### 1/5 — Started great, turned into a complete mess

*2026-08-10, version 3.61.3*

This was great for a while but has turned HORRIBLE - food does not arrive, no communication, or arrives spoiled and late. Would not recommend.

### 4/5 — Some non food related issues

*2026-07-20*

I’ve been using Dinnerly for several years now and I’m quite happy with the food quality and choices. I was going to give this a 3 star review based on secondary issues, but I felt the food plan alone deserved the 4 stars.

 OnTrac is not a very good delivery service. Delivery instructions on file and printed on the label say “deliver to back door”, which is in the shade. They continue to leave the box on the front porch, directly in the afternoon sun. The porch is elevated with 5 steps, I’ve caught a few drivers on camera standing below and simply tossing the box onto the porch, splitting the box open and occasionally damaging the contents.

App issue. I use this app on my iPad, and read cooking instructions from the iPad when cooking. The latest update stops the app screen from auto rotating. The ingredients screen never rotated, portrait only, which I’m fine with, but the screen would rotate when you hit the start cooking button so I could rotate the screen to horizontal and lean it against the wall behind my cutting board. Now it stays in portrait, which means if I try to lean it against the wall or set it upright it’s sitting on the charging cable coming out of the iPad. Now I have to sit it flat on the counter so I don’t damage the charging cable and it’s taking up space needed for cooking. Could you please update the app and bring back auto rotate.

Thank you.

### 1/5 — Great for vegetarians, but cancelled

*2026-07-16, version 3.61.3*

The number of tasty vegetarian recipes is surprising and really great. Unfortunately Dinnerly has been on a downward trend for awhile in terms of on-time delivery and supplying the correct ingredients. I’ve since cancelled my subscription

### 1/5 — No good for diabetics.

*2026-06-09*

My family has happily used this app for years now. But now it’s no good to good for us. Because my Son and my Wife are type 1 diabetic it was very useful to have the carbohydrates (per 100g) displayed in the nutritional information. This way regardless of the portion size we could easily calculate their required insulin by simply weighing their portion. 
Now the information provided had emitted the carbohydrates per 100g amount, it’s much more complicated to work out insulin doses. Since this is an everyday part of our life’s, that’s enough motivation for us to look for another supplier. 
Is there any chance you can add this information back into the app? 
Regards 
Lance.

### 2/5 — App useless

*2026-06-07, version 3.58.1*

As a first time user, I’ve found the app quite frustrating. It continually times out, spends a lot of time loading, and can be difficult to navigate. Simple tasks take Longer than they should because of the apps issues. I’m hoping the recipes and meals are better than the app experiences so far, as the ordering experience hasn’t made a good first impression.

### 5/5 — Great for vegetarians

*2026-06-02, version 3.58.1*

The number of tasty vegetarian recipes is surprising and really great. My delivery is usually on time and they rarely forget an ingredient, however ingredients don’t always last till the end of the week so if you’re ordering 4 meals a week like I am, don’t wait till Sunday to make the last one. 

The app is a little bare-bones and hasn’t really improved in years (if anything it’s gotten a bit worse). Pictures for each step would be a very welcome addition. Also, the meal prep almost always takes longer than the app predicts. But generally bug/useability fixes would go a long way.

All that said, Dinnerly is great, give it a try!

### 1/5 — Nutritional info

*2026-05-30, version 3.58.1*

Bring back the per 100g in the nutritional info. Dinnerly is supposed to make my life easier and now it’s harder

### 5/5 — Great for vegetarians

*2026-04-09, version 3.57.2*

The number of tasty vegetarian recipes is surprising and really great. My delivery is usually on time and they rarely forget an ingredient, however ingredients don’t always last till the end of the week so if you’re ordering 4 meals a week like I am, don’t wait till Sunday to make the last one. 

The app is a little bare-bones. Pictures for each step would be very welcome. Also, the meal prep almost always takes longer than the app predicts. There’s also a few UI choice I wouldn’t have made.

All that said, Dinnerly is great, give it a try!

### 1/5 — Horrible Meal Kits

*2026-03-27, version 3.57.2*

I’ve tried for 3 weeks and each week at least 2-3 meals in my 4 meal plan were wrong

They don’t send the orders you pick and ingredients are always missing

### 1/5 — Where did it go wrong?

*2026-03-13*

Everything has gone downhill over the last 12 months. Price increases on basic meals, lack of variety amongst anything that wasn’t an extra cost. They have a platform to rate the delivery - no matter how many times you say a product is missing or wasn’t delivered properly they never contact you about that feedback. Now they’re hiding all the prices outside of their marketplace. So you don’t realise you’ve added a meal that cost extra per serving until you get to the cart. No way to filter these meals in and out or sort by pricing. They’re counting on customers to not look or to not be bothered to go back and pick something else. Poor form, does not pass the pub test.
