I now plan out each breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner a week in advance. It’s easily saved us hundreds in groceries. I cannot say enough good things about this app. If you are looking for a meal plan app. get this one! **Developer response:** Thanks for the nice review! ### 3/5 — Handy but needs work *2024-07-07* I like this app but there are a few improvements that need making. Trying to create a recipe manually and if you enter quantity and measurement when you add the ingredient it works however if I try to do this afterwards it doesn’t let me 9/10 times and takes me back to the recipe. I’m cooking for one so if a recipe is for 4 there is no option to change to 1. Not an issue but this does impact the shopping list when I add leftovers into my plan or I have to manually edit the recipe. **Developer response:** Hello, and thanks for your feedback. I'll look into the quantities and measurement bug as soon as possible, and if I find something broken I'll fix it and issue a release. About adjusting the recipe portions, it's already on my radar, it'll be added in a future release. Thanks again! UPDATE: the bug that prevented from updating ingredient quantities on the iPad was fixed in 2.69.2 ### 1/5 — Not It! *2024-06-22* Not what our family was looking for and need to get rid of it before the trial ends. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for trying Menu Plan, it’d be great to get some feedback on what exactly you were looking for and what let you down. Cheers, Davide ### 1/5 — Buggy *2024-04-17* I was very happy with this app at first, it is well organized and seems to do everything I want, so I’ve spent considerable time inputting recipes and menus into it. But, TWICE now, it has updated and completely lost everything I’ve done, wiped out all my menus and lost all the things I’ve entered. I am not happy at all with that. It also will not integrate with my phone’s calendar no matter how many times I try. **Developer response:** Hello, the app has a history and backup section in the Settings screen, you might be able to recover your lost recipes there, ### 5/5 — Recommend *2022-12-21, version 2.1.1* Absolutely amazing and so user friendly!! ### 5/5 — Just what I wanted *2022-09-21* For years I used Meal Planner. Then I started having problems with the app. Contacted support and for several days tried to fix the problem nothing worked. So I looked for something new and found Meal Plan. The app exceeds my expectations. Perfect **Developer response:** I am honestly flattered by this review, and very happy you've found a solution in Menu Plan. You sound like an experienced user, your suggestions to improve the app will be very welcome; feel free to share them writing at support@menuplan.app Of course do not hesitate to contact me if you should encounter any problem.  Cheers, Davide ### 3/5 — Basics are good *2022-06-10* App currently has limited functionality with Google assistant but appears updates are coming. Good basic menu planner that generates a shopping list which is useful. **Developer response:** Hello, there was a bug affecting Google assistant integration. Unfortunately the same bug prevented me from receiving feedback sent from inside the app, so I might have missed a message of yours. I am very sorry if this is the case. Luckily a user notified me about the Google Assistant problem yesterday, and I immediately released an update. I suggest you update to 1.64, this should fix the issue. About subscription cancellation, unluckily one can only cancel in the iOS Settings, I have no ways of letting users cancel subscriptions inside the app. At any rates, I hope 1.64 works for you. Do not hesitate to contact me at support@menuplan.app for any other issue.  Edit: unluckily Google decided to sunset Conversational Actions: they will work until June 2023, and then the will stop working. For this reason the Google Assistant integration will stop working on that date . There is nothing I can do to prevent this, unfortunately Google will block this kind of integration. Cheers, Davide ### 1/5 — App is useless. DO NOT BUY *2022-03-12* This is perhaps the WORST app I have ever purchased. Core functionality does not do what it suggests and add on functions are uselessly implemented. Just a few of the issues,… so far. 1) Shopping list is NOT populated by the recipes you enter (says there are no recipes entered for the week even when there are!) 2) The app suggests you can ‘import recipe’ from text / CSV files - but no ingredients or instructions are imported! 3) Hard copy print out of your plan is absolutely useless (wastes space with icons leaving room for only one word per entry), etc. etc. etc. Do not waste your money or time. I will be requesting a refund. I will also search out the publication that suggested this app. They were clearly mistaken in their recommendation. ## Frequently asked questions about Meal Planner ### Why should I plan my meals with Meal Planner?
