Multiple categories per recipe

I have rolled out an update to the Recipes App backend that allows the recipes to be in multiple categories. This makes sense with recipes as many of them seem like they should be in more than one category. You wont be able to take advantage of this until you install the new version of Recipes App. It is in the App Store review stage now. I havent gone through and put all the recipes into multiple categories though, only a few.

I have also added support to keep track of where recipes come from. So if people have free recipes that they want to share with this app, I can keep track of which recipes came from which people/companies.

I have also knocked off the Help tab from the app as it was a bit redundant. Hopefully the new version will be available very soon. The new version makes a big difference.

Recipes App

Last night I submitted the next version of the Recipes App to the App Store. Hopefully in a few days it will be available to download. There are a number of improvements in this version including the ability to browse through ALL recipes (finally!), and a new option called My Recipes. You can save any recipe and it will be available in My Recipes. In the current version of the app, some of the recipes dont display correctly and are cut off. This has also been fixed in the new version.

You dont need to create an account or anything like that to make use of My Recipes. It uses your iPhone’s device ID to remember which recipes you have saved, so the whole process is seamless to you. If you have use the ‘I Like’ button in the current version of the App, then those recipes will be in your My Recipes list.
