Meal Maker. App Reviews

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

Almost exactly what Im looking for...this 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.

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!!

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

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

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!

I got the app since it,was free. The shopping lists and instructions are easy to edit and use. great overall for organizing and planning.

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

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

I like the app, but I wish you could add items to the shopping list yourself. Please add a "+" button!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

Like the overall idea of the app.

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

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.

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 x1"entries 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.

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.
