3/5Disappointed
Easy to use. You are not able to search specific ingredients to find substitutions. There is a very limited amount of information.

3/5anemic
well, I was hoping for a lot more - should be free really. Cannot seem to search, just the spin wheel thing. I would have also liked to have seen more items as well as substitutions from what people can typically find - dried eggs? really? A section for fish might be nice too. I will keep it and hope updates expand and improve what is a really great idea.

5/5Great App!
I have used this app so much what a life saver! You start to cook something great and then realize you are missing something. Just grab your phone or iPod and use this app and disaster averted. Love it!
