What's New in Wholesum

3.0.1

March 4, 2026

Description Update: This app is for existing Wholesum users only

User reviews

Great complement to the web app.

It has helped streamline our shopping. Heads up to new users that this is not a standalone app, you’ll need to do the heavy lifting on the web app and then use the mobile app for your shopping only. That said, it’s great at what it’s designed for!

Great addition to web platform

I love Wholesum for how easy it makes group planning for camping trips. It’s saved a lot of frustration that comes from winging it, ie everyone bringing chips and no one bringing ingredients for actual meals, or missing a key ingredient because everyone figured someone else was picking it up. This app makes it even easier, letting me coordinate with friends on the fly. It’s simple and easy to use, so I can easily check things off as I go without having to jump through fancy hoops.

Very Useful App

This was so handy for shopping and packing our meal plans on the go! Saved so much time and I like that it allowed multiple users at once.
I was a little surprised by some of the negative reviews - this app clearly states that it is meant for only this component of Wholesum’s offerings and that recipes and meal plans are created on a desktop browser first - the negative reviews appear to be from people who didn’t read the full instructions.
Highly recommend!

Hi good guy1233456777: You're right - this app is meant to be used in tandem with the web platform. The mobile app is just used for shopping lists from meal plans created in your web browser. Feel free to sign up at www.wholesum.app to start building meal plans!

There is no way for me to make an account from the app, and when I finally logged in and created an account from the internet page, the screen is almost totally white except for the name of the app at the top. Why???
