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.

Waste of money
There are free apps that do this better. Minimal anything.
Buggy app
Downloaded to try it out. Immediately hung when trying to browse recipes and look at nutritional info. No way to exit other than to kill the app.
Very helpful
This app allowed me to eat healthy meals easily and was very easy to follow the instructions
Better options out there
I thought I was being smart when I paid for the annual subscription, but I found out a few months in, the recipes within are extremely limited and many are even taken from elsewhere. How many times can you suggest I put a different protein on a store-bought salad kit?
Other services that are similar let you filter and show many more and better options, this one seemingly recycles the same options over and over again and doesn’t let you expand any further unless you put in specific keywords. I found it extremely limiting and not worth it. There are other sites where I could simply collect recipes that are similar or even the same in some cases. Totally not worth the price.

Waste of money.
Not worth the cost. Poor customer service.
Imperial only
This app isn’t really suitable for international users. All measurements are in imperial, with no option to view in metric.
I guess that’s ok for the US, Liberia and Burma.

No Instacart Connection
I was really excited to try this app. We’re trying to cook more and already big Instacart users. This seemed like the perfect solution. No Instacart connection. When I I asked…they said we’re still working on it. Then why make it a big selling point. False advertising.
Inflexible and limited
Ingredients list is limited
Cannot add recipe unless Ingredients are in their database
Limited measurements : for example, cannot put in no. of pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs.
Instead I must use actual number of raw chicken thighs.
Great concept but horribly executed.

Waste of money, generic recipes, boring outcome
1- You can get the exact meal plan set up on the Albertsons Grocery Store app for FREE and with option to easily add it to your cart for drive-up or delivery. Plus more varied and less limited boring recipes.
2- They don’t meal prep staples, like stocks, or sauces, or quick pickling (which if you want flavor in your meal prepping you’re gonna need those items)
I wasted my $$$ 🤷♀️

Where are the recipe choices?
I was interested in this app to help me choose different recipes each week and add variety to my family’s meals. The variety is extremely low, I cannot browse through lots of different recipes and it seems like I only have about 15 options to choose for dinner week after week with no ability to “load more” if none are good enough.
I searched for “spaghetti squash” and only a single recipe came up. I find it hard to believe there is only one spaghetti squash recipe in the entire database, but honestly it might be the case because I can’t seem to get to more recipes ever. Very disappointed, especially after paying for a very expensive subscription.

User Unfriendly!
I hate this app! It is terrible to navigate - difficult to figure out how to start a new menu. It brings up all the old recipes and doesn’t give options to just start a new week. It also keeps offering the same old recipes constantly. This is the worst meal plan app I have ever used!
Pretty good but very rigid
I didn’t like how rigid it was. Not everyone’s life or diet is constant. Maybe you want a new diet. Maybe today you want more calories after playing sports. Maybe you went out to eat and want to cut back on carbs for a few days. Or maybe this week you don’t have time to meal prep because you have a life or something.
This app doesn’t really support any of that. Every option you choose is locked in for the rest of your life. It’s not easy to quickly change settings on the fly. I should be able to find a low carb dinner without committing to a low carb marriage.
I also would have liked an easier ability to import and customize recipes from other sources.
This app does have a lot of positives. I do like the visual interface and ease of picking and seeing meals.
If you’re new to meal planning and don’t really know what you want, then this app is probably great for you. It chooses meals for you and basically skips you right to the grocery step, but it does it without much input from you.

Can’t stop monthly charges. Barely usable.
The interface is nice-looking but beyond the most basic functionality it’s unusable. There are no useful settings to adjust, no obvious way to get support/help, and the app crashes ( I have to re-download it) every single time I open it. Don’t get a subscription because you won’t be able to change or cancel it.
I am going to have to block the payments from my bank.

Used to be a 5, recipes have gotten more “basic”
This was a 5 up to around a year ago, it was very creative and had great recipes on how to make your own dressings etc.
Recent recipes I’ve selected have asked me to “microwave a red bell pepper” and “buy salad with chipotle dressing”….. where’s the recipe to make the dressing?
Disappointing.

App needs work
4 star service, 2 star app (averaging 3 stars) App is janky. FAQ page won’t load and requires a force restart. I can’t change my meal preference settings (it’s stuck at brown rice and whole wheat pasta and who likes those). Buttons are slow and sometimes unresponsive. Adjusting meal schedule is not easy on mobile (I adjust on computer). Etc etc etc like whoa
Food is pretty good tho.
