Menu Planner App Reviews

I am very disappointed in the upgrade to this app. My shopping list is all out of order now and I cant expand or collapse items/recipes anymore. I used this all the time. I dont like that I have to hit an extra menu button either to switch between recipes, meal planning and items. I am not happy with what has been changed in an app that I used to love.

This is one of my favorite apps. It is so handy for making my ongoing store list and helping me plan dinners. The set-up is extensive, but I add ingredients as I go along. This is an invaluable tool! It does everything I hoped it would. Thank you for bringing back the week view!!!

This app used to be amazing. Now when Im making my shopping list many things from my pantry dont even show up!? So disappointed! Just did the latest update and no better. When adding items to my shopping list it doesnt recognize items that are permanently in my pantry and it wants to add them for one time use. So annoying! Please fix!!!!!

This is the only app I use anymore. Its easy, syncs across all my devices and with the website back importing recipes is easier than ever. THANK YOU!!!

I loved this app until a recent update. I lost all my data on iPad, but all of it showed up on my iPhone. I cant get them to sync. I sent a message to support but havent heard back. I really loved this app and want this fixed. Please HELP!

I have been a Menu Planner user for years, and it is easily my favorite way to organize my meals and snacks - has become especially useful since I began planning for the 21 Day Fix containers meal plan. The recent complete UI rehaul was a great refresh, app is much cleaner looking and even easier to use. Latest update appears to have fixed my only remaining gripe with the sync issues, and love that the week view came back on iPhone, I missed that.

Thank you for bringing the week view back!!! Without it this app was virtually useless!!!!!! And I think the drag and drop feature works too. Happy again and eternally grateful.

The big update shows all my ingredients in decimals. And 3/4 cups of flour isnt even .75, its rounded up to .8!!! Makes the app unusable. Fix please!!!!

I used to love this app and did my meal planning with it. Two updates ago the syncing broke and I lost recipes. Its got tons of usability issues now and its hard to get even basic stuff done. I feel like Im fighting with it all the time. It used to be so simple to add recipes to the shopping list and then check them off. Now it feels like everything takes three or four more clicks that it used to. I wish I could go back to the old version from a couple years ago.

Strong points: appealing interface, intuitive, and several handy views of your data. Opportunities: limited food database (but I can add my own so its not a huge deal), and I would love to see my macro nutrients on a pie chart. Daily for sure, and maybe a button to see them by meal too.

This app now has issues it didnt have before. I have probably thousands of recipes on this app and the lack of being able to use this app with multiple devices without having to sync and restore on different devices makes it difficult to use. My sync doesnt transfer correctly when uploading in other devices and makes it useless on my phone. If the data was online instead of app based this wouldnt be a problem. I understand they have plans to make it Internet based but are to busy trying to fix syncing issues and other problems to take the time to make it Internet based... Just make it Internet based and you would correct all the current syncing and file issues! Hoping it becomes Internet based in the near future or I will have to give up on it being a good use of my time.

Id give this 1 start, but it did seem to work at one point and Im hoping they get it fixed soon. It seems like every other update breaks more than it fixes. I used it quite a bit when I first got it about a year ago. Had started putting receipts in and was going to start using it for pantry tracking/grocery shopping. But the interface was a bit clunky and it fell out of use. I used it occasionally when it got updated, but there was always something that made it more work than it was worth. I started using it again a few weeks ago, and now its practically useless. My biggest complaints are its speed (slow to doesnt respond), and quantities. Examples: Enter 1/4 cup grated Parmesan in a recipe and the app converts it to .3 cups when you view the recipe. Open the recipe to edit, select the item, and its there as 1/4 cup. Also, at times items dont get added to menus when you click the "+" (as far as you can tell), but come back to that days menu plan later and its in there multiple times. And finally, sometimes I cant open a recipe from the menu plan from that day. I have to go to the sidebar menu, open the recipes list, and search for it.

Good app. Easy to use. Took me a few tries to learn how to sync recipes from other recipe cites. Love that you can add your own categories. Sometimes you may have to close the app, then re-open to get it to work correctly.

Few sites are supported, so "importing" recipes means bookmarking them, which doesnt allow interaction with the grocery list. The pantry is only pre-populated with a few items, and theres no quick way to add nutrition information. I might as well type my own book.
