Wanted to like

This app had some great features with smooth imports, but there isn’t a way to export the shopping list to something like iOS lists. Also it automatically adds every recipe ingredient to the shopping list and there’s no way to turn that off. Overall the interface could have been more intuitive with recipe organization as well. The concept of list to grocery deliver is GREAT though.

The updated version 4 is awful

am not keen on the V4 version at all. When cooking it was better to have visibility of the ingredients to the side of the cooking instructions. Otherwise you have to keep scrolling up and down to see what ingredient and back to the top to see the method. I have reverted back but, the font size has reduced significantly for some reason.

Please help as I loved the app but it’s frustrating. Even trying to reset to V3 that’s not working!

Best menu/ meal planning

Update! The more I use this app the more amazed I am at its flexibility, insightful options and usefulness. Job well done, Developers!

I’ve been using the app for over 5 years- love it! The money I’ve saved by meal planning and the shopping list have easily paid for the annual fee!

Love this app

This app saves me so much time in menu planning. It is so easy to download recipes from Pinterest or Instagram or any other place. Easily makes my shopping list for me. I could not live without it.

Puts responsibility on all family members

This app is a game changer. My family all have a link to the account. We pick and shop for chosen recipes at beginning of week — most pulled from our fave recipe site, Nytimes. Then everyone knows what’s for dinner so whoever is available initiates and no last min decisions or shopping necessary. Have used it consistently for almost 6 months and can’t live without it
