Life saver!!!
I love using this app. It makes meal planning and shopping so much more enjoyable.
Not
It is not connecting right with the Walmart app. I added everything and it’s not showing on the Walmart app on my account- and then I went back in through emeals and my whole list was gone.
Helpful and Happy
Saves me time, money and energy
Not worth it. Additional year charged without notification.
Not worth the price. A free AI meal plan is much more personalized and useful.
Saves me time and brain power
I really love this app. I always end up tweaking the recipes, but that’s what I do with any recipe. I love the interface with my grocery store, and my favorite feature is being able to add my own recipes (manually or from the web) and then save them to be able to easily make a grocery list.
My only complaint- I really wish there was an interface for Mac or website I could use. I try to reduce my phone use and it’s annoying that emeals MUST be used on the app.

Dinner is so easy now!
We love this app. It makes meal planning a breeze. The recipes are simple and easy. So original and some I would have never even thought of making had I not seen it on the app.
Works but Nonstandard Subscription Terms
The app and overall meal planning process does work. It allows planning meals of your dietary choice and integrated shopping orders. The gotcha is that they do NOT offer ANY refunds on subscriptions prorated or otherwise as do the majority of vendors I have worked with. The cancellation process is a convoluted, many click process that could be one button in my opinion. Beware of this.

My family and I enjoy the meals that come through weekly. I really like the way it is all set up and so easy to navigate. Also love how it creates a shopping list. Yes I would recommend to friends and family
The best meal planner
Been using eMeals for 6 years now! As a family of 7, it takes the stress out of meal planning and shopping! I love it!
Bugs need to be fixed but otherwise well worth the money
This has saved our family’s dinner/grocery situation. I recommend it to everyone.
Great service!
This is such a great resource for recipes that you don’t have to think about. And being able to send the list to the store is great. I do wish you could choose to add the side dish or not. I don’t always want the side and have to remember to remove those ingredients from the list. Overall this is a wonderful app!

Time saving! Great value!
I’ve been using eMeals for the over a decade. It saves me time, stress, and money!
I have been using it for years
I started using emails around the pandemic and I have come back a total of three times already love using the service
Member for over 10 years - love it!
I’ve been using eMeals for over a decade and love being able to put together a weekly meal plan with very little brain power. It saves me so much heartache!
Scammy
If I could give no stars I would. Besides not being transparent about pricing, they don’t really offer any value. Also after not being transparent about pricing they will charge you and refuse to give refunds on paid subscriptions even though I’ve canceled and I’m no longer using their “service.” Extremely disappointed. They definitely need to be more transparent with pricing and actually offer more for $60/month.

Recipes
I’ve enjoyed using this app for years. I hope the update fixes the problems I’ve been experiencing. Saved recipes are duplicating and if not careful end up buying double of what I need and then disappearing after I’ve shopped and before I can make the recipe
HEB Integration broken
I love the convenience of emeals, it saves me from eating out so much! My only complaints are 1) they used to show calorie/nutrition info for all recipes and now it seems like only some of them have it. 2) my biggest complaint is that the HEB integration in the app isn’t working. I can use Instacart, but I prefer to order for pickup and I currently can’t do that

Love the idea, but the execution is awful
I did a free trial a while ago, but didn’t actually use the app or test any recipes. This week I decided to try using the app again and actually meal plan and prepare the meals, and I noticed several things.
1. I wish the app had an option to continue on a monthly basis instead of choosing 3 months or a year. I unfortunately am cancelling my membership primarily for this reason.
2. The AI doesn’t do a very good job creating lists from the recipes. It was really annoying to have to do the work of ensuring that the grocery items and their respective amounts actually line of with the recipes. From what I understand, that was supposed to be the whole point. But I wound up having to go through the list and manually make several changes. I really feel that I shouldn’t have to edit the grocery list so drastically. Also the fact that it includes recommended wine pairings in the grocery list is an obvious and obnoxious upsell.
3. The recipes don’t offer metric measurements, even though the ingredient list largely goes off of oz. Some of us still prefer to use and kitchen scale in the US, especially when making lists so we know we have the proper ingredient amounts.
4z for some reason when I chose my plan, it charged me twice: once for a yearly plan and once for a 3-month plan. I am still trying to figure out how to get refunded.
5. Some recipes available for 2 people are not available in the family size. It’s fine, but I have to do the math of doubling the recipes myself. Many recipes online allow you to customize based off of how many servings you want.
6. There isn’t a search function on the main page, which makes it hard to look for recipes you haven’t already saved.
7. I did the math on meal just for our lunch and dinner, and if I were to do a full week of recipes it would make our grocery bill astronomical. I ended up doing three recipes each and we’re doubling those in order to not have to buy a gazillion different ingredients each week. This makes it a bit more practical and affordable. I really wish they’d put an approximate cost per meal at the top of each recipe.
Overall I loved the idea of this app. It sounded game changing. But it is fundamentally flawed. I’m better off getting a few recipes online and getting my groceries delivered off Walmart. A little extra work, but I’m finding myself working extra with the app regardless.

Can I give higher than a 10?
I think I’ve been using emails for well over 10 years. At this point, I don’t know what I’d do without it. It’s come a long way with the app and having the whole shopping list by aisle. I love the variety and the recipes have just enough of a twist to keep them interesting. My whole family loves it.

Good not great.
The recipes are good. The variety is good.
Makes dinner easy.
I don’t care for the strong Walmart delivery suggestions.
I don’t care for the wine pairing added to my shopping list each recipe.
Needs to be an option to change side dish or drop it all together.
