4 Ingredients by Kim McCosker App Reviews

This app is brutal. There some kind of glich that makes it pretty much opperate at random. Recipes pop up for a second then before you can look at it it switches to another one and then back again. The return to last page button also doesnt work it sometimes returns to the previous page other times it takes you to another random recipe. The recipes are okay if you have absolutely no cooking knowledge but theyre somewhat silly. E.g Asparagus soup is canned asparagus tips + canned cream of chicken soup. the instructions.. mix both and boil with cup of water. I have serious doubts that this will taste impressive/ any better then just getting a can of cream of asparagus.

While some receipes can be a bit too obvious, I like the concept, because it stimulates creativity, and makes you think about interesting ways to combine basic ingredients when you just feel too tired or lazy to make a decision. For these reasons, 4 ingredients is a nice complement in any kitchen, especially at that price. Just dont expect a real cookbook.

Installed. Restarted. Launched. And the app kept flashing pages of different recipes for brief moments then going to black. Extremely buggy app. It sounded really good on paper but the execution is horrible. Please fix this app. If this app is version 1.0, then save your money!

I have a few recipe apps, but this is by far the easiest one to use. I love the dice, I just keep tapping them and it gives me heaps of options and its really fast. Well Done

Awesome app, just had the salmon with pesto crust....tasty! This is going to make dinner decisions and shopping lists a lot more quick and easy.

I work crazy daytime hours so this was perfect. Rarely do I get out of work and want to hit the grocery store--I usually go out to eat. That cost adds up. This could save me a ton of money!!! A few bugs where the catagories reel repeats over and over and it would be nice if the random function could span all of them other than the one selected, but all in all, not bad!

Easy to use, simple great recipes, look forward to more recipes in the future.

Great for every kind of cook! Excellent recipies and an easy to use interface. If youre looking to eat out less and want simple, affordable and diversified meals definitely download this app.

Finally an application that gives broad selections of foods and simple recipes. I look forward to more recipes to choose from.

Im sure these are good recipes, but a lot of the dishes are British as are the foods used. Not to my liking at all. Plus, the organization of the recipes is not very well thought out.

This app is a good idea, but not very useful. There are several problems I have w/ it, but the two biggest are the landscape to portrait for index to recipes and the 4 ingredients themselves. The list of catergories or ingredients you view in landscape mode on the phone, but the recipes all appear in portrait mode. After a half dozen times of looking at recipes to make for dinner, I was annoyed at having to constantly switch the phone. Developers: Please fix that! Pick one or utilize the phones sensors! Also, although each recipe is only supposed to have 4 ingredients, I wish they didnt count staple items like olive oil, butter, black pepper and pasta. Its hard to make something exciting w/ only 1 or 2 more items. I guess this is my fault because I shouldve known better on this point--it is called 4 ingredients. I just didnt realize that would be so literal. As another reviewer already stated, these recipes are UK oriented, so some unusual things (to Amercans) are included. I havent tried the random feature because so many of the recipes arent actually entrees but sauces, snacks or desserts. Cant imagine eating bananas stuffed w/ Mars bars for dinner (although Im sure my husband wouldnt object!). It would be nice if there was a way to search only main dishes. Thats where I need the most assistance in planning a meal. I wish I had waited to see if this went on sale before I purchased it. I know its less than an actual cookbook, but I still feel like I wasted a couple of dollars. Also, it would be nice if the developers added a screenshot or two of an actual recipe so people can see what they are really getting. I think my review would make more sense if you could see those photos. But I guess then theyd lose profits cause customers would see how lame this app really is. Beware of this app, its kinda disappointing!

Nice graphics and easy to use. The recipes I have tried all worked well and I have certainly improved my cooking over the last few days. Ive already made my money back by cooking at home more this week. Cool:)

I hope they plan on adding new recipes. The selection seems limited for the price but a great idea.

The dang thing keeps coin to weird pages and bak

So glad I got this app-- since I like to adapt recipes to my own specifications after I see one, this app allows me a jump start. Used the Sweet Cornflake Chicken yesterday... Fab!

Needs more recipes

HORRIBLE..... Save your money!

So far I have tried one recipe and lost one pound of beef with this recipe . It was horribly bland. The meat did not cook all the way through! I had my meatloaf in the oven for close to two hours. This is a horrible recipe.

Good but definitely not from scratch

Ive a large family. Time constraints causes us to eat out a lot. These recipes are so simple and easy to make. So far ever one of the dishes Ive made has gone over with my kids. Keep these recipes coming!
