Email floorapps@icloud.com with Costos in the subject, and say which iPhone you have. If a price looks wrong, a screenshot of the recipe’s How it adds up helps.
How does Costos work out a price? It adds up the ingredients, the packaging and decoration, your hours at your hourly rate and your overhead, puts your profit on top and rounds up. How it adds up, on every recipe, shows each number and where it comes from.
A recipe says my work isn’t counted. Costos needs to know what an hour of your work is worth. Tap Set hourly rate on the recipe, or set Hourly rate in Settings, behind the gear on Recipes. It counts for every recipe.
A recipe asks for a price. One of its ingredients has no price yet, so it counts as free until you add one. Tap the orange warning on the recipe to add what the pack costs and how much it holds. The same goes for a missing cup or piece weight.
Costos asks what a cup or a piece weighs. That happens when you buy something by weight and measure it in cups or pieces, like flour by the kilo used by the cup. Weigh one on a kitchen scale and type it in once. Common baking staples come filled in.
How do I use the same filling or frosting in several cakes? Make it a recipe of the kind Base and say how much it makes. Then add it to each cake by weight or by batch, and each cake takes its share of what the base costs, your time making it included.
How do I send a quote by WhatsApp? Open the quote and tap Send. Choose Image for a chat or PDF for printing, tap Send image or Send PDF, and pick WhatsApp. Each quote can be in English or Spanish, under Language.
Save Image doesn’t save the quote. Costos needs permission to add to your Photos. Go to Settings, then Apps, then Costos, then Photos.
My recipes don’t show up on my other iPhone or iPad. Check that both are signed in to the same Apple Account with iCloud on for Costos. Settings in Costos says whether your recipes are syncing. Changes can take a minute to arrive.
What’s free? Your first three recipes for cakes or pieces, with every feature, including quotes, the shopping list and iCloud. Bases and ingredients don’t count. After that, you unlock unlimited recipes once, with no subscription.
I bought the unlock on another iPhone. Open Settings in Costos and tap Restore purchase.
