### 2/5 — Looks promising, but it’s useless without the ability to creat recipes

*2026-07-14*

Am I understanding correct that this app is only for viewing existing recipes in your Mealie server, and not for adding/creating recipes?

Because I don’t see a way to do that in this app

### 3/5 — Problème serveur

*2026-07-10*

Fonctionne correctement mais oublie constamment le serveur . Assez lourd de devoir re renseigner le serveur tous les quelques jours.

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Merci pour votre retour,

Je vous invite à créer une clé API sur votre instance Mealie et vous connecter avec sur l’application !

### 5/5 — Well made client

*2026-04-18*

God bless you for making a good clean native app for Mealie and making it completely free, just downloaded it and used it to plan this week’s meals and it is very intuitively laid out and performs really well!

**Developer response:** Hello, Thanks for your support and feedback!

### 5/5 — Best Free App

*2026-03-23*

Tried a couple of Mealie apps and this one is the best one I've found, clean interface and  works as expected, only thing it can't do is create recipes in the app but I mainly do that on my laptop anyways.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thanks for your support and feedback!

I don’t think a mobile app is well-suited for creating recipes without being frustrating for the user (3 inputs per ingredient, multiplied by the number of ingredients, plus the steps and settings).
So it’s not my priority, but the app is open-source and contributions are welcome!

### 5/5 — Could be great

*2026-02-26*

For some reason when you add a meal it puts in on the day before. The inconsistent English/french but overall the app works well and connects fine. Just needs some bug fixes and polish

Edit: Developer made a quick fix and it’s working great now. Appreciate the quick response and been using it a ton.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thanks for your feedback!

A new update with fixes is now available. Please test it!
