5.0 out of 5 stars Try this if you aren't getting premium features. September 10, 2011

By J. Englade

Amazon Verified Purchase

I read all the reviews about not getting the premium features, so I was hesitant about downloading this app. Sure enough when I tried editing labels, it said that I needed to upgrade. I believe that when something doesn't work right, try powering down and restarting the phone. Sure enough, upon restart, I was able to edit labels and haven't had the upgrade message since. You may want to try powering down your phone and restarting if you are having the same problem. Running on a Droid 3.

2.0 out of 5 stars 15 MB of ram when OFF? October 3, 2011

By Nort Thalem

Amazon Verified Purchase

I got the app for free, but havent actally used it yet, so my review deserves some discredit in that respect. My tablet has been slowing down significantly latley, takeing as long as 34 seconds to reorient when I tilt it. Looking for ways to speed my system up, I discovered this app was somehow using 15mb of my ram in my "manage applications" menu, while not appearing at all under active applications or running services.

I cannot concieve why the developers think they need to hide this process, why it takes up such a large chunk, or why a cookbook needs to be on when I'm not using it.

1.0 out of 5 stars $3 for a search engine wearing an app costume? Dev refuses to answer emails on why it runs in middle of the night. May 15, 2012

By GemDragon

Hard to believe people would pay 3 bucks for a thinly veiled interface (that is why it is so small in size!) that is really only a search engine that crawls recipe sites and bring back results that are inferior and lacking to what you would have gotten by just using the same types of sites on the net using your browser! You have to pay 3 bucks only to get rid of the ads?

The dev was emailed many times about explaining why this app out of nowhere starts at certain times of the day when the app has not even been opened in months. They refuse to send a reply. This app uses 15 megabytes of device memory even though it does not show as running in the list of running apps, and it never asked for permission to start up at the boot.

This is a perfect example of how data mining developers think they have a right to crawl into your phone any time of the day, use 15 megabytes of phone memory even though you did not open it or you already force closed it, sniff around your phone for data they want and find valuable, suck it up to their servers through the open net connection you gave permission for, and then close itself before you even realize what the app did to you.

I expect this type of app behavior in FREE APPS, but not PAID APPS. So, if you approve of this dev sucking up your battery life and phone memory whenever it feels it wants to steal your data almost daily when you are not aware of it (unless you have an app to monitor this activity as I do), and you also approve of PAYING THE DEV 3 bucks for the privilege of their theivery, then you will likely enjoy this data mining search engine that has a mind of its own.

As for me, there are better alternatives out there in apps and net search engines that will do much more, and even for free, and I will happily use them before I permit this piece of junk to reside on my phone.
