Easily convert recipes from one serving size to another without having to think about fraction math! ● Also convert between Metric & US measures

**Featured by Apple in Holiday Cooking**

Scale one ingredient at a time with this lighter version—Serving Sizer™ recipe converter or convert complete recipes all at once with Serving Sizer™ Recipe Manager, which has the added advantage of repeated scaling of recipes each time the guest list changes & is sold separately. Additional version available on iPad: Recipe Manager with Serving Sizer for iPad.

● Family of 5, but favorite recipe serves 4? Scale up to 5--less leftovers than just doubling the recipe. A lifesaver especially for parents on a budget.

● Holiday dinners are always around the corner--this time the guest list is for 14. Your favorite recipe serves 6. Let Serving Sizer do the math so you make enough food.

● Dinner for 1 tonight, but you dont want 3 days of leftovers. Convert a 4 serving recipe to a 1-person meal.

● Catering a big event for 100? Scale up an 8 serving recipe for a crowd—buy and make the right amount.

● Sure, anyone can double a recipe from 4 to 8 servings, but what if 10 people are coming & you dont want to run out of meat? Serving Sizer will tell how many lbs to buy for your dinner party.

● Got a cookbook from Europe, but recipes all in metric? Serving Sizer can help here too--all calculations displayed in both Metric & US units. Converting to & from Metric & US measures requires no additional steps. Just tap on "original" serving size & read amounts in both ml & cups.

Pros and cons of Serving Sizer recipe converter app for iPhone and iPad

Serving Sizer recipe converter app good for

Nice innovative approach to a classic problem. Very easy to use, and does the job well. If I could enter custom fractions it would be perfect.
This app is so cool! No more conversion charts combined with calculators to figure out how to upsize or downsize a recipe. Really like the buttons to quickly double and triple size things. Very easy to use!
Very handy for quick conversions. Does as advertised. Only wish there was an audible click on the unique horizontal fractions and unit pickers. Perhaps in the next update. Otherwise an app that will quickly pay for itself if you do a lot of cooking.
I cant do math to save my life. This app makes it easy to customize any recipe without having to understand fractions.
Does its job well. Simple UI. Even my mom could use it! Version 1.1.0 even better. The DEVs incorporated some of my feedback. Couldnt be happier with this app. Just used it to convert some metric recipes the other day. -J in Seattle
I only used it a few times, than my son thats 2 wanted 1 pancake and the box makes 8 so I pulled my iPhone out and did this app. And wow it was gr8.

Some bad moments

Should be more intuitive. Cant get half, quarter measures to work. Looked for it to help me out in a pinch and it didnt.
This application does the job, but the learning curve to figure out how to use it is much too steep.
It isnt practical for reducing recipes. It read "too small" when it could have read a dash. It also changed teaspoons into ml, which I dont use. It would be nice if it went from spoon measurement to spoon measurement, or from ml to ml, etc. so measurements are common for the user. I spent $.99 for an application that claimed to convert portions and with least amount of steps. It failed.
Kludgy interface. Tried to increase a recipe using original serving as 1 and converted as 1.25 and the app throws all kinds of errors about the number (the 1.25) being too large!!!! and then just try to modify the error inducing value!! More errors!!! WTF?? Lamest of the lame. Using original size of 4 and converted size of 5 (same ratio as 1:1.25) worked, but give me a break! Wont be getting the "pro" version as the 99¢ one is not impressive.
