Serving Sizer Recipe
Cards for iPad

Last month we updated Serving Sizer Recipe Cards for iPad with a new user interface with beautiful graphics and a easy-to-use alphabetical index for your personal recipe card file.

This month we added styling of your recipe cards so you can A) make them more personal and B) find them easier with visual clues (color/designs). We've included standard index card color packs (pastel and rainbow) for free, as well as a free sample of the Fall Leaves Design Pack. The card design packs are optional, but really enhance the app. You can find a preview the content of the two for purchase on our website.

Please let us know what you think!

Tips for using
New Recipe Card Design Style

Serving Sizer Recipe Cards
for iPad

To change a recipe card design style, visit the Edit Recipe screen (the index card). On the bottom toolbar, you'll find an Artist's Palette icon. Tap this icon to bring up the popover.

Pick a recipe card style for your recipe. All available cards will appear in the list. Switch between the options until you find one you like and tap outside the popover to dismiss it.

Tap Add More to select more designs. Included are two free colored card packs, based on index card color packs. Tap on the Free button to install them. Also free is a sample from the Fall Leaves pack.

Two for-purchase packs are available for 99c each. Tap on the price tag to buy these using your iTunes account. We've put a snapshot of each card on our website if you'd like to preview them before buying.

More card designs are on the way. Hope you enjoy the new way to personalize your recipe collection!
