Barely Adequate:

I've used MasterCook for over 5 years now and have developed workarounds to most of its limitations. I wish ValuSoft would invest in an upgrade. My biggest gripe is that I bought a Palm Pilot primarily to export shopping lists to only to discover that MasterCook doesn't support newer versions of the Palm operating system. So I spent over a hundred dollars on a device my twenty dollar software can't talk to. Major bummer. I'm too dependent on my Palm Pilot now for other things so I still have to print... more info

Okay program:

This is the first cookbook program I have tried. I find it easy to enter my own recipes as far as ingredients go. I was surprised that there is no way to enter the degree symbol for temperature when entering that into the text.

There are numerous print style options and I am still exploring those. Would I buy this product again, Maybe, I wish it... more info

excellent:

This software does almost everything I want it to do. The product it produces is excellent. Its versatility is much improved from the original model I had before.

Difficult to Use:

I consider myself pretty techie but this software is hard to use. I see a recipe I'd like to add to my menu plan and I have to go out of the cookbook and back into the menu plan and add it. I'm not expecting drag and drop (although how cool would that be?) but tedious to build a plan. Then menu plan vs. meal plan and confusing term swaps. It also wants to add ingredients in it's own way--making me tab through to add things the way I want (cheese in ounces vs. slices). Maybe I didn't study it enough but I've... more info
