Recipe Apps

CEBU, Philippines - In our last focus feature touching up on recipe apps, we talked about Allrecipes.com Dinner Spinner, the How to Cook Everything app, and the Jaime Oliver's 20 Minute Meals app.

As the top mobile applications of their class, the three have earned the nods of thousands of users, combining the ideals of smart user interfaces with solid recipe selections.

But as well-loved as the three recipe apps are, they are not the only titles that have drawn slews of fans and followers their way.

Here are three more impressively informative and functional recipe apps designed for smartphones and tablets.

Showcasing more than 450,000 recipes taken from sparkrecipes.com (which is widely viewed as the world's largest healthy recipes website), healthy meals, snacks and treats are easier to make with the help of the Healthy Recipes app.

Developed by SparkPeople, each of the app's recipes are presented with their own nutritional content charts, a distinct in-app highlight that is backed by Healthy Recipes' intuitive recipe search functions.

Highlighting links to demonstration/instruction guides and videos, the app also comes with a built-in conversion counter (covering teaspoons to gallons conversions, cups to liters conversions and more), making it a comprehensive recipe app that has a lot to offer to users.

Developed with functions and features that cover meal planning, shopping and cooking, the app comes with an "on-hand search" function - an in-app feature that helps users find recipes based on what ingredients they have.

Showcasing more than 3000 recipes, users can also maximize the use of the app's "stay on budget" feature, along with its meal planning and one-click shopping list functions.
