Barely any personalisation. No ability to track or log meals. ### 5/5 — Beautiful reci *2021-10-12, version 3.1.4* Nice app to find your diet and recipes ### 3/5 — Cooking for one *2021-09-13, version 3.1.3* I couldn’t find any plan that worked for solo cooks. This is important for keeping weight down as well as not wasting food. ### 5/5 — Chiu *2021-07-22, version 3.1.3* Chiu ### 5/5 — Exactly the app I’ve been looking for 🙌🏼🙌🏼 *2021-07-21* Finally this is exactly the app I have been looking for 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 If this past year has made me realise anything it’s that I want to put more effort into being healthy and looking after my body I have always exercised but then slipped when it came to my diet So my hunt for an app to provide me with some inspiration for healthy meals began and boy am I glad I found this one! When you first download you can tailor the app to any dietary requirements you have and can cut out any food you don’t like The app is also so easy to navigate and provides you with all the ingredients you need and easy to follow instructions (which I definitely need 🙊). The recipes are delicious and there’s so many choices! It’s made me excited about cooking healthy meals rather than having to stick to the same boring few meals I’ll never look back! **Developer response:** Thanks for the amazing review! ### 5/5 — Organised, easy to use, keeps me eating healthier meals *2021-07-20, version 3.1.3* I found this app after a recommendation from a friend and I am so pleased I did. The quiz helps the app create a personal plan, the recipient are easy to follow and delicious, it’s helped me stick to a healthy diet, and motivates me to adopt healthier habits all round. ### 3/5 — Crashing after paying *2021-07-19, version 3.1.3* Was trying the 7 day free trial and accidentally went for the whole year. 7 days wasn’t really a long enough test period but mainly now I’ve paid it’s crashing every time I go on the weekly plan bit! ### 1/5 — Subscription Required *2021-05-04, version 3.1.2* Can't try/test AT ALL without a subscription. Don't even know what this app does. ### 3/5 — Quiz is pointless *2021-03-16, version 3.1.1* After asking me what foods to avoid, it then still presented me with the foods/ingredients I told it to avoid. App is beautiful though ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 2024 update has stopped the app working on my phone and I pay for the premium subscription. *2024-01-01, version 5.0.2* As per description it says that they have updated it for 2024. Well.... this update has stopped the app working on my phone. It does not open past the loading screen. I pay for premium too!! Yes my phone is up to date i have tried everything. Not cool. Fix it please 😅 ### 1/5 — Paywall *2023-08-25, version 4.2.4* Have to pay immediately after initial quiz - no free plan. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t let me use it *2022-06-28, version 4.2.4* Tried to make me pay or start trial before I had even used the app. I just wanted to see how the app works/explore what it can offer and they’re already trying to push a sale. ### 1/5 — Mistitled *2022-01-28, version 3.1.4* This needs an “in-app purchases” label on the search page. All services behind a paywall but not labeled as such, and not in video or description either. ### 1/5 — Why do they charge you for every app these days? *2022-01-04, version 3.1.4* Free to download but then you have to pay a monthly subscription to even see anything… ### 1/5 — 7-day trial is ridiculously short *2021-12-13, version 3.1.4* This looks like it could be a really useful app. But a 7-day free trial (as part of an annual subscription) is ridiculously short for an app like this. 1 month would be more realistic. On that basis, I’ve reluctantly given this 1 star. I’ll reconsider my rating if/when the trial period is extended. ### 1/5 — Scam - Not a free app *2021-09-20, version 3.1.3* Why not just list the app as paid? Downloaded, forced to do a quiz and then the only option is to pay - no free content at all to see if it’s worth it first. Not signing up for a subscription with a free week or whatever the offer is where they hope you forget to cancel. ### 1/5 — Charged me TWICE!!!!! *2021-07-20, version 3.1.3* I signed up for lifetime subscription and y’all charged me TWICE!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Didn’t cancel my free trial & debited my card for an annual membership I don’t want! *2021-06-22, version 3.1.3* Didn’t cancel my free trial when asked & debited my card for a product I don’t want! ### 1/5 — Captures your personal data then asks for payment *2021-05-29, version 3.1.2* Downloaded the app, answered a bunch of questions on preferences, then locks me out until i choose the 7-day free trial that requires your card details. So what happens now to my data that they got when if I choose now to provide my card details…? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-12-12, version 5.0* Very attractive app, I love the ability to filter recipes and the diary feature! ### 5/5 — Great for athletes *2022-04-04* As an athlete, I love to cook my own food so I can not only maintain a good body weight but to also feel great and not like I am forcing on a diet. There are so many options, foods and different combinations on the menu. I don’t really make the exact food on the menu but I do make my own special combinations just the way I like and want it to be. It helps me track my calorie and food intake better so I know how much calories I am suppose to burn in the gym or on the field. I really do recommend that people start using more apps like this to help them with their diets. ### 5/5 — Really easy to use *2022-04-04, version 4.2.0* This app is so easy to use. In setting up, it asks about your diet, anything that you’re avoiding and in turn provides great recipes. It’s really easy to stick with it and it’s definitely worth a download!! It’s very clear to navigate and it’s so worth it! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2022-03-30, version 4.2.0* This app is great especially for recipes and guides. I use it for my vegan food prep diet. It also includes a tracker so if you're watching calories for a deficit or maybe just on a keto diet for weight loss, this is a must have. ### 5/5 — Great app for keto meal prep! *2022-03-28, version 4.1.0* Loads of tasty options for keto and gluten free which are meal prep friendly. There are simple recipes too; great for me as I’m don’t love cooking! Also, the app really helps with tracking calories which i find essential for controlling my weight. Thumbs up from me! ### 5/5 — One of the best meal planning apps I’ve come across! *2022-03-28, version 4.1.0* This is the exact sort of app I’ve been looking for! It has amazing features allowing me to track my progress in my weight loss journey with amazing healthy recipes that look fun to prepare and are very appetising! It has all sorts of varieties suitable for meat eaters, vegans even people looking for gluten free! The menus have so much to offer and personally trying these I can definitely say I will keep using this app in the foreseeable future! One of my most favourites is the buttermilk pancakes that I can’t believe has such low calories! I cannot wait to explore even more recipes on this app. Will definitely recommend to family and friends! ### 5/5 — This app saves me so much planning and makes cooking fun again! *2022-03-22, version 4.1.0* I’m usually so busy that I very rarely used to cook. Finding the Meals app has been a huge time saver and actually gets me excited to cook, even after a long day of work! There are so many different recipes and you can even separate them by whether you want keto, gluten free or vegan (which is great for someone like me that is trying to eat vegan!). The calories per meal is a great addition that lets me eat tasty food while maintaining my weight loss plan. I love it! ### 5/5 — Complete meal app *2022-01-13, version 3.1.4* I love this app. It is a complete meal app that considers your indigenous meals and help plan according to your preference. I like this app as it is quite so helpful. ### 5/5 — A diet plan that you can easily follow *2022-01-07* Been trying a lot of diet plan app and this so far is the easiest to use and understand. It gives a lot of meal options and the food suggestions are actually like a menu from a restaurant but even better! It’s basically like a cookbook of healthy meals. It makes food prep easier plus you can keep track of your calorie intake as it’s shown for every recipe. Cooking is way more fun with this app **Developer response:** Thank you for the wonderful review! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-11-05, version 3.1.4* Just starting to discover how to use it properly and I’m already live it so far :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
