Has anyone seen the Super Chef TM app? Was only released a few days ago and it's free to download at the moment. I just had a quick look at it and seems quiet slow but I haven't had a real good look through it but seems to be quiet a few recipes.
-
I just had a closer look and some recipes are included and others have to be purchased.
-
Can not find the app on itune store
-
I just typed in Thermomix and it come up
-
I've just downloaded this app, and I'm either more technically challenged than I thought I was, or there's something wrong. How do you get to see the instructions/method for each recipe? I can see the ingredients list, the chef secrets, but no method? There's blank boxes next to each of the ingredients, but nothing else?!!

I still can not find it.. Can you send me the correct name of the app?
-
Try cooking with the super chef, that might help hopefully. It has a picture of a super hero chef
-
I downloaded it the other day, have had a quick look while I was waiting somewhere the other day ... then stumbled across the recipes that I had to purchase (it seems to be $0.99 a category or $9.99 for the lot - SNEAKY!) and I have a feeling they are recipes sourced from the web and/or other cook books!! The gluten free bread is the Cyndi O'Meara's recipe...
You need to slide to the right to get the method ;)
ETA - just looked a bit further, it has the Vege Stock Concentrate recipe in there, Tenina's Umami Paste recipe...
-
This app looks pretty useless to me. The translations seem to be poor, a lot of the recipes are inaccessible unless you purchase them and $9.99 seems very expensive for these recipes- the free ones seem to be sourced from Internet sites anyway. I can't comment on the purchased recepies as I refuse to pay this amount of money for recipes I probably have already. Is it just my imagination (paranoia?) but it just looks like someone else cashing in on the Thermomix bandwagon. I hope others can correct me if I'm wrong about this app.
-
That's my gut feeling to Merlin ... I am tempted to purchase it (and claim it on tax because I can) so that I can have a close look and post a proper opinion here for everyone (and also leave feedback on iTunes if I felt it warranted it!)
still thinking about it though ...
-
Just downloaded it, and think the same, someone else cashing in, not paying for the extra recipes at 9.99 is a rip off. All the free recipes are taken off other peoples blogs, like Tenina's umami paste recipe. wonder if they asked permission.
-
OK I purchased it as it was irritating me :o :o
my advice is DO NOT BUY this app, in fact I wouldn't even download the free part as that is just giving them some credit and they are just causing in - not only on Thermomix but also on our hard work that we happily share for NOTHING on this forum.
If you have it I would try and leave feed back.
I have still only had a quick look but this is what I have found so far ...
Antipasto Scrolls - Cookie1's recipe from here - listed as taken from Cookie1's blog (did they contact you Cookei??!!)
Home Made Cottage Cheese - CarolineW's recipe from here - listed as taken from CarolineW's blog (did they contact you too??!!)
Beef & Guiness Stew - Riv-Mum's recipe from here - claimed as their own recipe!!!!!
Broccoli & Almond Soup - Kath's recipe from here - listed as taken from Kath's blog (bet they didn't ask her either!)
As I said I only had a quick look and these were the one that jumped out at me that I knew were from here and checked up on quickly. I will have more of a look and will be leaving a review on iTunes - will get DH to help me construct something >:( >:( >:(
-
OMG that is so disgusting. Making money out of others hard work. Cookie, riv_mum, Caroline_W and Kath should be seeking compensation. Hopefully we can get the word out enough so that no one purchases the app.
-
Faffa they have your 'just for fun play dough' - it has your name down the bottom of the recipe. Did they ask you??
-
That all sounds a bit off to me. I don't even have a blog and the only place that recipe can be found is here on the forum. It's no skin off my nose as I put it up to share but they should ask.
If I was Tenina I'd be hopping mad as that is how she makes her living. Imagine taking her umami paste recipe.
They need a 'kick up the backside.'
-
Cookie a kick up the * with footy boots on ;D

I am sure Tenina would have some sort of copyright on her recipes, I certainly hope so as this is just wrong >:(
-
These people obviously don't realise that the 'forum police' are on the lookout for these type of things. Well spotted girls and the best thing that could happen is that people shy away from buying the app.
-
I for one am VERY glad to hear the forum police are sneaking around on behalf of hard-working bloggers! :-* :-* :-*
I'm sure Tenina will have something to say about it. I saw this new one appear on the app store a few days ago but when they don't look legit I prefer not to give them any of my time or attention whatsoever. Have to say I did not take a close look at the app though, as my phone is full :o and there's no room for new apps :( I couldnt't even download the Christmas recipe from the official app >:( nor the Dinner Spinner app. I need to do something to fix the phone but each time I try it just crashes. ???
Thanks again for those who watch out and warn to prevent us from wasting money ;)
-
Didn't even think to check the play dough recipe lol ... I just think it is so rude and especially for those that do blog and are so contributing to here and the forum world.
I am glad to have spent the $10 if I can stop other people wasting their money. Have had visitors this morning and am about to take the kids to mini golf but will be placing a review on iTunes in the next day or so believe me!
-
That's good Kathryn.
-
What is wrong about it is that even though it is 99c that they will still be making a fair amount of money from other peoples intellectual property!! As people have the " it's only 99c attitude" but every $ adds up..........
-
I've put up a message on the Facebook Wall of the App Store, giving the Super Chef App the thumbs down and saying why.
-
That's a good idea MJ.
-
Thanks faffa for buying the full version and warning others. It is wrong how some of these recipe apps are made without permission from the original sorce. >:(
-
Not only have they used the play dough recipe, it is in the contents 13 or 14 times!!! (I lost count lol)
Also tonight when I am playing with it to check out more recipes it keeps crashing ... another negative to add to the review >:(
