## What is The Dinner App?

Don’t know what to make for dinner? The Dinner App does!

If you enjoy good food, but struggle to come up with new dinner ideas night after night, (or just wish someone else would do it for you) the Dinner App is for you.


Purchase a monthly or yearly subscription to access the application, which also includes: 
1. A WEEKLY DINNER PLAN with seasonal, healthy and delicious recipes that you can prepare in 30 minutes.
2. A personalised, categorised SHOPPING LIST which shows you exactly what you need, helping you save time and money on your grocery shop.
3. Hundreds of recipes to swap in and save to your meal plan.

You can customise your weekly dinner plan and save your favourite recipes.
Designed by a mum, we also include modifications to recipes for kids so you only have to make one dinner for the whole family.
We now cater for Gluten-free, Dairy-free and Vegetarian diets.

Dinner just got easier :)

SAVE

### 5/5 — Loving this app

*2023-04-13*

So much better than meal subscription services. I think the app can get away with not having options for dietary requirements, as I have been able to substitute gluten and dairy products as needed, or just skip the meal altogether. It saves money as you only buy things you need and like eating, and there’s way less food wastage. 

Some things that would make this app even more amazing would be the option to save recipes you like in the app so you can come back and make them later and being able to pick which of the four meals you cook (instead of it just being the first three if you have three meals per week selected).

### 5/5 — I wish I could give 6 stars!

*2023-03-06*

Since having kids, I’ve found meal prep so time-consuming and frustrating. This app is full of fresh, healthy, balanced recipes that include many ingredients I already have in my kitchen. Additionally, it makes writing a shopping list sooo easy and the steps are so easy to follow!
The perfect fit for our family, thank you!

### 2/5 — Not the best

*2022-12-09*

Sadly no option for vegetarian meals only. Also no way to register on the app, which isn’t the most easy use approach for new users

### 3/5 — Very useful

*2022-12-06*

I am enjoying this app very much. Lots if easy recipes and almost zero waste. I wish i could choose or record what we don’t eat, intolerances etc as I suffer from GERD so anything with tomatoes is a no-no for me

### 1/5 — Needs more functionality

*2022-11-16*

Great idea but to be suitable it needs to Taylor to a variety of dietary needs & give more options to choose from for the week

### 1/5 — Not Free! Yes it collects data too!

*2022-10-16*

This app requires you to be registered on a website and be paying a subscription in order to use, but is marketed as free on tiktok and the app store. Disappointed!

### 5/5 — The best!

*2022-08-30*

Loving using the app. It’s bought a great variety of meals into our lives, easy to follow instructions and knowing it won’t take longer than 30mins takes the stress out of dinner. The prepared supermarket list has saved me so much mental energy. Each week I look forward to discovering what I’ll be cooking next! Can not recommend enough

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2022-05-08*

This app has been so wonderful! I have cooked 4 meals so far and all have been super tasty and healthy and my family loved them. I am trying things I never would’ve thought to and I love using the shopping list to buy everything at once. Has made life so much easier, thank you 😊

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2022-05-05*

All the recipes are healthy, varied and delicious and super easy to follow! I love not having to think at the supermarket, and it saves us so much money with no wasted food. Love it!

### 1/5 — Fail

*2022-04-23*

I had high hopes to be able to use this app. Unfortunately it takes you to a log in page that requires you to have already registered, but no way to register.
