### 4/5 — Need recipe search option

*2026-08-18, version 4.21.34*

It would be nice to be able to search recipes without putting a meal plan together

### 5/5 — Great and Easy

*2026-08-13, version 4.21.34*

I was intimidated planning meals for the week but this has made it super easy and accessible. I find new recipes I love all the time! 

I will say portions are v large with almost all meals so keep that in mind.

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2026-08-10, version 4.21.34*

Who ever build this app is life saver. I never cooked cuz. I don’t know how to but after I get this app, everything becomes easier. Thank you so 
much for build a real app

### 3/5 — System crash

*2026-08-09, version 4.21.34*

I love the app! The meals look very delicious, but when it’s time to move to shop online. I can only pick a few items into your cart before the system crashes. I would love it if that error was fixed, it makes it hard to shop for the items from your grocery list.

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2026-07-31, version 4.21.33*

This app is amazing for being completely free! The only reason I took off a star is because there are no drink or sweet recipes . I think that is a bit misleading for saying this is a food and drink app when it isn’t. Otherwise this app has amazing savory recipes.

### 1/5 — Do not subscribe if you have iOS

*2026-07-31, version 4.21.33*

I subscribed for pro so that I could have access to all features however it does not work for iOS and they do not offer any refunds. When I emailed them asking for assistance, they literally just said oh no! we can’t give you a refund since it’s iOS.

### 5/5 — I loooove it

*2026-07-26, version 4.21.33*

I just like it because it is so much better than just righting

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-26, version 4.21.33*

This app helps me so much as a mom who struggles with ADHD. My only critique is that I have a larger family and would LOVE an 8 and 10 servings option ❤️

### 5/5 — Great meal prep app

*2026-07-23, version 4.21.33*

I love this app, I just wish they had more supermarket integrations but it’s easy enough to just use this as a shopping list.

### 5/5 — Best app

*2026-07-21, version 4.21.32*

Genuinely the best and most useful apps I have ever used. Worth every penny for the subscription. Saves so much time, effort and money.
