Deceptive

Very irritated that almost 2 months was charged at almost $80 that I cannot get refunded. Used the app once. Absolutely ridiculous who pays $10 a week?!

Do not get

This app is a scam and will not send reminders to cancel the 7 day membership, they will continue to charge you even after you cancel!

Useless

You need a subscription to do anything. The meals it recommends are obviously AI generated and also are incredibly bland. A free online chat bot could come up with better options.

A.I. generated BS

Don’t waste your time with this app. Typical theme of asking you a bunch of questions then hitting you with the sign up for premium and even if you do the free trial. All the recipes are A.I. generated. It’s just comical.

extremely overpriced

it’s a cool concept but $10/week is absolutely insane for the features included

Nice, but would like to see some updates

My husband and I love this and we have only been using this for the past month, but we wish there was a way to indicate how many days of the week you will be shopping/ cooking for. There are sometimes when we only need to cook for 5/7 days and we have to decipher which of the meals required which ingredients for the shopping. I just think it’d be better if we can choose how many days we are cooking for.

Also maybe have more than 1 store option at a time. Also being able to click multiple recipes and being able to regenerate them instead of having to go into each one would be nice.

Use chat get instead

It's $10 A WEEK for an AI app. I'd suggest googling a menu planning prompt or just doing a back and forth with chat got at this point.

AI Slop - Same Meals Over and Over Again

Don’t waste your time or money. It literally gives you the same “recipes” over and over again. Salmon and sweet potatoes, fried rice, chicken and spinach wrap, salads, and vegetable soup. The option to swap out your meal with a different recipe doesn’t work. Then the instructions are so basic and vague, you if you did follow this your food would end up being so bland. Literally every single recipe says cook according to package instructions add salt and garlic. $9.99 a week is a joke, and it doesn’t even stick to the price parameters you set. Theres 100s of other free apps that does the same exact thing. I would give this negative stars if I could.

Just use chatgpt 🤷🏾‍♀️

For the weekly price this app is just not worth it in my opinion. Some meal choices are not great and when asked to swap it gives the same options over again. Another issue for me what the budget I kinda want an option to stick within a certain range but it always goes over…I rather just use chatgpt and get a monthly subscription at the same price.

Money

Can’t view results without spending money of course

Crazy expensive

You get option to first week free (3-day trial) before being charged $9.99/7days.

App cost more than Netflix for doing something we all should have already have a handle on in our adult lives (e.g. math and looking up recipes).

$10/week

I’m not sure who was smoking crack but I’m pretty sure these developers were

Absolutely money grab

Bills weekly, so make sure you cancel before you’re 12.99/wk deep in an app you didn’t even realize you subscribed to post “free trial” 🥴

Disappointing

Makes you think it is free (even on the website) then bait and switch to a subscription screen prior to giving a meal plan. Just list the cost directly from the beginning.

Payment

Sucks that we have to pay a subscription right away.

Immediate pay wall after quiz

Can't even get past the quiz without it asking for a free trial, then $10 a WEEEEKKKK after that .. no thanks. Immediately swiped out and uninstalled the app. I can do this in my notes app lol

Expensive

$10/week before they give you anything

Feature Request: Select individual meals

So much potential on the app. Today, it’s generating 2 meals per day. 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

Too Basic

The meals this app came up with were SO basic & over budget when I could easily come up with more complex meals WITHIN my budget.
And they want to charge to use the app for these kind of meal plans? No thanks! Gimmick!

Not worth it

This is another ai app with tacky ai graphics. Also watch out for over charges.
