HOTCHICK  I like the way it works. Very simple to use  
(Version 2.7.3)

NIXANZ  There's a search field in the toolbar of the main window. By default it searches anywhere, but you can click the search field popup to limit the search to only ingredients, or only source, etc.  
(Version 2.6)

HKPEPP  Old version of 2.5.x was great until it stopped working out of the blue. I upgraded and purchased 3.0.6 and I can't open my cookbook. I can see the cookbook file but the software doesn't seem to recognize it once I click "open recent." All I get is a blank screen (actually, nothing). Any suggestions?  
(Version 3.0.6)

WJB3WVU  I've been using this program for a long time now. When it was purchased by the current developer, they changed it in a way that isn't necessarily better, so I've decided not to upgrade (for free) and have stuck with version 2.7.4 - the last iteration before changing hands. The new style seems cluttered to me, with all the flags under the category column, and all the check-marks under the recipe column. Why? The old version accomplished the same thing without the clutter. Less is more.  
(Version 3.0.5)

XANTHIPPE  Very simple, very easy to use and perfect if you need to copy/paste recipes. Yum will take the text and parse it so that you can insert all the ingredients in one go and it will split it up for you!

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  
(Version 3.0.4)

DOODAH  Great little program! Easy to use and very friendly.

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.  
(Version 2.6)

PETERSCHAUFUSS  Excellent little program - and FREE!

What I like about Yum! os the fact that it's very customizable - most other recipe programs for the Mac are very US-centric, but being from Denmark I use the metric system and also prefer to list the different foods by their Danish name.

In Yum! I was able to import a long list of food names from a recipe site, by editing the Default Food preference file, and I was able to replace the existing Units variations with my own.

The only thing is miss is a weekly planner, but instead I've just created a custom categori called "current week" where I add all the recipies I want to make in the week to come. That makes it easy to print out a complete shopping list  
(Version 2.5)

JOSART  YUM still rules in my book as best replacement of old

MasterCook Mac app. I still consider it a 10 in its field for its friendly easy of use.  
(Version 2.3.5)

TIM27  This program is great. The only thing I can think would make it better is to be able to assign a label color to recipes to highlight your favorites. Or perhaps star ratings?  
(Version 1.2)

KEMACSABE  Running Yum 0.7.14 and just downloaded 1.1, hence a question: Is there anything special I need to do to upgrade aside from backing up my recipe collection? Do I Trash the older version before dragging the new one to the Applications folder? The only oddball thing that I've experienced with this version is that when I launch Yum, a Finder window opens to locate the document. I would think there would be an automatic link to the file to open without having to search for it. Maybe 1.1 fixes this?
