Real Plans for Android
As soon as you open the app you're asked to pay a subscription. Uninstalled.
I real wish this app worked better. It will not allow me to add the meals from recipe box. It locks up on me then forces me to sign out. I lose all my recipe picks for the week. It's a shame, when it does work it's really great in organizing shopping list Please fix problem of the app crashing all the time.
Don't be deceived its NOT free, between 6-15 dollars a month to use. Wish there was a one time purchase option
I love having this on my phone to use in the kitchen for easy access to recipes and the shopping list available for anyone in my family to access while we are out and about is fantastic.
All things are possible
Very nice features! Love the ability to import recipes from online and to easily change around the meals assigned (either change the day or the food) and serving sizes. Great app!
Very frequently won't load when I open it or when I switch from Shopping List to other pages in the app. It just stays on the "waiting for load" turning icon. I have to keep trying until it opens. Also no way to move meals around or modify the plan on the app. Most must be done on desktop. It is nice for shopping as I can check off things as I go.
Great app, love the timeline
Not user friendly, app or mobile online, can't make any changes, even following their steps unless you're using a desktop computer. Was no heads up on this when I purchased it. Not worth the money they charge for the subscription. There's better free programs available. Now to figure out how to cancel since there's no link on the app or mobile to do so.
I have food allergies and diabetes and this app helps me with my daily grocery shopping and recipes. I signed up for RP and adjusted my diet for my needs. Works perfectly on my Android-Samsung Galaxy Note.
Not user friendly. Making changes are far too difficult and some are even impossible in the app. App requires you to log in every time your screen goes to sleep which makes using the app for a shopping list a overly tedious chore. Cancelled my account and got my money back.
The new update made this app amazing! It is much more user-friendly and is now fully functional, doing practically everything you can do on the website. You can even chat with an agent straight from the app! I use it shopping and no longer have to write and keep up with a paper list. Real Plans is the best program ever, and their customer service is phenomenal!
Ability to track nutrition or set calorie goals per meal would be nice. Many recipes are quite high in calories, so being able to further customize the diet settings to limit calories, sugar, fat, etc. would be helpful. If nutrition tracking isn't something that you want to get into, perhaps linking with fitness apps like Fitbit or MyFitnessPal would be a good solution? Until this gets more robust, it isn't worth the subscription price. I'll manually plan my meals.
Requires a paid subscription to use the app. Does not say this anywhere in description. Please be more transparent. I think poorly of this business now.
Recent update improves a great deal many features of the app.
Amazing, user friendly and everything I need in one handy app!
I started the Whole 30 challenge and this app is a lifesaver! I can easily modify my weekly meal plan and shopping is a breeze! The shopping list feature is wonderful. Starting a new diet is hard enough, now I don't have to menu plan as well!
This is the best meal planning service there has ever been, and the app is beautiful and responsive. Well done devs!
I love everything about this program and app; except that it freezes on a loading screen EVERY time I attempt to alter the start/end dates on my shopping list.
Real plans
The idea is great and the concept seems genius but the app is a headache. I've been sitting here for a good 20 min and I haven't been able to create any custom plan... So far ive only deleted recipes I didn't want in the plan but haven't been able to add any because the "recipe box" is glitching and hasnt been responding to the buttons I'm pressing. Filter is defaulted to have 1 item activated only ("My diet") . I want to use this app and have the ability to customize my plan but this is a nightmare!
PLEASE make this app available offline! I have to make a separate grocery list with either Google Keep or Google Tasks to bring a check-able grocery list with me to the store. I don't have data, nor can I afford to pay for data. And very few stores have Wi-Fi access. The reason I signed up for Real Plans is to save time and energy with meal planning and shopping. Ugh.
The ap doesn't take into account the number of portions that are included in the recipes so if you ask it to plan for a week it will suggest four times the amount of food you would need to buy. I asked this question to their support line THREE times and have gotten lots of run around but no answers. Save you money - you can find all the same recipes for free on line and save your shopping list in note taking ap. This really has no other value.
Great idea but so expensive to subscribe. Didn't even get as far as using it for that price!
The fact that I can't access my timeline unless I check the full site every day is really a deal breaker.
Should have in the description that you are required to sign up for the pricey membership to use the app. Not willing to spend that on an app that, from members, has lots of issues loading.
I'm a new subscriber to Real Plans. Yet when I try to login to the app, I'm told my login information is invalid. Very frustrating!
It wasnt a good fit. Then they just took my money and i didnt have the program for a month. The foods arent for everywhere.....
Mom's friendly weekly food organize app.
Requires a paid subscription, which seems like it might be worth mentioning in the description...
I love it
I don't see a way to view my timeline nor can I find a way to contact support in the app. Also, when I click on a recipe I've imported it brings up some other random recipe. Another thing I would like to see on my phone are reminders. I have to remember to check the full site every day to see if there's any advance prep I should be doing. As for the service as a whole, I would love to see super easy home lunch and school lunch ideas! Overall love the service! App needs work.
The idea of planning your meals and that feeding your shopping list and being able to shop for a date range of meals is great. The execution of the idea via this app has a lot of bugs or features lacking. 1st, the syncing of list items being checked off doesnt work alot of the time. I am checking this off repeatedly because they reappear after syncing or reopening the app. 2nd, you cannot edit an item on the list without going to the website on your computer! 3rd, you cannot use the list offline.
There are still to many bugs and I can't even contact developer from app site to ask for a refund as was guaranteed I got a refund!!!Asking for one again cause it still don't work!
This is really worth it!
I'm guessing this app and service is still pretty new as it seems like a beta version or rough v1. I'm hopeful it will improve quickly. (Both this app and the service) Also not a fan of their pricing model. Hopefully some additional competition will come along soon to make them reassess.
I use my laptop for most of the programming of my plan. The options and ability to use various recipes is great. The app is great for easy access to recipes and ingredients needed. I have had zero issues and support answered me today in minutes for two questions I had. They seem to be making constant improvements. I would recommend this to anyone who is as bad at planning meals as I am!
As a developer myself, i'm looking at the intense limitations of this app with a little disappointment. It adds nothing new to the mobile platform compared to the web app, which is a shame. I would love to see push reminders for prep steps, like 'take out meet to thaw for tomorrow's [meal]'. The options box is useless, it literally just tells you to go to the web app. What's the point of the mobile app? Every modern phone can just log on to the web app, so give me some perks of using the app.
I have a subscription to real plans but haven't been able to log on to this mobile app. I keep getting an error message saying check wireless connection. There is no problem with my wireless connection. Any other app on my phone that requires wireless is working fine. I've checked my wireless multiple times even uninstalled and reinstalled this app. Extremely frustrated!

Easy to use once you get the hang of it. Bought the whole 30 subscription and so far so good. Looking forward to using it more and adding our own recipes. Love the shopping list that it creates.
