When it works it's great, but if you get a new device you lose everything you made. I even paid for the back up and can't restore any of the recipes. The app won't load at all on my new phone so I tried it from the Chromebook. It loads but it's empty.

I can't change the currency on this, the preference page is blank. All in all it's an easy app to use, much less fiddly than similar app. I hope to see improvements.

It worked fine for ages and I paid for the backup feature. I could never find the backups. Then it crashed. I lost 4 years worth of work and their was no backup to install. I couldn't even export to a CSV file.
