Mastercook 15 Recipe PC

Ive been using Mastercook since about the 4th edition. 15 is the best yet. It can easily sync all your cookbooks you select and the recipes to your mobile device once you download the app. Once set up every time you add a recipe to the computer it automatically shows up in the app. While Im not the fastest learner with these programs and apps, and Ive had a few problems that were mostly caused by me, it is easy to get help from their Support. Just ask a question with a decent description of what is happening and Pam Erickson will get back to you fast. I have yet to wait more than an hour or two for a response and she is always able to get me going again. No other program has this kind of support.

I have used MasterCook since I first found a CD at a bookstore many years ago. I have always liked this product and found it to be incredibly useful.

I have been using MasterCook for many years. My recent experience has been with the support team. I purchased MasterCook 15 and was also learning to use Windows 10. There were several issues I couldnt resolve on my own or with the written instructions. I contacted the support team through email and am infinitely satisfied with the help I received. Response was immediate and the person assigned to me stuck with me until all

I have been using Master Cook since the 1980s. It is a great program. The new version is Version 22, bur this version is just as good. I have 3 homes and I cant travel with my cook books. With Master Cook everything is stored online. No matter where I go, my recipes are with me. On my PC, on line and on my phone which is handy when I shop.

I used an earlier version for years, not sure I like the upgraded version as well, still like the nutritional part when i add my own recipies.

I had the original software from probably the 1990s. It was a very handy program, though not particularly slick. I have been through a couple of computers and this time I cant find my cd. The tech who transferred the info saved my recipes however. I was going to buy the new software, but after reading the reviews, I wont, Its not worth it to me to get into a monthly subscription so I will just organize the recipes in some fashion so they are easily accessible.

Excellent way to keep up with recipes! This software is the best.

I bought this software because I am no longer able to access my recipes using Living Cookbook. I thought this would be an easy transition since I had a backup copy of my Living Cookbook recipes. The other reviews of this software talked about the good support for importing LCB files into Mastercook. Once I received my software, I was disappointed to learn that I had 5 updates that I needed to download and apply. In addition, in order to import my recipes, I either have to use a piece of free shareware (that isnt working for me yet), or pay $75 for Mastercook support to do the conversion. There is no built-in feature of the software for doing this conversion. In fact, the Help FAQ says that you will need to pay a fee if you require lengthy support time.

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:

Another product not as advertised. I registered the product and was promptly swamped with upgrades I could buy, The major cookbook that was advertised to be included was there, but for sale. They graciously included the capability to download 30 recipes from the internet for free; if I wanted additional recipes, there was a monthly account for sale that would allow me to download more recipes (very generous, I thought). I have a MasterCook 5 program now that seems to me to have more capabilities than the 15. And, oh by the way, the 22 cookbooks available on the 15 version contain many of the same cookbooks I have on the 5. Not a happy camper.
