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.
Reviews for Prepear – Meal Planner, Grocer
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.
