Pros and cons of Pantry to Recipes app for iPhone and iPad

Pantry to Recipes app good for

The updated interface is much better. But still lacks some basic functionality in my opinion. Also, some of the links to the actual recipes are dead. But, other than that it works 7/10 times.
One of the most useful and enjoyable apps I have downloaded in a long time. It runs very smooth and all the features have worked very well for me. I already made a meal I found through the app and it was a big hit. Really does help me out with deciding what to make for dinner. I also like how I can save recipes I like or ones I want to try. Highly recommended for anyone that needs to cook on a daily basis!

Some bad moments

I took the time to enter all my pantry and other food items I have and when I click the search button, the app crashes. I tried several times and it doesnt work at all.
I downloaded the app and went through the beginning tour. After the tour the app shuts down and will not open. I restarted my phone, then deleted and re-downloaded the app but I get the same results every time. Please fix so I can use it!
I was hoping this app would solve my problem because the title is exactly what Im looking for. Enter my ingredients on hand, find possible recipes, and also create shoppers lists for needed ingredients. First you need to add your pantry items(at least 3) which makes sense. However, I see no way of inventorying your pantry items and tracking use. Once added, you are supposed to be able to search for recipes with any of your listed ingredients... Didnt work. It just froze at this point. I only gave two stars because I know the intentions for this app are great and I REALLY wanted it to work, hopefully you can update it and get it working.
Sounded like a good idea but ended up being a waste of time. Search function doesnt yield any good results and they are never the same even if you dont change your pantry ingredients.
I was so looking forward to an app like this. The concept, etc. were exactly what I was looking for. However the app constantly freezes. I cant get the recipes part to EVER work. Very disappointing.
I was so looking forward to using this app, the family I work for has an overwhelming pantry and this concept is exactly what I needed. After putting in 15 ingredients. Nothing on the search engine. Good hing its free your not wasting money.
