Food Substitute App for Android and Amazon Markets!

This week my husband and I released the first ever Food Substitute App for Android!  It was first available in the Google Play Store but is now also on the Amazon market!

The food substitutes in this app are researched and written to try to help with anyone's cooking situation - from that moment when you realize you’re out of the one ingredient that you need to finish your recipe, to dietary needs, to allergies, or more budget-friendly alternatives. We hope to help any chef in any kitchen create a delicious dish that meets their needs. Currently we have over 100 foods and over 230 substitutes with more being added all the time!

So, here's the insider's peek of our app, hope you enjoy!

The home screen with the 4 features of this first version:




The Search By Food list that you can scroll through....
 Or type the food you're looking for in the top search bar and watch those letters highlight in the foods that match until you find what you want.
 Each food's page has a list of subs that drop down with more info for using the sub, as well as a Food Details tab that gives background and hints for the food itself.
There's also a Submit Ideas Feature that lets the user submit subs that they know, or make requests for foods or subs they need.
 This last graphic is a promo that my husband made for use in the play store.
I'm a little embarrassed to show this last part (because I'm such a lame narrator) but another big feature on the app store is having a video tutorial of the app.  Here I go giving a visual run through of all our app features.




Thanks to all the friends and family that have supported us with this project - it's been so fun sharing it with you and feeling your excitement!

For those of you that have android and/or Amazon phones or tablets, we'd be thrilled if you would download our app (there is a free trial and a $.99 version) and if you enjoy it, we'd really appreciate you taking the time to rate it in the market you used to help our app get noticed.

Even if you can't get our app, we'd love to have help spreading the word. It's amazing how fast and far word of mouth can go in this era of technology, right?  These are the links to the play store for our app:
