### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-10-20*

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!

### 1/5 — Major issues with app

*2026-05-07*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 1/5 — Bad Support

*2026-03-30*

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.

**Developer response:** 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.
