Dinner Spinner
The bulk of my work right now revolves around this little beauty pictured above called Dinner Spinner. Dinner Spinner comes in two flavors Dinner Spinner Free and Dinner Spinner Pro. With over 11 Million downloads between all of the Allrecipes mobile products it keeps me pretty busy. The basic concept of the app is that you can select dish type, ingredients, and ready in and the spinner will randomize recipes by these three categories. In addition to the spinner the app has a featured section, favorites, search, shopping list, and settings. The app itself has over 40,000 top rated recipes all submitted by users. You can upload photos of recipes or share them with friends. Dinner Spinner is available on iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone 7. We have just ported it over to work on Android tablets and the Kindle Fire.
The search section has a number of dietary filters including: vegetation, vegan, no dairy, no wheat, high fiber, low fat, low sodium, and low carbs. So you can easily find low fat, low sodium chicken recipes in seconds.
Baconnection
Your phone plus a side of bacon.
If an app could come wrapped in bacon, you'd be eating Baconnection. As it is, it's an essential app for anyone who loves bacon. It's loaded with: Hundreds of bacon recipes from Bacon appetizers to bacon desserts, the ultimate bacon game, challenging you to connect unbacony ingredients with bacon recipes, and bacon trivia to tease your brain. Baconnection is available on Android and the iPhone.
This app features a variety of recipes with bacon in them, from bacon soups to bacon salad, bacon wrapped treats to bacon wrapped meals, bacon burgers to bacon pasta, even bacon with chocolate. No matter how much you already love bacon, you'll discover new ways to cook bacon and new ways to make bacon delicious. You can also save your bacon recipes to your favorites, or email them to friends.
Taste of Home In Season
Taste of Home In Season is a free application that is available on iPhone, iPad, and Android. My initial though was wouldn’t it be great if a user could automatically get recipes based on what’s in season to their location? In Season does just that. Select your state and this app will automatically tell you what’s in season for this time of year and your location and feed a list of great recipes. Taste of Home is a leading food magazine and website with a large customer base.
In addition to what’s in season you can also browse by collection. Collections are a group of recipes that relevant to the time of year you are in. Father’s Day recipes, 4th of July, Get Grilling, and Taste of Summer are all currently available. Collection will be added throughout the year. We also added a number of search filters. Need to make a chicken dish in less than 20 minutes? Do you have special dietary needs? No problem this app will search all the recipes.
Taste of Home In Season is available for free down in iTunes Link or in the Android Market.
T-mobile Social Buzz
Get the latest buzz
Social Buzz is the app to keep all your social networks in one place. This app keeps you plugged into Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. You can see the latest updates, check your messages, post comments, message, and upload photos. Follow status updates as they happen and see new photos, tweets and posts on the fly. Plus, you can respond instantly with comments, messages, @replies and more. Social Buzz comes already preloaded on select T-mobile phones.
- Facebook - See the latest updates, posts and photos. Comment on or “like” updates, and send messages, pokes and more. Update your status anytime.
- MySpace – See new updates, blog alerts, photo uploads and comments. Update your status and mood.
- Twitter - See tweets, post tweets, retweet, @reply and add particularly awesome posts to your Twitter Favorites.
The idea is to bring your favorite social networks into a single place rather than all these separate apps taking up precious space on your phone memory. In addition to the android version there is also a windows 7 version.
