Very helpful and straightforward 😍

2 options????

I shop at Winco. I know you can’t see prices on line since there is no website for it. Also, Walmarts are also starting to use that digital pricing so the prices change at the drop of a hat. This is a great idea. But there is no Kroger in my town and we won’t set a foot into a Walmart. Please add more stores and I will change my rating.

Convenient and quick

This app is brilliant so far! I did the free week trial and decided I needed to keep it! So many recipes to choose from and the transfer straight to our weekly Tesco shop couldn’t be simpler!

Mr s

Absolutely brilliant app

Doesn’t work

I put a £60 budget for 2 people, chose Sainsbury’s, put the requirements low calorie High protein meals. Pescatarian and vegetarian and it said there was only 1 recipie i could add to my meal plan. Which is insane. And 0 other matches. So it’s very rubbish and not worth it.

Think twice before set preferences to Halal

The agent needs more training, and the app would benefit from giving users more control over their account preferences.

For example, I asked for halal recipes, but it only suggested vegetarian meals, even seafood was excluded. I then opened a chat with the agent and asked for chicken and meat recipe suggestions, but it repeatedly said it couldn’t find any. It even asked whether I had a specific dish in mind. When I suggested lasagna, it still responded that it couldn’t find any recipes which is weird!

I also tried to find where I could review or change these preferences myself, but I couldn’t find the option anywhere.

Overall, the experience felt quite limited and frustrating, especially for something as common as halal meal recommendations.Simply don’t suggest Pork, Ham …etc but meat, chicken and seafood should be fine!

adversitsed as a free app

this app is supposed to help you save money but u have to buy a subscription instead? unless u are preparing the food as ur using it (which ur not because i have to buy ingredients) you lose access to the meal u just saw and have to go through hundreds of meal plans until u see it again

Looks smart but not practical

When trying to follow the recipe it assumes you weigh and measure everything before you start cooking - which maybe you do if you’re an influencer, but I just add as I go along (saves on washing up!) problem is you cant easily see measurements and have to flick around the app.

Not made any of the recipes they suggest but have imported my family favourites, and this does help with planning the weekly shop.

Everything You Need, From Idea to Plate

I’ve tried many meal planning apps, but this is the first that truly covers the entire journey from deciding what to eat to enjoying the meal.
It stands out by connecting every step from offering inspiration, creating a meal plan, generating a shopping list, and guiding you through cooking. The process feels seamless and removes the usual hassle.
As a result, I spend less time organising and more time enjoying good food. Healthy, varied meals feel easy instead of demanding.
If you want an app that handles the whole process, this is an easy win.

Kind of complicated

The meal suggestions are still really off and the AI doesn’t work for answering questions.

Doesn’t work

It will not connect to my grocery store app. I eventually got the app to connect but was unable to send the grocery list to the store for shopping online for delivery. Sad about this. The recipes a dinner ideas really looked good. Not paying for an app that is not working to help me manage my time better. Fix the glitches, maybe I’ll try it again.

Absolutely awful

Price for this app is scandalous considering the end product. The link between the app and Tesco checkout doesn’t work at all..

Scam!

They took money out of my bank without my say so!

No clear guidance

I was so hopeful to use this app, thought it was easy to use and made some lovely dinners during the free trial. However I am confused by what each subscription tier gets me. Emailed on several occasions to find out as I wanted to sign up and pay for the year but there are several priced options. No response so I didn’t sign up. More information for each tier would be good and likely get more subscribers.

So glitchy and basically doesn’t work

I had such high hopes for this app and in principle it should be amazing but it just kept breaking constantly making it pretty much unusable - such a shame. It’s a great concept and would be brilliant if it worked.

The app I’ve been looking for!

Amazing app! Exactly what I’ve been looking for with a baby. The variety of recipes is excellent and includes nutritional info. As the app adds products to your chosen supermarket basket, it cuts the time it takes to do the weekly shop drastically!

Free trial

Not bad choices however tries to take my money 24hrs before my free trial had ended. I contacted 4 times about this with no response but I keep getting emails to rejoin. Not likely shocking customer service

Dosnt work

Waste of money. The import function never works properly and when you give simple requirements such as high protein / fibre etc, it reduces your recipe choices down to about 150, not the 500+ as advertised. Recipes aren’t great either. Won’t buy again.

Great App

This app is great for meal ideas and help with choosing what to cook. I love how you can transfer the shopping list to the actual shops. It makes things so easy. As a diabetic it’s hard to choose meals sometimes and to make this app even better showing the nutritional values like the amount of carbs in each meal would make this app even better!
