@gasolin, you’ll have to wash and dry your hands for now. We are working on a way for it to do your dishes too! ;-)

I had an enjoyable experience and look forward to trying it out on WiFi/3G… that was really my fault. In addition to allowing video “steps” for each post you could consider adding “pictures” for each step as well.

I can TOTALLY appreciate that you don’t have all the time in the world to update everything at once… these things take lots of time and hard work. But, you’ve got an excellent start and an app that is already wonderful. I’m excited to see you folks follow it up with even better improvements.

Keep up the great work… and I’ll have my eye on you guys!

To address some of your great feedback:

We have plans to list “tools” needed- parchment paper would fit in there (but you’ve also got us considering putting it on the shopping list).

As far as reflecting the serving size amounts on the recipe step list, we are working on the best way to approach that. We had a bit of a dillema there- offer it on the shopping list only (doable for this initial release), or wait until we could make it update the recipe steps as well before adding the shopping list slider feature. We obviously opted for the former, which is handy in one sense, but creates the new need to update the steps. Anyway, definitely on the agenda.

We are evaluating the feasibility of tagging the videos to play individual steps as needed as well. We are always weighing adding new features vs. increasing the amount of content. If features aren’t easily scalable, the amount of available recipes could suffer.

I’m sorry you had some trouble streaming the video on the slower network. We did our best to optimize it for less than perfect network connections, but so far, it seems, it is best used with 3G or WiFi. We will continue to do what we can from our end, but some of it is obviously out of our hands.

As far as merging the list with other apps, we realize that this is one of the potential strengths of Android and will look into it as opportunities arise. In the meantime, if you scroll down to the bottom of a shopping list you will find the ability to add items to your list (in your case you may have wanted to add the broccoli and rice that you chose to accompany the dish).

Thanks again for the review. So glad your overall experience was enjoyable with our first release. We’ll do our best to make Cooking Capsules better all the time! Stay tuned!

Happy Cooking,
