Almost perfect for meal planning
- no option to print out the recipe list/recipe instructions; this was extremely useful with Mealime.
- unable to add multiple recipes to the grocery list at the same time?
- the app seems to think everyone wants a daily recipe to be different. I prefer to minimize cooking time by cooking 2 days worth at once. It would be nice to be able to inform the app of this pattern rather than having to do it manually by skipping and checking the servings.
- The app also will randomly mix 4 and 6 serving recipes.
- UPDATE: it gets even worse for meal planning as you progress through the week. It straight up hides recipes according to the calendar, so if you miss a day then you’ll have reverse engineer what your meal plan was through the grocery list. What’s the point of the “I’ve cooked this” button if it just hides your “cooked” recipes regardless?
Conclusion: if you love having a different recipe every single day and you’re absolutely glued to your phone at all times, this app is perfect for you.
If you’re a busy person trying to save time spent on meal planning with a “set it and forget it” workflow in mind, look elsewhere, as this app was not made for you.

Thank you for taking time to write this up. You make a number of good points - some are new, some are items we've been working on and some of them are obviously not apparent that they are available. You can print the grocery list but I hadn't thought about printing out the recipes. If you organize your meals into a meal plan, you can use the grocery cart with a + sign in the top right of the meal plan page to ad groceries for today, for the next 3 days or for the next 6 days. We are also working on the whole history issue and when to role off recipes from the plan - keep the seven days or always show the next 7 days. Again, thanks for this input.
So easy!
