Can't figure out why th Editor's Review gave a 4 star for this program
Cons: - Technologically ***OLD*** (VB6 & Access DB. Could use .NET and SQL Server Express at least!)
- The look is ***OLD*** (used some sort of icons created in mid 80's!)
- The program itself is not fully functionnal. I've tried the Web Recipe Search option and the first site proposed was "The Internet Chef". So i tried to find a recipe on it, but the link inside the app was probably hardcoded and the developper probably have no right at all to extract recipe from their web site... so they decided to move the page somewhere else and we get a nice 404 Not Found page :-)
- The web site search also doesn't work the 2nd time you try it if you closed the previous Internet Explorer window. You just type a some word to find and no more IE window open... lol
- The Launch ERMSter option give some sort of error message saying that we must download something else ...
- Even for FREE i would NOT use this program. It also claim to be freeware on download.com and sorry, but for me it's some sort of shareware because you have to pay to keep all its functions.
Next time i'll give less importance to Editor's Review... because this application s... big time! Its made by a programmer who did this in his spare time and didn't wanted to spend too much time on the GUI. But the thing is that you could buy professionnal icons for just a dollar to make it look better.
