Excellent, just missing some pieces

Great UI, family sharing the purchase isn’t working for me. Unsure of how to get support.

Shopping list UI needs a little love, but overall the app and the purchase are definitely worth it!

Okay

Decent app but I find it a bit crazy that the dev decided to lock the ability to add new recipes behind a paywall. The app is built on top of FOSS after-all..

Almost perfect

Edit: the Shopping list feature seems a but buggy on my device. When the list is empty and I add the ingredients for a recipe it does not sync to the reminders app. Only when I manually create an item.

Also if I check an item in the Shopping list feature in the app, it gets checked. When I now add the item to the list again, it does not create a new entry, but add the amount nesseccary to the checked item? In the Mealie Webinterface it works though.

Additionally my iPhone 16 Pro the Header of “recipes” is barely there (“Re…”) because of the other menus in the same height. Not that dramatic though.

Thanks for the detail and suggestions, I’ll look to improve some of this in the next release!

Paywalled previously free features

Good app — but not updated recently and then took free features away behind a pay wall. Bought them but you’ll get one star for the effort of the bait and switch

The paid features of this app were never free, except in the initial TestFlight period when I was actively developing it and seeking input. Also, I regularly plan feature updates and am actively working on another update of the app now.

The best!

This is the best mealie app I have tried. It is missing a feature or two but the developer was very responsive to feedback. Looking forward to the continued development

Great (with a few additions)

The app works great and is very smooth. Once a life purchase is a very good deal!

A thing I would like added are the bulk add and parse buttons for ingredients and the bulk add for instructions. Somehow it is not possible to add ingredients or units

App is Great

I am glad that this app brings more native feel than it does on the browser and does almost everything I need when using on mobile and if not I can always hop over to the browser.

With the latest update to Mealie supporting Video imports like YouTube and Instagram, it would be nice to see some feedback back when importing urls. It shows some feedback in the website but these imports take longer and it’s hard to tell if it’s working or how long it’s taking when the screen is just still after hitting import.

Is there a place to send in suggestions rather than in a review? It would be great to send in some feedback and possible features.

GuterStart

Für den Start ist die App so weit ganz gut. Was mich noch sehr stört (und vom Kauf abhält): Die Rezept-Überarbeiten-Oberfläche ist nicht ausgereift. Es fehlt die Möglichkeit große Blöcke (wie zB „Zutaten“) temporär auszublenden (bspw. durch einklappen), die Textfelder für Anweisungen sind sehr klein und haben eine statische Größe aber vor allem fehlt(!) die Funktion Anweisungen / Schritte mit Zutaten zu verknüpfen. Das ist super wichtig, weil nur dann im Kochmodus die Zutaten beim Schritt angezeigt werden.

Great App - Responsive Dev

I don’t often review apps, but this one truly deserves the credit.

The developer has been incredibly responsive, both in swatting bugs and implementing feature requests.

I’ve been using it for about a month now, and the progress made so far is looking very positive.

Great App for Mobile Users

App is a great way to use Mealie while on the phone. Option to sync with Reminders app is a HUGE plus.

Rating 4 stars because I think the lists could use some improvements.
- No easy way to see the checked items and uncheck them if you accidentally hit one.
- the plus/minus/trash buttons are nice but which they were not always on (or at least the trash icon and maybe just swipe to delete or something)
- when syncing with Reminders app a 0 comes over which I assume is the count. Probably should be 1 or null
- when selecting a recipe and adding to a list, it would be nice to have an check/all or uncheck/all button as sometimes I only need a few items from the recipe and don’t need to add everything

Thanks for the feedback! I think your first request there actually is implemented, there’s a “show checked items” toggle in the menu for a shopping list. If that’s not what you were thinking of let me know! I’ll work on your other suggestions as well for the next release.

Beste App für Mealie aktuell

Meiner Meinung nach die beste Mealie-App aktuell. Hervorragender nativer Support für Apple Erinnerungen, extrem gute UX und insgesamt sehr nah an professionellen Webanwendungen wie Chefkoch. Der Sync funktioniert zuverlässig, sodass ich die Webapp kaum noch nutze. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt: Die Einkaufslisten könnten noch etwas smarter sein, da man erledigte Einträge manuell löschen muss. Insgesamt aber eine klare Empfehlung.

Ach und der Name ist richtig dämlich. Keiner interessiert sich für die Technologie dahinter :-D

Thanks for the review! In the shopping list view you can hide checked off items in the “…” menu. And then there’s a button to delete all checked items as well. As far as the name goes I agree, it’s maybe not the best, but you’d be surprised at how many people DO actually care about the technology behind the app. I always prefer an app written in SwiftUI over those written in a third party library like react native.

The app I wanted. The app I needed.

This is a rare treat. My wants and needs satisfied in the same product. As a former chef I cook by feel and whim more often than not, however there are some staple recipes I go back to over and over. By going to the same site, over and over. As a home lab enthusiast Mealie was a beautiful solution, and this app complementing the mobile experience (where it matters most in the kitchen) is fantastic. The one time licensing fee is incredibly fair, and the family sharing is awesome. Thank you for this app!

Glad you are enjoying it, thanks for the positive review!

Won’t connect

No matter how I enter in the address to the front page the app WILL NOT connect to my server. I can access it just fine from any webpage by the port and login. After taking my money this app stopped connecting and broke.

Just use your browser.

This is the first I’m hearing about this issue, and am not able to reproduce it. I’m guessing there’s something that has changed in your self hosted environment. Can you please reach out via the feedback link in the App Store and I’d be happy to help debug with you!

Leider funktioniert nur das Anzeigen der Rezepte

Zuerst war ich sehr dankbar über die App und habe direkt die vollen Funktionen freigeschaltet, aber leider hat sich jetzt herausgestellt, dass ich weder Rezepte hinzufügen kann, noch Essenspläne oder Einkaufslisten erstellen kann. Auf meinem Server läuft die aktuellste Version von Mealie und im Browser funktioniert alles wie gewohnt. Ich korrigiere meine Bewertung gerne, wenn nachgebessert wurde.

I haven’t experienced this but am trying to reproduce it! Please reach out via the feedback link in the App Store and I’d be happy to help debug.

Good, needs updates

My recipes are written with markdown and some html which is supported on the web app, but needs support in the app

Minor Issued

Tried the paid features. I really wish the app would stay in my shopping list, but if I switch apps and return, it goes back to the main screen. This is very annoying when I am at the grocery store

Bring sync option

Gute App - es wäre toll wenn noch die Funktion für die bring api ergänzt wird - das wird ja über die workflows realisiert, generell wären die workflows eine super Ergänzung!

It’s good, but not perfect.. yet?

I am hesitant on buying this just based on first thing I tested was bugged, ingredients scaling.

I understand and support the process for funding this however I would polish up basic items before charging money for “premium items”
