Don’t bother
Response from developer
We're sorry to hear that you’re having a bad experience with our app. Your feedback is important to us and has been noted. In the meantime, I want to clarify that the app does have a free trial with MONTHLY subscription. So check that out if you want free access for 7 days to check the app out and see if you like it. The annual plan does not have a free trial. Consider changing your review since its inaccurate. Thank you.
In app purchases
Response from developer
Hi Vicky, Thanks for the review, but please consider changing it. It's false. We offer a free trial with the monthly meal plan subscription. You don't have to pay ANYTHING at all unless you continue with the app AFTER the free 7 day trial. If you cancel BEFORE the free 7 days is up for any reason, you will not be charged. You get full access to everything in the app for free, for 7 days. Email me for questions regarding this and please change your rating, it's unfair since it's untrue. Thanks - my email: Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com
Not For iPad

Thank you for your feedback, we will take that into consideration with a future update.
It’s great, but
Response from developer
Hello, thank you for your feedback. We try to stay in a range comparable to our competitors, and that's where we're at. We also are releasing an update soon with a new annual option that is significantly cheaper - $29.99/year vs $9.99/mo. Contact Apple Support about your billing and payment if you decide to change to that in the future when we release the update. I am thinking a week or 2 and it will be out. Thanks!
App issues
Response from developer
Hmm, I see what you might be saying but we do mention the price in the appstore description, so we are upfront and honest about it before you even download the app. If you're having trouble getting access to the app, this is an appstore issue, I can help you out if you contact me by email (Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com) - forward me the receipt that Apple sent you and that way I will have a better chance of helping you. Thanks! Email me!!
Change to a paid app in the App Store
Response from developer
Hi, please understand that the free trial gives you full access to everything in the app. That's why we provide that before you're charged a dime. You can decide during the free week if the app is a good or bad fit for you and then cancel anytime before the trial is over in your Appstore Settings to avoid being charged. If you have more questions, email me anytime! Please consider changing your review since we do not say the app is free, we clearly mention the price in the appstore description. Thank you!
I don’t appreciate the tactics
Response from developer
Hi morgang48 - sorry you feel that way about our app. We put a lot of hard work into design and development for this app, that's why we charge for it. We also create a new balanced meal plan each week. Too much work to give away for free. Because we are transparent in the appstore description about this, we think we deserve a better rating than this. Thanks for your time.
Several Non-vegetarian recipes
I looked for a way to contact the developer from the app, but couldn’t find it, so I’m leaving this review, hoping this issue gets addressed
Response from developer
Hello - I am unsure where you're seeing recipes with meat in them, this is completely untrue, could you please email me (maybe send screenshots): Kelly@HealthyHappySmart.com Thanks.
Immediately uninstalled
I gave them my name, email, body weight, and age, and was ready to look at some recipes. I was suddenly hit with a “Try free for a week!” button and had access to nothing. If it costs anything to use the app, just make it up front and charge to download the app. Please don’t make me go through the process of putting in all my information to find out it’s not free.
I understand app developers need to make money, but please don’t do it this way. Make premium features/recipes or something.

Hello Christiann96 - thanks for reaching out. We do put a lot of hard work into design and development for this app, that's why we charge for it. It's also not just a recipe app but a meal plan app, with NEW balanced meal plans each week that I have to create. Too much work to give away for free. Because we are transparent in the appstore description about the price, we think we deserve a better rating than this. By the way, we've tried other payment strategies and this one works the best for us. Thanks for your time.
