To upload recipes and bookmark recipes, input first your login information in the Settings tab. You can also create an account there by clicking on the "+" button. When you press the save button, the app will upload the recipe to the Direct Access database and bring the app up-to-date, in order to let you see the recipe you have uploaded. This can be time consuming the first time you do that as the index of several hundreds of recipes has to be downloaded from the server. 2. To add a recipes: touch the "+" button on the Database or Categories tabs. Input the whole text of the recipe including ingredients in the field below "Recipe". 3. To delete a recipe: touch the top right button on the recipe view and select "Delete recipe". You can only delete the recipes you have added! 4. Recent tab: shows the latest recipes. To update the database, press on the top right button. As the index of only up to 20 recipes can be uploaded at a time, you may have to press many times on it at first to bring the database up-to-date. Note: the very first time you start the app, it attempts to download the latest recipes from the server. If this operation takes too much time, this operation will fail and the app won't be able to start. This problem will be fixed shortly. Meanwhile, make sure you have a good internet connection the first time you start it, and try a few times if it fails. Here is the “missing manual” of Shop’NCook Lite for iPhone:

I just loaded it and I'm a little disappointed. I really want to be able to access my recipes on my home computer. Is this on the way? Also, this app doesn't seem entirely intuitive. I need a few more instructions. In fact one or two might be nice. It seems to be more or less "figure it out" software. I looked for help but didn't find any. Maybe it is possible to access my recipes and load them on my iPhone, and I haven't figured it out yet...??? Love Shop’N Cook on my Mac and it looks promising on my iPhone.
