I have an ad for an application showing up when I try to print a recipe. I don’t want to download the application, but I can’t get it to not be in the printout which covers up part of the recipe instructions.
In essence, it is making this useless since I can’t print the recipe to carry to the kitchen to use.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback!
This issue will be fixed in the next release

I have been using Cookmate since it was My Cookbook. I have saved many recipes and enjoy using the app. Since I am single I have greatly enjoyed being able to scale my recipes down to just one or two servings. Recently I discovered that I can’t find that option in the app anymore. I am greatly disappointed; not simply because the option is not there, but when I tried to find out why I discovered that the support link in the app simply takes me to a list of FAQ’s, how to documents and other useless information. It is not a true help menu and this appears to be the closest thing to authentic support. My opinion of Cookmate has been seriously downgraded and I am wondering if I need to get rid of it and find an alternative.
Hi Thomas, we haven’t removed the scale feature… What is your device? Are you using the website? the android app? or the iOS app?
The instructions start off by saying “To edit your recipe or add new fields”. Excellent, that’s what I want to do, add some new fields.
But… The instructions don’t tell you haow to add new fields!
I want to add some information detailing the equipment needed for the recipe. How do I do it?
I’m sure you used to be able to.
Hi Paul, thank you for your feedback. Currently it is not possible to add custom fields.
However, you can include the information about the equipment needed within existing sections like the description or comments.
I find the new editing system to be much worse than the previous system.
Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you are having trouble with the new editing system. We have added new features to format ingredients and steps, but we understand that change can be difficult.
We would love to hear more about your specific concerns so we can continue to improve the editing system. Could you tell us more about what you find worse in the new system?
Thanks,
Carine
