Food Recipe Cross-Platform Android and IOS Application Project

Surely there are many Food Recipe Cross-Platform apps that offer a wide variety of options to choose from, but most of them are online only, and those that are offline lack either that multitude of options or are devoid of proper UX and structure.

Modules and Description:

1. Smart search filters:

Users can search or filter recipes by name-based ingredients and diet. When a user searches for an ingredient, all the related recipes to that ingredient will be shown to the user, and a search based on a diet is also displayed. For example, some people are allergic to some ingredients and wish not to include them in their meals. The user will be able to search the recipe based on diet or other requirement factors. The search filter will return the appropriate recipes depending on the type of search.

Search by name, base-ingredients, diets,.

2. Categorized view:

These shopping list features take out all the work for you, whether you want to share a virtual list with your family and friends, or check out the nutrition facts for whatever you’re buying. It can be used and created by more than just a cell phone, as some apps can integrate with smartwatches.

Like knife skills, etc., and including a ‘Dictionary’ to understand common culinary terminology.

Future Scope:

In future work, I am planning to persist in developing more mobile apps and entering deeply the world of Android development. Food Recipe Cross-Platform has helped me to gain a lot of development skills and enrich my background, as I spent the previous 4 months searching for every tiny detail that concerns the development of android applications. Thankfully, I have built a good knowledge.

Therefore, any upcoming Food Recipe project of mobile application development will undoubtedly be within my reach. In addition, as to the future of Recipe Organizer, I will deploy it in Google PlayStore and update the app from time to time if necessary. I will export my database soon and then buy an account in Google PlayStore to publish the app. Also, I will monetize my application using Admob.
