Pros and cons of The Video Cookbook app for iPhone and iPad

The Video Cookbook app good for

All the videos and recipes are very easy to follow and there are plenty of recipes to choose from. I am very happy with all their apps.

Very nice app, well designed and easy to use. Surely you will want to cook one of the dishes with it. And together with the build in shopping list makes this app a must have

Some bad moments

The recipes are not for everyday cooking. I thought the application is handy for everyday grocery shopping but it isnt. The recipes are for special occasions which is not practical. Hopefully they are going to put more practical recipes in there.

There are well under 240 recipes in this app than they state. You have to buy "recipe packs" to gain all the recipes @$1.00 each. This is very misleading. These recipes are for special occasions , and not everyday meals. Very disappointing.

Brought som in app purchase but I had to change device and now I would have to pay back for it!

Really polished app. The videos are detailed but still concise, and the shopping list and ingredient adjustment features are nice touches. My only complaint is that I wish there were a few more dessert recipes! :)

Perfect for people like me who straight up dont know how to cook and dont get the fancy cooking terms in cookbooks! yay!!!

The simplicity of the concept together with a great execution makes this cooking guide ONE OF A KIND! There is hope for me, after all...
