### 4/5 — Good but

*2023-10-10, version 1.12.1*

I like this app but I would like it even better if I could *also* add meal ideas/ recipes to the search bank separately from planning a week. I also want to add my own tags (eg “weekend”, “kid approved”). If I could also tell the app to generate a week of meals from my list based on a set of parameters from my tags (eg max 1 pasta & minimum 3 vegetarian) then it would be perfect for me!! 🤩

### 4/5 — Serves its purpose

*2021-12-30, version 1.12.1*

I like this app, it gives me what I want which is a simple record for my weekly meal plan. I have no interest in breaking down nutrition or anything complicated, so this app serves my needs. What I would love to see, though, is an ability to customize the tags. Ex. I can tag a meal as ‘vegetarian’ ‘healthy’ ‘quick’ ‘good for guests’ etc. I’m vegetarian, so literally all my meals are vegetarian. This tag is useless for me. But I’m not gluten-free, for example, so having a gluten-free tag would be great (or any other dietary restriction), so if I have a guest who doesn’t eat gluten, then I could easily search for a suitable meal.

### 4/5 — Recommendation

*2019-11-01, version 1.9.2*

Would love to see breakfast and snack planning sections in addition to lunch and dinner

### 3/5 — Useful app, wish it had more

*2019-10-13, version 1.9.1*

Have been using for a few years now.  Decent app, but wish it had a calendar feature so I could add specific dates.  Also wish I could add more than one line item to my meals, they aren’t just titles.

### 4/5 — Basic but useful

*2019-01-22, version 1.6.0*

There’s a few things I wish this app had, like ingredient lists within each day instead of just a grocery list. I also wish you could delete a week if you accidentally add one, so it doesn’t keep going to the “new” week that doesn’t exist. But overall very good.

### 4/5 — Good App-want more

*2018-09-01, version 1.5.1*

It would be nice to be able to switch to a 30/day calendar view to view my meal plans. 
Also please add a function to switch recipes among days. Then I wouldn’t have to delete a day and type it again.

### 4/5 — Me ha dejado de funcionar

*2018-07-01, version 1.5.1*

Me ha ido bastante bien, hasta hoy que intento abrirla y se enciende y rápidamente se apaga. Hasta ahora me gustaba mucho.

### 5/5 — Ideal para planificar la semana

*2018-06-03, version 1.4.1*

La aplicación me ha sorprendido. Es simple pero al mismo tiempo tiene todo para hacer plan de comida semanal, guardar las recetas que encuentras en internet y apuntar la lista de compra. Quizas deberian mejorar el logotipo.

### 4/5 — Bonne appli

*2018-05-11, version 1.4.1*

J’ai cherché beaucoup d’applis avec ces fonctionnalités, c’est celle qui convient le mieux. On attend dans la prochaine mise à jour la possibilité de nommer les jours « lundi » « mardi » etc plutôt que jour 1, jour 2... et ce sera presque parfait !
La copie des liens vers les recettes est très bien, elle reprend aussi la photo, c’est pratique pour le visu global de la semaine.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-05-07, version 1.4.1*

Great app. Keeps me on track with meals for the family.

### 1/5 — Why not compatible with androids?!

*2019-06-02, version 1.6.0*

I spent a lot of time looking for a good meal planning app and I found this. I was really happy at first until I realized it is not compatible with an android. As my husband has an android I will not be using this app until it becomes compatible.

### 2/5 — Fantastic…. Until Now… and getting worse

*2025-08-15, version 1.12.1*

This app has been great for many years, but it does have a couple of issues. Recipes don’t always delete, and my current main problem is sometimes I can’t insert photos or links. I just get an error. The links are the whole point of the app! AND when I search I can no longer see which week the recipe is located in, and can’t make changes. I have been using this app for a very long time, it is really great, but it does need a bit of attention from the creators.

### 2/5 — Problème pour copier lien

*2019-12-29, version 1.9.3*

C est l appli que je cherchais ... mais une fois le lien copier dans l agenda impossible de l ouvrir donc peu d intérêt. 
Je copie des liens de l appli marmiton ou Cookeo ( qd je copie le même lien dans note la recette s ouvre bien ) 
Merci de votre aide

### 2/5 — crashing

*2019-06-27, version 1.7.1*

This was a great planning tool until recently when it started crashing every time I'd attempt to access the website affiliated with the recipe I had picked for each day. I've offloaded and downloaded the app multiple times but cannot get it to resume its normal function.

Update: developers emailed to let me know they’ve submit a fix to Apple so fingers crossed it will work. I appreciate being contacted by them nonetheless:)

### 3/5 — Fantastic…. Until Now

*2024-12-12, version 1.12.1*

This app has been great for many years, but it does have a couple of issues. Recipes don’t always delete, and my current main problem is I can’t insert photos. I just get an error. I rely on those photos to quickly see what a recipe looks like. I have been using this app for a very long time, it is really great, but it does need a bit of attention from the creators.

### 3/5 — Bonne application

*2021-02-03, version 1.12.1*

Simple à utiliser pour planifier les menus. Génial la copie de lien. Mais je ne retrouve pas ma liste de courses, ni comment éditer le planning. Dommage.

### 3/5 — Easy to use

*2021-01-10, version 1.12.1*

Really easy to worse would be better if you could add breakfast.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2020-05-29, version 1.11.0*

It would be easier if the weeks were dated instead of numbered. And it would be nice to be able to edit entries on the grocery list. Other than that, it’s a good app!

### 3/5 — Needs something more.

*2020-05-20, version 1.11.0*

Interesting so far. Wondering if there would be a way to make it so you can have a grocery list for each meal automatically after copying the link? And then having an option to add the grocery list for that meal to the overall grocery list.

### 3/5 — Why the change?

*2020-01-15, version 1.10.0*

I would have said before this is a four to five star app. But now, when I add a link to a recipe it doesn’t automatically pull in the name and sometimes even the photo. Why the change? That was a good feature. And it used to ask if you wanted to put in the link if you had copied it.

### 5/5 — Simple, just works

*2026-02-14, version 2.0.0*

I used many complex apps, this one works and has the step by step, removing the ridiculous descriptions on recipe websites

### 5/5 — Love this site

*2021-03-07, version 1.12.1*

Amazing and easy to use

### 5/5 — So easy and intuitive

*2021-01-06, version 1.12.1*

I have tried several meal planning apps and found them overly complicated. This one is perfect for someone that just wants to plan dinner. I love how you can copy and paste the recipe link!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-06-03, version 1.11.0*

Highly recommend this app! It’s easy to use. Love everything ☺️

### 5/5 — Simple and beautiful

*2020-05-22, version 1.11.0*

I needed a clean and simple meal planner and this is it. Amazing work! Get this now!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-02-10, version 1.10.0*

My partner and I were always reluctant to start meal planning but we started using ‘weekly chefs’ and never looked back! I think it’s great! It works really well and the developers welcome feedback and suggestions and actually listen.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-04-01, version 1.6.0*

I was dubious about apps such as these, expecting their functionality with other links I share to not work as expected, but have just started using it and so far it is great! 

No dramas at all with sharing recipes from my other recipe apps, and now finally I can group all my recipes for the week from multiple apps into one meal plan and shopping list, which means I don’t forget any and makes things a lot easier working with one list when buying groceries!!

### 5/5 — Appreciation

*2019-01-13, version 1.6.0*

Avec ma famille reconstituée j’apprécierais avoir 
Déjeuner 
Dîner 
Souper 
Collation (facultatif)

Merci de prendre en considération ma demande

### 5/5 — Ergonomique et une app enfin flexible !

*2019-01-12, version 1.6.0*

Je suis conquise - j'ai cherché longtemps une app me permettant facilement de prévoir mes repas de la semaine COMME je le souhaitais : soit en linkant une recette, soit en mettant un simple intitulé ("Restes" - "Repas rapide tout prêt..." - ... etc.). Pouvoir intervertir les jours pour simple glisser-déposer est super pratique, le remplissage auto par détection d'un lien copié est juste fantastique. Seuil problème : l'option remplissage auto de la liste de course à l'air bien sauf que l'icône n'apparaît pas chez moi, dommage...

### 5/5 — Absolutely Incredible

*2018-09-29, version 1.6.0*

I’ve been on this app for less then a minute and I’m still waiting for the part where it asks me to purchase something to add more weeks... I’m up to 22 weeks and nothing! This is incredible and so many options! Thank-you for making such an easy way to help plan meals for the family (or whoever) and all organized in one place. I love it and I would pay for it but glad I don’t have to!
