FDQN4FH  I used Yummysoup 1.x for about 2 years. Over that time, I’ve been waiting for a true upgrade for ages. Most important feature I wanted was iPhone integration. 1.x would export to PDF and then I’d use AirSharing to view, which is cool.

Now 2.x is out, with pretty much the same iPhone support. OK fine. But the upgrade took ages to arrive, and the only feature that I thought was worth the wait was the calendar. Otherwise, very cosmeticky. I just can’t see myself paying $10 to reward this behaviour. I’ll think about upgrading or switching recipe organisers when YS 1.x breaks.

KAOSAD  I have used YummySoup for about 2 years and liked it but I outgrew it, v1.9.4. So I decided to test drive other software, that's when the surprise came, my data was being held hostage. I wish I had read the reviews other than the ones here on MU before I purchased YummySoup. Yes it's simple and easy to use but a company that locks your data in such a manner should sell out to MS. If you don't mind using this program for the rest of your life, have at it. I've moved onto something that will actually allow me to export my data into something else beside a locked proprietary format.

LARRYMCJ  Nice work, Ken...but PLEASE...give us the option of having the excessively HUGE folder tree icons or smaller ones. Nearly ever app in the Mac world has that option if it has a folder tree. Thanks!  
(Version 2.0.1)

DRDUL  Congratulations on the new icon! I like the new themes, but all of them suffer from the same problem -- the font used for the list of ingredients is too large and/or the column width is too small, so that many of the ingredients wrap to the next line, lengthening the list of ingredients well beyond the bottom of the page. Some themes with more space for the ingredients would be welcome. (If I knew CSS and all that stuff well enough I could create my own theme, but I don't.)

BTW, in case anyone is wondering, it's a $10 upgrade from version 1 to version 2.

DONEBYLEE  I love YummySoup and have been using it for years, but now I want more…I want to send my shopping lists to a YummySoup app on my iPhone and have the ability to check off the items as I purchase them.

And yes I will pay for the app through the app store.

Please, please, please….

DR. GIRLFRIEND  Dear Dev:

You've punished us long enough. It's time to change that hideous icon. It looks like an insane manatee barfing onto a plate. Please have mercy.

Love,

Your devoted users.

DLWHITE  Dear Dev, PLEASE start work today on a version for the iPad.

My kitchen counter is drooling for your software plus Apple's hardware.

If anything could make YummySoup MORE perfect, that would be it!

KEDOS  I really like this app, but would be a lot more inclined to use it if this icon didn't ugly up my dock. How about another icon? Really, almost anything would be better.

FELICITYBRAMBLE  this is a great piece of software. It makes it so much easier to keep track of all my recipes.

DRDUL  In an earlier comment, I noted that the shared library feature was buggy, and could overwrite a newer shared version of the YS library with an older local version. I have since figured out how to reliably share my YS library between three Macs, and even though it's a workaround, I feel that I can now give YS the five stars it deserves. I can now retract my earlier recommendation to avoid YS if you want to share recipes between Macs, provided that you set it up the way I have.

The shared library resides in a file called YummySoup! Shared Library.YSSL. I moved this file to my Dropbox, which syncs it between my Macs. That's the easy part. The challenge is to get YS to open the shared library each time, and not the local library. How I do that is by launching the YummySoup! Shared Library.YSSL file, instead of launching YS itself. I even went so far as to copy the icon from YS to the shared library file, and create an alias to it called YummySoup. The way it looks like the YS app, so that even if my brain stops working for a moment, there is almost no chance I could ever launch YS directly, which avoids the problem of YS overwriting the shared library with the local library.

I've had it set up like this for a few months, with no problems. As an aside, the nice thing about using Dropbox for syncing is that it keeps older versions of files for 30 days, so if anything ever goes wrong, I can retrieve the correct version of the shared library.
