App summary

Meal Manager - Weekly Meal Planner and Shopping List is a free menu planner app and recipe keeper that makes the creation of your weekly meal plan easier and stress-free. It allows you to plan your daily meals as well as snacks for the current and all future weeks in a simple way. You can also consult your meal calendar from the past weeks.
Next to that there is a built-in shopping list and a list of your ingredients at home / pantry.
For a monthly fee it is possible to link your partner and share your food planning instantly.
Do you want to set up rules like 'Monday is chicken day' or 'you have to eat at least 1 vegetarian meal a week', no problem. This app allows you to set up an unlimited number of meal rules.
You don't always have to open the app to check your meal plan. You can set up notifications for the meals or menu of the day and the menu of the next day.
This weekly food planner is a handy tool for both small and large families to manage their weekly menu calendar and meal plan, if you're on a diet (e.g. keto, whole30, forkes over knives, mediterranean diet ...) or not. You can even use it as a diabetic meal planner.

I made a goal this year to plan breakfast, lunch and dinner but was dreading all the keeping track. I actually got the paid for version of this app and I'm quite enjoying it. I can search for recipes in the app, the app then moves them to a shopping list. There are more features that I haven't bothered to use yet because I've figured out what I need.

Such a great app, and I've tried MANY. It allows you to input meals without fuss, and because I'm a mom who doesn't enjoy chicken nuggets for dinner, I can input 2 different dinners or lunch ideas to accommodate the toddlers and the allergies. Hooray! Meals can be tagged, which I use to tag chicken, beef, seafood, onepot, quick, etc. meals, which is great when I'm planning. I just type the tag quickly, and all my previous recipes with that tag come up. App even includes snacks if you want!

Just started using the app and find it pretty good for meal planning. Does a good job of parsing online recipes in most cases. Meal plan ui could use some reordering. IMHO the ingredients list needs to be first, then the instructions, then the upload widget. Overall pretty good. Hoping for continuing improvements.
