Menu Planner App Reviews

Its an okay app if all your looking for is what you want for your groceries, but if your wanting something to aid you in weight loss or watching calories this app doesnt work unless your willing to put in the work to enter every recipe and foods calories manually. Nutrition is also ignored. As bad as that sounds as London as your willing to be your own nutritionist this app will work great.

This is a great app for meal planning and grocery shopping! Invest a bit of time upfront to load in your recipes, and be sure to use standardized naming conventions ( eg use Flour, All Purpose or All Purpose Flour, but not both). Will make your lists one together a lot more smoothly!

Love this app! It meets my need for a grocery list, meal planner, recipe book, and combines them in so many ways I havent even finished discovering all its features! I especially love the ability to import recipes, and carry over the items to your grocery list.

Love this app!!! What a great way to pick new recipes and plan your meals, plus keep your groceries list!!

Too many features, too much stuff, too complex. Not very user friendly. It seems like it does pretty much everything youd want, but no way Ill use this on a daily basis.

So disappointed there is only 5 items in ingredients!! What a waste of money and time. Once they have uploaded a database of at least basic food this app will be fantastic. Until then not worth the money at all unless youve got loads of time to enter all the foods you eat. And if you eat healthy with lots of variety expect to spend hours on entry before you can truly use the app as intended.

Fantastic app - this is really changing the way we do meals and shopping and is making it so much easier for us to plan and organize. We are not wasting as much food, and we are eating better. It takes a little while to figure out simply because there is so much that the program can track but it is well worth the effort and will save us lots of time.

Who knew that a menu and meal planning app had to be so complicated!? Seriously, adding recipes and subsequent ingredients to your lists is a PAIN! Furthermore, there arent enough reviews for you to properly gauge exactly how useful this app is. Let me spell it out for you. DO. NOT. GET. THIS. APP!! This is a muddied mess of an app. I’ll be attempting to get my money back for this piece of junk, not because 2.99 is a lot, but because of the principle of it. I don’t want these people to have my money to make another TERRIBLE app with.

This program is a bit too complicated to navigate. I could not, for example, find an easy way to remove an item from my menu. Also, not sure what all the check marks mean. This is getting deleted from my iPad.

I got that app and never used it as I have no idea how to start. it is complicated and not intuitif. I could surely use it, if it was more user friendly. I am a cook not a computer whizz!

There is a lot to learn from all the features that are available to you in this very detailed and expansive menu, recipe, shopping list app. Log recipes, and take pictures of the meal. Track ingredients in your fridge or pantry and instantly you can see which recipes can be made or not. Especially useful for me while juicing, to keep track of the vegetable and fruit supply and to see at a glance what juicing recipe I can use today. Of course when you run out, and have made the menu for the week, it is easy as pie to create the shopping list. You dont even need to put it on paper. Just bring the app with you and check off your list as you go.

I have no complaints about this app at all. Ive been looking for quite a while to find a meal-planner that I dont need to pay a monthly subscription for. This is definitely the answer. I also didnt have any problems with it, none of the numerous features were at all complicated or difficult to use. I love the recipe importer too! What a smart way to do it. 5 stars are well deserved.

There is a learning curve but that is what makes it such a useful and powerful app. The forums are very helpful and the author is right there to answer questions and appreciate suggestions/feedback. It actually has me wanting to cook again!

Ive only just begun to enter food items and recipes and to track my calories and I see so many good things in this program. It will be better when nutrition is calculated in the recipes and if we can eventually meal plan for multiple family members.

The program has parts to it. Ingredients for recipes and food in the pantry to use in meals. The check marks are well placed to indicate various categories ie ingredient. I use the points to input the insulin I need for the food portion and the program adds it up for me or displays the carbs and totals that per meal. Items delete with swipes as most programs use this method. The recipe creation is great. Ingredients used in menus appear in the food list and if you delete the item it asks for the standard ingredient in your pantry to place in the recipe. Recipes are listed under each ingredient. Items can display by category, you create, of A-Z. Recipes can be scaled. In meals more than 1 portion can be used. Use nutrition information from food packets or just leave blank. This is truly designed to be your program and as much as you input and use it, the more it will give you in return. Well thought out in design.

This is by far the best meal planner/shopping list/ keeping track of menu apps in the iTunes Store. I just wished it looked better.

I love this app. Helps me stay very organized. Only one thing I would like to have... A way to track when an item is on sale then once you clear your list it goes back to default prices.

Couldnt delete things from my menu, couldnt upload recipes from most websites, couldnt get nutritional information from barcodes. The check mark system is complicated, the advanced pantry system while good in theory was quite complicated because the nutritional information and serving size was not automatically included with the barcode.

Ive been using this for years. I have lost all my recipes that for simplicity sake were set up as ingredients. I can not load them in the meals and Ive lost my weekly view which was critical.

Ive been using this app for over a year and I love it. I love that it integrates with my pantry and tells me when Im low on ingredients. I love that I can enter coupons and keep track of prices. I love that it switches aisle order when I shop at a different store. Its easy to import recipes and menu planning is actually fun. this is probably one of my all time favourite apps and they call me the APP Queen, so thats saying something. :)
