If it wasn’t subscription

App quality is great, but I just can’t stand subscription model. Try to find alternative options and you got a new customer.

Edit: removed another star for app size. Almost 400MB way is to much for virtually any app that is not a game or professional tool.

Response from developer

Hi there! Glad you find the quality great! We've spent a lot of effort on the app. We're a small team of 3 people, and the subscription model is the only sustainable business model for us. We're aware the app is on the larger side, the upside is that you can access all of the over thousand recipes without any internet connection. Best, Max.

Very little free content

Looking around the app and I see very few free recipes - the preview is a bit deceiving. Would appreciate knowing how much is premium BEFORE I download.

Response from developer

Hi there! We're sorry to hear you find the content lacking. There are over a thousand recipes of cookbook quality. We're pretty stoked to offer so many high quality recipes. The IAP prices are listed on the App Store page. Best, Max

This app is awesome.

I’ve been using Plantry to plan my meals for about two months now and at five meals a week, I haven’t run into a meal that I didn’t like. It took me a minute to figure out how to use it properly, but once I did everything became a breeze. I love the shopping list, the high variation of meals, the option to search for a specific ingredient, the nutrition facts for each meal, the simple way they designed the recipe pages so that you don’t have to keep scrolling back up to the ingredient list, the confetti when you mark a meal as cooked, the option to list only gluten free recipes, the fact that the shopping list tells you how much of an item to get, and most importantly, the recipes themselves. All the recipes I’ve made are fairly easy and not super time consuming, but they are SO GOOD. The way I use the app, since I’m not going out to do shopping anymore due to covid, is to keep the Plantry shopping list open on the app and open the Whole Foods app as well. I can switch back and forth between the apps super easily and add stuff to my cart. I’ve probably saved about $200 a month on groceries this way too, bc I’m not wasting food I impulse purchased and not running into a bunch of unhealthy snack foods in the middle aisles. I am not affiliated with Plantry in any way, I’m just a HUGE FAN of this app. Totally worth it.

Your review was truly heart warming for us, thank you 😍. We’d be happy to keep talking if you ever have any more thoughts or feedback for us: hello@filibaba.com Best regards, Max

Great app for people who want to eat more vegan food, but...

It keeps crashing. Can’t read the recipes let alone cooking them. And since I got premium, that should be fixed

Basically a paid app

Extremely limited variety on the free portion of this app. A subscription is needed to see anything.

Simplified my life!

This is a great app, it simplified my whole week vegetarian meal planning and streamlined the whole process from selecting meals to grocery shopping to cooking. I love it !

Keeps Crashing Lately - Cannot Open

Please check into it

Response from developer

Hi Patrick! Sorry to hear it’s crashing 😔 Please send us an email to hello@filibaba.com. If all else fails, delete the app and reinstall it. Unfortunately, this means losing you custom plans and favorited recipes, so only do it as a last resort. Best, Max

Difficult to end payments

How do I end my free trail so I don’t have to pay? This app isn’t for me and I am desperately trying to find the unsubscribe button but there is none to be found. Please, send help.

Response from developer

Hey, sorry to hear Plantry is not for you. Unfortunately we as app developers can not provide this functionality. To end your subscription go to your account settings inside the App Store app and find “Manage Subscriptions”.

Great app!

Love the app Design! It is great and so user-friendly!

I love! :)

I love this app so much, it’s extremely convenient and is easy to understand. The only thing I would want to change about it would be adding how many calories each food has. Or serving sizes. But besides that, this app is fantastic :)

Response from developer

We're happy to hear it! Calories is on our todo-list. Hopefully it will come in a not too distant update. Best, Max

Thanks!

Thanks!

Ok, you’re vegan, we get it...

This app is beautiful, I was looking for something along those lines for a long time, but the limitation of the app only having vegan or vegetarian meals is very frustrating and the way it’s just ignored and not mentioned in the App Store Name and description is almost condescending.
Too bad that an amazing app developer with beautiful apps seems to prefer pushing an agenda instead of creating an app that’s made for everyone.

Tasty!

Very tasty, easy to make dishes!

Excellent app

Love the various vegetarian meal plans! Easy to use and lots of recipes to choose from on the free version.

Healthy made Convenient!

I love using this app! It's so hard to find a way to incorporate healthy eating into a busy schedule because I never have time to look up recipes. This app is the solution! It plans my meals for the week, and I just choose which plan, then I can buy the ingredients I need, and I'm good to go! I love getting off work to look forward to making a new and yummy, healthy dinner!

Very slick

Very nice and handy app to have. Very well designed.

Testing

Testing

Great app, awesome food.

I've made 6 of the meals so far and they're super flavorful and delicious.

The app itself is gorgeous and well laid out. The only things I don't like are that you can't bookmark your favorite meals or share them with other people.

Response from developer

Happy to hear the recipes are to your liking! Those are some good feature suggestions, thanks. We'll look into them for a future version 😉

Clipping?

Maybe I am missing something. Is there no way to clip, favorite or copy these recipes? If I'm missing it I will gladly update my review but without this feature these meals are just one time deals, not recipes I can add to my cannon without writing them out free hand. Ideally, I can export these to the paprika app.

Hi Ben! Thank you for your feedback. We're a small company and Meal Plan is starting out with core functionality that we will expand in the future. For now, you can export a weekly shopping list. If you want to export individual recipes, please have a look at our other apps. Sincerely, Max

Great idea but not for everyone

Everything about this app is amazing one thing. There's different types of meal plans and a lot of room for personal input to rearrange and change recipes to meet your fancy except I really wish there was a wider range. I really don't like half of the meals available to plan. I wish I could put in my own recipes...
