Allrecipes Releases Updated Award-Winning Dinner Spinner App For Android Phones And Tablets Just In Time For The Holidays

SEATTLE, Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Allrecipes (www.allrecipes.com), the world's largest social food community with more than a billion annual visits, today released a completely redesigned version of Allrecipes Dinner Spinner – the world's No. 1 downloaded recipe app – for Android smartphones and tablets.

Allrecipes' Dinner Spinner for iOS was awarded "Best Cooking App" at the 2014 MIN awards; included on TIME Magazine's 2014 list of best 50 apps for iPhones and iPads; and has a 5-out-of-5 star rating with more than 3,500 reviews in the iTunes store. This updated Allrecipes Dinner Spinner draws from the successful design of the iOS app, while also taking full advantage of Android's unique features and design.  The result is seamless access to Allrecipes' vast collection of top-rated recipes and member shared reviews across both smartphones and tablets.

"Millions of busy, family-focused home cooks are relying on mobile devices when in-store, on-the-go and cooking at home to make grocery shopping and meal preparation faster, easier and more convenient," says Stan Pavlovsky, President of Allrecipes. "We are thrilled to provide Android tablet and smartphones users with a superior app experience that connects them with a community of 40 million home cooks through authentic, meaningful, and highly actionable shared experiences."

"With more than half of the mobile marketplace using Android, optimizing the award-winning Dinner Spinner app was vastly important for the home cooks who use this operating system," said Sanjay Patel, CEO of Perpetuating, Inc., the mobile app strategy and development firm that built the updated Allrecipes Dinner Spinner. "At Perpetuating, our mobile strategy experts collaborated with Allrecipes teams to deliver this app so home cooks can integrate mobile solutions into their daily lives. Now those using Android will also be able to have a best-in-class mobile experience."

Home cooks will love Allrecipes Dinner Spinner's advanced search and browsing features that enable them to find recipes to match their immediate interests and needs based on ingredients, dish types, recipe description, dietary needs, and prep time. Since launching the app five years ago, more than 20 million people have downloaded Allrecipes Dinner Spinner worldwide.

Features of the new Allrecipes Dinner Spinner for Android include:

• Recipe discovery – Home cooks can search for recipes based on ingredients and dietary needs, or review hand-picked seasonal recipe suggestions that are updated daily.
• Seamless access to favorite recipes – Keeping in mind that home cooks today rely on a variety of devices for meal planning, shopping, and preparation, the new app provides them with fast access to research and save recipes to their Allrecipes Recipe Boxes via the app, and their desktop computers.
• Shopper friendly – The scaling feature allows cooks to adjust the number of servings for any recipe to match the exact number of guests, and then add the ingredients needed into an integrated shopping list.
• Video capabilities – More than one thousand mobile-friendly recipe videos guide home cooks through step-by-step preparation of Allrecipes' most sought-after dishes.
• Community & social integration – Home cooks can share reviews, upload photos, and pin/post recipes directly from the app to their favorite social media channels, including Facebook and Pinterest.
