Sarina's Sephardic Cuisine app - Part 4

We have 8 categories in the app, Salads, Soups, Sauces/Pickles, Vegetable/Rice Dishes, Hors d'oeuvre's, Dairy, Entree, and Pastries.

I'm currently halfway through the Sauces/Pickles. I've been checking every individual recipe, and tapping every button on each recipe to find errors. I've found numerous - mainly grammatical ones that we can easily fix in our interface.  Others were more of to improve the look and feel of the app. For example, one feature we saw in other cookbook apps was that some had the directions in a list.  Others had it step by step. We liked it step by step.  If you were working on the recipe and then you had to look away to do a specific task, you'd have to look back at the recipe and then look to find your place in it before doing the next step. Thats hugely annoying isn't it?  What we did was we broke it down into steps, so once you started - it'd show Step one is do this.  When you're done, you tap a button and move on to step 2 and so on.

The developers we're working with aren't big on grammar, so we've been catching some grammatical/typo errors in the layout of the app.  For example, we saw a pop up say "Plaese" instead of the correct "Please."  I really hope that I'm not embarrassed by one that we missed when it goes live!

We did tap on two recipes and found that it crashed the app, so have to debug that.  I have a LONG list - 21 items so far, of small fixes to do.

Here's a picture of the splash screen.  Nice isn't it???

 This screen shot is of the recipe.  We're going to be removing the arrows on the sides of the steps to add 2 more numbers.  You can swipe that bar back and forth.  We're thinking about moving that bar down to the bottom. If anybody has any opinions on that, feel free to comment below.  Also we found the text of the steps to be small and have asked them to increase the font size a couple levels.

This is the main screen where you can select the categories of the recipes we've curated for the app.
