  • Make It Great

    I wish this app had an easy way to rearrange the meals. I would like to be able to just drag a meal to a new date. I can work around this but it would be nice.

    I like the app because you can choose which meals you want to shop for which is so convenient.
  • Best Meal Plan!

    This app is super helpful with meal planning, grocery shopping for beginner moms to busy families and everyone in between. The app lets you move things around easy delicious ideas with the shopping list! Must have- will save you time and money!
  • Love the service not the app

    This meal planning service is excellent and it’s worth it to deal with some of the bugs. The reason I’m rating it 3 stars is so hopefully the creators will see this and fix the issues. The main issue I’m having is that, when I want to swap out a meal, the app closes if I select any category except the “all” category. So if I want to look for a pork recipe and select the “pork” category the app will just close. This makes it difficult when I know I have pork to use up. Please fix this!!!
  • Great app

    Love this app and how organized it is and even tells you what ingredients you need for grocery shopping at the store game changer! Great meal ideas instead of the same old thing that I feel like I am always making!

  • Great Concept, but Needs Some Tweaks

    I really love the idea behind this app, and I am excited to see how it improves, but it definitely needs some improvements…

    - The grocery list feature would be so helpful, but I do not like how it lists the items multiple times if the same ingredient is needed for multiple recipes. Would be so much better and easier to tally up ingredients needed, if it combined the amounts across recipes. For example, if I need one onion for one recipe and half of an onion for another, my list would have one and half onions needed.

    - Grocery list does not allow you to delete items you already have, so list is long and jumbled, when it doesn’t need to be.

    - Grocery list does not save any changes you made to it, so if I took the time to cross off ingredients I already had, and then go back to it the next day, the app has reset and those items are no longer crossed off.

    - Some recipes are very basic, which has its advantages, but also lacks flavor and variety. Also, a lot of the recipes lean towards the healthy side, which is great, but I would like the option to choose some comfort foods or flavor filled options regardless of my diet, ya know 🤣

    Overall, a really exciting concept, but I will be waiting for an improved option to n the future. For now, the app “Paprika” is working for me.

    We seriously appreciate your support! That's a great idea to have items removed from the grocery list after you check them off. We also are going to add a category for "comfort food" so that way you can easily find those yummy recipes like our bacon pasta, chimichurri meatballs, german pancakes, or ham & swiss sliders. You'll love those recipes! So easy, fast, and super flavorful!
  • Looks like something I’d use

    This looks like something I would use, but there’s a few things that I’m missing to make me absolutely love this app. Currently, I don’t see a way to customize my profile to mark how many servings I’d prefer to be making.

    First issue I have.
    I have two adults 1 teen and 2 toddlers. That’s a technical five people but we only ever end up eating around 4 portions (5 if I want leftovers for my husband to take to work). For all of these recipes I haven’t seen a single portion count. How do I know this will make enough for my family?

    Second issue I have.
    These don’t look like complete meals. Are sides included with the recipes? It doesn’t look like it. I’m trying to make balanced meals for my family, and while these seem to be family friendly and fun, I still want a full balanced meal. When I meal plan without an app I can get the main dish figured out no problem, it’s the sides I struggle with. That’s what I’m looking for. Something to help me pair sides with the main meal.

    Third issue I have.
    I don’t see a place to pick dates that I don’t want meals on. There are some days I work during when my family eats dinner, so I don’t need a meal that day. Can I just ignore it on my shopping list? Sure, but that’s going to change my grocery day, cause it’s in the middle of the week. Can I make that day leftovers or eating out? Sure but why can’t I just delete the day?

    Fourth issue I have.
    While I know a lot of meal planners lack this, it’s still something I’d love to have. Can I add recipes to the app? I have family favorites that don’t get made often because I get stressed out and forget to plan them into my meal plans. Is there a way I can mark for a recipe outside of this app? Or even better, ADD the recipe??? I honestly don’t even care if other people use some of the recipes, because they’re good and I can’t find them anywhere else.

    Fifth issue I have.
    Allergies. I can’t pull out recipes that have allergins in them. Sure I can search through all the recipies and do the work of figuring out the substitutes, but isn’t that why I’m paying for an app? To help with reducing the stress for some of that? It’d be nice is there was a tagging system or something that would allow me to remove allergins from the recipies that popped up.

    I’m sure I have more items I’d love to see improved on this app, but these are my biggest complaints so far. I’ll be testing it out for the first month, and determine if I want to proceed with paying a monthly fee (seriously, no free trial?) I might end up going back to an old meal planner that I had good luck with, but it’d be awesome to see this one flourish.

    Thank you so much for all the feedback. I would love to help answer your questions. 1. On each recipe, on the right side of the screen, just under the recipe title, you will see the serving size. All our recipes serve 6-8 and are designed to offer leftovers to help save you time and money! 2. We love providing families with a balanced meal. We are currently working on incorporating the option to add in a second recipe for each day. In the time being, I think you will love our "Healthy Eater Note" and the suggested side dishes. 3. If you do not want to have a meal one day, go to the meal plan tab, tap the swap icon on the right side of the box, select the "Extras" category, and select which place holder you would like. Having a plan for those nights that you are not cooking is key to freeing up your brain space and saving money! Yay! 4. We are really excited about the option to add your own recipes! We are working hard to keep improving Eat Together and this option is coming soon! 5. This is an amazing idea! We will discuss it with our development team. Thank you again for your feedback and helping us make Eat Together the best meal planner app! If you have any other questions or suggestions, please send us an email brittany@oneunifiedhome.com

  • Very Few Recipes

    There is only a handful of recipes so you are eating the same thing over and over. I wish there was a lot more recipes for $10/month. There’s free apps that have 100s of recipes while this one only has ~60 recipes. I like the layout and design of the app, however I also feel like each week doesn’t use a lot of common ingredients either so that really racks up the grocery bill which sort of defeats the purpose of the app.

    Developer Response

    We are excited to announce that we are continually adding 5 new super fast and easy recipes for families every month! Our meal plans are designed so no recipe is repeated within a three month period. Woot woot! That means tons of variety in our meal plans! We would love to hear if about and recipe recommendations you would like us to add in upcoming months! Send us an email and we will get them added!
