Links to info, like privacy policy, are broken. Meal plan is very low calorie and is skipping some meals! Not at all for DASH blood pressure diet. ### 2/5 — Serving Sizes / Calories Incorrect *2023-05-06, version 2.1* Good ideas for meal planning but there is no accurate reporting of calorie count and serving sizes seem to be just plain made up. Cannot connect with help link to ask so I’ll move on after my five day free trial which, by the way, I was charged $4.99 for! ### 5/5 — Nice *2022-09-04, version 2.1* This app has helped me set the goals I’ve been trying to make for years—and in one day! I’m a huge leap forward in my health and fitness journey. A calorie deficit works magic!? ### 5/5 — Effective *2022-09-03, version 2.1* I barely had to do any math, I scan a barcode & it shows all the math… I simply scan everything & it’s all there ### 5/5 — Lose weight here *2022-09-03, version 2.1* Easy to use & to track macros. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Lose weight here *2022-09-03, version 2.1* Easy to use & to track macros. Highly recommended ### 4/5 — Would like to use this app, but… *2022-08-13* This looks like a great meal prep app with lots of awesome recipes but are there any plans to add more information- I.e. macro percentages? I already pay for an app that calculates my macros, offers me a weekly meal plan with a shopping list and has all of the macro percentage data and calories in the plan. I have no problem monetarily supporting devs but I would need more data offered before I would invest in this one. Thank you very much. ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-06-29, version 2.1* One must be praised! ### 5/5 — Great *2022-06-22, version 2.1* It's over, I'm already in love with it, hahaha. ### 5/5 — Good *2022-06-14, version 2.1* Very functional! ### 5/5 — Useful *2022-06-14, version 2.1* Give the customer service a thumbs up! ### 5/5 — I love it *2022-04-12* This cookapp contains some really tasty recipes that are suitable for meal prep and beyond. I was very pleased to find so many recipes that are flavorful. That's been the most challenging element of cooking healthy, low-fat, low-sodium meals- the flavor. This is a great resource for those new to "meal prepping," as well. Nice photos, and most of the recipes contain ingredients that are common and easy to find. Very helpful resource! ### 5/5 — Like this app *2022-04-12, version 2.1* This app is great for people like me who didn't really know about the D.A.S.H diet. It explain its concepts and really helps you learn how to find healthier eating options. Another thing that I liked is that it introduces you to meal prep.The first meal plans are designed so that you learn how to meal prep, hence the repetition in dishes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t access without paid subscription *2024-03-22* Sure the download of the app is free but that’s where it stops. You can choose to not have a subscription but you can’t see any of the recipes (when you click on it, it brings up the subscription sign-up) and there are no options to track nutritional values of foods/recipes, food groups, etc. Such a scam to say it’s free but then force the subscription for access. Just make it cost money upfront so people don’t bother with it! ### 1/5 — Free trial *2023-09-23, version 2.1* I have looked everywhere on this App and see no means to track meals. And who has time to make all of these fancy meal recipes? I must be missing something. ### 1/5 — Not “in app purchases”. *2023-09-16, version 2.1* This is not “in app purchases” but an actual paid app to the tune of $20/month at the lower level. ### 1/5 — Beware not a free trial *2023-07-29, version 2.1* I downloaded this app and clicked the free trial button. It is not what I’m looking for, but I was charged $4.99 anyway. ### 1/5 — Not what was advertised *2023-07-25, version 2.1* All I see is recipes. No shopping list. I made the mistake of buying a year because of the preview and I want to cancel. How do I do that???? ### 1/5 — Charged just to try app *2022-08-24, version 2.1* You cannot do a free trial. Immediately you must pay, without even knowing how the app works or if it will work for you. Deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Impractical App *2022-04-14* The recipes look good but not at all suitable for one or two people to use. Perhaps it’s good for a family of six. So, I spent $6.00 CDN to discover this. Definitely a rip off. But for the price I can warn potential subscribers to beware. Buy a book or a different app. This one is poorly planned and not worth your time or money. ### 1/5 — Scammed *2021-08-08, version 2.1* When I signed up for a free one-week trial, my card was instantaneously charged. Feeling scammed. They lied from the beginning which doesn’t give me much trust with the app. No way to reach them to get a refund or discuss the matter. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2021-07-30, version 2.1* I don’t like this app. Cobb salad, chocolate pudding, asparagus and horseradish labeled breakfast….really? Also, it said free trial and there wasn’t one. I canceled like within 30 minutes of downloading the app after seeing the breakfast menu and I got charged for the week. Save your $5. ### 1/5 — Would give zero stars *2020-01-30, version 1.3* If zero stars were an option, I would give this app zero. It offers me only four options, and the more ridiculous part, they are over 700 miles from me! 🤷🏻‍♀️ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-06-29, version 2.1* It's reliable to use. You can try it ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-04-27* I had no idea my family was alusey doing the Dash diet all of these years. This way of eating has helped me keep 80 pounds off for almost 20 years. This app is a great addition to my cookapp collection. It is a common sense way of eating- taking healthy ingredients and keeping them interesting and familiar enough so that it isn't too scary. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-04-25* This app tries to make Dash meal planning and preparing simple. There are six sets of meals for five days that you prepare on the weekend. You get the shopping list which has everything you need including pans and meal savers. And, you get the recipes which look very reasonable with decent serving sizes. ### 5/5 — Cool app *2023-04-21* My teen and I are doing the Dash diet together due to hypertension. This cookapp is laid out so nicely to be able to plan easily. There have been things we didn't care for, not because the recipe was bad but just certain ingredients we don't love. We have been able to easily swap those out for things we prefer. I like how easy it is to follow the meal plans and ingredient lists. If you are doing the DASH diet, highly recommend this cookapp. ### 5/5 — Best *2023-04-18* This app is a game changer! Both my husband and I work and we have two young kids, so meal planning and trying to eat healthy is difficult for us. This app takes off all the pressure. It lays out weekly mean plans with recipes to cover breakfast, lunch and dinner. The meal plans are simple and easy to follow, providing a grocery list covering everything you'll need as well as a step by step guide on how to meal prep for the week. ### 5/5 — I love this *2022-09-09, version 2.1* New to the app but my partner has been using it for months and now i see why. This app really helps you to maintain track of how much calories you take in while tracking the calories burned from working out. What i love about it ia the ability to scan the packages of your food and simply entering in how many servings you’ve had. Totally worth it!! ### 5/5 — Lose weight here *2022-09-09, version 2.1* I absolutely love this app ### 5/5 — Effective *2022-09-09, version 2.1* Makes everything so much easier to track ### 5/5 — Lose weight here *2022-09-08, version 2.1* Easy to use and makes you really pay attention to what you are doing. ### 5/5 — Well *2022-09-08, version 2.1* I have used for years. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
