Yummly
This app excellent as anybody can contribute to it and therefore you never know what you are going to get and there are so many different varieties of each recipe so there is bound to be one to your taste.
An additional feature of this app is that you can select your dietary preferences and favourite types of food so that the app can produce a page of recipes especially selected for you. If there is any downside to this app its that because of the sheer volume of recipes it takes a while to choose the one you want.

The Great British Bake Off-Better Baking
This app is great for a beginner baker who want to learn how to make the most simple and traditional cakes in a simple and fool-proof way which teaches you how to do each steps with pictures and detailed description with the finishing touch of inbuilt timers for cooking so you don't overbake your bake.
The only problem is that the app only provides recipes from the classic cakes section and bakes from the previous series of bake-off for free (every other section (there are so many of them (too many to name))costs 79p).
Price: Free (There are in-app purchases)

Jamie Oliver
There are three apps from Jamie Oliver:
Jamie's 20 Minute Meals:
I've never got this app as it doesn't appeal to me as it isn't very good value for money-only 60 recipes for £4.99 and its from the TV series which I have already seen so I'm afraid I cant rate this one.
Jamie Oliver:
This is a sort of free trial version of Jamie Oliver ultimate but with less recipes so for more details of the app read the section on Jamie Oliver Ultimate.
Price: Free
Rating:3.5 Star
Jamie Oliver Ultimate:
This app has over 600 of Jamie Oliver's finest recipes available for use, the app has many features including that it has a shopping list feature so that you can add all of the ingredients from a recipe to the in app shopping list with the click of just one button.
Other features include that there are video guides, collections of recipes for ease of access, a search tool and a cooking now mode which gives step by step picture guides and timers for fool-proof cooking.
Price: £5.99
Rating: 5 Star
In Mary We Trust:
This app has over 60 Mary Berry recipes which means that I would say that this is good value for money.
The app has a Christmas section which includes all of the elements for a traditional Christmas dinner with all the trimming, in addition there is a shopping list, timer and cooking now mode as well as a search tool- these features are very similar to that of the Jamie Oliver Ultimate app.
Price: £1.99

Allrecipes
This is a simple app on which many people post recipes of anything and everything. It has a dinner spinner to help you decide what you want for dinner as well as a search tool which allows you to select your dietary requirements.
Price: Free

What not to get
Of course there are some good apps and some bad apps so, here are some of the bad ones:
ANY James martin app-they are unreliable and not good value for money, they are only useful if you think you are a professional chef.
Allrecipes video-this app doesn't work on my phone at all.
Great British Chefs-This app isn't helpful and gives difficult and expensive recipes meant for professional chefs with unclear and difficult to understand recipes.
