Love, but......
On my phone iPhone8 it keeps crashing loads then my phone exits. Please fix can’t use if It crashes.
Pretty but some limitations on functions causing frustrations
Starting to use this app for meal planning
Initially buy function was working - not crashing out of app when touch the “buy” tab. Very frustrating. Have spent many hours trying to set up meal planning with the app, think I might now abandon it.
Attractive interface but some practical limitations that the developers might be able to look at:
- don’t seem to be able to share my entries or plans with my partner which significantly limits the usefulness of the app
- Should be able to enter more than 3 “meals” a day; veggies take one entry, desserts another, this doesn’t allow for planning to make bulk meals on weekends.
- Recipes should be crowd sourced. They are time consuming to enter, if I knew that I was contributing to others and benefiting from theirs that would be a sweetener on the time. Developers could have a review function without taking responsibility for the recipes.
- Should have an option between the images of the recipes and a list. The pictures are good if you are browsing but if there are a lot of recipes it’s tedious to scroll to find the one you want without using the search function.
- cost function on the shopping list would be a fantastic further development, as would the ability to import the shopping list into an online supermarket shop.
- should be able to print the shopping list directly from the app without emailing it

Great app - but needs a few updates
I really enjoy this app and have really only just started using it. It’s already saved me time and money. But i was wondering if this app will be able to sync across my devices soon? It syncs some of my meals in my planner across but not all...like the recipes I entered myself on my iPad doesn’t go across to my iPhone. The ability for the shopping list to sync across would be great too - I know I can share it, but syncing happens without thinking. Once the app 100% syncs across it would be wonderful and even more user friendly

Best app ever!
Family of 6 with boyfriends constantly over for lunch and dinners....PlanBuyCook has saved us time money and effort. The app is intuitive, functional and effortless. A must for anyone who wants to reduce food waste save time and money. Jen and Gabby have done a brilliant job!!!
Needs improvement
I’m a big fan of the app and so far it’s saved me a lot of time and money.
Although the bugs seriously need to be fixed! The app crashes all the time and once your phone locks you lose the recipe that you were on and have to load it up again.
At the moment I can even access the app because it’s crashing.
I was planning on making Meatballs for dinner and now that plan is completely scrapped.

Really helpful
Love the recipes on this app. They are simple no-fuss recipes for everyday cooks at home like me. Also the way the app guides me to use my freezer as part and parcel of my menu planning is a real plus.
Frustrating
My meals don’t stay saved in the planner section, but the grocery list does, so when I put the meals back in my grocery list doubles!! Gave up on having the meals in the planner...so it’s become useless because I’ve just had to go back to doing it by hand. Great idea...would be better if it worked.
We love it
I have used it for a few months and think the shopping list is my favourite feature. I got some tips off the website as well.
Great app
We got this for the scaling feature for our large family and being able to send the compiled shopping list. The fact we like a whole bunch of the recipes is a real bonus, it is our kind of food. We are more organised are eating better. For the price of a Schooner or beer - well worth it.
Mr
This app gives me a great variety of meals so I dont need to put all my energy into thinking what meal is next. I can plan the weeks meals and shop once at the start of the week. I like how all the ingredients for the week's plan is converted into a list and how it calculates quanities needed. Love it for the convienience and would recommend this to any busy dad cooking for the family with very little time.
