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. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2026-09-29, version 1.2.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Payment *2026-09-29, version 1.2.2* Sucks that we have to pay a subscription right away. ### 2/5 — Immediate pay wall after quiz *2026-09-29, version 1.2.2* 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 ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-09-27, version 1.2.2* $10/week before they give you anything ### 1/5 — Too Basic *2026-09-20, version 1.2.1* 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! ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-09-18, version 1.2.1* This is another ai app with tacky ai graphics. Also watch out for over charges. ### 1/5 — Why? *2026-09-15, version 1.2.1* I Will not spent $520 a year on app or $10 a week absolutely not if it was $10 a month maybe but not $10 a week ### 1/5 — Just lazy *2026-09-15, version 1.2.1* 10 dollars A WEEK for AI slop? Be so for real right now. ### 2/5 — Almost there *2026-09-14, version 1.2.1* 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, version 1.2.1* 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 — AI slop *2026-09-12, version 1.2.1* AI slop unfortunately :( ### 2/5 — $10 a week is a choice *2026-09-10, version 1.2.1* I love this idea and as someone trying to lose weight this seems great. But not for $10 a week. It would be great if there was like a limited free version that scaled down access but all or nothing, I’m going with nothing. ### 1/5 — Not for picky eaters *2026-09-09, version 1.2.1* Definitely not for me. Only allows 30 items to be categorized as “don’t show me these.” You should be able to hide/block a meal from showing up too. For example, I love potatoes, but I don’t want a baked potato. From what I’ve seen, not a lot of meals to offer either. Glad I had the free trial or I would have wasted $10 ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-09-09, version 1.2.1* Not paying for a meal plan when I can’t even afford groceries. ### 1/5 — Meh. *2026-09-08, version 1.2.1* Didn’t offer a lot of variety, at least for vegetarians. Nothing really original about the recipes. The price of the suggested grocery list was over the budget I gave. Just not for me. Didn’t lighten the mental load like I was hoping for. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deceptive *2026-11-04, version 1.2.3* 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?! ### 1/5 — Do not get *2026-10-29, version 1.2.3* 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! ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-10-26, version 1.2.3* 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. ### 1/5 — A.I. generated BS *2026-10-25, version 1.2.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Use chat get instead *2026-10-19, version 1.2.2* 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. ### 1/5 — AI Slop - Same Meals Over and Over Again *2026-10-17, version 1.2.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Money *2026-10-12, version 1.2.2* Can’t view results without spending money of course ### 1/5 — Crazy expensive *2026-10-09, version 1.2.2* 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). ### 1/5 — $10/week *2026-10-09, version 1.2.2* I’m not sure who was smoking crack but I’m pretty sure these developers were ### 1/5 — Absolutely money grab *2026-10-06, version 1.2.2* 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” 🥴 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Funktioniert *2026-08-27* Also bei mir funktioniert alles einwandfrei weis nicht warum so wenig Sterne das ist eine 1a App ### 4/5 — Nice, but would like to see some updates *2026-10-19, version 1.2.2* 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. ### 4/5 — Feature Request: Select individual meals *2026-09-21, version 1.2.1* 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 ### 4/5 — Want to add multiple stores *2026-09-11, version 1.2.1* Love the idea, but I shop at two or three different stores. Would love to be able to add multiple stores ### 4/5 — Has potential *2026-07-29, version 1.2.1* Great app. Would love to be able to manually input what’s in my fridge and pantry ### 4/5 — Measurements *2026-07-27, version 1.2.1* I did the trial, I love the concept but just haven’t been able to commit because the measurements in grams make me a little crazy. It would be great if there was an option to change to it to cups and such. ### 4/5 — Easy Minor Updates *2026-07-06* This is what I needed in my life. I don’t want to make any decisions. I don’t want to pick meals, just give me what I’m eating and what I need. However, whenever I regenerate a meal, it won’t update it in the grocery list. So I had a meal on my weekly list that I had no items for. Could be an easy fix? Otherwise 10/10. ### 4/5 — Love so far, but needs more features! *2026-06-25* Love this app, has so much potential! I would love to have options to select which meals you want generated for the week (breakfast, lunch, or dinner). Also, would be great if you could add an overall option to switch to generating bi-weekly or monthly meal plans! Some of us don’t want to plan and grocery shop every single week! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We're happy to hear you're enjoying Potto. Your suggestions about selecting specific meal types and generating bi-weekly or monthly plans are great ideas. We'll definitely keep them in mind as we continue building new features. ### 3/5 — Love it, but more customization is needed *2026-09-04, version 1.2.1* This app is nearly perfect, but some critical things that are missing is the option to choose how many days you need meals for and which meals. For example, I typically go out for food twice a week and I also only need meal ideas for dinners. ### 3/5 — Cool in theory *2026-08-26, version 1.2.1* I have IBS and chose the IBS/LOW FODMAP option and it only recommended me stuff with foods that I cannot have on my diet. The directions are also super vague --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
