Make It Great
I like the app because you can choose which meals you want to shop for which is so convenient.
Best Meal Plan!
Love the service not the app
Great app

Julia! Thank you so much! We are so happy that you are loving the meal plan help and our delicious recipes!
Great Concept, but Needs Some Tweaks
- The grocery list feature would be so helpful, but I do not like how it lists the items multiple times if the same ingredient is needed for multiple recipes. Would be so much better and easier to tally up ingredients needed, if it combined the amounts across recipes. For example, if I need one onion for one recipe and half of an onion for another, my list would have one and half onions needed.
- Grocery list does not allow you to delete items you already have, so list is long and jumbled, when it doesn’t need to be.
- Grocery list does not save any changes you made to it, so if I took the time to cross off ingredients I already had, and then go back to it the next day, the app has reset and those items are no longer crossed off.
- Some recipes are very basic, which has its advantages, but also lacks flavor and variety. Also, a lot of the recipes lean towards the healthy side, which is great, but I would like the option to choose some comfort foods or flavor filled options regardless of my diet, ya know 🤣
Overall, a really exciting concept, but I will be waiting for an improved option to n the future. For now, the app “Paprika” is working for me.

We seriously appreciate your support! That's a great idea to have items removed from the grocery list after you check them off. We also are going to add a category for "comfort food" so that way you can easily find those yummy recipes like our bacon pasta, chimichurri meatballs, german pancakes, or ham & swiss sliders. You'll love those recipes! So easy, fast, and super flavorful!
Looks like something I’d use
First issue I have.
I have two adults 1 teen and 2 toddlers. That’s a technical five people but we only ever end up eating around 4 portions (5 if I want leftovers for my husband to take to work). For all of these recipes I haven’t seen a single portion count. How do I know this will make enough for my family?
Second issue I have.
These don’t look like complete meals. Are sides included with the recipes? It doesn’t look like it. I’m trying to make balanced meals for my family, and while these seem to be family friendly and fun, I still want a full balanced meal. When I meal plan without an app I can get the main dish figured out no problem, it’s the sides I struggle with. That’s what I’m looking for. Something to help me pair sides with the main meal.
Third issue I have.
I don’t see a place to pick dates that I don’t want meals on. There are some days I work during when my family eats dinner, so I don’t need a meal that day. Can I just ignore it on my shopping list? Sure, but that’s going to change my grocery day, cause it’s in the middle of the week. Can I make that day leftovers or eating out? Sure but why can’t I just delete the day?
Fourth issue I have.
While I know a lot of meal planners lack this, it’s still something I’d love to have. Can I add recipes to the app? I have family favorites that don’t get made often because I get stressed out and forget to plan them into my meal plans. Is there a way I can mark for a recipe outside of this app? Or even better, ADD the recipe??? I honestly don’t even care if other people use some of the recipes, because they’re good and I can’t find them anywhere else.
Fifth issue I have.
Allergies. I can’t pull out recipes that have allergins in them. Sure I can search through all the recipies and do the work of figuring out the substitutes, but isn’t that why I’m paying for an app? To help with reducing the stress for some of that? It’d be nice is there was a tagging system or something that would allow me to remove allergins from the recipies that popped up.
I’m sure I have more items I’d love to see improved on this app, but these are my biggest complaints so far. I’ll be testing it out for the first month, and determine if I want to proceed with paying a monthly fee (seriously, no free trial?) I might end up going back to an old meal planner that I had good luck with, but it’d be awesome to see this one flourish.

Thank you so much for all the feedback. I would love to help answer your questions. 1. On each recipe, on the right side of the screen, just under the recipe title, you will see the serving size. All our recipes serve 6-8 and are designed to offer leftovers to help save you time and money! 2. We love providing families with a balanced meal. We are currently working on incorporating the option to add in a second recipe for each day. In the time being, I think you will love our "Healthy Eater Note" and the suggested side dishes. 3. If you do not want to have a meal one day, go to the meal plan tab, tap the swap icon on the right side of the box, select the "Extras" category, and select which place holder you would like. Having a plan for those nights that you are not cooking is key to freeing up your brain space and saving money! Yay! 4. We are really excited about the option to add your own recipes! We are working hard to keep improving Eat Together and this option is coming soon! 5. This is an amazing idea! We will discuss it with our development team. Thank you again for your feedback and helping us make Eat Together the best meal planner app! If you have any other questions or suggestions, please send us an email brittany@oneunifiedhome.com
Meal Planning Made Easy
The Eat Together App, has been a great tool. I’ve been using it for a week and really enjoy not needing to think to much about what to make for dinner and how easy it makes my monthly shopping! I also really enjoy how easy it is to switch meals around, and remove meals that aren’t your families favourites!
I also needed to work with their customer service team (Brittany was the one who responded) and it was a great over all experience, where my issue was resolved in a timely manor!
Best app for meal planning!

Very Few Recipes
Response from developer
We are excited to announce that we are continually adding 5 new super fast and easy recipes for families every month! Our meal plans are designed so no recipe is repeated within a three month period. Woot woot! That means tons of variety in our meal plans! We would love to hear if about and recipe recommendations you would like us to add in upcoming months! Send us an email and we will get them added!
So easy to use!
Response from developer
Yes!! We are so happy that you are using it and customizing to what works best for your family! We do all the hard work to help you save time and save money!
Time Saver & YUMMY
I REALLY do LOVE this app 😁💕
Meh
Response from developer
We have noted the request for printing recipes and nutritional information. Great ideas! As for saving recipes, every recipe has a heart button that you can click and will save to your favorites. On the meal planning screen, to the right of each recipe is an arrow, when you click that you can swap with any recipe. You will be automatically brought to the favorites tab, but you will see other categories to search from and access all recipes. Also on the meal planning tab, there is a pull down option so you can see monthly view. That is where you can go to look back at what recipes you had planned in the past. I hope this helps! Any other questions please send us an email at oneunifiedhome@gmail.com and we are more than happy to help!
Good review
This works for Dads too!
It literally worked! It wasn’t hard it was actually easy. Yes, EASY! I was able to follow the directions, make food my kids ate and with out making a completely different dinner, food my wife and I ate and enjoyed also!
The app is easy to use, the food is easy to make, it tastes delicious, fills us up and made the evening a lot more enjoyable.
From a Dad/man/rookie perspective, it worked!
