NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.
1) Maybe making space for a picture of each dish is appealing to some, I dunno. But I don't want it, I want the list view of my recipes back, the picture view takes up way too much space. Also, it reminds me too much of the new idiot-proof cash registers designed for high school dropouts and non-English speakers.
2) I have customized the categories list over the years, and had an organization I was perfectly satisfied with. While my old recipes still show the categories I had marked, and the category lists displays my custom categories, the new Yum does not allow me to assign a new recipe to any of my custom categories, but only the default categories written into the software.
3) Each time I open my recipe file, my custom categories list clones itself. The third time I opened the recipe file, I saw four iterations of my custom categories list. Well sure, I can delete the three extra lists, but guess what happened the fourth time I opened my recipe file? Yup, there were now five iterations of my custom categories.
4) No response from the developer after the email I sent.
Don't bother with v 4. You could download the latest version of v 3, but why would you want to pay money for a piece of software that is de-evolving? Find another vendor, or bite the bullet and buy a database to build your own recipe file.

The interface is nicely laid out but the inability to multi-select or select all recipes for moving or deleting is a glaring error. This would not be so bad if there were keyboard shortcuts to delete the unwanted recipes, but having to click to select each one then click the minus button at the bottom is time-consuming and repetitive; my wrist was aching after deleting only a small selection!
The program also threw up 'Multiple validation errors' which caused all the changes I had made to be lost as it was unable to save them. I have no desire to want to go through the process again!
I hope they fix these terrible UI holes soon, as they ruin an otherwise excellent recipe management application.

1. The user interface is completely new, and I'm already tired of seeing the repeated drawing of the chef's toque and red pepper, over and over again. The previous, list-style interface is more compact and makes it easier to find recipes. Under the ubiquitious toque-and-pepper icon, only a small portion of the menu title is visible, making it hard to tell which is which, even among the relatively few that I can see at one time.
2. When I try to add a new recipe, I cannot paste a list of ingredients as before.
3. When I select one category, then click on the toque-and-pepper icon for some recipe, I see "Category: Unknown".
4. When I open an existing recipe, I see that all the paragraphs are numbered, which is pretty silly for those that are not cooking steps.
5. Everything is in a harder-to-read gray font -- with serifs, no less, making it even harder to read on-screen.
I sent these objections to the developer, with examples, and his response was prompt, polite, and helpful. Then I reverted to Yum 3.2.2. If you are not already a Yum user, I do recommend buying version 3, if you can.

Handles shopping list, displays step-by-step in huge letters. NICE!
Handling of categories could be a bit easier - takes a moment to figure out how to assign (category drawer is found under menu Recipe, but not Category) - but welcome that each recipe can be in several categories. Could be a more user-friendly way to indicate what I have in stock for the shopping list. So, not 5-stars, but a very well-earned 4-star

I would love to see a keyword search function (I don't see one) to quickly find a recipe with a certain main ingredient.... say chicken or beef.

Unfortunately, even though it says on MU that "(Older versions still available via the website)", this is NOT true.
