BigOven 160,000 Recipes iPhone App
"Since cooking, daily meal planning, grocery shopping and mobility are a natural fit, we knew the application would be popular, but it's astonishing just how popular the BigOven app has become -- nearly every day for its first three months of availability, BigOven was one of the Top 50 Most Popular Apps in the iTunes Store", said Steve Murch, founder and CEO of BigOven.com. Apple Inc. also recently named the BigOven App one of the Top 100 Most Popular Downloads for all of 2008, particularly notable given that the app wasn't released until the final quarter of the year.
The iPhone App lets anyone search a gigantic recipe archive from anywhere -- the grocery store, kitchen, or while traveling. It has rapidly become the most popular cooking-related app on the iTunes store, as measured by downloads. To install the free app, simply visit the iTunes App store and search on "BigOven".
2008 also saw BigOven.com's website traffic rocket ahead dramatically, surpassing 3 million unique visitors in November 2008, according to Google Analytics. In the 24 hours before Thanksgiving, there were over one million pageviews. BigOven.com now counts over a quarter million member cooks from around the world, and is adding thousands of new members every single day.
