to pay. Also, I just accidentally deleted all my saved recipes but t had a feature then brought them back, which is great! Thanks
I use this app for all my cooking needs. So many ideas and great hints for every meal.
Great Great Great !! Great Ideas. Well Explained. Love The: Use LeftOver Section.
The title says it all. This app allows me to serve my kids a real variety of healthy, inexpensive meals. Its also great that I can personalize them for our tastes. The kids love it, are starting to take an interest in cooking themselves, and even have their own favourites. I havent bought fast food since I started using this product. I totally recommend this app to all single fathers, and bachelors too ! The only thing that is missing is consistent nutritional information; Im sure if Big Oven tried, they could automate it at the time someone entered a recipe. Did you guys hear that ???

Some bad moments

No simple way to search for vegetarian dishes, so this is unusable for vegetarians or vegans. Lame.
Hate,hate hate it. 1/2 of recipes get cut off. Recipes and pics wont orientate properly. It was easier as an iPhone app to navigate
No matter what user name I enter I cannot sign in, always, "username unavailable". Ive tried a while combination of different user names other than my own and still no go. I get that there are more people in the world that have my name other than me but whats the point of having a Facebook login if my name is being used my someone else! Thumbs down.
App just stays on the home page cant even look up a recipe what the hell
This app is pretty to look at but not functional. I scanned three recipes (which counted towards my three free scans as a new user) but then I got a message that the scans werent legible and of course they didnt refund my credits so I had to spend money to buy credits (not: the scans were perfectly legible), I manually added a recipe that I cant access and my profile pic turned itself sideways in their system once I loaded it with no way to fix. And Ive only been using the app for 5 minutes. Get your act together people! Very disappointed!
Used to work perfectly, until the last update. Now it wont open, crashes every time!
