Recipe Radar is an app being developed by KEMF Apps to help busy people easily find quick and simple recipes using ingredients they already have on hand. The app will allow users to search recipes, share their own recipes with other users, and rate recipes. It is aimed towards busy individuals like students who want homemade meals but do not have much time to cook or shop. A minimum viable product will allow users to share recipes, and the app hopes to attract users by providing easily navigated, simple recipes.
