### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-07-02*

This is a terrible app, does nothing that is advertised, the generate recipe function will generate the same recipe over and over again. The pantry function is useless. Please do not waste your money. Itd be better to budget on your own.

### 5/5 — Seeing prices + macros is awesome

*2025-12-22*

It makes eating healthy so much easier when I see how little it actually costs. This is exactly the type of app I needed!!
