Leave a Review Plan to Eat
This app has changed my life!!
I was terrible about keeping up with all my recipes that I had printed, saved on different websites and apps. I found this app and game over. It’s awesome. I have imported all my recipes from my other sites so they are all now in the same place. You can also import any recipes you find on the internet. Best of all, you can organize, tag and keep them all the way you want them, making them so easy to find. You can use the preloaded categories and tags as well as create unique ones for your needs. After you have all your recipes ready to go, you can go in and plan your meals on the included calendar. You can even schedule in leftovers AND it has a freezer tracker. If you make a recipe and decide to freeze it, just add it to the tracker and you can always see on your app what’s in your freezer.
I can’t express how much I love this app and how it has streamlined my meal planning and organization!!
Get it, you won’t be sorry!Show lessOverpriced and not great for efficient meal planning
I paid for this app for the last 2 years, and I don’t hate it. It stores recipes and compiles grocery lists based on the exact ingredients of the recipe you assign to the days of the week. It will import recipes from websites too, but that is more than a little buggy. The recipe import often takes multiple tries to work and it doesn’t like fractions (1/4 cup) or apostrophes and will replace these with random symbols. Not the end of the world, except you want $55 PER YEAR for this? It doesn’t even make sense that this is a subscription, let alone such a pricey one. A one time fee of $55 sounds expensive but more in the realm of what it’s actually worth, but every year? The app does not offer new content or features, which would justify a subscription-based fee system. They are charging the same as a digital subscription to the Washington Post… to compile grocery lists.
Another thing I don’t love is this style of meal planning. It keeps you in the headspace of needing to plan meals that REQUIRE recipes for each night of the week, which makes it easy to create a lot of food waste and will also jack up your grocery bill. It does not lend itself well to brainstorming meals with ingredients that overlap and use things you already have on hand. If you’re trying to save on groceries and limit food waste, this is not the app for you.Show lessThe meal prep planner of all planners!
We’ve been grateful for this app for 10+ years, and it keeps our bellies in check knowing what’s happening in the kitchen each day. The entire internet is my cookbook with the slick use of the import feature to grab recipes and add it to my personal collection. From there, it generates my grocery list based on the date range selected after I’ve plugged in my receipts on the planner. From there, I can pair it down if I already have the ingredient at home, reducing redundancies in my pantry. When I go grocery shopping and take my kids with me, we each have the app and can take on a portion of the list to grab items at the store, then sync the app every few minutes, cutting down the time it takes us to be in and out of the building. It allows my kids to have an active role in helping mom out, and teaches good life skills. I know that this app has saved my family of 7 thousands of dollars over the years. I’ve recommend this app to all my friends, and I hope this app is here to stay for the long haul!Show less
