Best food cost managment app Hands down!

Much of my tablet usage is in areas with little or no Internet access, so I need an app that can work offline when necessary. This app won't even let you get to its main screen unless you have Internet access right then and there. Instead, it just says you're offline and tells you to try again later when you are online. Although I can understand the need for a connection for invoice/receipt analysis, why won't it even allow local entry and storage of ingredients and recipes? In addition, it claims to help you discover "hidden costs" but doesn't say anywhere in the app description on the PlayStore that the service that makes the app work costs $60 per MONTH! Talk about hidden costs! Sorry, but although this app looks like it could be useful, I'm such a small operation that that's too big a chunk of my budget - especially when I wouldn't even be able to open the app much of the time that I would need it.
