Ok but needs improvement

I initially downloaded this app because my grocery bill has been insane and many nights we would have no plan for dinner and end up not cooking and just ordering or snacking on junk.

The premise is great but I have not been as happy with it as I could be

First off, many of the meals are a little boring and there's not enough green vegetables included. Some of them have been good but most have not. And they just lacked flavor, not necessarily terrible.

But it's also hard for someone like me who shops at more than one store to use this app to see if I can save money.

I'd love to see the ability to use more than one store in a week's plan, as well as include things I need to buy anyway for breakfast or beverages, etc in the grocery bill line. That would save a lot of time trying to see if it's helping me save money.

Game changer!

This is my first ever rating of an app on the App Store! I am not a good cook, and I have never really enjoyed cooking. I’ve tried so many ways to get into cooking more whole food meals while also being conscious of what we spend on groceries. This is the first time I’ve felt like I found a real solution! I can’t believe how easy this app is from start to finish.
The recipes and meals we’ve had so far have been delicious and pretty easy and straightforward. I’m so excited to continue discovering new foods and cooking regularly! The yearly subscription cost is well worth it in my opinion.

NOT FREE

I saw a TikTok of how this app was used to meal plan. The concept is fantastic I thought to myself, and the advertiser specifically said it was free so I jumped to the App Store and downloaded it immediately. ITS NOT FREE, in fact it’s QUITE expensive. The app makes you fill out a whole survey and right before it gives you the results BAM, paywall.
I’m getting so tired of apps that do this. They trick you into filling out personal information (in this case your postal code) and a long list of other information, until the very end when they hit you with a non optional subscription. UGH I hold a special place for these apps - it’s called the garbage can.
Save your money, close your purse strings and just ask Claude to look through any grocery store website you shop at, and create a meal plan under a certain budget.
DEAR TAP COOK, had you just had a one time fee when downloading the app, me and PLENTY OF OTHERS would happily had paid upfront a couple bucks for the app. The 21st century loves to make everything a subscription that it gets to a point when you’re obviously not going to select ones that only provide one type of value and can’t be used daily. Game apps charge a small fee and MAKE MILLIONS bc ppl actually don’t mind paying a one time small fee. Get a new finance team please.

Pleasantly surprised

I downloaded this app and subscribed to the free trial. Then I forgot about it and accidentally purchased the year subscription… I AM SO GLAD THAT HAPPENED!! I figured I might as well give it an honest try since I’ve paid for the year and it’s seriously been a godsend. I’m a full time working mom of three, my husband is in school, I’m starting grad school soon, and I was spending hours a week meal planning, making grocery lists, grocery shopping and stressing the whole time about staying under budget. With this app I can do it all in minutes, the meals are all super good and easy to make. My kids, all 6 and under, have enjoyed every single meal and they’re being exposed to types of food we haven’t eaten much of before. I feel like I’ve been hunting my whole adult life for recipes like these. I’ve already told everyone that will hear me about the app. It’s one thing to take off the mental load of having to meal plan but it also saves me money, saves me time, and is yummy and nutritious. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

NO CANADA

It is unfortunate that the app shows you availability to download but as soon as you enter, it asks your ZIP Code which we do not have. If you cannot apply to Canadian norms do not give us access.
