Summary: Barely Adequate
Comment: 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 shopping lists to carry to the grocery store with me.
I also find the print design module very difficult to use. I suppose I shouldn't expect too much from such inexpensive software but the tools are really clunky.
I keep hoping ValuSoft will come out with an upgrade soon. I'll eventually be forced to move to Vista the next time I buy a computer so I hope there will be a better MasterCook available at that time.

Summary: Okay program
Comment: 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. I struggle to determine how many servings my recipe makes to accurately enter into the program to allow it to determine the nutritional information for the recipe. There are numerous print style options and I am still exploring those. Would I buy this product again, Maybe, I wish it was more advanced.

Summary: excellent
Comment: 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.

Summary: Difficult to Use
Comment: 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 just been very challenged in using it so far. I'm sticking with my pencil and paper and xerox copies of recipes I like!

Summary: Best Recipe Software Ever!
Comment: I absolutely love this software. It is very easy to use and gives complete information about each recipe. It has so many features. One of my favorites is the recipe import assistant. It makes getting recipes from emails and web pages so easy -- no typing required!! Plus you can take pictures and add them to each recipe as well as pictures of the step by step preparations. I highly recommend this product. I have used a previous version for years and this new version is even better.
It is not designed for Windows Vista but I am using it on my HP laptop with Windows Vista.
