The customization features have been so helpful and save lots of time. ### 5/5 — All in one meal planning app *2025-07-13* Cooking is a chore for me. It falls to me to decide what to fix for every meal, shop and get it on the table. I want quick and easy ideas. A friend told me about this app and all that it does which sounded too good to believe. This review is already too long when I all I want to say is explore it for 5 minutes. Do it if you hate cooking or love it. It's very cool. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review, Audra.

And be on the lookout - we are adding dozens of new recipes monthly! ### 5/5 — Blown away! *2025-07-03* Love the update! The cooking and quick skills videos are so helpful. I love the beautiful images and the way I can curate my own meal plans. I could go on and on! But what really stuck out was the ability for me to pull in all the social media recipes from different platforms. Now I have them all in one place. Brilliant!! ### 5/5 — Something I can’t find anywhere else *2025-06-19* I am a huge fan of this app, it finally allows me to take all my recipes from across all platforms, put them in one place, customize them into my own meal plan, AND with a click of a button send my grocery list to Walmart for pickup!! One stop shop, it also suggests new recipes, has a cool explore page with cooking videos, and is just so much fun to use. Definitely recommend a download. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We love hearing that users are connecting to their favorite grocery stores. ### 5/5 — New version of app is truly a game-changer! *2025-06-19* A Better Meal rolled out a completely updated version! Loving it! Still the awesome recipe importing as in my original review (below) but now there is also cooking lessons, inspo videos, great recipe photos and a section called “my stuff” where I can quickly find all my saved recipes, collections and videos! Thanks for the update! Original review from Jan 2025: Not only is this a meal planning app, but it’s a game-changer for saving and then USING recipes! I love being able to import recipes from Instagram, my favorite blogs, and even taking pictures of pages from my cookbooks - and storing them all in one place. It’s then easy to add ingredients to a grocery list, send the list to online shopping and even add these recipes to my meal plan! Highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. We are glad you like the recipe importing feature. We are excited about how users are actively importing their favorite recioes and then using those recipes in meal plans and grocery lists too! ### 5/5 — Fresh. Creative.

For instance, today is Sunday. With football on tv I wanted to note on my calendar hotdogs and cheeseburgers.. There’s no way to add your own. I don’t like this ap at all. **Developer response:** Thank you for trying our app! If you click on the circled + icon at the top right of the Explore screen, you can add recipes by browsing the internet and importing, manually add recipes, and import from a photo of a recipe card. We are constantly working to improve our app - releasing multiple updates every month. We hope you will give us another chance. ### 2/5 — Insta important doesn’t work well *2025-11-07* So I tried this app for a few days. It has a lot of problems trying to import from Instagram. I tried three times and it wasn’t able to import Instagram recipes that had a very detailed caption instructions. Today it was able to do it but it missed a few ingredients. This really only works if you want to store recipes that are in text format on the Internet Too bad I had high hopes for this. **Developer response:** Hi there. I'm sorry you had this experience. We had a bug which has since been corrected. Please contact hello@abettermeal.com. I'd love the opportunity to reset your 7 day free trial so you can give us a second chance! ### 5/5 — So easy! *2026-08-19* I absolutely love this app!
