Latest reviews of Rachel Allen app for iPhone and iPad
kinda cool but not ingredients I can whip out of the pantry....
This app is brilliant. I became a fan of Rachel Allen after seeing several episodes of her series "Rachels Favorite Foods at Home" on PBS. If you like Rachels down to earth personality and dazzlingly simple, delicious recipes, then you will love this app. It is expensive, but it works flawlessly, the recipes are fabulous and, best of all, Rachels warm personality shines through. A definite keeper!
I hate to be negative, but this app was a complete disappointment!! I am a sucker for beautiful photography and great graphics, and of course, I love to entertain. Rachel Allens app looked beautiful. But just like you wouldnt judge a book by its cover, dont judge this app by its pretty graphics. I dont know what most people expect from their apps, but I expect (especially for $6.99) a plethora of easy recipes that use simple ingredients that appeal to a busy family woman. I didnt feel like Rachel Allen did the trick. First, everything is in grams... since this app is sold in the US, they should easily show conversions... I didnt see any. Second, compared to other apps (Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart, etc.) which have hundreds of great recipes, Rachel Allen had relatively few. I felt like the ingredients were hard to find and her video tips were superfluous and at some points, ridiculous. I believe her tip for a Quesadilla was that it was like a mexican sandwich with two tortillas and a cheese in the middle... really? what a great tip... NOT! I have to admit that the photography and interface were stunning, however, when I download an app, I would hope that its more than just a pretty face. If you are looking for a lot great and easy recipes, this app may disappoint.
This app is really great! Step by step instructions and hands-free usage while following a recipe. Customize the app for UK or US and hear Rachel Allen providing guidance and tips as well with ratings for the recipes so you know if it is easy or more difficult. I am excited to try all the recipes!
You down load the app the video does not play nor does the audio steps beware 4.99
