Ricoh Recipes App Update!!

I just released a pretty significant Ricoh Recipes App update! There are several exciting improvements and new features that you’ll want to be aware of. If you don’t already have the App on your phone and you have a Ricoh GR, GR II, GR III or GR IIIx, you’ll want to download it for free today—consider becoming a Patron subscriber to unlock the best App experience, including premium features and some bonus Recipes.

The first new feature is Custom Recipes, which are blank Recipe cards that allow you to input your own Recipes into the App. The Custom Recipes feature is designed to be intuitive yet versatile—most of the fields have dropdown menus or +/- buttons; however, they are also free-form text fields, so you can enter whatever information you’d like. Custom Recipes is integrated into Filtering, Favoriting, Random Recipes, and the Selected Recipe Widget. If you enjoy making your own Recipes, Custom Recipes is something you’re going to love. Note: Custom Recipes require a Patron subscription to unlock.

Next is Discover Recipes, which is a fun new way to browse Ricoh Recipes. Not sure which one to try? Scroll through the example photos, and if you find a picture aesthetic that you like, tap the image to be taken to the Recipe. Discover Recipes is available to everyone; since it works with Filtering, it can be even more useful to Patron subscribers.

Last but certainly not least is Backup/Restore. You can save a backup file of all your Custom Recipes, Favorites, and Notes. You can restore that file later, and you can also send the file to another device and restore it there. If you want to ensure your inputs are not lost, if you want to share those with another device, or if you are upgrading to a new device, Backup/Restore is the way to do it. This is a manual feature, and it does not work automatically. Note: if you restore a backup file and there were inputs not saved in that backup file, those will be lost—restoring the backup file will override the current data.

There were also a lot of behind-the-scenes changes that you are not likely to notice, but should make the App operate more stable and smooth. Overall, there are a lot of things, both big and little, that make this update quite significant. Whether you use the Ricoh Recipes App for free, or if you are a Patron subscriber, you’ll likely notice some positive changes that I hope you like. Also, this update is made possible by the App Patrons, so I want to give a big “Thank you!” to all of the Ricoh Recipes Patron subscribers—your support is appreciated more than you can know.
