Pros and cons of Cookspiration app for iPhone and iPad

Cookspiration app good for

This app is a great start to helping people choose healthier recipes for their next meal. It feels a lot like Pinterest which makes it easy to use and beautiful to look at. Ive scrolled through a few recipes and they look pretty good, my only reservation is that the nutrition facts tables dont give a quantity for 1 serving. I realize it could be figured out by looking at how many servings the entire recipe makes but I feel that it should be readily available on the facts table like any product you would find in the store. Otherwise its a really nice app!
What a wonderfully simple and easy app to use. It looks fantastic and I will be using it to find many new recipes.
What a great innovation! Who needs to be looking through piles of recipes, when you can click a simple button with appetite directives, and get immediate inspiration...Love this!
So cool! Very straight-forward interface. Yummy recipes. Looking fwd to this
Love the design--seamlessly blends into iOS 7. Amazing and delicious new ideas--this app makes me HUNGRY!
Thank you - this will give meals and snacks a new boost in our household. Really looking forward to trying many new meals, snacks and drinks. The pics are bright and colourful - always wonderful to see what your creation is supposed to look like! Easy to follow, great idea for the ingredients / instructions.

Some bad moments

The recipes are good but not legible especially if you have eye problems due to diabetes or other health issues. It would be better if a different font were used. The print in the page headers are basically non-existent because of the grayscale type on light teal background. The fonts for the recipes again arent clear. Please make an option for us to be able to change the font type or at least for us to be able to enlarge the font. The pictures are great and the recipes are nice but not if you have to use a magnifying glass to read it. The eaTipster app has really good font size in comparison. Thanks for listening.
Decent app if I could read the font. Its so light up against the white bg that it makes it difficult to read.
Currently opens and immediately closes on ipad air with up to date OS.
Updated my 4th gen iPad to iOS 8 and Cookspiration keeps crashing. Fix??.?.
Its very difficult to write a review when you cannot access the app. It opens, then immediately closes. Very unfortunate! Im using an iPad Air with iOS 8.
There is no obvious search feature. Maybe I cant find it, but it definitely isnt obvious if there is one.
