Have to pay to use
Must pay to use app. Estimated price it gave me seemed to be a lot more than what I pay on my own. I did not subscribe to pay to use.
Saving me time, money and completely changing how we eat!
This is the first time I’ve ever used an app like this and I genuinely think it’s brilliant. It’s incredibly simple to use and has saved me a huge amount of time planning meals and deciding what to cook.
It’s also saved me a fortune. Normally my weekly food shop somehow lasts about four or five days and I end up relying on takeaways, whereas I’m now actually cooking in the evenings and making much better use of the food I buy. My kids and I are eating healthier meals and, surprisingly, I’ve even noticed that our skin is looking clearer!
What has impressed me just as much is how much the developers genuinely seem to care about making the app better. I was given the opportunity to speak one-to-one with the developer and give feedback, which I thought was fantastic. It really feels like they listen to the people actually using the app.
For someone who had never used anything like this before, I’m completely converted. It’s saving me time, saving me money and helping us eat better as a family. I’ve already recommended it to friends who are now converts too. Brilliant app and absolutely worth every penny!

No, don’t buy this!!
Money saving not exactly well if you don’t mind having cupboards full of half eaten garlic more peppers than you could throw a cricket ball out Basil coming out of your ears you name it don’t bother. The recipes are great as long as you like lots and lots of pasta. Not very imaginative definitely didn’t save me any money or time and made a lot of mess cost me 30 quid which I wasn’t prepared for. If I could get a refund, I really would and I’d consider deleting this review.

Not free and limited supermarkets
Aldi, Lidl and Iceland are not on the supermarket list and you have the pay monthly to use the app
App not working
App not working again, can’t sending ingredients to shopping basket. Very slow and unresponsive. No reply from support.
Disappointed
⭐️ 1 star. Really disappointing app. I’ve selected foods I don’t want, yet they still keep appearing in the meal suggestions. What’s the point of having preferences if the app doesn’t actually follow them? 🤦🏼♀️
Great idea but needs work
When you enter food that you want in the recipe the app completely ignores it ! Tried 3 different plans to use some veg and not one recipe included it ! Very frustrating
Not vegan friendly
It doesn’t support Ocado and it can’t make recommendations for vegan meals. I couldn’t use it all.
Customer service non existent
Got locked out this app, tried to reset password and it wouldn’t send anything to my email. Contacted support and got an email about 2 weeks later telling me they’d fixed it but it wasn’t then no reply to follow up emails. So paying for an app I can’t use waiting for it to expire in Dec.
Great app 70% of the time
This app is such a great idea, pity it’s so buggy when you need it most. App won’t generate a new meal plan, it’s slow sometimes when you try to add or remove recipes. Tells you to try later??? Support is also slow to respond. Not what you would expect from a paid for app.
Rubbish cooking instructions
The cooking instructions are poor. The screen jumps so you can’t read the full instructions or see how much to add. Very poor first experience.
Bad customer service and unwanted subscription
This is a scam, will take money for a subscription without you agreeing then mess you about when you ask for your money back. Avoid unless you can afford to have your money taken without agreeing.
What has happened?
This last update has made the app unusable. It won’t change meal plan. Won’t change supermarket. Won’t accept recipe changes. Please review it was so very helpful before!
Mealie app
Easy to set up going to give it a go
Very bad app
I tried this app out. Froze up so many times trying to set up a grocery list I had to walk away for a min. When it finally did and sent the list to Walmart the list was completely messed up. 12 bell peppers when I only needed one and miracle grow!!! Didn’t know we ate miracle grow!!! Don’t get this app!!!

Charged for free trial
I selected the free trial to give this app okay, sounded like a great idea and way to change meals up and save money. After selecting the free trial I was immediately charged £30 for the year. I have contacted support twice and haven’t received a response yet. Can’t comment on the app itself as I haven’t used it for its purpose. Just be wary as the free trial doesn’t seem to actually be free.

Poor AI
Told it multiple times to not include meals with certain ingredients and it just includes more meals with those ingredients. If you have dietary preferences or allergies, don’t bother.
Access
Not impressed that no one has contacted me after I emailed twice about the access problem I am having. The app looks great but after paying I have no access!
Useless
Mealia asked me what I wanted so I said high protein vegan and low fodmap. Mealia had two recipes, both were high fodmap, it doesn’t seem to have the ability to create recipes on the fly, and it immediately locked both incorrect high fodmap meals behind a paywall requiring immediate payment.
Cannot wait for this feature to come to Gemini and ChatGPT, in a version that’s actually useful. This app is over before it began

Terrible service
The app told me I was eligible for a 7 day free trial- great! So I go through the motions only to be charged £24.99 off the bat! So I cancelled my subscription straight away. Get in touch with their virtual assistant, told someone will be in touch ‘shortly’
I’ve been chasing for 5 days with no response from anyone. I want a refund and based on this experience I will not be continuing to use this service.
