Yeah… I don’t use the recipe aspect of the app at all. Couldn’t even tell you how or it’s at all accessible.
I strictly use the kitchen scale function. I just enter into the screen where there is a close button, where the weight is displayed, a button where you can toggle between kelos/grams, LBS. and a button to zero out the weight. When I want to weigh/measure something like coffee for example, I just place VO focus on the field with the weight read out and as I measure out my coffee beans or water, VO will speak the weight in real time as I add or subtract whatever it is I’m dumping on it. The scale itself has a physical button to tare the weight so once I’ve got VO on that weight field, I don’t have to mess with my phone. Sometimes, VO may lose focus and skip over to the close button, but that’s not terribly common and I just have to flick back to the weight field if it happens. My first choice would of course be to have a super simple stand alone talking scale, but as it seems I’m a slayer of such devices, I’ve found this scale at least to be easy enough without too many hoops to jump through just to be able to measure out a good cup of coffee in the morning.

The Drop scale has all sorts of recipes you can do, but in all honesty it sounds complicated to me. I guess if you don’t have a talking scale you could buy one of these instead, but I still wonder if, for example, the Drop app has a setting like Paprika which prevents the iPhone from going to sleep. Christobal said once focus is on the readout field then Voiceover reads out updated information, but what happens if you change from one ingredient to another or if you don’t do something for a bit and the phone turns off, then I have to unlock the phone again and so on unless I go into Settings and tell it not to automatically turn off. Also, how easy is it to 0 out the scale with various bowls or plates on it? On the My Weigh talking scale I have all you have to do is put whatever bowl or plate you want to use on the scale before you turn it on and when you turn it on it always goes to 0 regardless of how big or heavy a bowl you have on it. And if, for example, I want to put 300 grams of flour in the bowl and then add 100 grams of sugar I can simply press the tare button after adding the flower, the readout goes back to 0 and I can add my sugar.
