 Good enough October 10, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been using MasterCook since version 4. I love the ability to get recipes from the internet. And I like the added field for the URL source. Other than that not much has changed from version 6. The search function is still clunky. And I still don't like the recipe display window where you have to scroll down to see ingredients and instructions, not very useful when am cooking and reading from the screen. It should look more like the print preview screen.
 To Much Work! August 27, 2005

Granted this is about the only software on the market that semi gives you what you need, but it takes alot of time to learn. I actually had to print out all the help notes, and i'm an experienced user. The shopping list is really worthless. You need to write the recipes exactly in the same wording, so it understands what items to add to your shopping list. When I first got it I spent hours loading and re-loading the software because it would freeze up and just quit. What's with that? I did like the "pantry" feature, but when you want to buy two different sizes of the same item, trying to figure out the ounces takes major time. I think Valusoft needs to listen to their customers before releasing their product. But the recipes are a hugh benefit.That's the only reason I didn't return it....

I started with MC 4.0 and didn't care for it..the interface was too clunky.
I picked up MC 6.0 and really liked it and ValuSoft took it over and has impressed me with each release by fixing some bugs and adding new features such as PDA support in version 7 and with 8.0 we get the Web Import Bar that makes gathering recipes revolutionary.
Unfortunately, ValuSoft seems to have gotten a bad rap in the reviews I've read, but each new release is quite an improvement.
This is great recipe, nutrition and meal planning software. For $20, you can't beat the value of this power-packed software.
Great Program/ Not complete Package August 12, 2005

The program is wonderful but it took me much longer than I though it would to learn. It would have been helpful if I had known this CD was not a package and would not include any sort of instruction booklet. I would have spent the extra money to get the CD and guide book all at once if I knew I wasn't going to get even a 1 page basic guide.
