I wish there was a way to select only the meals from the generated list (ie only dinners on Monday/Wednesday and lunch for Tuesday/ Friday) so it gives me a grocery list of only those selected meals ### 2/5 — Almost there *2026-09-14* I like that you can pick the store that you want to shop from and I like that you’re able to exclude certain foods due to allergies or sensitivities however, it’s not always the best at excluding those from the recipes and a majority of the time when you click refresh recipe. It just shows you the same few over and over again it’s a great idea. It’s almost there, but it’s lazy AI. ### 1/5 — AI, glitchy, expensive *2026-09-14* First, this is behind a $10/week paywall. I tried the free trial to see what it was like. It AI generates a meal plan and then you can go through and swap meals you don’t want. However when you swap it no longer takes any of your preferences, budget or dietary restrictions into account. Many of the recipes seem like they wouldn’t even work or are missing a lot of seasonings/ingredients. It’s really just AI slop. At that point you’d be better off just asking any free AI bot for recipes ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-09-09* Not paying for a meal plan when I can’t even afford groceries. ### 2/5 — Has potential but still a lot of room to improve. *2026-09-07* I like that the app asks for meal preferences, dietary restrictions, and budget. What I feel that could improve: • the budget only accounts for 1/4 cup of cream, you can’t buy 1/4 cup of cream and so on for things that are usually sold prepackaged. •It would be great if the meal plan for the week could reuse ingredients through out the meals to reduce waste and actually stay within budget. •It would be cool if it actually used and showed actual prices of the grocery list items from each store. •Should add a dietary preference of high protein meals. •would be great if each individual recipe could be rated by others to see if it’s any good, since these seem to be generated by AI that doesn’t have taste buds. So far I don’t think this apps price warrants the weekly price point of $9.99 since it’s not doing much except generating a bunch of recipes with not much logic that you can do elsewhere for free. ### 1/5 — AI slop *2026-09-06, version 1.2.1* Recipes made by AI, gross recipes that are inaccurate, AI photos ### 1/5 — Dysfunctional AI Slop *2026-09-06, version 1.2.1* Lazy developers, inaccurate food pricing, ai generated images, ai generated recipes, don’t waste your time. You’re better off getting a NYT cooking subscription for $4 a month. ### 1/5 — $10 a week *2026-09-06, version 1.2.1* Not paying $10 a week to make a meal plan. I’d maybe do $10 a month but that’s wild. ### 1/5 — pay to use *2026-09-06, version 1.2.1* so expensive for some ai slop ### 1/5 — Why.. *2026-09-05, version 1.2.1* If you really think someone that’s living on a STRICT budget is looking for a low budget meal planning AI app, WHY on this God’s green Earth do you think that they could afford to PAY for an AI meal planning subscription…? You’re better off asking ChatGPT or looking for small recipes on Pinterest. This app really is not worth your time OR money. ## Frequently asked questions about Potto ### How does Potto create meal plans?
