Cook'n for iOS Just Got a Lot Sexier


After months of hard work, the Cook'n Elves finally finished and released the new version of Cook'n for iOS with a sexy new look & feel.


We scrapped the old Discover View and re-created it from scratch using all native iOS components...and, I must say, it's pretty LIT!

The Scoreboard at the very top of the screen is much cleaner looking. As my boys would say: "Lookin' fresh, Dad!"







The red headers make it super easy to browse the different sections of the curated recipe content on the Discover view.







And, the recipes themselves appear with bright, colorful food photos on cards with rounded corners and drop shadows for a brilliant 3D look & feel.







The new Discover View is your one-stop shop for finding answers to that age old question: "What's for dinner?" Check out these amazing options:

  • Internet Recipe Search: Simply type in the recipe you are looking for at the top of the screen. Or, type in the food items that you have on-hand and our Better-than-Google recipe search engine will instantly serve up some great recipe search results.

  • Recently Made: When Cook'n users post recipes that they've made, the recipes appear here in the Recently Made ticker. These recipes are the proven, kitchen-tested favorites...the crème de la crème!

    Simply swipe left to see the recipes that were posted most recently. And, if you want to see more, than that, simply tap the "See More" button! Also, don't forget to Sort By: "Most Liked" so you can see which Made recipes Cook'n users like best!

  • Captured Just Now: As soon as someone Captures an internet recipe, the recipe appears here on the Capture Ticker. But, you gotta be quick because with more than 126,000 recipes Captured in the last 30 days, this Capture Ticker can move pretty quick sometimes. If you miss some, just scroll to the right and tap "See More."

  • Trending Captures: This section is brand new. The Trending Captures ticker shows the most Captured recipes in the last 24 hours. This is a great way to crowdsource your recipes!

  • Cook'n A.I. Recommends: Cook'n A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) identifies your personal taste preferences and recommends recipes that are perfect just for you! This amazing, exclusive Cook'n feature truly is uncanny in its ability to recommend just the right recipes for your personal tastes.

  • Live Recipe Feed: The Live Recipe Feed is like having your finger on the pulse of recipes on the internet. The minute a new recipe is posted on the internet, it appears here in your Live Recipe Feed. The icon in the top left corner of each recipe card tells you the source of the recipe.

    And, rather than a horizontal scroller (like the other sections), the Live Recipe Feed features a never-ending vertical scroll component for eternal culinary bliss!

And, don't forget...just pull down to refresh the Discover View.

Here is the new Discover View in Action...


We hope you love the new Look & Feel. Way to go, Cook'n Elves!! Thank you for working so hard to make Cook'n better and better!!
