So helpful

All the features are organized well and so helpful. Keeps me on track throughout the week and UX is great

App doesn’t work

Just downloaded it and ready to sign up. App freezes. No point paying any money for that.

Helps reduce grocery costs

This app has inflation proofed my grocery shopping. It helps me keep track of what I have so I only purchase what I need. I’ve learned to cook with so many different ingredients and we have tried new foods while keeping our costs low.

Expensive AND Feature-Lacking

Absolutely shocked how bad this app is after reading a multiple lists that named it #1 - they must just have the biggest influencer budget, probably based on their excessive subscription cost for the limited features.

I subscribed and asked for a meal plan for a week, which included a grocery list that seemed to call for about 3x as much quantity of ingredients as I could eat in a week. Thankfully now that I am home and planning to cook I cut down on those portions, because once I’ve made these meals I am definitely unsubscribing.

There is incredibly little flexibility around the features. You cannot shift days easily from what they set in stone for you. There are no nutritional tracking options for meals you plan off-app. Half of the things on the app that you naturally want to click for more details or options are just pictures.

The recipes themselves… aside from the huge portions for what was requested, they also seemingly dont have options for quick meals, which I found only AFTER shopping and seeing that the average dinner time was over an hour despite selecting under 20 minutes in my onboarding.

Save your money and go elsewhere unless you just need an expensive recipe book.

Was a fan...

I was a FAN of this app. It changed my life at first. Had it for a few years, but it changed. You can't see all recipes available, when you look at your past meals, only 5 shows. Right now, I want to see all the recipes that the app can give you, the filter are DINNER + ALL RECIPES and only 12 recipes are showing. Not a lot of choice of recipes anymore. The custom recipes you can't add a picture, your own ingredients, you can't delete a recipe... for this price, it is really ridiculous. I found another app that solved all my problems with this app, for a ridiculously lower price.
