### 5/5 — Easy and Effective

*2025-05-01*

This has become a game changer for me in making quick decisions about what I’m cooking

**Developer response:** So glad MealPlanner takes the guesswork out of deciding what to cook! That's exactly what we hoped it would do. Happy cooking!

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2024-02-10, version 2.4.1*

Have just downloaded this app and paid for pro version. It’s telling me to log in with Facebook or Apple. I have tried both and it just takes me back to the login page and can’t get any further. Tried the app support on App Store which just takes me back to login page! 
Total waste of money!!!

### 5/5 — Shopping and meals all organised!

*2024-01-11, version 2.3.1*

This app has saved me time with planning meals and shopping lists. It allows me to save recipes and adds the items straight to a shopping list. I plan all the weekly meals in advance. I wouldn’t be without it now!

### 2/5 — Keeps asking to leave feedback

*2023-04-24, version 2.1.4*

Every time I change screen on the app it asks for feedback not matter what option I press. If it keeps spamming, I’ll uninstall it.

### 3/5 — Keeps getting stuck

*2023-02-21, version 2.0.60*

I love this app but I have to keep closing it down because it goes to blank screen and doesn’t respond jgo24

### 1/5 — Every time you log all saved data is gone

*2023-01-11, version 2.0.60*

I’ve read the other reviews and unfortunately we had the same problem!!! The data saved is gone randomly after one or Eve a couple of hours. Shame as it’s a very simple and functional  app. Please fix it!

### 1/5 — Disappearing meals!

*2022-05-14, version 2.0.37*

Been using this for months now it has just randomly lost all my saved recipes.  Was pretty good until that point.  Not sure it’s worth the effort reentering all the data.

### 5/5 — Best App Ever

*2022-05-01, version 2.0.18*

So easy to use and pull up on your phone! It has changed everything!

### 5/5 — Unkompliziert

*2022-04-29, version 2.0.18*

Ich benutze dieser App für meine wöchentliche Mahlzeit Planung es ist  super easy gehalten und unkompliziert.

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2022-04-19, version 2.0.18*

Used to be really good. Simple and easy to use but now it just deletes plans all the time. Other people have said info disappears on closing but it’s random as it will save new info and delete older details. Will need to find an alternative as it’s too glitchy now to use.
