Latest reviews of Abs Diet Smoothie Selector app for iPhone and iPad
no retina graphics, cannot connect to database therefore no favouriting smoothies, layout is broken.
This APP would be great if one could search by ingredient. That is, if I could enter a key ingredient and all the smoothies with that ingredient came up. Even better would be multiple ingredients. As it is now I have to read through ALL the recipes to find ideas for whatever ingredient I want to use up or have on hand. I like that the recipes are healthy and there are some ideas that go beyond the usual fruit, yogurt, juice/milk smoothie basics. Green tea, instant oatmeal, bran cereal are new ideas for me. Some smoothie recipes do not match their title; you click on the name and picture of a smoothie that sounds good but the recipe is for a completely different smoothie. There are also inaccuracies in some ingredients (an amount is listed but not the ingredient). Many times when I choose the smoothies to be listed by goal category it somehow reverts back to alphabetical order instead. This APP needs some quality control and tweaking to be liked by me. I dont use it b/c of the lack of "search by ingredient" and frustrating inaccuracies.
There are a lot of great smoothie recipe ideas in here, but also a lot of inaccuracies. Like listing 4 cups of ingredients and then saying it makes 1 8 ounce serving. It also kicks me put of the app when I try to create my own recipe Would love a way to search by ingredient as well.
App doesnt connect to its database. Only half works. The part that does is fine, with some good ideas.
This could be a great app if it would connect to the server and not kick me out every time I try to add my own recipe. I would also like to see green smoothies here, I have looked through the majority and not seen one yet! The recipes included are great! Which at this point is the only thing stopping me from deleting the app.
