Excellent content; Tech is lacking

This is a great app for improvising cooks and those who just want the basic foundation to build ones own recipes on. Plus they finally fixed the discrepancies between the description here, the in-app introduction, and the blurbs for the actual book.

The underlying tech could use some improvement. The primary applications seem to work well: its a ratio app and it needs to do math and it does. Some extras are a bit off. They finally got around to the iPhone 5 screen, but in early 2014, it really should be fully iPad compatible. The iPad is much better suited for a cooking companion than the iPhone (yes, these are simple formulas that will ultimately be committed to memory, but not immediately), and now that the mini is available there’s a clear middle ground between iPhone and full-sized iPad that should be supported.

The transparent navigation tabs and (to a lesser extent) title bar are a mistake. When text is behind them, the tabs are rendered unreadable. This cannot be intentional as no one would have done this on purpose.

Retina graphics would be nice, too.

Create fully iPad-compatible app and this will be a five-star app. The content is beyond reproach. Ruhlman Enterprises should bring the app up to its level.
