Ratings and Reviews
Something I can’t find anywhere else
I am a huge fan of this app, it finally allows me to take all my recipes from across all platforms, put them in one place, customize them into my own meal plan, AND with a click of a button send my grocery list to Walmart for pickup!! One stop shop, it also suggests new recipes, has a cool explore page with cooking videos, and is just so much fun to use. Definitely recommend a download.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your review. We love hearing that users are connecting to their favorite grocery stores.
Blown away!
Love the update! The cooking and quick skills videos are so helpful. I love the beautiful images and the way I can curate my own meal plans. I could go on and on! But what really stuck out was the ability for me to pull in all the social media recipes from different platforms. Now I have them all in one place. Brilliant!!
Finally…
I found a meal planning app that REALLY supports my busy life! The customization features have been so helpful and a time saver. I’ve been able to import specific recipes that build on their rich database of meals. Each update to the app keeps getting better and more useful. Thanks a better meal listening to feedback!
