Pros and cons of Cook IT Allergy Free app for iPhone and iPad

Cook IT Allergy Free app good for

What a great idea. This app is perfect for our family. Son has dairy allergy and daughter has egg allergy. This app lets me customize recipes to each of their allergies without having to look for recipes that are already dairy and egg free. And it inserts safe substitutions in the recipes calculated to the correct amount! I dont have to do the work to figure it out. This app takes any of the gluten free recipes and makes them safe for most food allergies. It is super easy to use. I have not seen anything like it before. Great idea!
Allergens or not this app is a “must have” for anyone who is looking for some yummy recipes and healthy living. It’s user friendly with easy navigation and allows you to see that you have many options in creating one meal.
This is a great app that is needed for the many family members that have food allergies. I love the fact that I can find recipes for them without calling them or researching the subject. Kudos to the creator of this app.
This app is just what I needed! It is super user friendly and great for my daughter who has egg and nut allergies.
Substituting ingredients in recipes is the best part of this app for me. Thanks!
I would like to see some nutritional information, like carbohydrate content. Great for people who are just finding their way after being diagnosed with Celiac!!!

Some bad moments

Expected to be able to note food allergies and avoid those items. Not an option. Huge waste if money.
Very disappointed in the amount of recipies. For the money I say it is not worth it. I would love a refund.
cant use unless I register and log in??? Why and what for??? I want a refund
What a waste! Would it be too much to actually test the recipes? Gluten free ingredients are expensive and I just wasted a couple of hours and several $$ making pancakes that the proportions were not even close on. Please nobody buy this app!¡!
I wish this app had more to it. Good idea, but it is very limited. I was hoping for a lot of ideas for my son since he is allergic to milk and I only got maybe 6. 4.99 is way to much money to charge for what this app offers.
Great concept but very disappointing. Not enough options if you are on a dairy, soy, gluten free diet. Wish I had not spent the $$
