What's new in 1.1.65: • Choose before each plan: use what's in your pantry or buy everything. • Only items you tick as bought carry into your pantry, and a pantry item counts only when you have enough of it. • More varied suppers: one meat or fish no longer fills most of the week, and a repeated breakfast changes weekly. • "Who's eating, and where?" works with your phone upright, and adding a store asks which location you shop at. • Chat read receipts, and achievements on their own page.

Choose how many meals to plan and which days you need them. Move or skip individual meals, with linked leftovers, packed lunches and shopping quantities updated together. More missing ingredient photos fill in automatically.

Clearer ingredient and product photos make shopping easier. Duplicate pantry entries are combined with quantities that include your packed lunches.

• Your stores wear their own marks: about seventy-five more chains across Canada and the United States — pharmacies, corner stores and gas bars included — on store cards, the grocery list and the shopping list. • A mark is shown only when the name is that chain's own, so an independent never wears someone else's logo. • The header is now deep teal with a lime line under it, in light and dark mode, so the top of every screen reads as the frame. • On a phone, a store whose mark is a wordmark shows the mark alone in the grocery and shopping list headers, so the name never fights the logo.

• The header shows today's weather where you are: a sky icon that changes with the conditions, your town and the temperature. • A recipe's ingredient list now names every seasoning its steps use — garlic, salt, pepper — and new plans buy them; recipes you already have are completed as you open them. • A redone day or a swapped meal brings its recipe along, instructions and calories included. Redo day asks first. • Store groups on the grocery tab and the shopping list have a calm header: the store's mark, the number of items and that store's total. • A loved recipe can be told which meal it is — breakfast, lunch, supper or snack — and lands there when pinned into a plan. Ingredient levels now read Love, Like, Neutral, Not as often and Never. • Nothing in Settings changes until you press Save. After you confirm your email, the app moves you into setup by itself. • The planner has three views, chosen in Settings: days as rows with the meals across, the classic columns, or one day at a time with a date picker that opens on today. Every day shows its date. • Meal cards are tighter and line up across the week; each swap button has its own calm colour. • Choosing meals is clearer: your last choice is remembered, each card shows how many times it is planned, and the week's total stays in view. A plan with only a few days asks first and offers the full week. • Your plan opens as soon as the meals and grocery list are done; photos keep arriving on their own for a few minutes after. • The budget step says what your number means per person per day. The stores step shows your chosen stores first, then everything nearby; every branch shows its street. • The grocery list wears each store's banner. Next week opens on Friday, once the flyers are out. • Grocery lists buy what the recipes use and a week over budget swaps its dearest meals for cheaper dishes. Cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles and almond flour no longer trigger a diet alert.

• Grocery lists now buy what the week’s recipes actually use — no more five bags of potatoes for four meals — and near-duplicates like two breads or two mustards are combined. • A week still over budget after pricing whole packages swaps its dearest meals for cheaper dishes built from what is already on the list, and tells you which. • Cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash and almond flour no longer trigger a diet alert on low-carb, keto, paleo or gluten-free menus. • While your menu is being made, every step of the checklist lights up in turn instead of jumping to the end. • Dish photos are back for everyone: every meal gets a real photo again, on the free plan too. • New accounts start with a free full week for the whole family — every day, every meal you asked for, and the grocery list to match.

Travel mode — going away? Tell us where you're staying and CartBrain follows you: stores near you, that area's flyers, and prices in the local currency. Your home address and your usual stores stay exactly as they are, and coming home is one tap. Canada and the United States for now. Shopping list — one running list per household that stays in sync with your plan. Tick something off in either place and it's ticked in both. Adding an item now searches real flyer prices near you first. Also: prices say whether they're CAD or USD, your grocery list shows the plan total plus anything you added, and signing in with Google or Apple works again.

• Your first plan on a new account is planned for your whole household, on us. Your free monthly plan after that covers 1 adult, as before. • Planning a short week now asks first: if your start day leaves 3 days or fewer, choose next week (a full 7 days) or just those days. The day picker is now “First day to plan”. • Plans are written in the language you use in the app. • When choosing stores for a plan, you can type your town instead of using your device’s location — handy on a VPN or with location off. • Stores near you stay in your own country, and a chain that exists elsewhere in the country but wasn’t offered in your town now shows up. • Your food preferences show a photo of each ingredient, and the dashboard shows real groceries behind the headline. • Stores show their real logos, and choosing stores for a plan uses the same photo cards as the Stores page. • The money card on every plan is a new deep panel with the week’s groceries behind it. • Flyer items that are prepared meals no longer count as ingredient deals, and the flyer’s own description shows in the deal window. • Your currency is chosen from your location and shown in one place, Settings. • French: several screens that still showed English are translated. • Better dish photos for pasta salads, and fresh photos for the Cheap and Quick cooking styles.

Fixes for problems customers reported this week. • If you set your town but the app still said it didn't have it, that's fixed. Stores found near you now count as stores you can pick. • Your store list now covers every chain nearby instead of repeating the closest ones, so a shop you actually use can't be crowded out. • Choosing a plan is clearer: Pro and Family each have one card with a Monthly / Yearly switch and the yearly saving spelled out. • Restore purchases now works even when the store is slow to respond. • Store logos appear again in your list. • Unlocking achievements no longer takes over the screen — one small card, however many you earn at once. • Groceries are now priced in your own country's currency and stores.

• Meal swaps and week regeneration no longer fail while still using up what they charged. Anything charged and not delivered is given back automatically. • Ticking “packed lunch” for a child no longer switches on a paid option by itself and blocks your plan. • Food already in your pantry stops going back on the shopping list at full price. • Packed lunches and snacks now come out of your budget instead of landing on top of it. • New here? If you skip choosing your stores, CartBrain now picks the closest few grocers for you instead of stopping you at the last step. • The deals list fits the screen on a phone.
