Meal Maker (Free)

Ive been looking for something like this for years An app that will create a grocery list without endless hours of data entry There is some work involved but its easy and well worth it I would like to see an option that allows adding to the shopping list though              Great App

I really love this app it has made it so much easier to plan meals for my family We are trying to eat healthier and not eat out as much to save money and this app makes it much more manageable to do that I love how it builds a shopping list for you based on the ingredients you need and that I can store my recipes so making the shopping list is quicker the next time that I want to use a specific recipe because I dont have to enter the ingredients again I do have to agree with Jeffs suggestions to make this app more efficient though Alphabetizing recipes is a biggie and having a database of ingredients would make entering them in a lot faster Despite those things though I really appreciate this app and I look forward to an updated version              Great start to a great app

Add ability to email recipes add sending invite or email for a meal Cant see the days meals once set up only options are to delete add or edit the day Add ability to see the meal for the day Move add ingredient button to top     Add email for recipe

Theres a bug in the shopping list feature If you make a menu plan for a week with all the ingredients for each meal one would think that hitting Shopping List at the bottom of the app would grab all those ingredients But it doesnt Boo Bad app        Buggy

Its a lot of work to use and not very user friendly for example you have to manually add a dayweek instead of just selecting the day from a calendar Good idea but Ill look for something better        Meh

This is exactly what I want It allows you to build up your own recipes with your own ingredients I do not want the existing recipes on the Internet and I love developing my own So those guys who leave one star for this app not providing online recipes dont take it wrong There are tons of that kind of planner apps in the store and this one is simply not for you The app could be better if it 1 Allows rearranging orders of recipes Otherwise it could be difficult to find one out of hundreds 2 Gives a view that minimizes dates and displays all meals of one week In the current view you have to click on each date to see the planned meal And you can only view the meals of one day at a time 3 Allows adding items besides recipe ingredients That will make the app more useful and complete 4 Has an ingredient database like the recipes In that case we dont have to type every time You can also merge items in your shopping list if one ingredient is used in multiple dishes Now I will get two mushroom x1entries instead of one mushroom x2 in my shopping list if I do two mushroom dishes 5 Has a done or ok in the keyboard so as to hide the keyboard when you are done typing in the ingredient This is common practice Otherwise the third ingredient entry is hidden under the keyboard              Very nice app Can be even better

I was able to add the days and meals I could also add categories and save recipes However I would need to see sorting everywhere such as in the shopping list and categories It would also be nice that when I select the day it went right to view I would also like to add misc items to the shopping list such as paper products detergents and so on not necessarily a part of the meal but needed in that shopping trip Not an extremely intuitive program but I got around it           Handy but needs some things

I was really excited when I found this app at first When looking at your recipes you have to press a different button to view the instructions then you have to go back a page to see the ingredients again Really inconvenient to have to go back and forth when cooking Also when your typing in the recipes you cant turn the keyboard when putting in the instructions to make the keyboard bigger And on top of it the page doesnt follow your typing so when you get to the bottom the keyboard covers up what your writing This app is not user friendly at all and Im deleting it now     Not user friendly

I am unable to select an existing menu I have to create a new recipe each time I want to plan a meal     Not what I thought itd be

I cannot believe how incredible this app is Its just as fast to use this app as it is to write it down Its exactly what Ive been looking for to plan every meal for my family Its simple to the point without any fluff or learning curve I can quickly add one day or a week with just a click Thank you for keeping it simple                 Best Menu Planning app Ever

I was looking for something just like this Not a calorie counter not filled with fancy recipes just a place I can store my OWN recipes Room for improvements but a great start              Simple Just what I need

I like the app but I wish you could add items to the shopping list yourself Please add a button           Almost perfect

Works as it says love that you can email shopping lists I gave it 3 stars simply because I wish you could add more items to she shopping list itself If I need paper products or toiletries I can just tap and add Fix that and Id give it 5 Thanks for the app           Loving the simplicity

I tried the free version first Only had it for a day and I already love it Going to buy the full version before I waste time to add more of my favorite recipes                 Just what I wanted

There are better apps but I thought Id try it           Its okay

This is a simple app that is perfect so planning and scheduling meals However it doesnt allow you to edit the dates For example if I decide that Id rather make chili on May 20 instead of the 18th I cant just change the date associated with chili I have to recreate the entire meal for the 20th Thats irritating if Ive spent time putting in the all of the ingredients        Nice but

Very nice tool the only thing that i would add is a way to import the recipes                 Excellent

Easy to use helpful with family meal planning Easily converts recipe items into a shopping list that you can email and can save your recipes so you can pick from the list to repeat next week if you want Needs a way to sync it to another persons phone so that my spouse and I can both have the app and sync up grocery list meal plan and recipe              Good simple format

Really like this app The menus make sense once you click around a bit Its got enough complexity if you need it like detailed recipe instructions yet you can also just use it for simple meal planning if you dont need to record the instructions for a meal I didnt have the nav errors others mentioned                 Works great

How in the world do you enter a simple menu on a single day I tap the date and it gives me a drop down menu for breakfast lunch and dinner But I cant enter any info What the     Frustrated

Could you please update so we can add more that 3 meals a day And please let us name those meals freely breakfast preworkout after workout lunch snack 1 etc etc           Nice and simple but

Almost exactly what Im looking forthis app has the ability to store recipes and then use them to create weekly meal plans Would be much more user friendly if I could store the recipes in specific categories for example soups chicken beef vegetarian etc or at least be able to store the recipes in alphabetical order so that I can quickly find a recipe I am looking for           Just a little bit more would help

I like this simple easy to use meal maker app very much However it could be much better if I can rearrange the ingredients because they seem to be scrambled after I input them in order And how come there is only one chance to save our recipe After I input some other ingredient or if I change my instructions and want to overwrite the old recipe it wont allow me to do so These are the things that hold me back from giving this app a higher praise I would certainly resubmit this review if there is an update later on           Good but could be better

Like the overall idea of the app                 Eddy

I may purchase this app once I get used to it Its great for planning meals days or weeks at a time and the interface is somewhat simple just have to play with the recipe builder              Perfect App

I like the overall idea of the app Every time I try to add a new recipe category the app crashes           Tweak

I got the app since itwas free The shopping lists and instructions are easy to edit and use great overall for organizing and planning              Great for quick organization

This app was really difficult to use Nice clean minimalistic design but not intuitive at all When swiping through different recipes sections and meal plans I couldnt figure out how to make it do what I wanted I had a really hard time adding recipes to meal plans and I eventually gave up     Very confusing

I only need to plan dinners and cant figure out how to delete the breakfast and lunch Also is there a way to show the date you are planning for when on the meal screen Additionally I found navigating back to main menu was cumbersome I think a list would do just as well        Cumbersome

Not user friendly need instructions but other that once I learned to use it it was great           Love and hate

this is the perfect app for people who love to be organized and plan out their meals for the week                 I love this app

This is a good app as far as it goes I was looking for a place where my recipes and shopping lists could easily overlap I am an experienced cook in a house with many food peculiarities so I did not want to work with someone elses recipes or ingredient list All other apps offer more than I need so I end up doing lots of workaround s I love the simplicity and cleanness of this app And I appreciate that it treats me like a grownup instead of someone whos never stepped foot in a kitchen before But I dont think its going to work in the long haul It wont actually be a time saver unless it adds a database of ingredients so I dont have to re enter common ingredients every time I enter a new recipe a way to alphabetize recipes and ingredients a way to see a week or months worth of meal plans at a time a better interface when it comes to entering menus a way to indicate plans to eat out or eat leftovers This sounds like a lot of complaints but Im giving it 3 stars because I have a lot of hope for the future of this app           A good start

This is the best app Love it just what I was looking for                 Perfect

This is a great concept but it takes too long to put all the recipes in I want to be able to store all my recipes here but I cant just sit here and type them all Into my phone I wish there was a way to connect it to my computer or at least be able to paste a picture of the directions           Wish it was available on my computer

This app is so stupid I was looking for like food that you can make well I mean the tittle even says food maker so all of us can make food like a game of making food but all it is is to keep your recipes thats why I gave it one star and all of you should give it one star unless you like this app than your weird     Poop

Need to be able to add items to the shopping list yourself When that happens ill pay for the add free version     Needs to allow us to add items to the shopping list

This app is nice but it could be better I would like it if I could organize my recipes Also if I could copy a recipe since I have some that are mainly the same with slight variations Overall it is a good app           Could be better

I like this app for its simplicity and ease of use It has exactly what I was looking for a place to write down my dinner menus for the week The options for adding recipes its definitely a plus The one thing that Im not fond of is not being able to delete the Breakfast and Lunch menu options I only want to use this for dinner menus busy working mom of 3 boys and all and if I had the option to delete the breakfast and lunch spots it would be great Other than that one issue I give it a 5 star                 Very useful
