## What is MealPlan+?

MealPlan is an easy, efficient way to plan meals and groceries.

"I am thoroughly enjoying your MealPlan app!" "Super app!" "Finally - a simple, easy-to-use menu planning app that looks good as well." 

Now with Apple Watch (watchOS 4) support!

MealPlan is a weekly meal and grocery planning app that's focused on getting the job done efficiently. You use a simple interface to plan out meals like “Hamburgers on Thursday, Fish and Rice on Friday”. Recent meals are easily available or you can type in new items the first time you use them.

MealPlan is a universal app, and will sync between your iPhone and iPad using either iCloud or Dropbox. Plan your meals on the iPad's big screen, and automatically have your grocery list with you on your phone. And access your grocery list from your Apple Watch.

MealPlan creates your grocery list as you're planning meals. When you're done, tap the Grocery Basket to see the list, add new items, mark off items you already have, and then print it, email it, or sync it with your iPhone. This is a huge time saver!

And, on the iPad, once you’ve used the app for a few weeks, the Magic Wand will help you quickly fill out subsequent weeks, with a quick suggestions interface.

Features include:
- Simple interface to plan out meals.
- Keep track of recipes and the groceries they use.
- Automatically generated grocery list based on your meal plan.
- Save grocery lists for later use (think "Party" or "Camping").
- Save a week's planned meals as a template to reuse.
- Combined search/add box makes it easy to add new items.
- Print out a week's plan to any AirPrint printer.
- Configure your own meals: Add snacks, or remove breakfast if you don't want to plan it.
- Email a plain text summary of the week's plan.
- Add a note to any meal item, including clickable links.
- Dropbox sync for families with multiple devices and accounts.
- Use Siri for groceries: "Add Milk to my Grocery List".

"Before MealPlan, I’d buy food at the grocery store and then forget I had it .. a few days later it would go to waste. A few minutes every week standing in front of the fridge with MealPlan in hand will help you get the most out of what you have on hand. Plan it, print it out and stick it to your fridge!"

### 5/5 — My most used app

*2024-04-15*

My children all have different food allergies and this is the only way I can track each meal, manage the ingredients, and ensure everyone is meeting their nutritional needs. I’ve been meal planning with this for over seven years!

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-04-23, version 2.24*

Deleted the app in less than 3 minutes.

### 5/5 — Simple and smooth

*2023-01-09*

Just the way I like it.

### 5/5 — MealPlan

*2023-01-05*

I have used this app for several years and find it excellent. It is easy to use, and saves having to think what shall I have today.
You can plan days, weeks or months ahead and the copy and paste saves a lot of work,
,

### 4/5 — Best digital meal planner

*2022-03-14*

This app has all the functionality I have been looking for: 1. Easy to use 2. Ability to add my own meal names 3. Ability to develop my own meal plan and not be stuck with preplanned plans. 
Today I planned for a month very quickly. I don’t need grocery list as I use Alexa and verbally add items to my list as I meal plan. 
I only plan for dinner and have deleted breakfast and lunch. I would really like to be able to have a month on a single page rather than a week. I know I can easily swipe to the next week  but as I am planning leftover days and repurposed leftovers it is nice to visually see the entire month on one page.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-01-05, version 2.24*

This app is almost perfect, shame it doesn’t seem to be getting updates.

There’s only 2 features I would like to see added:

1) I’d prefer the items on a new line instead of comma separated, not a huge issue though. It’s fine as it is. Perhaps an option in the settings for those that prefer comma separated?

2) A button to make an exact copy of the week before. The wizard feels like a game where I have to keep tapping it, locking in then repeat till the things are in the right order. My diet is very strict and so it’s identical week to week at the moment. Just need a button to make it the same as last week!

Apart from the it does exactly what I want/need.

Great work!

### 5/5 — So useful

*2021-06-07*

In this app I can list meal ideas (with recipes),meal plan for the week and organise shopping lists. Simple, straightforward and easy to use. Made my life a lot easier 👍🏻👍🏻

### 4/5 — Really useful and makes my life easier

*2021-01-16, version 2.24*

I really like this app - I have being trying to find a way meal plan and to shop for only the foods I need each week in an easier way and this app has helped enormously. I love the fact that I can put all the required ingredients in for a recipe once, select which of those I want adding to the shopping list.

It has really helped me to cut down on time needed to meal plan and has made me want to, whereas I used to hate it as it was time consuming and often avoided it which meant I often ended up with wasted food, buying more than I needed “just in case”.

The only thing that prevents me giving 5 stars is the slightly clunky feel to the app but it does everything I need it to.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2020-12-28*

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!! It works great, no crashing and I can change my mind as many things as I want! 
I can make my own recipes. I can make my own categories. I can move menus around. It’s amazing!!

### 3/5 — New issue

*2020-11-21*

I loved this app until this week. I relied on it to make and print my shopping list. It makes it, but when I hit the send to printer or email icon it shuts down my grocery list. Unable now to use the list. Big disappointment.
