Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

This is an excellent product. I have used versions 9 and 14 and not version 15. You can import a complete recipe into mastercook.com and then download it to your computer without a lot of keystrokes. Also the price from this seller is $10.00 higher than what others are selling it for.

Since this Software Program was taken over by its new entity. It IS the MOST frigged up Program, Ive ever experienced.

Was too difficult to manage

I originally went to MasterCook after Living Cookbook went dark would not install on Windows 10. The reason I went ot MasterCook was that they could import all of my recipes (for a fee), but since I did not want to type in the 500+ recipes again, it was a bargain. At first the program was great, but then stuff started to bug me.

This offers more possibilities and learning than previous versions. It is quite easy to use. I use it to store and share many old family favorites.

I tried a free recipe software that was so intuitive, I thought all products would be the same. I was wrong. The Master 15 Recipe PC software makes no sense. No way to easily catigorize recipes. Saving recides does not save to a predeterimine catagory. Waste of time and money.

THIS IS THE BEST PROGRAM OUT THERE FOR SAVING RECIPES AND COOKBOOKS. IT IS SO SIMPLE TOUSE AND GRABBING RECIPES ON THE WEB IS A BREEZE. I HAVE OWNED ALL MASTERCOOKS PROGRAMS SINCE THEY CAME OUT YEARS AND YEARS AGO. AND I HAVE OVER 1,300 COOKBOOKS SAVED RIGHT NOW TO THIS GREAT PROGRAM. IT IS SO EASY TO SEARCH TO FIND A RECIPE ONCE YOU HAVE SAVED IT AND IT IS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO PRINT A GROCERY LIST. I LOVE TAKING A NICE READABLE PRINT LIST TO THE GROCERY STORE. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS GREAT PROGRAM. I LOVE IT!!

I finally installed the software from the disk (purchased the software right before my father passed away and forgot about afterward) and opened an account with them to find out that it did not come with an activation code. I feel cheated! I wasted my money for nothing!

Premise of this software is great. However, the first year I had this all of the recipes I had hand typed into a cookbook that I created disappeared one day. Frustrating, but I figured ok - lets give this another go, it was an unfortunate mistake. Another years worth of recipes and today it happened again. I updated the program, opened it up and saw that my recipes were intact.... until I added one new recipe. Then, all of the recipes are gone and the new one I added was not even there. A completely empty cookbook again. Found the file, tried restoring to a previous version - nothing. Whoever creates this program has no idea how to design software - avoid like the plague.

This software worked great for years. But now it is deleting my recipes!
