Plan Meals - MealPlanner for Android
I'm attempting to incorporate meal planning into my life, and so far this is the simple, intuitive app I need to fill the gap. I maintain a shared grocery list and recipes elsewhere. Really appreciate that it keeps meal names in memory for ease of re-entry.
Every time I make my list for the whole week and take my time planning it all out, right before I'm done there is a glitch and the entire thing gets erased!
Very good simple app. It would be helpfull if where would be a web for it. A nice feature would be to move (drag n drop) meals between days. Also it would be nice to add weight in recepies
I thought this was suppose to help make grocery list nope. it freezes up drops items amongst other this it frustrates me more than helps
It's a great app to plan your weekly meals and log recipes as well as make shopping lists. But it could use a few user friendly tweaks for ease of use, like the possibility to edit recipe names or be able to view a recipe by clicking on the meal in week view.
The ONLY thing I wish this had was a widget that you could see the current day/next day's menu. Hence the 4 stars but otherwise it is EXACTLY what I wanted.
This app is very simple and very eifficient! It helped me and mt wife plan our family meals hence saving us lots of money from eating out, repetitive meals, and unhealthy diet.
A solid app. On the verge of being great. I would like to see the ability to arrange shopping list items alphabetically. Or better, the ability to manually rearrange the list into, say, store section groups (paging up and down an extensive list as I traverse the store is inconvenient an quickly became annoying). Great start.
Does exactly what I was looking for, simple as that. I guess an improvement could be making it easier to swap whole meals around if you end up doing meals in a different order. I'm using this for our toddler's meals and obviously things don't always go as planned!
For a app that cost me $1.49 just to add a few more tabs should habe also included a place to download recipes. Some of us need a goto for recipes. Could use a few more tweaks like edit recipe names also to share recipes with other user. Hope if decide to add more features it wont cost more $$
This is a fantastic app! Straightforward and easy to use. Really enjoy the simple design. Helps me to stick with my meal plan by organizing my thoughts. Suggested changes: - Make it so you can change or add the name of the meal. For example on weekends I like having brunch. So instead of having breakfast or lunch, just make it so I can alter the name (or add a 'meal') - Another addition which would help is to make it so I can edit multiple days at once. I have the same thing for lunch every weekday, so making it so I can just edit mon-fri instead of copying and pasting the meal to each day would save time and make it more attractive (user friendly). Other than that, great purchase! Would suggest it.
I'm not looking for fancy, so this app does what I need! I can't speak for the grocery list/recipe features as I use different apps for those, but for just laying out a quick menu for the week, it serves it's purpose perfectly. My only "wish list" item would be a way to...swap (?) menus for different days. Sometimes I'll get to Wednesday and realize we'd rather have Thursday's meal that night, so it would be nice to be able to move menu items instead of deleting and re-adding.
It works for me! I am debating purchasing the full app however, it's just what I need right now. If you could save meals over multiple days that would be nice - especially since I have the same lunch everyday for a week basically. Overall, I'm very happy with how simple it is as well.
I love this app. Very easy to use and the designer takes on board any suggestions. I purchased the full app. Yet another suggestion for possible alteration: in the meals section 1) is it possible to edit/delete multiple previous entries.? 2) when you create a recipe, how do you then use this in your daily menu plan Thanks Keep up the fantastic work ???? any chance we could add pictures to each day too xx
This app is what I've been looking for for months!! Almost everything is user friendly and self-explanatory. My least favorite characteristic is that you can't just add recipes, you have to add them to your meal plan first. At least you can delete them from your meal plan without losing the recipes, once they're saved. There is also no way to auto-upload from a website - you have to manually add each ingredient/step at a time. Overall, this app is wonderful, and exactly what I wanted!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I don't need recipes, only a quick way to remember what I plan to eat. No unnecessary pictures, no long set up, it goes straight to the planning, great!
Does the job very simply. Able to create your recipes and add them repeatedly to the planner. A bit buggy at times, e.g. unable to delete some recipes, selecting some recipes take you to the planner instead of the recipe details page etc.
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! All of my recipes are in my head, but I need our daily menu written, organized and available to me on the go. I've paid monthly fees for numerous meal planning apps I didn't use often enough and ended up canceling. This is perfect for our family!
This is the meal planner that i have been looking for and praying for since i dont know when. All i can say is... Thank You so much for this. You dont know how much it had helped me. I will be forever grateful.
I like the free version as it's super simple. If you literally want to plan ahead meals, without the added features which are better available in other apps, then this is great for being able to see a week ahead.
Decent app. Just wish I could set a time for the meals with an alarm 45 minutes before them. Also wish I could copy days.. my first week is pretty much all the same thing until I get the hang of meal planning...
It's pretty basic. Not really useful to our family as we would all like to share the same list so that everyone knows what the meal plan is.
Just what I've been looking for, something plain and simple. Being a beginner meal planner, I wanted an app that would mainly let me plan my own meals, and that's what this does. This is easy and simple. I love it!!!!
I really like how simple this app is, I can't find a way to share the meal plans with my partner though which means that writing it on the fridge is still going to win as we'll both know what we're doing. Good for a quick overview and add when out and about definitely worth having
Works as intended. Would be nice to see a share option so multiple people can view the same week. Would benefit those families who are on the go. I have a grocery list app like that and it's amazing for my wife and I. Please include in a future update.
Good potential. Unfortunately some quite basic features I'd expect to be there are missing, making it a bit of a PITA to actually use???? for instance I'd want to be able to: 1) move meals from day to day (ie. drag and drop) 2) re-sort shopping list to my preferred order (also drag and drop) 3) have recipe/list items in categories to further help with automatic shopping list order (eg. 'Produce', 'Herbs and Spices', 'Dry Goods') 3) get recipe quantities properly into the list (currently if I have two recipes that each include '1 onion', the list shows *one* instance of '1 onion'. Obviously best for it to automatically put '2 onions' onto the list; failing that, '1 onion' should be on the list twice...) 4) go to a list of recipes and from there, allocate them to a day and/or to a week's meal plan Hope this is constructive criticism!
it's pretty basic. as an app that ultimately cost me money I wish it did a little more. it would be nice if I could import recipes and I would like a more detailed shopping list.
Great app. Only thing I'd change is adding a feature to calculate quantities of each item based on a week or 2 of meal planning.
Great app. Simple to use and lets you use your own recipes instead of its own. Sometimes a little clunky in how it interacts with the keyboard on my phone.
Easily lets you plan out what to eat for the week when you just want names of meals instead of full blown recipes. I would like to be able to copy a previous week and then modify instead of having to start from scratch each week.
At first glance I was excited for this app. I even upgraded to the pro version. Difficult to add recipes and duplicate days.
Bought the 'full' version within an hour of downloading the app. Love it! Some additions I'd like to see would be the option to organise saved meals into categories such as 'breakfast' 'lunch' 'dinner' and snacks. I'd also love thr option to delete suggested meals under the menu tab. Would also be cool if we could add notes to each meal or each day that could be viewed in the weekly overview... I'd love to put my macros and calories with each meal. Also can't wait to see the addition of adding meals straight to the shopping list. All in all amazing app can't wait to use it for more meal prepping!
It's indeed a very helpful app. It enables you to customize and make your own meal plan. It keeps track of your everyday consumption. I personally recommend this app to anyone who wants to be in the best shape of their lives. Remember, 80% of your body is built in the kitchen, not in the gym. To the developer of this app, can you make the plan one month unstead of one week? I would really appreciate it if you do. Thanks a lot!!!????????????
Hi Dev, I'd love to see a feature where you can "screengrab" a meal and move it to another day and meal within the week. For example if I go out for an impromptu dinner I'd like to be able to move my planned dinner to lunch the next day without having to go into the day, cut, go into the next day and then paste. Otherwise I love the simplicity of the app, it's what I've been looking for.
It is awesome everyday I plan my food it is great so me and my family won't argue any more????
I feel like I can't do anything unless I pay to upgrade. None of the good features are free.
I love it! I just needed a place to write down what I was planning on cooking for my family, and this does the trick! It does have spaces for breakfast and lunch, but I never plan those. Also has a place to add your recipes. Wish I could do the grocery list without having to pay for it
Simple and just what i was looking for to plan out my meals for the week. Because of my busy scedule i forget to pack a lunch. now i can plan ahead for weeks in advance. I edit the week 1 to the current month and the days of the week. Thank you for a great app! i just downloaded it so im still learning it????
Basic but just what I need. Would be helpful if I could create a weekly template that could be the base of next week's plan.

A little too simple. It's healthier to eat 5 smaller meals per day than 3 bigger ones so I'd like that ability.
