Serving Sizer Pro Recipe Converter and Cookbook Released for iPhone
Bartlett, Illinois – Finding recipes is easier than ever with the popularity of cooking channels, online sources, clubs, and celebrity chefs. However, people often find themselves wanting to make the latest recipe for a different number of guests. Serving Sizer Pro meets this need by easily scaling entire recipes from one serving size to another without having to think about fraction math and saves the recipe to resize again later.
Creative Algorithms is pleased to announce the release of Serving Sizer Pro(TM) Recipe Converter and Cookbook, software for your iPhone and iPod touch, that easily scales recipes’ ingredients proportionally, based on serving sizes, and saves them for future resizing. Convert a favorite celebrity chef’s recipe that serves eight to one that serves a dinner party of five, and later for a group of 17 holiday guests.
Upsize a favorite family recipe to cater for a large crowd. Scale down a six serving recipe to a romantic dinner for two. Translate a recipe from a European cookbook to US weights and measures–easily toggling between Metric and US units. Serving Sizer “is perfect for customizing recipes for families, large groups, or even small ones,” writes TheiPhoneMom blog. “It gives you the ability to take a recipe and tweak it to fit your family’s size….It’s extremely easy to use.” The new Pro version adds recipe storage for scaling and re-scaling recipes as needed.

Review: Set card game on the iPhone is oh so close to the perfect puzzle app
The idea behind Set, the now-classic card/puzzle game, can be mind-numbingly difficult to explain. Some people just can’t wrap their heads around the “all the same or all different concept.” Of course, some people get it right away. For both types, the new Set app [$2.99] for the iPhone and iPod touch is a fine challenge, even if it’s not perfect in all aspects.
Here’s the gist of the game: each card in the 81-card deck has between one and three images on it. These images come in three shapes (diamond, oval, and squiggly), three colors (red, green, and purple), and three levels of shading (solid, lined, and empty). Every possible combination is available on one single card.
The goal is to find sets from a collection of cards laid face-up on the table. A set is any three cards where each of these four features are, independently, either all the same or all different? So, a single red solid diamond, a single green solid diamond, and a single purple solid diamond make a set (in that example, the number, shading, and shape features are all the same while the colors are all different). Also, a single empty purple squiggle, two lined green diamonds, and three solid red ovals make a set. Got that? Good. If not, click through the gallery of images from the app starting here to see how the game’s designers explain things.
iTunesConnect now allows automated release dates, price changes
Back in the bad old days of the App Store, it was anybody’s guess when a submitted app might get blessed by Apple and show up in iTunes. It might be three days, three weeks, three months, or never. Recent improvements in the approval process have brought that time period down to a matter of hours — but until now, there’s been no way to schedule release dates for apps. Once submitted and approved, apps went straight to the App Store.
