Such a great app, and I've tried MANY. It allows you to input meals without fuss, and because I'm a mom who doesn't enjoy chicken nuggets for dinner, I can input 2 different dinners or lunch ideas to accommodate the toddlers and the allergies. Hooray! Meals can be tagged, which I use to tag chicken, beef, seafood, onepot, quick, etc. meals, which is great when I'm planning. I just type the tag quickly, and all my previous recipes with that tag come up. App even includes snacks if you want!
Reviews for Meal Planner-Plan Weekly Meals
i'm brand new to the whole "cooking for yourself" thing, and this app has been a total life changer! i like that the free version has everything you need for the basics. The layout is simple, and the features are easy to use. Even if I needed to use the premium features, it wouldn't be a problem because it's crazy affordable. After having a hard time finding apps that actually help me organize anything, I'm happy to say this one has REALLY changed that! RECOMMENDED!!!
This app seems to be what I was looking for. My only criticism is that if I put a meal on the wrong day (or change my mind about the day) I can't easily change the date to what I would like it to be. I have to delete the whole entry and manually enter it into the day I would like. I have the paid version so I wish this was an option. Edit: developers emailed me immediately after this post and showed me how to drag and drop the meal to the correct day. Thank you!
So far so good. I paid for the premium since it was a very reasonable price. Not everything copies perfectly but that is to be expected. Grocery list option is handy. I love being able to have a list of what is in my pantry. It would be nice if the app could make recipe recommendations based on the ingredients that I have on hand, but that is the only feature that I feel is missing. Everything else is good (not perfect but definitely usable). I am a huge menu planner and this has helped me.
I started using this app because it has a list for Ingredients at Home. This is pretty important for me as I'm an amateur cook and I often don't know which ingredients go the best together, making it hard for me to see my pantry as a whole. However, certain features are limited as a free user: I can only save 5 recipes of my own in the Recipes section; can't clip new recipes automatically. Since I use Notion, this doesn't affect me much. Just an aside for others.
I recommend this non-caloric based app for digital meal planning. It's not entirely customizable to fit your aesthetic, but you can set a background photo. The grocery list function takes a couple tries to get the hang of because it's not a true checklist, and it doesn't automatically sort itself by aisle until you set ingredients to their aisle.
This is the ONLY app that I've found that actually helps me with wasting food. I have ADD/ADHD, & when fresh fruits and veggies go into my refrigerator, I completely forget their existence. I'm also prone to impulse shopping. With this app I can create my shopping list from my recipes for the amount of food I ACTUALLY need, and by plotting out my meals 2 weeks in advance, we've reduced our food waste by 80%. Without the app, $500 grocery bill. With? $167 Pro tip: Schedule "Leftover" meals
I am enjoying this app! Very simple and easy to use. I wanted a meal planner especially for dinners; I all too often come home and stare disconsolately into the fridge with no idea what to fix. This app allows me to schedule meals in advance, so all I have to do is look up what I've set for myself and fix it. I would love to have the ability to add sides separately from the main dishes. at least for dinner. I hope you'll consider it!
pretty handy. No frills and easy to plan meals. Easily look for recipes and attach them to meal plan. I would like to see a prompt before deleting an entry. Occasionally delete things by accident. An enhancement to the shopping list is to put list into categories, e.g. Produce, Frozen isle, Milk itself, dry food. Option to attach pictures in the shopping list not necessary. Add option to save meal_plans. I purchased the lifetime app and satisfied si far. Thank you.
Exactly what I need in a meal planner. Allows me to choose which meals to include (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks etc), and has a nice shopping list function. I like being able to add recipes from the web with the search function too. And the developers are very helpful - when a recipe from a site wouldn't load, they had an update out to fix it within a couple of days.
