Current version 2.4 (latests since Sep-2011) has even more issues running on 10.9 Mavericks. Most notable is the scroll bar under the thumbnail images has VANISHED. It is now impossible to scroll thorough recipes. And don't try to use it on a dual screen: if you move it so part is on the 2nd screen that part disappears.

For 20 months we have been promised a newer version (on Ken's Facebook) and now the recipe manager app seems dead and no support.

I really like this application but am disappointed that neither the promised new version nor an update to turn off idisk sharing are available after all this time.

YS is a good app that suffers from a slow pace of development. The dev has been promising new features for a long time, but it's been a year since the last update. There's still no proper capability in YS to sync between Macs. I made the mistake of buying the iOS version a year ago on the promise of new features coming soon, and the ability to sync between my Mac, iPad and iPhone, but just like the Mac version, there's been no updates to the iOS app since then. I've finally given up and am making the switch to Paprika, which offers full sync capabilities and frequent updates that add features and fix bugs.

this is abandon ware which is a pity indeed

Almost 1 year ago I gave YS! a 5 star rating. While I still think this is the best recipe manager out there I've run into several problems the developer has been unable to fix. The current version 2.3.5 has several bugs that I've discussed with HungrySeacow in over 160 emails that I have kept.

I love YS' interface with the visual browser to show nice sized photos of numerous recipes in the top and overall I like the web importer.

However:
I have it crash on a far to frequent basis
While using the Web Import it may crash as frequently as 5 times in 10 minutes while I attempt to bring in 10 new recipes.

At times I import a new recipe, notice something to change but when I click EDIT it crashes - thus forcing me to live with the errors that are contained in the recipe (or delete it and hope the next import is stable).

Some recipes I've had in my library for months will suddenly no longer be editable. I've shared a list of 20 such titles and my library with the developer - he can reproduce but not fix the problem.
Even exporting and reimporting these recipes do not fix them. This implies to me there are software coding issues that do not inspect the imported data closely.

On occasion the application crashes on launch.

Since version 2.2 there have been problems with auto-fill fields not auto-filling.

The Web Importer cannot handle multi-word measurements such as "rounded teaspoon", instead placing these in the Ingredient field.

The app often crashes when I scroll the visual browser.

Searching for a recipe by name does not ignore accented characters: "ragu" will not match "ragú". Minor but something programming would fix.

Recently the developer has cut me off his Facebook site: I had previously started a discussion to collect the bug reports from other users and we had 30 or 40 submissions. I could see in their reports that I was not the only one with problems and had hoped this would spur the developer into working harder on fixing the issues. Instead I get blocked and all my discussions and submissions censored and removed.

I have over 6250 recipes in YS so I depend on it to be stable. For a while the developer quit responding to my bug reports but last week he sent me the following and I quote directly for his email:
"I suggest you delete your library and start with a new one and keep it under 500 recipes."

That is not a solution - no where does he advertise this recipe manager as supporting only 500 recipes before it breaks. I would have looked elsewhere if that had been part of the product description.

Bottom line - nice looking and functional application that has serious stability and database/library issues.

2.4 has been more stable than 2.3.x and after many weeks of troubleshooting repeated crashing when editing/saving recipes I have a breakthrough. From my 35 years of programming I was say there is a recursion bug in YS. I can open a new database with only default recipes and in 2 changes in the preferences / Smart Measurements get the app to crash repeatedly. Finding this out lead to a solution to many of the crashes I've had.

2.4 still has problems with modified images not displaying, searches not yielding correct matches, images added to the Notes section coming out huge and the developer's temper.
