### 4/5 — Must have App for the parents

*2026-01-08, version 5.07*

The App UI is well done. It’s been a great tool as a parent of a kid with restricted diet. Knowing ahead of a time, what meal will be served to your kids at the school allows you to plan for the dinner. 
Enhancement request:
Can you build a vegetarian option under the allergy section?  This will allow kids that follows vegetarian diet check that to let the staff know of kids diet restriction.

### 2/5 — Not friendly

*2024-08-13, version 5.02*

The app keeps getting disconnected. it’s not easy to change or modify your preference.

### 2/5 — Can’t Create Profile

*2024-08-06, version 5.02*

When I tried creating a profile the app crashed. I tried 3 times. I had to skip creating a profile and search for the school to see the menu. Awesome app if it worked correctly!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2024-07-31, version 5.02*

App keep on crashing again and again on iPhone

### 1/5 — Constantly Crashing

*2024-07-31, version 5.02*

Every last button I click causes the app to crash. I cannot get my second student added no matter how I try.

### 2/5 — Barely usable

*2024-07-24, version 5.02*

What the app is supposed to do is a great idea. The issue is that this app constantly crashes. I can’t take off old schools…it crashes.  I can’t add a new student…it crashes. Half the time I just try to view the menu…it crashes.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-07-17, version 5.02*

Been trying to create a new account but every time you click finish at the end to create the account, it crashes. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-03-27, version 5.02*

The app keeps crashing when I attempt to create a profile. And it won’t let me continue without creating a profile. Just use desktop. App is useless. Ended up deleting it.

### 1/5 — terrible

*2023-08-30, version 4.75*

didn’t even show me my own school!! it would let me search for my school but then it said my school didn’t exist???

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2023-01-03, version 4.75*

Can’t even create a profile without freezing! Waste of time and energy.

### 1/5 — The app stops working.

*2022-10-06, version 4.75*

The app stops working. Please fix it.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-10-05, version 4.75*

This app wouldn't
)t work I tried to search for my kids school it worked before but when I did it said school not available

### 1/5 — Shows a dozen listings!

*2022-09-02, version 4.75*

My children’s school switched over to MealViewer and this app is awful. It shows me about a dozen of the same entree, a dozen of the same vegetables, and so on. So I have to scroll through a bunch of junk and it takes forever to figure out what the actual options are. It’s ridiculous.

### 2/5 — Schools don’t always show up

*2022-08-31, version 4.75*

Trying to search my child’s school I get the thinking circle, but the school doesn’t show up. However, our district confirmed the school is enrolled so it should be showing up.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2022-08-22, version 4.75*

This app, and even the website, is terrible! It lists several of the same item over and over on the app. On the website, I can’t get the menu to print. I’ve enabled pop-ups, reloaded, etc. and it’s still not working. This is going to be an unnecessary stress this school year.

### 4/5 — Great! Suggestion.

*2022-08-17, version 4.75*

Hi! This is a great app and I’ll probably use it a lot as I’ve just started 7th grade. My suggestion is to add start and end times! That would be helpful. Thanks for reading, bye! :D

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2022-08-16, version 4.75*

It only shows anything about half of the time. I don’t know if it’s the school or the app but it’s blank most of the time and even the help button doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work

*2022-05-03, version 4.75*

It hangs on school choosing screen, both when creating profile and when trying to use without a profile. Their website shows school meals without issue, though.

### 1/5 — Won’t locate our school

*2022-04-21, version 4.75*

This app will not even locate our school! This is ridiculous!!! Why not just keep the menus like they were? On your local page?!?!

### 1/5 — The pdf online was better

*2025-02-13, version 5.07*

This app never has all the information I need to meal plan for my child. The lunch menu is missing at times from random dates. Creating a profile was not necessary, and toggling through dates instead of looking at a pdf spreadsheet where all the info I need is has added time to my meal prep.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2024-11-15, version 5.06*

This app was okay at first but it hasn’t worked at all in several months.

### 1/5 — Another garbage school app

*2024-08-23, version 5.05*

Doesn’t save profile, every new click to a day changes what meal you see. 0/10

Wish DISD would get their act together and just build a single solution instead of 6 proprietary apps that we have to log into.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work.

*2024-08-20, version 5.02*

App doesn’t work. Crashes!!!
What’s the point of this app when everyone is complaining it crashes???

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-08-19, version 5.02*

The app crashes when trying to make a profile. It’s impossible to do.

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2024-08-11, version 5.02*

App crashes on the last step of creating the profile. No options to view the menu without creating the profile. The app is useless.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-08-08, version 5.02*

I’ve been trying to create my child’s profile for 20 minutes now but the app keeps crashing when I press on the last step. Not worth getting at this point! All I want to know is when I’ll be packing lunch for my child but this isn’t helping.

### 1/5 — Never Works

*2024-08-08, version 5.02*

This app never works. Try creating a profile just to get spit out and start all over again.

### 1/5 — Used to be ok

*2024-08-06, version 5.02*

It crashes all the time now and the order things are listed in is not optimal, should start with entrees and move to the extras- that’s all I care about, do I need to pack a lunch or not? Would be nice to be able to customize what info you want to see and hide others (miscellaneous, drinks, lunch v breakfast). Not sure if this is on the app or our school but all the schools were listed last year and now only 1 of them is? Can’t use it anymore…

### 1/5 — Crashes 100% of the time

*2024-08-05, version 5.02*

I am trying to create a profile with an allergy and it crashes 100% of the time on the “Complete Setup” screen. Then when I go back in, the profile does not exist.

Idk what people are talking about this app works fine no crashes no nothing it’s great for my kids

### 5/5 — It’s slow

*2020-12-03, version 4.72*

After a while it will get you to your menu and then it works fine. :)

### 5/5 — Love the Profiles!

*2020-09-30, version 4.71*

I set up a profile when I got the app and now when I open the app, my allergens are crossed off everyday.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-02-08, version 4.5*

Love being able to see my kids lunch menu. Allergen information and all the nutritional info. My high school son uses it all the time. Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Great app to add for kids with their own phones

*2017-10-11, version 2.0.66*

Perfect! Loaded on my nephews phone, now he can wake up and see if he wants to pack lunch for that day on his own! Love it!

### 5/5 — Best School App

*2016-06-09, version 1.8*

I downloaded this app after getting frustrated from trying to open a pdf menu on my phone. Im so happy my school has this option. The app is such a quick and easy tool that has been much needed in the morning routine. Menus are up in seconds as well as nutrition and allergy info. Easy to use, clean layout, and the kids love it.

### 5/5 — Great keeping track of what the kids are eating!

*2016-03-29, version 1.6.9*

Brilliant app for keeping an eye on what the kids are being fed.. Can't wait for more schools to be added so it'll be easier to do some comparisons

### 5/5 — Best Meal App!

*2015-09-20, version 1.4.5*

Easy to use and convenient. Being able to see nutrition, allergens, and what's for lunch for the month is fantastic! Best lunch app!
