Ratio App Reviews

Was a great app. There was no reason to take away iOS 3.1.x functionality in Ratio v. 1.0.2.

This app was a waste of time as soon as it opens it takes me out again waste of money

Being a culinary student and a fan of the book, I am very satisfied with this app. I was about to go through the process of making flash cards to memorize the ratios, then I found out about the app. WAY better than anything Id of made. The calculator is awesome! My only grumble (very minor!) is that the graphics arent updated for the retina display. This app is a must for culinary students or any fans of the book.

Yes, you can write these ratios on notecards, which is what I did prior to getting this ap. But there are a lot of things the IPhone does that can be done on a normal phone, a tab of paper and your laptop, right? Dont expect miracles from this ap, but if you have read the book, its nice to have the ratios and basic techniques in one neat spot with a place to jot down recipes youve tried. Without the book, i think this ap would be confusing and uninspiring. As an ending thought, Everyone deserves a scale. My oxo one cost me 25 bucks and I use it daily. It makes baking so much quicker and cleaner-no more dip and level business, I get irritated baking with measurements now!

I just finished reading the book this week an had already been jotting down notes as I went along. I saw this app online and I was thrilled because its going to save me a ton of time over making my own charts! This app will do nothing for those looking for a recipe book... Thats the whole point of his book... With these ratios theres never a recipe required!

The idea of a bakers calculator for the iPhone is a good one, but what good is being able to save your own recipes if you cant even add ingredients? Useless.

This is exactly what i was needing to increase usability of the book. The quick, "what was that proportion, again?" and the ease and speed of this App, combine into one huge A+ for me. Thank you! (my husband says thanks, too. No more greasy viniagrettes! Hurrah!)

I will be a GREAT App when Ratio alowes me to enter my own recipes and save them and back them up to my Desktop. I would be ok with sending my saved recipes to myself via email. Or maybe use iPhones notes that get synced into the "Mail" cliant as a note. Other wise it seams to function fine. Ratios support seams to be a comments section that can be found with a link on Ratios website that leads to Michael Ruhlmans site. It would be great if support was obvious!

Love the book and love this app for everyday kitchen use. Do yourself a favor by buying the app and then getting the book. This app will make much more sense after reading the book. This will take you from a good cook to a creative great cook.

Get yourself a kitchen scale & learn to cook the rewarding way! Could you please add the recipes you have in your book? They would be so fast to refer to and always have along (like when you travel)

In the recipes where sugar is included in the ratio, it has 1 cup of sugar weighing 13.2 oz when it should weigh about 7 oz. I also had a problem in the About window when I tried to read blog entries. An error window popped up saying "Ratio cant connect to the internet. You need to be online to read the blog entries". I didnt really understand this since I had internet access on my phone, but the worse part is that the window kept popping up when I hit Ok. I couldnt access the rest of the app, I ended up deleting it from my phone and reinstalling it.

LOVE the book. I use it all the time. The app on the iPhone is great when I am at the store and need to figure out what to buy. It would be much better if they made it to an HD model for the iPad. Like others said, it would be better if you could get the egg measurements as a per egg, but volumetric measurements are the more professional way to cook. I would love if they added more recipes from the book too. If you like the app, you will love the book.

This app is dreadful. There is virtually no content. I cant believe how many people have been duped into purchasing it, myself included. I would really love a refund.

I like this way of cooking. It makes a lot more sense than traditional recipes. The only thing I would say is that it needs more formulas.

I like what Michael Ruhlman does, but a little surprised that the last update was Sept 2010 and that he has not yet built in an upgrade for iPad users. I hope existing Ratio users will be able to upgrade when an iPad version is available.

This application does not allow you to add your own recipes from scratch. I thought it would take standard ingredients and convert them to ratio recipes. This does not do that. You are stuck with different amounts of the same recipe that came with it.

I love the idea of ratios in cooking and knowing the proper ratio for what youre making is empowering. What would make this app even better is the ability to enter your own ratios for types of recipes that are not included with the app. Im constantly tweaking my ratios in my own recipes and it would great to be able to use this tool to make subtle adjustments without having to bust out the calculator and a piece of paper.

Love this app. Filled with greatness and very helpful. My only hope is they update it with the ability to add new categories and new ratios

Im doing culinary art right now. I thought this app have tons of important ratios. However, it contains too little ratios for an app, which costs me 4.99$. I recommend to buy a proper cooking book instead. There are more ratios than this little app. Dont buy it. Waste of your value money.

I loved the book but this app is a rip off. Not all ratios are represented and you cannot add your own. It says that you can save your own recipe but the ingredients have to stay the same as the ratio it came from. I cannot add a gnocchi recipe ratio for example. This app is worth .99 cents.
