In the last year numerous bug have cropped up and now I used apple to renew my membership at gold but none of the features are accessible. I tried emailing support multiple times and got no response after two weeks. Very disappointed because I loved the app. Guess I will start looking for a replacement that cares about return customer. ### 1/5 — What happened to this app? *2026-07-11, version 2.4.5* I used to love this app and was a paid subscriber for many years. Recently, it’s seemed pretty glitchy, but I figured I’d give it one more try before moving on to something else. I tried to subscribe through the website, but kept getting an error, so I figured I’d just subscribe through the app. Well, I’ve now been charged $120 and have no access to the “gold” features. All the meal plans are still locked, I still have ads, and I don’t have the “Prepear” mode. It doesn’t seem like this app is being updated or supported anymore, so I wouldn’t waste your money. Hopefully I can get a refund since it’s no longer working, but I would steer clear! ### 1/5 — Won’t save personal recipes and can’t delete account *2026-06-01, version 2.4.5* I signed up to save some of my recipes and create a meal plan. I added a recipe but unfortunately couldn’t save it after entering all the required details. Being of no use to me, I then proceeded to delete my account but couldn’t. Kept clicking on the delete account button and nothing would happen. I understand there are limitations with free versions but to not be able to enter and save a single recipe nor have the option to delete my account is pretty bad! ### 1/5 — App Decline *2026-05-16, version 2.4.5* EDIT 5/16/26 - UNABLE TO CANCEL! I have been a $99 subscriber for many years however it is time for me to move on. I received my annual renewal notice email for a 5/12/26 date. I have attempted to change my subscription Setting to free version but am unable to. The buttons are there but there if no effect when I click on them. I have messaged customer service multiple times with no response. Now, there subscription appears to have renewed as 5/12/26 has passed, and they renewal date on the billing page now says 5/12/2027. This is unacceptable. Original: The most recent "update" completely wiped my meal planning calendar. So now I have a week of groceries in my fridge with no clue what recipes they are for! Nevermind all if the other recent glitches like not being able to add to the grocery list from the meal planner. So sad. I really rely heavily on this app every day. And there is not a replacement that I've found that I like (compared to when this one was working well), but I might jump ship soon. Very frustrating. The app feels abandoned which is sad because it's such a good concept. ### 4/5 — It’s back *2026-03-30, version 2.4.4* App is working well now so I am sticking with the app. FYI - The app was broke for a week. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-03-16, version 26.3.0* I cannot print or save. ### 2/5 — App Decline *2026-03-12, version 26.2.1* The most recent "update" completely wiped my meal planning calendar. So now I have a week of groceries in my fridge with no clue what recipes they are for! Nevermind all if the other recent glitches like not being able to add to the grocery list from the meal planner. So sad. I really rely heavily on this app every day. And there is not a replacement that I've found that I like (compared to when this one was working well), but I might jump ship soon. Very frustrating. The app feels abandoned which is sad because it's such a good concept. ### 1/5 — Latest update is unusable *2026-03-11, version 26.2.1* As of this latest update to 26.2.1, the web version of the app is completely broken. Just seeing a blank page. In the iPhone app, I lost 4 months of meals in my planner. Reaching out for help is very hard to find. When I finally found an email, I got an automated reply but have not heard form a human (or even a bot) in over 24 hours. This is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Buggy-update Lost my recipes and meal plans *2026-03-11* Update-there was an app update a couple days ago. Most of my saved recipes are gone now. My meal plan that I did for the rest of the month-gone. First, let me start by saying this app has some great features...that is when they work. The web browser especially is glitchy. The entire bottom inch of the window doesn't work. You can visually see the mouse icon change when you hover over that particular area of the screen. Another thing is that the program doesn't have a way to contact support. There is at least a link on the web browser for that, but it leads nowhere. There is no where on the app itself to be able to contact support to put an issue in. ### 3/5 — Used to be amazing but doesn’t work well anymore *2026-02-27, version 26.1.14* I have loved this app and used it for many many years. I loved planning my meals, having it populate to a grocery list, and then being able to shop Walmart grocery directly from there. The last six months to a year, though, there have been so many glitches. It will no longer shot my list for menus that are in the future, and it will no longer shop the Walmart grocery app. I am so sad and frustrated as I have spent years adding all of my recipes to this app. I hope they can fix it. ## Frequently asked questions about Prepear ### What does this app do?
