Software Reviews of MasterCook Deluxe 9.0
Customer Review: so far so good
Summary: 4 Stars
I upgraded from Mastercook 4. This version is considerably better. Converting my old files was easy. I really like the ease of copying web recipes. Makes surfing for recipes more fun and you can paste in pictures.Customer Review: Good.... BUT
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a wonderful program in general. However, it does not work perfectly with VISTA. I cannot figure out how to change the format of the cookbook the way I did on a previous version of both Mastercook and Microsoft. I cannot use their help menu. Other than that there are some things that are better than the very early version I had.
Seller was great.
Customer Review: Hard to navigate

Needs more pictures, hard to enter your own recipes, frustating to use. Does not work well with Vista. Excellent variety and number of recipes. Customer Review: apple unfriendly
Summary: 3 Stars
i've noticed a glitch where the calculated cost is wrong. this is when you calculate a recipe containing an ingredient you have added to the list. in my case, i use organic ingredients, so while adjusting a cookie recipe using organic ingredients, i noticed the cost was off. to solve that, i had to replace all ingredients that were added to the list, with the ones that are already there.
another complaint i have is that this is not apple friendly. ive gone through months of trying to get this software onto my apple. i read that the mastercook version 4 is the last version that works with a mac. so i ordered it but the interface was so ancient and the functions were inefficient. so i decided to make the transition from mac to pc. this is the worst thing to do.
to make the transition from pc to mac is much easier. no one at the apple store is going to help me switch to a pc. the pc isn't smart enough to receive the data from a mac. so i had to have a friend help me and heres' what he did..... after i realized i had too much music to fit on either computers, he suggested i use an external hard drive to fit everything and retrieve my data from the hard drive. problem is, my pc wanted to wipe out my hard drive once i plugged it in. so then we had to do a back up (let's call it drive B) of my back up hard drive (let's call it drive A), then take the back up (driveA) and connect it to the pc. let data load on the pc, and get erased from the driveA, reformat the driveA so that it could work with both platforms and reload the driveA with the data. using master cook has been one of the most cumbersome tasks ive had to do. ive been toggling between 2 computers while doing this switch so now im confused about which documents have been updated on which computer. life could have been so much easier if they made mastercook apple compatible.
Customer Review: Wouldn't call it Deluxe

This was an upgrade for me from a past version. I like the software and the upgrades made. However, the conversion provide to merge in my old data didn't work and getting help from the company didn't happen. I did figure out how to do it, but not with what they provide me.
