Not worth this high price
I am an accomplished and avid baker/cake decorator. I am always looking for new recipes to try. After trying some of Manuela‘s cake recipes I found them to be lower in both taste and texture than some tried and true recipes that are free on the Internet. Ingredients being used in the cake recipes are expensive and some are hard to find. On the whole I found this app a complete waste of money because you can find much better recipes free on the Internet with the same tutorials and less costly ingredients. Don’t waste money here.
Not for everyone
Garnache recipes require 40% heavy cream. That is unavailable where I live and there is no alternative.
Can not open the app
Purchased the app(and was very exited about the recipes) but the app is not opening-just keeps downloading all day.Contacted the owner-got a voice Mail with suggestion to remove the app and download the NEW version! I can not even delete the app!!! And how should I know about the new version?????
Available online free
I purchased this app today, but just now saw that all their recipes are available in their website for free.
App keeps crashing
I purchased the app as well and it loads and then immediately crashes. I have tried troubleshooting and still to no avail. It’s not an issue with my phone.
App crashes
Loved this app and all the recipes, but unfortunately now the app just crashes when you open it
App won’t open
The App won’t even work for me, I click to open it and it shuts off instantly. I tried submitting a troubleshooting report and it states it can’t find my purchase!
App keeps crashing phone
I was so excited about this app … purchased it last year and used it for a couple of recipes. Went to open it up, recently, and it totally closed down. Wouldn’t even load. I have updated my phone and app to the latest software, turned my phone off and back on, nothing is working :-/ please help … I really want to bake more of the amazing recipes!

Won’t work
I’ve updated to the latest iOS and app version and the app won’t open. It gets to the loading page, spins, then quits. I’ve submitted an app support request as well. I really would just like to access the recipes.
Waste of my money
I purchased the app last year and I can’t open the app.
The app never loads.
It acts like it’s loading and just quits. Haven’t been able to make the app work yet. If I can figure that out, maybe it would get a better rating.
