Review momentum
55/100
faster than 58% of Food & Drink apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About The Recipe Box To Go
Everything you love about The Recipe Box has been lovingly frosted with swirls of vanilla mirror glaze and dark chocolate ganache, making every pixel glisten. The joy of cooking with our app is infectious, bringing smiles and delight to host and guest alike. We curated every mint sprig and dollop of raspberry purée to add elegant simplicity to the virtual plate. We hope you enjoy the scrumptious the new look, and of course we are tickled about our cheerful kitchen timer. It slices; it dices.
Ok, enough hyperbole (we're really excited!!). Our new timer feature will start a countdown with a tap on the recipe step. Control it from within the app, or from your iPhone's home screen. Switch between recipe timers with ease. We've been setting off timers just to listen to the chime.
Import recipes from the web (it's addictive!) - with expanded external browser support. Look for that signature ripe raspberry icon in any other web browser to import instantly.
You'll love sharing your recipes with friends and family, keeping those flavors of home circulating generation after generation.
Developed by foodies who love their Apple devices, this 21st-century cooking tool helps you get your recipes into a quickly-sorted, easily shared format that can’t be misplaced, covered in stains, or catch on fire. When recipes are easy to collect, easy to retrieve and easy to read, you can focus on the pleasures of preparing delicious food.
A word on our in app purchases: We're not gatekeeping - We don't charge subscriptions, track your whereabouts, sell your info, or make you watch ads, and we plan to keep it that way. But of course, we think this upgrade deserves a tip of the hat. If we've added more value to your life than our purchase price, consider a top-up once in a while. We appreciate it.
