Once you have you a list of recipes, you can narrow your results using a filter which sorts recipes by popularity and/or member rating. The app is available for free, but if you are an Allrecipes member, you will want to upgrade to the Pro version. The $4.99 Pro version lets you tap into your online recipe box and removes any ads that are present in the free version.
