Available iTouch app or Android app

I am just hoping that this is in the works. This is my go-to site for recipes but when I am in the kitchen it is my hand held devices that are close by not my computer and I often use other site's apps. None are as reliable recipes as the ones on here.

It would be great to have an App that is linked to a personal cookbook on food.com webpage
- the recipes needed could be placed in the cookbook on the webpage,
- when the hand held device app is turned on and is on wifi, the app syncs the recipes to the app.
-and the recipes can be used anywhere once updated.
-a nice touch would be, no wifi you can still access all currently updated recipes[/b]

Regrettably there are no plans for one right now but on our wish list.

How about just making the website so it doesn't totally suck and fail on a browser that lacks "mouse-over" functionality? I'd be happy with just being able to pull up "my cookbooks" from the iPad or Android even if there is no app.[/quote]

Regrettably we do not have a mobile site, which is why the tab flyouts aren't working right and staying up long enough. You would hover over these on the website using a PC or Mac. If you click on the arrow next to the tabs like Recipes > and catch the pop up real quick, you can access the links. Otherwise, you will need to go the down arrow to the right of your picture/icon. Click on it to access your profile, settings, cookbooks, menus, shopping list, favorites and even to sign out. There is a link to your cookbooks there and click on profile to access your recipes.

Just letting Food.com know that there are many of us who would like an android app. Please move from wish list to "to do" list.

Me, too. I want an android app. I would pay for the app or suffer through annoying advertising. Maybe the advertising could pay for the development and support costs.

Not even a mobile site, seriously??? That's just unbelievable. Browsing food.com on the ipod really sucks.

Who is the CEO of the site?? Apparently s/he's hasn't been on the forums since 2007 at the earliest, when people have been posting about a mobile-friendly interface and/or app that would work for this. 5 years ago, really? That's embarrassing.

Have your web programmer read this and get a mobile site up in 2 minutes. Literally.

And FYI, I'd happily pay for a food.com app.

This has been brought to the team's attention! We have received many requests and hope to have an app out soon!

Just wanted to come add my tap on the shoulder here. You guys have one of the best recipe platforms/websites around, thank you. But as a technologies and IT consultant I think you guys are missing a major opportunity and a much larger audience by not having android and ios native apps. If you don't get into the game soon others will become people's go to source. Having apps on these platforms is a huge chance to increase food.com branding and awareness, it also is increasingly how the average Joe interacts with the Web. We would all love an app with access to the recipes and portion conversion. And you have people willing to help you all beta test, I'd also be up to assist in that. Just my two bits here.

Thank you, Musoka. We appreciate your support and contribution. Our site wouldn't be what it is without our members! Yes, we know that an app would be a great asset, that's why we are working on one and hope to have it out soon. Stay tuned...

I'm so glad to see that this request is being put into the works as I would also like to have an android app for the food.com site. I just got a tablet and am intending to use this site as my cookbook while cooking - no more papers floating around the kitchen for me! It would be great if you could facilitate this.

I would also like to see the shopping list become more of a check off type of list, similar to what zip list has for the phone. Right now I'm using that, as it makes grocery shopping so much easier.

I also hope you update your web interface and navigation system. I personally would love to have all the nav on the left and listed. I hate having to use a drop down to get to my cookbooks or menus or whatever. Also the web appearance is just plain outdated, in my opinion, although it doesn't really affect functionality.

I hope this all taken positively and constructively, as I really love this site, but would like to see it make the leap to 2013! Thank you for this site!

Oh, yeah, I'm also an IT business analyst, and would love to volunteer my services if you want them . I also wouldn't mind being a tester, as I do that in my job as well.
