Ratings and reviews

This app has sooo much promise! There are a few problems. Most of the time when you're typing something, the font is completely white, although the background is ALSO white. So you can't see what you're typing. This was the same when I was trying to browse categories. Another issue is that it's very difficult to add things to my pantry. I was able to add milk, but not eggs nor cheese. I was able to add Fettuccine, but no other type of pasta. Hope this gets fixed!

The "A Better Meal" app is amazing! 🥗 The step-by-step screens make cooking stress-free, and importing recipes is super easy. The design is clean, intuitive, and actually makes meal prep fun. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to simplify cooking and stay inspired!
