Notes:
(1) Recipe Search requires Internet access from your device. (That's so we don't have to install all 170,000+ recipes, plus their images on your device!) If you are not running at full 3G speeds, the recipe and food glossary article fetching speed will be limited by your connectivity. Like Safari, BigOven's article display speed is directly related to your current connection quality and speed, which varies over time and location. If the app appears slow, be sure you've got full 3G or wifi connectivity.
(2) This app is currently FREE. We reserve the right to do modest advertising, or instead perhaps charge a modest fee for the app at some point in the future to help offset considerable server hosting costs. But we wanted to get this out there and get some feedback on whether it's useful to you.
Happy cooking from your friends in Seattle!
What's new
NEW
* Grocery Lists!
If you have a free BigOven.com account, you can now view, create and modify your free BigOven.com grocery list. You can add ingredients, recipes, and household items to it, and delete lines as you go.
You can email it to yourself (or someone else in your family) from your mobile device for easy access or printout. And of course you can view/modify it at www.bigoven.com and it'll immediately be modified for iPhone viewing.
And yes, it's still free!
Grocery list REQUIRES Internet access, 3G or Wi-fi. TIP: If your grocery store doesn't have reliable 3G or wifi, simply email your current list to yourself before you go, then access it in your mail client (or print it out).
* Also new: Optional video tutorial now available in settings view.
* Newly updated:
Search options link now provides a very powerful way to limit search results. Narrow results by category (Main Dish, Appetizers, etc.), subcategory (Casseroles, Roasts, Pies, etc.), tags, ingredients included/excluded, etc.
BUG FIXES
* Fixed apostrophe in search issue. (Used to cause an exception.)
We hope you continue to enjoy this free app. If so, give us a review, tell a friend! Happy cooking from your friends in Seattle.
