I've been using the app for over a year and I LOVE it! My husband has it on his phone too, so it's super easy to meal plan, grocery shop, and cook without asking each other a million questions. I love the customizable features and that I can add my own recipes and notes.
Reviews for Real Plans – Meal Planner
There are a few awkward things in the UI but generally this works super well. The only big miss is that I can't send the play, recipes, and list to my husband who does all the cooking and shopping. I have to print it for him. He needs a read-only view of it.
So far, I'm not super pleased. Granted, there are A LOT of options for recipes, but I've had more frustration with scheduling than anything else. I try to change settings, but it seems to continuously pull from older settings making my new settings not function. Also, when I edited a recipe ingredient (b/c that is an option) it put that recipe for the rest of the week automatically when there had been a variety before. I'd love it if the app had a total reset function.
This has to be my favorite application on my phone. These recipes are the tastiest, easiest, and healthiest I have found anywhere. My wife and I have used dozens of recipe sources but this one is by far the best. It's worth every penny of the subscription. I absolutely love it. They could make the weekly meal planner ui a little easier to use.
I love the features in this app, the grocery lists, recipe importing, calendar style planning, but I wish more than one used could contribute. There are two cooks in the house and we can't both use the same account. I'd be ok with paying for both of us, but both being about to update the plan.
Real plans is the best! I use it for the AIP and it's exceptional for those with food restrictions OR anyone simply wanting to cook .. isn't that everyone? Yes it is! Real plans lets you choose what you enjoy, avoid what you don't, savea you money and helps you eat healthy .. just what everyone needs. Can't recommend this app highly enough! Use the free recipes or add your family favorites manually. It puts the plan together and your shopping list .. best thing ever!
App is hidden behind a paywall with no insights as to what to expect or trial period. After subscribing to see what it was about, I was met with a confusing interface where I had to put in my schedule. I immediately decided it was not for me and asked for a refund. 4 days later and no response. Not how I would do business but hope you enjoy my hard earned $25
unless you have an issue diet (gf, primal, vegan, etc...) then the recipes provided are not particularly worth much. But importing is great. Wish there was a way to hide recipes you didn't want shown as you have to keep scrolling through their recipes that you don't want. Update: another suggestion is to look at the way the notes in ingredients are set up. I'm an American living in the UK and so I import a lot of US recipes and the equivalent isn't always correct.
DO NOT PURCHASE any of the plans. Despite not having a refund policy anywhere on the website, they will not refund you. Honestly they're a class action lawsuit waiting to happen and I can't wait until it does. If you upgrade with the add-ons they still barely show any of those recipes in your meal plan. If you try to import recipes they never save and disappear right away. Recipes are bland, repetitive and boring.
BUYER BEWARE!!!! This app is expensive and costs way too much for what it offers. Save yourself time and money it has no redeeming qualities. But, like many other reviews state they will charge and charge and refuse to admit their practices are shady at best. Save your $30 mo or $49 quartely. They will bill without even a simple email. Also, customer service will refuse to refund your charges even with many calls and requests. DO NOT TRUST THEM.
