Esther, since Mac Gourmet has been totally taken over by Mariner software they are trying to make up for lost time. They are very responsive in relation to accessibility issues and I have heard others say that they honor upgrades if an older version is purchased through the app store. The iOS seems to be accessible although I have not loaded any recipes into it yet. I'm still sorting out all the ones I have on my mac. I think it is much easier to get recipes into Mad Gourmet but I do really like the bulk import feature that Paprika has to offer. I wish Mac Gourmet would come up with a way to do that as well. I think that Mac Gourmet has a lot of extra features but each person will have to decide if the price is worth it. If a person just wants to store recipes then Paprika seems like a great option. To me it seems more basic but then the price is cheaper as well,.One thing that I noticed when exporting my recipes from Mac Gourmet to Paprika which I recently purchases for comparison sake was that the database seems to be smaller in size in Paprika but not sure if that was a fluke or if that is just the way it works out. But if that is the case then maybe it will be smaller on an iDevice as well. Jim
