Prepear for Pc

I LOVE this app! This is like Ziplist of the past but better! It’s my new Pinterest. It already comes loaded with great healthy recipes. But the beauty is that you can add your own personal recipes as well as from the web! Love that it saves pictures of the recipes from the web. Love that you get a grocery list generated by section and that you can remove ingredients already on hand. My favorite trick because of the recipe pictures is that I can hand over my phone to my kids and ask them to plan our meals for the week from my cookbook. I already know the options they’re choosing from are fab (picked by me) but then they are the ones to blame if someone doesn’t like the meal! Not every website seamlessly adds their picture or directions at times and when I add ingredients it’s not as intuitive with the typing in a minor way (plus then it’s not categorized for tour list) but all of that is a small price to pay to how many advantages it affords! I have the website up pretty much every day to ‘pin’ a recipe that comes my way!

I’m very happy to be using this app. I’ve just started using this app about 2+ weeks ago. The free version does a lot. Create meal plans, shop with automatic grocery lists, and collect recipes and share with friends on Facebook. The two aspects I’ve really enjoyed so far are 1) the ability to find an online recipe and add it to this app using the import option. (You can manually add your own recipes too.) It also 2) adds items in the recipe’s list of ingredients to the grocery list with a single touch. There’s a way to move items from the grocery list to the pantry if you already have them too. The paid version has prepared meal plans that are a little pricy at $9.99 a month but I got an introductory offer in an email for $1.00 and 90 days of meal plans. (I have done that but am not convinced it’s the right choice for me.) All the recipes are searchable and are free though! There are allergy (like shellfish) and diet (like gluten free) options too—quite a few of them actually. The only frustrations are glitchy procedural issues that have been reported but have not all been fixed. For example, when moving recipes the "right swipe" reveals menu options. However the revealed menu does not always disappear and results in the recipe not being visible. Exiting the app or rebooting your phone will usually solve this. Hopefully as the app matures these will be resolved.

I have loved using this app for the past month and a half. It’s easy to import recipes, get ideas from past weeks or other users, plan meals, and create grocery lists! I love that I can do all of this easily from my phone while I’m rocking a baby to sleep or waiting at a pharmacy. I can even plan my week in the parking lot of the grocery store if I have to! I don’t have any friends who use the app yet so the social feature isn’t very useful to me right now. But everything else has saved me tons of time! I used to just enjoy the cooking part but I truly enjoy planning and organizing meals thanks to this app. The app devs and support team are also super responsive. I’m excited to see this platform grow! It has absolutely improved the way that I plan and prepare meals for my family.

I can’t believe that everyone isn’t using this app yet. It is incredibly easy to use. I’ve planned menus from scratch using recipes I’ve saved and searching for new ones, and I have also been a this app Gold subscriber where all the menus are done for you. Everything is customizable. Grocery lists are a cinch. I NEVER follow the meal plan as written. I go through, move meals to other days, switch stuff up for what’s already in my freezer, omit stuff on days I know will be out, etc! And the option to save recipes from outside websites alone is worth trying this app out. Updates are consistent. Help and customer service are great. Highly recommended.
