United States***(FEELS LIKE) SUMMER SAVINGS - ENDS THIS WEEKEND!!*** Completely overhauled, Gourmet Mobile is now a UNIVERSAL app, optimized for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad devices. You can add, edit, scale and import recipes...even when you’re away from your Mac. But, will it sync? Absolutely! Use your FREE Mariner Cloud cloud to sync from MacGourmet Deluxe 4. Sync Recipes, Shopping Lists, Wine Notes, Cooking Notes and My Lists. The best part is that syncing is now two-way and incremental. Add a recipe or make a simple edit on your Mac and sync just those additions or changes to your iOS device. Make a change, scale a recipe, or import a new recipe to your iOS device and sync it to your Mac. Simply put - it works both ways. We know how cooks love to share. With the cloud syncing of Gourmet Mobile, you can sync with other Macs and iOS devices. No Mac app? No problem You don’t need to have MacGourmet or MacGourmet Deluxe to use all the features of Gourmet Mobile. Find a recipe on the web and easily import it. When you’re shopping and you find that two more are joining you for dinner - don’t worry! You can scale a recipe for the number you need and then go back to the original setting. You can create shopping lists and make and edit notes. In short, you can carry your digital recipe box around with you wherever you go. Whether you are a foodie or a professional chef, Gourmet Mobile is the perfect app to help you manage and share your recipes! Other features of Gourmet Mobile include: • New UI look including themes and colors • Change font size • Adding steps to a recipe is optional • UPC scanner support • Social media sharing (pending) through Facebook and Twitter • Edit an Item, Amount, Units, and Aisles of a Shopping List • Use the Chef’s View for undistracted cooking • Email or Chat a recipe to a friend • Search the web for a new recipe and import it to add to your collection **Note: Your initial sync will sync ALL the recipes in your database to or from your device. This can be a lot of data, especially if your recipes and notes have photos. Subsequent syncs will go much faster, as they sync only the items that have changed. For your initial sync, we recommend disabling the auto lock on your device temporarily, and letting the sync complete overnight, or at another time when you are not using your device. ***Gourmet Mobile is only compatible with MacGourmet Deluxe 4.

United StatesThink Mariner does not care about this app
I left my original review 2 years ago. Frankly my journey with Mariner has been ongoing for at least 5 years. In any event, I have finally moved on. Today I downloaded Paprika and seamlessly imported all my MacGourmet/Gourmet recipes in literally seconds. The only downside for me is I will need to find another program to manage my wine collection, but I had finally had enough. Paprika is not cheap ($35 to cover all devices), but that is actually less than what I paid many years ago to get into MacGourmet (long story). I would encourage everyone who has struggled with Mariner to give Paprika a look. What I have seen thus far is a breath of fresh air. I have been a user of the desktop and iOS versions of this program for years. The desktop version of the program still works well in spite of the fact that no updates have come for years. The iOS apps have been, and continue to be a disappointment. The cloud sync has never worked for me since Mariner decided to use their own servers (when I was able to sync via Dropbox or iCloud it worked fine). Now, nothing I delete on my desktop gets deleted on my iOS devices after a sync. When I edit a record I get duplicate records for the same item (both the pre and post-edit version). I have tried the standard delete everything and start from scratch instructions on the Mariner website without success. Mariner “support” could not solve the issue and about two years ago stopped responding to my requests. It is clear to me that they are milking this program for all it is worth before it is retired. There is no evidence that they plan to develop or truly support it any further. I would NOT purchase this program if you are looking for something to create a recipe or beverage database. One other thing that I find odd. When Mariner purchased the software they eliminated the user forum, which I always found helpful, and pretty much any means of contacting support beyond submitting a service ticket. Another clear indication that they simply want to minimize complaints.
United StatesFrustrated!!
I am so disappointed. For years I have used this app. I have over 8,000 recipes in it. If I’m looking for a recipe that I used in the past you better know how you worded it the title name. Example if I was looking for lemon bar dip and I searched it under lemon dip it would not come up. Also the import a recipe - does not work. I have to cut and paste now. So annoying! Can you please update the app!!!!!!!!!! And maybe your ratings would change!!!!!!!
United StatesPitiful, much work putting recipes over time
Now cant even open to view them. Mariner should be banned from the app store for this abomination!
United StatesSupport apparently has gone into hibernation
Been a long time user of Gourmet Mobile and Gourmet Deluxe on Mac. No longer able to sync between devices, support on Twitter promised new iOS releases in 2020. Still nothing. Mac version just started demonstrating issues that appear to be backend related. Time for updates. Email to support and Twitter comment have gone unanswered. Mariner Software, it’s Spring. Time for support to come out of hibernation.
United StatesSo frustrated & disappointed
They act like this is still a product. I need it to work...use it on desktop & mobile. Please fix.
United StatesWould not advise until ...
I have had MacGourmet on my laptop for a long time and added the phone app at some point, mainly so I could cover my forgetfulness at the grocery. Years ago, I would have rated this app (laptop version) 5 + stars. With apple updates and the lack of Mariner keeping up, it’s now a 2. Of the 1100 recipes I have on my laptop, only 900 will sync. And if you search an ingredient within your categories now (an appetizer with prosciutto?), nothing comes up. Have been waiting a good while (talking months), for changes- not convinced they’re in the pipeline.
