Cook'n on iPad Just Went from Boring to BREATHTAKING!


Holy cow! Have you seen what Cook'n looks like on an iPad lately?!

We've been making some pretty exciting improvements to Cook'n for iPhone. But here's something you might not have realized...

Those same improvements look absolutely SPECTACULAR on iPad!

In fact, some of the changes are even MORE impressive on that beautiful, big screen!

I made a quick demo video so you can see what I'm talking about. Check this out!





Let's start with My Recipes.

Remember the old My Recipes view? It was basically a bunch of text lists. Cookbook names. Recipe names. More text. More lists.

On an iPhone, that was functional. But on a big, beautiful iPad screen?

BORING!!!

Ya boring!





Well, those days are OVER!

Now, your cookbooks come alive with gorgeous, full-color cookbook covers! Your recipes show off their delicious food photos! And instead of scrolling through boring text lists, you're browsing a beautiful, visual collection of all your favorite recipes!











The difference is like NIGHT and DAY!

And here's another little thing I LOVE about Cook'n on iPad...

At the top of the new My Recipes view, we've added those handy little navigation buttons (we call them "pills") for Cookbooks, Made by Me, Smart Folders, and Categories.

On an iPhone, you swipe sideways to see them all. But on an iPad? They're ALL right there in front of you!





One tap and BOOM! You're exactly where you want to be!

And wait until you see the new Recipe Details screen!

This might be my favorite part!

Because the iPad has so much more screen space, Cook'n can display your recipes in a beautiful two-column layout.

On the left, you've got your recipe name, description, and ingredients.

On the right, you've got that gorgeous food photo and your step-by-step directions.

Everything is beautifully organized and easy to see!

And when you turn the page?











Oh, baby!

That new page-turning animation is the BOMB DIGGETY on iPad!

Seriously. You've gotta see it in action!

And we didn't stop there!

The Discover view got a makeover too! It's cleaner, more inviting, and filled with beautiful, colorful food photos that really POP on that big iPad screen.





It's the kind of experience that makes you want to browse recipes just for the fun of it!

And THEN there's the icing on the cake...

COLORS!!!

With Cook'n's new color-changing capabilities, you can personalize the app with a color that matches your style!

Want something bright and cheerful? Go for it!

Something cool and relaxing? You got it!





It's YOUR Cook'n. Make it look the way YOU like it!

And here's something else that's got me excited...

The future of foldable phones!

Imagine opening up a foldable iPhone and having a screen that's almost like carrying an iPad mini in your pocket!

All these gorgeous new Cook'n screens, the colorful cookbook covers, the beautiful recipe layouts, the mouthwatering food photos, right there on a screen that folds up and goes wherever you go!





If Apple brings us that kind of foldable iPhone experience, Cook'n is going to ROCK on it!

But you don't have to wait for the future to enjoy this stuff.

And if you haven't opened Cook'n in a while, you're in for a BIG surprise! Fire it up and take a look. You might hardly recognize it!

If you've got an iPad, grab it and open Cook'n right now!

Explore your cookbooks. Browse your recipes. Try changing the colors. Open one of your favorite recipes and turn a few pages.

And if you've been using Cook'n mostly on your iPhone, give it a try on the bigger screen.

I think you're gonna LOVE what you see!

Our little team of Cook'n Elves has been working like crazy to make Cook'n more beautiful, more enjoyable, and more FUN to use.

Because we don't just want Cook'n to be the place where you STORE your recipes.

We want Cook'n to be the place where you LOVE spending time with your recipes!

Happy Cook'n!
