 Limited export abilities March 4, 2006

Doesn't export in any useable format. You can only export recipes in text or MasterCook format, you can't export into MS Word format to backup or share a collection of your recipes or menus--you can email them out.
 Horrible January 4, 2006

I can't even get it to install. I've been waiting for someone, anyone to help me, but they just send me the same instructions to fix the bugs in my system. It can't possibly be their problem. I keep getting an Installshield script running 1607 error, and everytime I contact them, I get the same "fixes." I see on the Net that other people have this problem too, so it has to be in their software.
Beware and be warned...
 Import recipes from web pages - great new feature! January 11, 2006

I have used Mastercook programs for years but have found the recent versions to be a bit awkward to navigate. Version 9 is an improvement with some nice added features. I especially like the web import tool. It was a little difficult to find it and get it working with Internet Explorer, but well worth the trouble. Once you open the tool in IE you simply highlight portions of an online recipe, mark what the text is (title, instructions, picture, etc) and then import directly to Mastercook. I love this new feature. If you have an older version, it is worth upgrading. If you have never tried Mastercook and are looking for recipe software, this version is a good one for the price. It comes with many recipes and you can easily add your own or collect new ones online!
Pretty Good ... but Watch Your Palm OS Version June 16, 2006

Overall, this product is terrific. It has a number of great and imaginative recipes. It allows you to add your own, too. But I was looking forward to using this software with my Palm Z22 with Palm OS 5.x. Well, MasterCook supports Palm OS 3.5 and 4.x, but not 5.x.
One other thing I kind of dislike is that the interface appears to be HTML-based and not very elegant. Inputting your own recipes is a bit clunky. Also, the underlying database allows any inputs for measurements. This will present some inconsistencies with "Merge Like Items" in your Shopping Lists when you have 8 oz water in one place and 1 cup in another.
But what are you expecting for a single Jackson, anyway?
Doesn't support Vista July 22, 2007

I love Mastercook and have had 2 earlier versions, but when we had problems installing the new version on a new computer and transporting on files over, we were told they don't support Vista. We eventually got the files converted but would have appreciated support doing it.
