Escoffier Cook’s Companion App Reviews

Just looked up the number of tbsp in a cup and the app tells me its four instead of sixteen. Not very useful if it gets a simple conversion like this wrong.

All the measurement conversions are wrong! There are not 10 feet In a meter! Nor are there 9.5 cups In a Pint!

i just downloaded this app, and i really think its going to come in useful. ive been cooking for awhile, and there are still things im discovering about cooking. just going through this, i think would be useful for new cooks and not so new cooks. i really think im going to get a lot of good out of this.

Really well designed, clean interface. Tried all the tools, previewed the sections; surprisingly useful for a *free* app.

This is a really neat helpful app. Converters are accurate and what I browsed of the glossary everything is correct.

Well organized, easy to navigate, with lots of helpful information.

I like the conversion. The lacking part I quickly found was running in background seems to just mean you must keep the app open. Able to browse the app. But if you go to view another app or do another task not on this app, you will not hear an alert to let you know the time is up. Truly hope an update fixes this so it truly runs in the background. Havent tried letting the cell do its snooze yet to see if the alerts will work. On the to do list soon. Awesome the timers. Just let me back out of the app to maybe read a recipe online or on another app.

All the conversions wrong.

Its extremely user friendly and nice to look at. The converter tool is awesome. Im surprised there arent any reviews.

This app has nice features. However I cant figure out how to turn off the annoying sounds. Cant find an in-app menu to do so and cant so so through phone settings. I will have to delete if I cant turn off the sounds. :(

Downloaded it and deleted it immediately when I went to set a timer. If and when you guys add an alarm that doesnt sound like Tinkerbell is having a seizure in my pocket Ill re-install. Cant be walking around a pro kitchen with that emanating from my pants.

I downloaded app after it was named #1 on top5 CNET podcast. Tried to use conversions to teach my kindergartener about measures. They are way too imprecise - couldnt set numeric value only dials. The biggest issue is EVERY 5 sec a popup to buy or review or something. Well here is my review. I am deleting after I finish this.

The timers must have been designed by a 3-year old. They do not start with the value you set, and the act of setting makes you painfully start with 18 Hours!! Who sets a timer for 18 hours?!!

No way to turn off the sound so I deleted the app.

I think this can be a very helpful app for any chef to be or cook at home! I would say it would be helpful for the convertor to be written in instead of just turning the dial, can be hard to get that exact number you want to convert. I also wish I knew how to pay for a ad-free version, less pop-ups when using! Maybe pronunciation for more terms than just the mainly French terms (and uncommon equipment!), Im able to get most, however a few still trip me up. Otherwise helpful resource for any home kitchen!
