It's a free download, and with Premium + Sync everything stays the same on every device.

Your shopping list shows who added each item. One Premium + Sync subscription covers everyone, and joining is free. COOK MODE Follow a recipe one step at a time in big, easy-to-read text, with your screen kept on. Each step shows the ingredients and timers it needs, and on iOS 26 timers show on the Lock Screen and ring even when your phone is silenced. BRING YOUR RECIPES WITH YOU Import your recipes from any of 17 recipe apps, find recipes on the web without leaving the app, or scan one out of a cookbook, a photo or a PDF. Export all of yours, photos included, whenever you like. MEAL SUGGESTIONS Fill a day or a whole week with meals based on what you've planned before, and shuffle any you don't like.

Great App

I used the original Menu Planner and loved it. I updated to the MP2 and had some questions about the subscription transferring to this newer app. They were great at answering me quickly and helped me out. Love this app!

Major issues with app

The pantry inventory only works with pantry items will not work for recipes, contacted support but get no response. I paid for premium + Sync should get support

Response from developer

Sorry you ran into some issues - I just released an update that re-works the entire pantry feature, which now works well with recipes. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Bad Support

Lost all contact with developer with the old version of the app in order to get assistance. Tried to establish contact with the new version of the app and still no support. Would not recommend.

Response from developer

Hi - I just released an update that fixes a lot of issues that have been reported. If you still need assistance, please send me an email at alan@menu-planner.com.
