This is exactly what happened to me earlier this year. But when the details load, you can barely believe your eyes - this “new” app is actually a copy of your own. An app catches your eye, and you tap on it to learn more. Imagine yourself casually browsing the iTunes App Store to check out the latest releases. This Member Blog shares his words of wisdom for app developers and content creators who may find themselves in a similar position. It’s my own personal and cherished recipe app, but also one I’m happy to share with you.ACT | The App Association member Dan Russell-Pinson recounts his experience dealing with, and defeating, a copycat app. Armed with my passion, and more than 10 years of experience as a software developer, I created OrganizEat. When I just couldn’t find that ideal app, I decided to create it myself. Recipes are our memories, our topics of conversation, our ways of expressing ourselves, and our daily companions.Īny app that I would dare use for my recipes should respect all of this, and not merely serve as a storage bin.
After all, as anyone who likes to cook will tell you, recipes are more than just a list of cooking instructions. I wanted a worthy home for it! A simple yet beautiful digital “cookbook” conveniently divided into sections, with an elegant look and feel. I care for my recipe collection too much. Some expected me to actually type in all those recipes one by one – seriously?!? Others did allow you to capture a photo of your recipes, but did not allow you to save ones from the web (a huge source of cooking inspiration). Most apps came with their own recipes, while I wanted a place for my own. I searched for an app to help, but I couldn’t find one that suited my needs. Such as at the store checking for an ingredient, on the playground with other moms when we share dinner ideas, and of course in the kitchen when I cook. Moving all of my recipes my iPhone meant I would always have my recipes with me when I needed them. I had to contend with: a folder full of cutouts from magazines and handwritten notes, an email inbox of internet recipes I had sent to myself, and cookbooks full of yellow sticky notes “bookmarking” the recipe pages. However, I quickly found out just how painful this process is. The logical next step for me was to migrate my recipes onto my iPhone. Whether it’s experimenting with a new recipe or following Grandma’s, I manage to produce amazing results. While I was never a natural in the kitchen, I can still create delicious meals – all due to my precious recipes. I’m a wife, mother to two girls, and lead software developer for OrganizEat.
