În aplicația Meal planning poți să îți faci lista de cumpărături aferentă meniului săptămânal din Meal planning de care te poți ține. În versiunea actuală: - Poți alege felurile de mâncare pe care le gătești - Poți selecta numărul de persoane pentru care gătești - Poți modifica lista în funcție de ce alte cumpărături ai de făcut sau de ce ai deja în casă, ca să nu cumperi lucruri care nu-ți sunt necesare După selectarea acestor variabile, ți se generează o listă pe care o poți lua cu tine la cumpărături și în care poți bifa ce ai pus deja în coș. Aplicația se actualizează în fiecare vineri cu noul meniu Meal planning de care te poți ține, dar poți opta să nu se actualizeze, în cazul în care dorești să faci încă preparate din meniul precedent.

DiMeals plans your week of meals, turns it into a shopping list, and tells you what each meal cost, using your own prices. HOW IT WORKS You plan the week. You get the shopping list. You shop. With Premium you scan the receipt and the prices land where they belong and stay there for next time. Without it you type them in yourself. WHAT YOU GET • 64 ready-written recipes, with steps, quantities and timings, in English, Romanian and German. • A library of 257 products with their nutrition values. • Weekly planning: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, with portions for each meal. • A shopping list built from the plan, which takes into account what you already have at home. • Prices kept as a log: a new price is added, it does not erase the old one. • Your own recipes, typed by hand or brought in from text, with notes that stay on the recipe. • A daily calorie goal, worked out from your own figures. • A backup in a single file that you carry to your next phone. FREE AND PREMIUM Everything you enter yourself stays free: your recipes, your plan, your list, your prices and your daily goal. Premium is for what DiMeals does for you: scanning of receipts, labels and recipes; filling the week by price, by goal and by what you already have; the cost of every meal and every portion, worked out from your prices; calories per recipe and for your own portion. Nutrition figures are estimates calculated from ingredients. DiMeals is not a medical device and does not give medical advice. YOUR DATA Your recipes, plan, list, prices and photos are stored on your own phone. Scanning needs an account, because the reading happens on a server. The account holds your email address, how many scans you have made, and the date your subscription ends. The photo or text you send to be read is not kept by us. The reading is done by a provider in the European Union, and what you send is not used to train models; the details are in the privacy policy. You can delete your account from inside the app, and the deletion is real. The rest of the app works without an account. THE SUBSCRIPTION A monthly or yearly subscription that renews on its own until you cancel it in your App Store account settings. The price and currency are shown by the App Store before you confirm. For eligible accounts the monthly plan starts with 14 free days, once only. Eligibility is decided by the App Store, not by the app. If the subscription ends, everything you entered stays: your recipes, your plan, your list, your prices and your backup.
