Way awesome app

I love this app. Does all the planning for me. All I have to do is cook and eat! When I first got into meal planning, the planning part was my biggest hurdle. This app makes it so easy for me with a huge selection of dishes to choose from.

One suggestion I have: I use an app to order my groceries to be delivered to me. It would be nice to have a way to export my grocery list on this app so I can put it on my grocery app if possible! Currently I have to bounce back between the two. It’s not a problem or anything. Just could be more streamlined and efficient!

Nevertheless thank you for a wonderful app!

Absolutely awesome

I am so happy with this app. They have literally made it so easy for me to plan my (vegan!!) meals every week. The shopping list that updates itself is INCREDIBLY helpful. I go though before I go to the store and mark off the ingredients I already have, then I’m on my way. Everything is separated into sections so it makes grocery shopping super easy. The prep part is also amazing, everything is perfectly portioned to fit into my meal prep containers. I am so happy with this app and will HAPPILY pay for it monthly because it makes my life so much easier. I am a newby figure competitor and this is perfect for me. Now I just need Kevin to sponsor me after I win my first comp ;) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Please create partner sharing!

I just started using this app with my fiancé to get our eating on track for our goals. I like that it selects recipes and that you can swap what you don’t like, and it keeps track of what you’ve consumed. But there’s a couple major kinks to this: 1- It doesn’t provide portion sizes for the two people in a functional way. Stating my partner eats 65% while I eat 35% requires a lot of extra work to determine how many ounces or servings I should be consuming. 2- We can’t both have our tracked plans on the same account and be synced across two devices with the same info. Even being logged into the same account on two devices doesn’t provide the exact same meals etc without significant manual swapping. We both want to be on track and eat the same things (but different portions) and know we are consuming what we need to to meet our goals. Partner sharing or partner syncing should definitely be in the set of fixes!

Sync

I wish this app would sync with MyFitnessPal so I can track my fitness with my Fitbit.

Easy to use, recipes are delicious

Disclaimer: have used this app for 2 weeks.

Pros:
- amazing to be able to outsource meal planning, the meals have all been reliably healthy and delicious, as well as fun to prep
- The grocery list function is a real time saver, allowing you to select groceries and do online curbside delivery in advance.

Areas for improvement:
- plan on tweaking the amounts, especially if prepping for a partner as well. The app essentially just increases each recipe by whatever your partner's caloric needs are which isn't always practical.
- It would be helpful to have an option to display fruits and vegetables as whole or half items in the recipes (like on the grocery list) in order to make prepping easier, plan on using a kitchen scale.
- it would be helpful to be able to separate the grocery list by meal, for example I may go shopping on Sunday afternoon and want lunch and breakfast on the previous week's list.

All in all I definitely recommend the app - give the trial a go to see if the level of structure is something you will use/worth the monthly fee to you.

They have thought of EVERYTHING to help a person be successful at meal planning!!

To start: The app creates a menu for you & if you don’t like what it chooses, you can swap out individual meals for something different; it offers suggestions to swap out with. You can also add your own recipes as well. It also has a shopping list. All you do is push a button on the recipe you’ve chosen & it adds the ingredients to the shopping list. You can cross off items you don’t need & cross things off your list while you shop. All the ingredients on the list are listed in the sections you find them in the store. ie: produce, frozen, spices, etc. The recipes only take 10 to 15mins to make, & the ones I chose, were sooooo delicious that I’m completely sold on this app!! I’m a horrible binge eater & I’m horrible about planning meals & snacks on my own. I have a feeling this is my key to weight loss success! Had to share this find for anyone else interested in meal prep & needs help with their portion control. The only downside to this app, for me, is that it measures by ounces instead of teaspoons, tablespoons, & cups, so I have to look up the conversions every time bc I don’t want to weigh things. So far, that is the only thing I don’t like about the app... They’ve really thought of everything - they even have step by step instructions to scroll through as you make the recipe... Sorry such a long post, but I’m blown away by this app!! 😊

Life is easy with this app

Love it. Been planning on making an app to split up food between two users different calorie requirements but it's been done for me 👌only thing I need now is more variety and more recipes as well as being able to download the app on my partner's device on a different Apple ID and not pay for a second subscription and link the accounts so we both have access to plan our week and have a shared shopping list

Not bad so far, some downsides

I’m still in my trial week and am not 100% sold on purchasing this app yet. Mainly because of the following:
1. When customizing meals (I.e. swapping out certain days for new choices rather than having the same meal all week), it appears the grocery list isn’t updating automatically. As a result it was a pain to go back in and correct my shopping list once I noticed.
2. In the spirit of not eating the same meal each day/night, I was expecting the app to present “swap” meal options that would be comparable in carbs / macros to the original meal; however It appears this isn’t happening so I can’t tell how much I’m going over / under unless I manually calculate it.
3. I don’t see where my macros goals / actual numbers live - it would be helpful to have a meal plan tailored to my macros goals and only see food options / swap out options that fit within my daily macros.
4. I don’t see a dairy free preference option and a lot of the recipes have dairy (I’m dairy intolerant).

I do like that you can add your own recipe; however you have to manually enter in the macro info. I find myself having to cross reference other apps that do have this info I order to actually enter it into this one.

I like the overall concept of this app but not certain it’s worth the money just yet.

Very easy to use

The ease of use is awesome, then the meals are delicious, then it is all customisable! Best app ever!

Response from developer

That's great to hear - thank you so much for adding your review :-)

Love it!!

Coming from a big family I always struggled on how to portion and shop for one, this app is a life saver. It does all the hard work for me and the recipes are delicious! Things I never would've discovered or cooked for myself. I don't own a scale, and track my weight loss by measurements, and I've found that I've lost an inch in my waist and 3" in my hip (1 WEEK!!! ) AMAZING! my partner has a different with schedule than me, so I absolutely love the feature that allows you to select which meals your partner will be eating.
I've only had a few mishaps with the recipes (zucchini cakes, I'm looking at you. It wasn't portioned right between the dry ingredients and the liquids). However, still delicious.
I've recommendation I would give to the developers is to adjust the shopping list to show how the ingredients are used (such as chopped almonds instead of just almonds, or specifying a variety of colors of bell peppers, as suggested in the recipe, instead of just "bell pepper"). Other than that, I can't give this app enough stars or thanks!
