iSmoothie review





iSmoothie by David Gulbrandsen

Current Price: $0.99
LE?: YES

Reviewed at v2.0

iSmoothie is the only comprehensive beverage app dedicated solely to smoothies. Featuring over 100 recipes, iSmoothie delivers several lists of tasty, fruity, savory concoctions perfect for summer.

There are five buttons at the bottom of the app: favorites, categories, smoothies, ingredients, and random. You're able to star your favorite recipes, add notes & ingredients, search for smoothies with specific ingredients, and hit the random button to discover new smoothies daily. There are a host of new features in v2.0, including adding pictures.

The UI of the app makes it easy to find new recipes, and the search engine breaks down your search into different categories featuring that specific ingredient. For example, if you search chocolate, you get a list of related ingredients, including chocholate syrup, ice cream, etc.

In all honesty, this app doesn't deliver anything new in terms of smoothies. You can find many of these recipes in a book at the library. However, this app allows you to quickly and easily browse a list of recipes at your convenience. For heavy-duty smoothie makers, it will come in handy.

Currently, this app costs $0.99. A lite version is available, so I recommend you try that out first and upgrade if you use iSmoothie heavily. For what it's worth, however, you won't find any recipe book for a cheaper price than iSmoothie for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
