I love the app and what I’ve been able to do with it. It’s quite time consuming to set up scanning everything in your pantry. It could do better on a few areas. It takes so long for your receipts to come through that it thinks you don’t have the groceries sometimes until the produce is expired and when adding from the shopping list areas results in a duplication. The recipes could definitely be updated, it’s more limited then I’d like to see and having to create your own recipes regularly adds to the time consuming aspect of the app. Many of my store links expires frequently (like every few days) making me log back in. Even though I abbe several store accounts linked, it will only let me shop and give me options for 2 of them, which aren’t the store I shop most (Costco). The product substitution on recipes really needs work. Basically it sees any kind of fresh herb as a substitute for another which can get confusing when trying to use the “cook what I have” option when searching recipes. It gives me a lot of options for things I can’t make because it’s making unsuitable substitutions yet leaving a lot on the table with my available ingredients due to the limited recipes. All that, I still think it’s worth the $50/year or whatever. I love being able to make a meal plan that my family members can see and using ingredients that I have on hand.
