My most used app
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!
Not user friendly
Deleted the app in less than 3 minutes.
Simple and smooth
Just the way I like it.
MealPlan
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,

Best digital meal planner
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.

Almost perfect
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!

So useful
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 👍🏻👍🏻
Really useful and makes my life easier
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.

Thank you!
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!!

New issue
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.
I rely on it. Minor issue still
Incredible response from the developer that did a good job of addressing the issues. Most are fixed and I can use the app as I did before. One hanging issue left: I still can’t click on a link that’s in the notes; instead I have to tap and hold, select it, copy and paste it into a webpage, even though the text looks like a hyperlink.
Original review:
The app has been crashing on me every time I open it. It seems to be related to having web links in the notes. Before the last recipe I added, I was relying on it heavily. It was easy to get groceries for any number of days, and I really loved having a grocery list and recipe keeper combined.
Glitches I’ve noticed:
As stated, links in the notes are troublesome.
Sometimes, meat from recipes don’t appear on the grocery list.
Recipe suggestions only work if you populate every meal every day for a certain number of days.
Not a glitch, but measurements only allow decimals, so I can’t tap “1/3 cup” but have to use 0.33 instead.
Things I love: I can sync between my phone and my husband’s, so we both know what groceries to get or what the meal is without having to ask each other lots of questions. I like how easy it is to search through recipes, and how easy it is to categorize. I like that I can add photos, too.

Response from developer
Hi Larissa - This should be fixed with the current update in the store (2.22). Please install that and try it again. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Don’t waste your money
When I saw people say it was difficult to use next to other reviewers that loved the app, I figured perseverance and tech experience was enough. It’s not. At some points, the entry field for grocery lists is cut off of my screen so I can’t edit it. You type in a meal and it looks like they have it in the database. You click the predicted food and nothing happens. This is not easy. At some points it’s literally impossible. There is no phone number just an email and FAQ. I wish I could get my money back. It’s $4 dollars, but four bucks for junk is a racket.

Hi Paula - Sorry to hear you're not having a good experience with the app. If you'd like to contact me at the support email (support@falldaysoftware.com) I'll do what I can to help, or help you get a refund. Thanks.
Exactly what I was looking for
I’m not using this (yet) to its full capacity as I’m not putting all ingredients in to form shopping list.
I am storing, sorting and organising recipe and meal ideas and planning out my week.
This app does exactly what I wanted an app to do. Loving it, thank you!

Doesn't work
Don't buy. Can't edit categories. It won't open when you try to select various things like ingredients, categories, etc. to actually be able to make this functional. And given they charge for a non functioning app, that's a joke. I hoped the newer positive reviews meant this was ok, but sadly it doesn't work. Working on somehow getting a refund as this is horrible.

Response from developer
Hi Utreviewer8 - I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this .. I can help figure out what's wrong and get it working for you. Contact me at support@falldaysoftware.com. If you'd prefer a refund, you have to request that from Apple. There should be a link in the receipt you got for the purchase that you can use to report a problem. Contact me if there's anything I can do.
No updates for almost two years!
It appears the developer has abandoned future development/bug fixes/enhancements on this app.
Response from developer
Hi - Well, no, it's not abandoned - I still use the app every week for my own groceries and meal planning. It works well on all the current devices, and I'll be adding support for whatever Apple announces at WWDC this year. If there's a problem, or something you wish the app could do for you let me know at support@falldaysoftware.com. Thanks.
Uncomplicated
This is a very simple app to plan your meals ahead and get your shopping list written for you.
It's easy to add your own recipes, but linking them from the web seems to have changed in a recent update and doesn't work well anymore with ingredients not pulling through or the weblink being displayed to click. You can add photo's of recipes.
I like that the shopping list is sorted by aisles, which you can set yourself. You can also move items around on the list or you can easily tick them off. It is very useful that you can then email it.
Overall, a good app for simple meal planning without the over complication of nutritional information.

This is by far my favorite meal planner
Out of all the meal planner apps this is the only one that lets you use your own recipes in addition to planning in such an organized way!
I wish there was 1.) dark mode 2.) updates UI but the meat is there! I highly recommend this one!

What happened
I really like this app. Have been using it for a long time. Today I tried adding a new recipe. When I try to select an aisle for an ingredient there is no way back to the ingredient info and I have to shutdown and restart my iPad. And the new recipe is not added.
Very useful
Such a simple, easy way to plan meals, save recipes and build grocery lists. An app I couldn’t live without now.
Not what I paid for.
This app is buggy and doesn’t work well. I’m very disappointed. I thought there would be a calendar type of interface like the one on the FallDaySoftware website, but it’s just a list of meals and every time I want to repeat an item I have to go through 5 steps to do so. This is not what I thought I had paid for.
