I used to use this app all the time: 5 stars, great app. I got a new phone and have tried to use it and now I can't get past the set up reminders screen, so I can't even begin to use the app anymore. It is essentially bricked.
can't even create an account. app is broken.
helpful for staying organized but there are two big issues. One there's a glitch when typing recipes yourself where the keyboard covers what you are writing. and the second thing is when uploading your own recipes they do not show the ingredients with each step after you are finished which can make it confusing to keep up with. otherwise great app
I downloaded the app maybe 20 minutes ago and I can't get past the page that asks you. if you want to set up a reminder, I tried closing the app five times. I tried selecting my preferences and not selecting any preferences. it's frozen on that page. it won't let me go forwards only back
the app pooped me out without letting me finish the registration. worthless🤷♂️
I can't even get past the setup because it gets stuck on the reminder step. I can't complete it or bypass it. So, it's effectively defunct.
Most recipes are only available by paying for Pro now
Stupid. I can't create an account and use the app because the app is stating that I'm offline when clearly I'm not. Waste of time
can't get past the "set reminder" page at The start of the app. will adjust rating later if fixed
This app is taking the joy out of cooking for me. I only use it because my wife uses it. The recipes are horribly written, with far too many steps (seemingly directed at people who are cooking for the 1st time), and all over the place. For example, the recipe I'm preparing today has me cut a jalapeno and put it in a bowl. Then it explains how to cook chicken, and five steps later I'm adding the rest of the ingredients to the bowl with the jalapeno for dressing. Use this if you want ADD
I still love this app but their ability to get timely updates out is really disappointing. As of this time it's been 3 months since any updates have come out. Makes our meal selection a little stale, even paying for the pro versioy
Alike a few other reviews..Can't even go past notification/ reminder page. duh!
like others say it won't let you sign up past the notifications part
Android app is now neglected. used to update with new meals every month. currently the "recently created" are over 4 months old. it's frustrating to not get updates, especially as a pro member. will be looking for a replacement
wish you could delete meal plans Edit- this app is actually unusable now
installed app. hit the sign up link. it gets stuck on send notifications. tried several times. same outcome
couldn't sign up
can't get past meal planning reminder on initial sign up. tried 10+ times, uninstalled and reinstalled. waste of time.
if I didn't have to give a star, I wouldn't. I can't get past the "weekly reminder" page. I can't even make an account. I've uninstalled and retired. same issue. sorry I couldn't try your app. won't be trying it again.
new recipes are always slow. it's February 1, 2026 the newest recipes are from November 2025
this app was good but now i am paying a monthly fee and they have added no meal plans for 3 months
AWFUL AVOID AVOID AVOID Doesn't offer British English. Most of the vegetables use American names. Unusable. No idea what I'm supposed to buy. As far as I'm aware, Americans don't eat vegetables anyway.
can't get past the "set a weekly reminder" screen. it simply does not allow you to click anything, thus being stuck within setting up the app and cannot use it.
I used to love this app but the developers have known about the share function not working for Android users for over a year now and haven't changed anything. The only reason I wanted the app was to share the link with my calorie counter so now the app is completely unusable for me. They also hardly change the recipes and if they do it always has some random ingredient that doesn't go with the dish.
Gets stuck on the setting notifications page
gets stuck on the sign up and won't let me proceed no matter what I do. trash.
The app is not working. stuck in the set up section on the meal plan notification page.
wouldn't let me create account
Unfortunately, the app got stuck at the weekly meal plan date & time. I was looking forward to using this app, but now I need to find something else.
One of my saved recipes that I took time to make, doesn't show up in 'My Recipes'. Seems like a design flaw.
great app. The only downside is that I can't chooe to use Kroger for online shopping even though Kroger delivers to my area. There are no physical Kroger stores near me, which is the only thing this app searches for. Kroger has distribution centers in many areas where there are no physical stores.
great idea, I just didn't find the recipes they offered appealing
I've been using this app for years, but in recent months it continuously crashes and loses its server connection. When it works it works well, but I am worried about these issues and the app's longevity.
very annoying app. you start cooking and every 30 seconds it throws an add. very unusable
