Recipe Genie, the app that cooks for you!

​

Release Date: 4/2/2015

Platforms: iOS(iOS 7+, iPhone 4 and up), Android(4.1+)



After a year, it’s finally done!!! I have been working on an app that I think is a really great idea. The app is called Recipe Genie. The basic idea is simple, take ingredients you have in your house and output recipes for the user to make. The thinking behind it is, I hate cooking and I hate trying to figure out what to cook even more. So I made this app to figure out what I can cook for me.


Setup is pretty simple, add ingredients from a huge database. Then presto, all the recipes you can make will output to the app. We now have over 1,000 recipes to pull from.


And just like that, I never have to think about what to cook again. Recipe Genie has a good amount of features with more features mapped out for the future. Version 1.0 will come with the follow features.


*Personal pantry of ingredients

*Custom recipes made with your own ingredients

*Ability to sync your pantry from the web to your phone

*Create and upload your own personal recipes

*Upload any custom ingredient

*Keep track of all the recipes you like

*Grocery list of all ingredients you need to create a recipe

*Peace of mind never having to worry about cooking again


Recipe Genie will be 100% free of charge. You can sign up or login under guest. If you login under guest you have access to most of the app, the only thing you cannot do is create recipes or ingredients. Also, by signing up you can access your pantry list from all your devices(computer, phone, tablet).


We hope that you enjoy using Recipe Genie as much as we have while testing it. It has made cooking so simple and easy that I can just go to the store and buy random things and Recipe Genie will figure out what to make with it.



Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Awesome!

 

Beautiful. I have thought about doing an app that did exactly that but figured I'd never find the time to input the first big batch of recipes or write something that would find them for me. Well, hats off to you, and it is great to see something out that does it!! I'll definitely give it a try

 

Genius idea!!

 

Thanks everyone!

Also, we have an update already pushed to Apple, just waiting on them to approve it and publish it. It just covers some fixes to UI stuff and added some extra menus when you add recipes and ingredients.

 

Android version please!

 

Soon, just need to work on some of the UI stuff. Also, I am trying to iron out all the final pieces before releasing on another platform.

-adjusted the recipe page to not drop down farther than the boarders on taller screens

Still working on the Android and Windows Phone ports. Don't have either device so it's a pain trying to find someone I can test with.

 

I am willing to be a tester, I have an Android S5.
For science!

 

Thank you, I will let you know if I need additional testers. I'll just send you the apk file when it's built.

God I love how easy it is to transfer from iOS to Android in a week.

 

The other "Recipe Genie" app came first when I "Searched" for "Recipe Genie" in the PlayStore.
(Yours is 13th on the list)
(And that is 2 swipe away from the top of the page.)

In my opinion, that isn't really good..

Tried in my S5, I cannot scroll through the Alphabets to jump to the specific Alphabet. (The Alphabet list on the right.)

Icons are far too small (On the bottom)

And some text are a bit too small to be practically read.

And lastly, the app crashed when I spam the "Next 10" in the recipe list button.

But overall, it is without a doubt an amazing app despite the small flaws in the UI Design.

Great work!

 

Thanks for all the feedback, I been struggling with the UI scaling for awhile, I just can't seem to get it to fix right(probably because I am using unity GUI instead of native GUI). I don't know why the app crashed when you hit next 10, maybe a Unity Ad popped up and got stuck on a black screen? I'll keep playing with it. Thank again though for the kind words.
