AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
hRecipe is a highly rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Editor category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros

I know there are more. If you weren’t listed, contact me, I’ll add you in.
Note: I was contacted in October 2011 by the plugin team at Automattic
and requested to remove a specific translation link. Automattic is
concerned that translations are being provided to obtained valuable
SEO backlinks.
As a result, I’m delinking all commercial links from the hRecipe
plugin. If your company provided a translation and you want it
removed as a result, I’ll be happy to do that, just let me.

How hRecipe benefits you The magic happens using “microformats,” technology
invisible to you, but friendly to search engines.
The hRecipe plugin shows a popup windows with text fields and text
areas that allow the author to conveniently enter the various parts of
the hRecipe microformat, then inserts a formatted recipe into the page
or post. The formatting has the hRecipe class specifications.
There is a growing list of options to control how your recipes
are displayed:
Ingredients lists formatting can be either by number or by bullet point.
The background color of the formatted recipe can be specified to match or offset the background color of the enclosing web page.
The display text for many sections of recipes may be specified.
International support is growing rapidly.

Coding (and styling) review hRecipe would really benefit from a code review, especially from a
PHP/WordPress expert. The primary concern right now is ensuring that
the Javascript and CSS are handled in an optimal manner. Contact the
author if you would to like to help by reading through the code.
