totally confusing!
Man, this is the only app I have that takes forever to open! ........ I definitely regret buying this app!
Randomly lost all the data I had. Need it back but not seeing any option to reach support
I've installed the recent update but my app is hung on the logo screen. It doesn't open even after waiting for like an eternity. I used to love this app, it provided a very simple interface to organise my meals but it's been extremely frustrating lately.
Once I paid to remove adds, I signed in, everything was gone and adds came back again with the option to pay again. All my meals were gone gone. Wasted time. It looked too good to be true.
Epic Fail!
I paid for an ad free version and still getting ads
Won't go beyond loading screen
Missing manual backup and restore option?
Totally not user friendly
Very bad app
Tags are easily duplicated. After I had three weeks of planned meals I noticed I could "sign in" to have an account with the app. I did and lost EVERYTHING. All the recipes, all the meal planning, and all the insane tags consolidation progress I had made from the ridiculous easy from wich tags can be duplicated. If it weren't for the lost of all my data, I would have tried to make it work. I liked how clean and easy to navigate it was.
The program has started to blink and it doesn't stop. All actions are frozen. I reinstalled it several times and it didn't help. Please fix this problem.
Yeet
I used to really like this app but unfortunately when I just signed in under the assumption that doing so would save all of my meals to my Google account so I could pull it up on another device, I was absolutely furious to find that everything I had saved had been deleted. I can't see how to get it back and it took a considerable amount of time to set up. This app has potential but deleting everything I have done without warning is beyond frustrating. I advise you to look elsewhere.
Menu to shopping list is not that great. When i plain a meal i already entered i have to uncheck menu items in shopping list
I've been searching for a simple meal planning app for a long time, and this is it! Love how easy it is to use. The sharing options on this app are great too. Edit: I LOVED this app. I used it everyday. I'm not sure what happened to it, but it is HORRIBLE now. It takes forever to pull up my stored meals and half the time it crashes. The format is different too. Why try to fix something that wasnt broken?! Can we go back to the old app please?!?! From 5 stars to 1.
Latest update rendered this app useless as of March. I used it regularly prior with no problem. Very upset now that it doesn't even open to view my stored dishes. :(
اسوء برنامج
the new version crashes most of the time... i didnt experience it with the old ver
Too hard to share with family upgrade made it terrible
The new update ruined the app. Not only can i not change the week starting day, i cant delete stuff off the shopping list now.
Are you kidding me?! I've had this app installed for months. Dozens of recipes and ingredients lists GONE. From an unauthorized update with a worse interface and all that data just gone. What a waste of time it was getting this app. Thanks for nothing!
I absolutely HATE the last update. It looks horrible and is a lot less functional. It was a nice, simple and easy to use app to plan and see your week's meals at a glance and now it is not. The widget is gone, my saved dishes are gone, it's like a complete different app... But the new design is undoubtedly the worst. I honestly wish there was a way to get the last version back.
Just reinstalled on my new phone and the whole format changed, the layout is gone, just a plain row of dates, what happened?? I signed in to my old account, but I can't plan my week like I used to. Is it a problem in an update? Plz fix asap
Upgrade is less user friendly.
I loved it until they updated it. The old one was so easy to use. When it updated it erased all of my recipes. It is now super slow and won't let me add any meals.
Loved this app before new update. Hate it now!!! Please bring back old version.
I have been using this app for years and it had all of my ingredients and recipes until the update. I've spent hours and hours over the years inputting all of my data and now it's all gone. I'll be starting from scratch with a different app.
sampah
Please, give back old version.
Seemed to be just what i was looking for, simce i only need it for dinner planing, but once i got into it it had side dishes as main dishes & vice versa. I dont want to feed my family 3 different protiens & nothing else. It would also be better if it had more variety. Uninstalled it & looking for another app.
This app appears to be just what I'm looking for as it's simple and I believe can be accessed by different users on different devices, so the whole family can view and edit the plan. Unfortunately it does not work in its current state. Half the buttons do not work, you cannot add any dishes or meals and the days of the week have disappeared. I can see that this is a beta version of the latest update. There are clearly some major bugs that need to be resolved to make this app functional.
Dreadful update has ruined one of my favourite apps! Please sort this out, currently unusable 😡
Loved it before the upgrade. Now the full week doesn't fit on the one screen. Will be looking into other apps to move over to
Not showing Sunday anymore on my plan. It just goes from Saturday to Monday. Looks like I'm having a short weekend.
App has started behaving weirdly after getting updated
Used this app for years but now it won't load. Can't see my shopping list, weekly plan and recipe.
Its help me a lots....sory i hate this apps...i need the old one.
I have used this app for a long time and loved it. But since update I cant use app not friendly to use. The shopping list shows all ingredients for all dishes, meals appear and disappear. How can i clear the shopping list and only show items from current week? Where is help feature? Please would really appreciate any tips on how to use the updates. I'm trying real hard to adjust to the update.
Straight forward and simple to use but when I go to export my shopping list to an email; it keep stating that there are no items - but on the apps there are plenty of item. This is frustrating.
Was great until last updates. Nothing works, meals keep appearing and disappearing, dish list loads forever, switching between weeks takes forever. Also much worse design wise, it's not clear and nice anymore. You could have made more than free columns for meals before, now you only got three. I've never regretted updating something more.
Simple app but the one thing that does not work is it counting the correct amount of days from when I ate the same food. If I list that I ate pizza 5 days ago, it says I ate that 200 days ago. Other than that every else works. Wish they would get that fixed
Such a good app but when you go on it you can't see the days of the week or wear to add the food
