Reviews for Prepear - Meal Planner, Grocer

My favorite meal planning app. I like that I have the option to scroll through their recipes or add my own. I've had some trouble with the feature that is supposed to add all the ingredients from my plan onto my grocery list. It seems to miss a lot of items. I just add each recipe into the list individually instead, so it's not much of a problem. Overall super happy though.

There's a lot that I love about this app and I've used it for years, but it seems to end up with different glitches coming up all the time. The current one(s) is when i click the Walmart button to shop it just brings me to the Walmart home page and doesn't actually search my items in my list, so i have to manually search each item. I've tried to contact prepear, but it requires a login on my website and I can't login

Used to be an amazing app, but now it's nothing more than the food section of Pinterest. Actually, it's worse since now I can't even access my recipes. When I click on them, it just blows up the picture and won't give me an ingredient list, directions, or anything. I was really holding out hope they would bring back features and work out the bugs, but now I think it's time to break up with Prepear. Back to Pinterest I go.

this app has a lot going for it, but some significant shortfalls at the moment. The biggest shortfall is cost, if you want to subscribe to one of the meal plans - $10 per month. The other big shortfall is content - there is a recipe "feed", but very few bloggers contributing to it at the moment...the grocery list can be tricky, make sure you are using the same "measurement" across recipes, but even then results are iffy. HOWEVER I love having a menu planner and place to store recipes, share, etc

Keeps freezing whenever I try to add ingredients to the grocery list. The recipes look good, but I'm better off using Pinterest for ideas with how ridiculously slow this app runs. This would be worth it if y'all optimized your app a little more, but until then, pass. Also, the subscription price is ridiculous, and not worth 120$. For the cost of ad free Hulu for a year, this app will LET you read a recipe. Disgusting. There has to be better apps out there that aren't trying to bleed you dry.

I usually do not do reviews. But this app, hands down, deserves a 10 star out of 5. It took me 2 hours to find it, but it was so worth it. I wanted an app on my phone, but where I could get on my PC to edit and add. It was the only one with a free option that is worth anything. Add recipes on the PC is super easy once you get the hang of it. You can share recipes with whoever. You can view all your recipes of your daily planner, which helps since I travel a lot.

I love that the app has a shopping list automatically created by recipes and makes meal planning so much easier. It is also easy to add new recipes and adjust the serving size for recipe ingredients. The one major thing I do not love is that my boyfriend and I cannot have individual accounts and share the same meal plan for the week. He can view my meal plan but not add or edit it. This app is not meant if you are co-planning meals with someone.

Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled and now the app seems to be fine...editing to 3 stars from 1...will reserve judgment until I've used it more. Orig: My review disappeared...how strange. Reposting, I don't know what happened in yesterday's update, but the app no longer works. I just get a blank white screen when I open it. Yesterday I was able to plan my meals for the week and create a grocery list, but today, nothing. Not good since I needed my grocery list today!

Update changed or took away the entire reason I got this app after searching for hours to find a good one. You can't import recipes anymore, just bookmark the original site. Then when you scroll to the directions, pop us repeatedly block everything. If I wanted to bookmark a website, I could do that on my phone, tablet or computer. I don't need an app to bookmark. PUT IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS! It was so much better before the update made it useless.

I've been using this app for 2 weeks now and absolutely love it! Not only are the recipes really easy and delicious, my kids love them too! I think the "Prepear mode" while cooking a recipe, to show on half the screen your ingredients and the other half the instructions, is genius. But I think my favorite part is the shopping feature and how it auto-populates the ingredients into a search. I haven't stepped foot in a grocery store in 2 weeks and it has been wonderful.

Love this app! I can easily save all of the web recipes that I find and can easily put them on my menu and my phone doesn't lock while I'm cooking :-) I have only been using the free part and it is awesome! Update: the part that takes you to the website instead of saving it is FIXED! You can now save recipes again. The meal plan part is awesome too. Seriously....this app will make your life MUCH easier! Try it!

I love this app! I've used it for years and always come back when I try something new. However, I am no longer able to add photos to my recipes unless I take a new picture. I usually take pictures in advance, while making the recipe, and then manually enter the recipe in later when I'm not busy. It's a total hassle to have to enter in the recipe, not be able to use the pic I took and then have to wait until I make it again and hopefully remember to take another pic for the recipe.

I love this app! I meal plan on a weekly basis and have come up with my own system, but it would take too long. This has all I need in one spot digitally. I love that you can save some of your own recipes from the web, create cookbooks and add to your grocery list. I also love that it keeps track of whats in your pantry. I also love the feature that connects to Walmart grocery. I do wish there were stores you could pick from and connect to other stores. But other than that I am living it!

Not sure what happened but please fix! After years of using, & recommending, this ap just doesn't work well anyore. It crashes repeatedly and recipes open to blank pages. Not seeing any updates or anything to fix it. 😕 I have so many recipes I have added over the years I am now trying to figure out where to move them. 😞 3/23 Update: now the Walmart shopping link doesn't work either.

Prepear is an easy way to find yummy, healthy meals and put then in your meal plan easily. It creates a shopping list divided by category and it is easy to check off as you get each item. It also has a pantry where you can tell it the staple ingredients you always have and don't need to buy. Definitely an app you should get to simplify and organize mean planning.

App was good, rescheduling meals is a bit awkward, but fine. What ruins the app for me is that adding ingredients to the grocery list from the recipes skips ingredients. The first time I hope I just did something wrong, but it has happened multiple times and there's no point in using it for me anymore when there's alternatives.

I absolutely love this app! It's super easy and convenient to use! I have a lot of allergies and it takes that into consideration when finding recipes. I can even edit the recipes that I have found. It makes meal preparation easy and fun! They merged my recipe list with my grocery list for FREE! This is the best app I've ever used hands down!

Really like to ease of the app, I am able to add my own receipes and recipes from the internet. Then I can put my weeks menu together and it is supposed to create a grocery list. I only gave it three stars because i could not add any more recipes from the internet. For some reason it keeps giving me an error and takes me back to the last recipe I saved.

I absolutely LOVE this app. It's been such a great tool to keep my family in healthy eating. I love browsing recipes, you know, if I have some chicken in the freezer I don't know what to do with, and being able to just add the ingredients to my shopping list... I've been pressuring my family members to use this, too, because I want my "What's Cookin'?" feed to be FULL, but they haven't jumped on this train yet. It's awesome to be able to search for low carb recipes that take 30 minutes or less in the french cuisine for dinner. The search parameters are sure to keep everyone pleased. The only thing I wish we could do, especially at this time of year, is create multiple shopping lists. Things pop into my head for gifts and I want to add them to a christmas shopping list. I have a specific event I'm cooking for, and I don't want it to mix with my home grocery list. You know, stuff like that. Anyway, MUCH LOVE to the Prepear team. You guys ROCK. Go hug a kitten for me. ;)

Galaxy Phones (like my S9+) are currently not loading the recipe discovery menu. Effectively, you can search for things and find them but you can't just mindlessly scroll. You can type "tuna" and find a bunch of tuna related stuff, for instance. Going to the website + Desktop mode is a workaround for now. App is otherwise great so I haven't factored this bug into my rating. I'm stupid tired so won't talk about why I took a star off too much but the tldr is just that I haven't been able to use the app much due to this bug. I'll be actually using my PC instead to find and add my recipes and once that's done I'll use the app and have a full proper review. I don't want to mention perceived missing features only to find them. >.>
