Ratings and reviews

I did a free trial to see if I wanted to pay the subscription, but I wasn't super impressed. The meals look fine and the info was nice, but it's useless for meal planning. You can't customize what meals you want, it defaults to breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and dessert, and it has a different recipe for each meal for every day. It's not feasible to cook 25 different recipes in a work week. If anyone knows how to adjust this let me. know, otherwise there's no point in paying for it.

For those saying they don't have permission, it's because they're trying to look at content included in the monthly/annual subscription! I have the monthly and it has been AWESOME! I have a few ideas. A "find word" feature within notes. Suggestions of products within notes (e.g. a list of recommendations like "[Brand] skipjack tuna cans found at [store(s)]" at the bottom of notes, in this example, under "Fish" or "Tuna"). Also, recipe ideas!

the app is very slow, especially when trying to go to saved recipes. sometimes I can't even have that tab load.
