Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

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.

Windows 10 had a bug in it which caused my computer to crash and cause all sorts of problems. Customer support helped me through the tedious process of getting my MasterCook up and running again with all of my recipes. They were patient and persistent until the problem was solved. Made a great cookbook for friends with the product and the app is useful too on my Ipad.

I have used Master Cook, currently v.15, for a long time. Their support is absolutely great. Always fast and very helpful. I am very concerned about an email blast I received from MC about their 2020 version due out soon after the first of the year. It is being listed as a $175.00/year subscription for the personal version. And the email had a Black Friday deal of 35% off to make it $113.75/ year. I am unclear if that includes their cloud hosting although it must because all their versions share their data from the cloud. I emailed them with questions about ongoing support for v15 and Pams reply was:

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

I had a problem with windows 10 interaction and reported it to Master Cook. They resolved the issue by contacting Microsoft and working with their development team and kept me informed throughout the process. Love the program and the support that comes with it.

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.

Have been using MasterCook for years. Did a family and friends cookbook as Christmas gifts several years ago, they were a big hit, some have been handed down to their kids. I like the fact that I can now share recipe books and my recipes with family on line, great feature, I dont any longer get those phone calls How did you make this. Great program,

I like the import assistant function.

Although the interface isnt as appealing as it was back when MC was being produced by Sierra, it still has the same functionality and ease of use. Ive been using this product for more years than I can count and am happy I broke down and finally upgraded.

Just received this in the mail this week. I have windows 10. Installed right away and it went in beautifully. have been using it for about 4 days. putting recipes in my cook book and it hasnt given me a problem yet. The button for add to mastercook would not install on internet exployer so i had to use my firefox . works great for downloading.I would highly recommend this program for anyone that likes their cookbooks
