Could do with more work

This app has potential but it needs more work and bug fixes. I would like to see it sync over a cloud so you can share the receipts over multiple devices. Inputting recipes should be a lot easier, at the moment the choosing an ingredient on the iPad app is frustrating, plus for some reason as I’m entering the method the lettering comes up bold when I didn’t request it to be, infact it doesn’t give you that option so it stumps me at how it does. I would like to see importing a recipe from a pdf (for example). Felt a little ripped of that you pay money for about 15 recipes, I get more from free apps. This needs a lot of work if you want to people to pay for it.

Response from developer

Thanks for your review. We are always looking to improve our app. You can share your own recipes between iOS devices via AirDrop. There are 130 recipes on the app from a variety of cuisines that can be scaled to match your household size from 1 to 10 serves, and any recipes you add can also be scaled.

Would love it if it stopped crashing out

Our selection on meals has been limited only because if I don’t pick one of the first few recipes the app crashes out- the meals so far that we have randomly selected created shopping list have been great. I would be over the moon if something could be done about the crashing out because the potential is amazing.

Thanks for your feedback. An update to the app went live this morning, so please download it and see if you are still having an issue.

Needs more work

It’s missing steps in methods like when to freeze freezable meals. Has no nutritional information on recipes and a lot of the recipes are not healthy at all. Don’t waste money there are free apps or websites that can do your shopping list for you.

Life changing!

This is the app I've been waiting for and it was worth it. The chore of meal planning is now so simple and streamlined. Getting my shopping list on my phone is fantastic. I've never felt so organised. The recipes are delicious and a real hit with my family. It's a winner.

Amazing app!

Beautiful display, easy to use...just love it! The only reason I took off one star is that it really should allow to list recipes as breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack in the menu planning section.

Disappointing

Doesn't work. Even after reading the tutorial I couldn't get the app to work. How difficult can it be to drag and drop a recipe. The app I downloaded didn't do or look like any of the things shown in the photos of this app. The thing that worked was I could get a recipe when clicking a photo. Had high hopes. Good premise, but could not get it to work.

Fail

Does not sync between iPhone and iPad. E-mail shopping list option broken. Wasted my money.

Looks good but poorly thought out user experience...

I wanted to like this app. But after a frustrating 45mins trying to wrestle a plan into the app I gave up.

Limited recipes bundled (which is fine) but getting a recipe into the app is a frustrating experience.

Swapping meal position through the day (moving lunch to dinner) is not supported. The work around is: delete the day and start again.

Duplicating or repeating a day is not supported.

Avoid...

Started well but ...

Meals keep jumping a day when changing between dishes and/or adding your own recipe. Finding it very frustrating after redoing two weeks of planning twice. Supposed to help save you time not creat more work

Ms.

This app is not worth $5.00! It crashes! You can't add your own recipes without it shutting down. I want my money back! What a rip off!
