About Automated Menu Planner

This is the hands off menu / meal planner. Now with a DashClock extension!

This menu planner automatically plans dinner entrees on a weekly, semiweekly, or monthly basis. It learns what you like and uses it to create a meal plan with other recipes that you may enjoy. It integrates with DashClock to show you today's entree on the Android 4.2+ lock/home screen.

Other meal planners make you look up recipes and add them to your meal plan manually. Our app makes meal planning quick and easy by automating the task of entree selection, allowing your to discover new recipes.

What are users saying about Automated Menu Planner

B70%
by B####:

I filtered out what my family is allergic to but its still bringing up options with those items and I can't seem to be able to say no to it and have it change. Or of its something I know we don't like even though it has something we do like I can't dislike so it doesn't pull up anymore

Z70%
by Z####:

Great idea, poor execution. As I vegetarian, my meal choices are apparently limited to lentil burgers or asparagus soup. Over and over and over and....

L70%
by L####:

The recipes are good but when I put my preferences in for vegetarian it gave only two or three and just kept repeating them and at one point gave a fish recipe

Z70%
by Z####:

Everything is either spicy or not my taste. Not much to this app.

X70%
by X####:

I'm horrible at coming up with ideas for meals for my family. I love to cook, I just can't think of things. This app has been amazing!! The first thing I made was tuna cakes with a cucumber dipping sauce. I have twin three year olds, needless to say they can be challenging to please sometimes. However, they gobbled these up! Even asking for more!! One of my twins doesn't like tuna EVER. Not the case with this dish!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

R70%
by R####:

This app sounded perfect when I read the description. Planning meals for you and giving the recipe. I filled out all the settings and foods I dislike and ran the planner. It planned just one part of an evening meal only. No sides just protein, no breakfast no lunch. Very disapointed....

S70%
by S####:

It has a great concept but would be better to pick ingredients that in our pantry. Or be able to pick recipes that agree with our family, kid friendly.

X70%
by X####:

I am bad at thinking of dishes to make. This let's me experience a good variety without having to go through the painstaking process of recipe websites.

X70%
by X####:

This works great. Good food my family will eat. Love the grocery list capability.

F70%
by F####:

cannot exclude condiments I can't stand (mustard, mayo, ketchup, etc), so day 2 was a bust. day 3 featured a food item I completely excluded (fish...food allergy, completely non-negotiable). I didn't get any further...that was time to uninstall.

P70%
by P####:

i don't need to worry about what to make for dinner anymore and i have the list of ingredients on my phone which makes it that much better. love this app.

X70%
by X####:

Like the idea but what the hell are lasagne noodles?

Z70%
by Z####:

Not really a lot of variety for a vegan.

V70%
by V####:

Just as many people described, I went through all the preferences and still got menus with items I don't want.

Z70%
by Z####:

great meal planner I really enjoy it; it not only tells me what to cook but how to cook it. now I don't have to think about what to cook.. sides are always easy.

K70%
by K####:

Tried it out, entered my preferences, watched and waited for meal plans to appear. They never did, just an empty placeholder plan which included a bunch of unprofessional cussing under preparation. Uninstalling it. Also, FYI, beans are not a grain.

Z70%
by Z####:

I have a large family and there is no where to set up recipes for 8+ survings so that the ingredients can be adjusted for the shopping list

Z70%
by Z####:

I LOVE the way it generates menu plans but...I need to know calorie & macro nutrient for it to be effective. Also, need to scale down to two servings.

A70%
by A####:

Gave me 3 meals to repeat thru out the week.

D70%
by D####:

It should have a thumbs down for ones we don't like. Also I clicked I do not like any type of fish but there are days with fish... it's a great idea for an app. BUT I will not be using it.

D70%
by D####:

It would great if recipes were budget friendly with the cost of food getting higher each week, offering low cost recipes would make this app get. Also, having ingredient alternatives or ingredient swaps would be nice too.

R70%
by R####:

I love it, but i would love it more if I was able to print the recipes.

Q70%
by Q####:

Very convenient. This app plans all my meals for me. It even let's you exclude any ingredients you or your family doesn't like.

X70%
by X####:

I love the idea it makes things so much easier, unfortunately some of the recipes aren't very clear also wish they would add pictures.

I70%
by I####:

Great tools for menu of the day

S70%
by S####:

Nice to have an idea for dinner.

H70%
by H####:

Im too picky for half the meals..

O70%
by O####:

Shut down every time I applied recipe filters.

W70%
by W####:

Needs a share option

D70%
by D####:

I like the receipes

D70%
by D####:

Doesn't do metric

J70%
by J####:

allows you to plan ahead, easy to use

D70%
by D####:

Really easy recipes to follow and great tasting too

S70%
by S####:

It would be nice if it gave an option for breakfast and lunch items as well

P70%
by P####:

I took the time to check each food I dislike, (all seafood) and the first recipe that came up was FISH.

K70%
by K####:

That's be cool if I could just search for recipes like desserts, side dishes, drinks etc.. I've also noticed the recipes will be missing information such as the prep and cook time

K70%
by K####:

Even though I filered for wheat it still scheduled recipes containing wheat. The app is everything I want from a meal planner, but ultimately, it's useless for me.

K70%
by K####:

Gets the job done. I would like it better if there was a way to mix up the food types or skip a meal and have it replaced without remaking the whole menu.

K70%
by K####:

Nice idea, haven't made any recipes yet but maybe condensing shopping list into weekly list instead of daily. Also maybe some recipies that make bigger meals and others that use that meals leftovers for another meal.

It should have a thumbs down for ones we don't like. Also I clicked I do not like any type of fish but there are days with fish... it's a great idea for an app. BUT I will not be using it.
