### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-08-21, version 6.0.12*

There are many apps around like this but what stood out for me is that you can also use it on a computer browser not just a phone app, there is a reasonable one-off cost and not an expensive yearly subscription like others, plus there is an option to make a me plan. Support is also very quick and responsive

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2026-08-17, version 6.0.12*

Very good app so easy to use, found recipes I like on the net so easy to import, change photo, scale ingredients etc, calendar works, shopping list works (and you can add your own supermarkets) excellent app

### 5/5 — Ty for this app❤️

*2026-08-17, version 6.0.12*

I downloaded this app to get away from all the ads from recipe websites. I’ve had this app for a year now and I still use it all the time. I’m really happy that they added a feature to import recipes from photos and tiktok videos because that was something that I was wanting😂.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2026-08-16, version 6.0.12*

I don’t mind cooking, I even enjoy it, but I hate grocery shopping, coming up with a list of what to buy, figuring out what to make… This app streamlines all of that. I create custom categories that make sense to me for recipes I love. I can add recipes to each day for different meals, and sometimes I do. I love that I have access to this feature. Best of all, you can add the ingredients for each recipe to a grocery list, uncheck anything you have on hand, and it tells you how much to buy based on the recipes you plan to make so you don’t buy too much/too little. I did add everything in my pantry when I first got the app but for me it’s a lot to maintain. Again, love that the feature exists, it’s great for things I use occasionally to track what I have left, just not for tracking items in heavy rotation.

### 3/5 — Lost All prices in pantry

*2026-08-08, version 6.0.11*

Have used MealBoard for a very long time, constantly updating prices and adding hundreds of items. The last update from 5 days ago I think wiped every item price back to $0.00. 🫤

### 5/5 — One of the BEST apps

*2026-08-07, version 6.0.11*

It has exactly what I need for grocery planning and shopping and no extra stuff to get in the way.

### 5/5 — Can’t live without!

*2026-08-06, version 6.0.11*

I’ve been using this for a few years , and I realized I’ve never left a review ! 
This app has helped me in so many ways / and I don’t even use all the things available!

I literally can’t tell you - how much I love and use this app!!  My family is grateful too, bc I have found some of their favorite recipes . 
This takes a lot of the stress out cooking .. and planning ahead!  Thank you MEALBOARD

### 5/5 — Been using for years

*2026-08-06, version 6.0.11*

Does what I need. Use it weekly!

### 5/5 — The best recipe/meal prep app I have ever used

*2026-08-04, version 6.0.11*

This app has always been ahead of its time. You can grab recipes from blog websites by simply pasting the URL, take a photo of a recipe from a cookbook or a handwritten recipe and convert it into a digital recipe, or manually add your own. It truly becomes one home for all of your recipes.

It has its own built-in calendar where you can plan your meals for the week or month by simply adding recipes to each day, mark leftovers, or label each meal (lunch, etc). It then syncs with your Calendar app, so your meal plan automatically appears there. It can create a grocery list from your meal plan, combining all the ingredients into one place. You can check off the ingredients you already have in your pantry, leaving only what you need to buy. Then you can even sync that list with your grocery store.

But this latest update has made it exceptional. You can now import recipes directly from social media, so no more saving endless videos you’ll never watch again. You can also copy/paste full recipes you’ve had sitting in PDFs, your Notes app, or even old photos for years, it will convert them! I honestly didn’t think there was another way this app could improve, but this update solved one of the biggest gaps it had. Now every recipe I own, no matter where I saved it, can finally live in one place. And you can back it up and sync to your cloud so you can’t lose it! Incredible!!!!!

### 5/5 — Revolutionary!

*2026-08-03, version 6.0.10*

Rarely does an app delivery on its life changing promises but MealBoard does! Simple to import recipes, user friendly interface, sensible easy to use shopping lists. And recipes adjust to how many you want to cook for it’s help me rediscover my love for cooking. We are eating better and with more variety and reaching for deliveroo much less!
