Good but needs work

I found this app after installing my Mealie server and I think it has a lot of promise. There are a couple of things I'd like to note:1. Recipe scaling does not appear to work. The app allows you to change multipliers but does not apply them to the numbers in the ingredient list.2. The Meal Plan is a neat idea but I'd also love to see a way to add a recipe to a meal plan from the recipe itself.

Thanks for the feedback!#2 is definitely valid, I’ll add this as a feature in the next release.For #1 I’m not sure I’m able to reproduce. I’m wondering if your recipes are using ingredient notes rather than “food mode”? You should be able to tell this in the recipe edit view if “Disable Amounts & Units” is checked. In this mode Mealie doesn’t have info on a quantity of the ingredients set for the recipe and as such scaling won’t work. I will improve the UX to disable recipe scaling if this setting is checked though for a particular recipe. If you have any questions I’m happy to help debug, just shoot me an email at ryan@northwestwebpros.com

This is a rare treat. My wants and needs satisfied in the same product. As a former chef I cook by feel and whim more often than not, however there are some staple recipes I go back to over and over. By going to the same site, over and over. As a home lab enthusiast Mealie was a beautiful solution, and this app complementing the mobile experience (where it matters most in the kitchen) is fantastic. The one time licensing fee is incredibly fair, and the family sharing is awesome. Thank you for this app!

Missing Features, Still Best Option

Love the app because it 1) works great and 2) allows family sharing for a small ONE-TIME price. But also missing some functionality. 1) Really missing an admin tab with the ability to modify mealie users, groups, households and settings. 2) image - recipe creation if an AI is connected to the instance.

Developer Response
Thanks for the good feedback, I’ll prioritize these in a future release!

I really wanted this to be a good app but honestly the UI is plain and not as good looking as Mealie looks on the web, and if that were all that was wrong with this app I’d give it a 3/5 stars. But this guy just had to make pretty much every feature locked behind a paywall…. Keep in mind that these features are all included for free on your self-hosted web version. Save your money for some kitchen gadgets and just add the PWA to your Home Screen (please google PWA if you don’t understand and prepare to have your mind blown and money saved)

Thanks for the feedback. My thinking is that I will be supporting this app (and have been making continuous improvements to it based on user feedback) all with the goal of giving a high quality user experience that isn’t possible with the web app. With the vast amount of time I’ve spent on this I’m really making almost no money here. Yes some features are paywalled, but caching and viewing your recipes locally is free and there is a one-time purchase option that I feel is reasonable ($10 with family sharing for anyone in your Apple family) or there is a reasonable subscription option at $5 a year which I don’t feel is unreasonable and would have happily paid it when I first started using Mealie if this had existed at the time.

- Nutrition facts: See calories, fat, carbs, protein and more on your recipes, and edit them right in the recipe editor. Turn on "Show Nutrition" in Preferences to get started. - Create from Images works with newer Mealie servers: Turn photos into recipes again on Mealie v3.23 and later. - More reliable photo imports: The app now waits longer for your server's AI to finish, and iPhone photos are converted to JPEG automatically. If the server is slow, the recipe shows up in your list once it's ready. - Quick actions: Long-press a recipe card to edit or delete it. - Better sharing: Shared recipes now always include the link, even when you copy them or send them to text-only apps. - Fix: Ingredient amounts no longer disappear in Cook Mode when you scale a recipe. - Fix: Improved stability when deleting recipes.
