Hungry Girl Diet Book App 4+

Thought with all of the negative reviews, and suggestions on how the app could be more helpful, they might finally update the app and make it a little better. Guess she’s more interested in making money off her cruises & books. Have to admit, if you choose money over your followers, it’s not truly about wanting to help people and doesn’t make me want to buy/follow anymore. Listen to your loyal fans Lisa!

With every app charging a subscription fee these day it’s refreshing to find a free app that is useful. I love the Hungry Girl Diet book and this makes the plan super easy to follow. Being able to create a food plan on the calendar that I can reference throughout the day and week is so helpful. I also love that it generates a grocery list. I can go down the list, checking off items I already have and then create a list from the items I still need instead of having to go through each recipe.
The only thing I would love love love to see updated is adding in the choices from the companion cookbook, that would make my life that much easier.

But, all in all, a great simple app that does what it’s intended to do

I have the book and used this app to build out my menu for the week. Originally I gave this app very poor marks because of issues with the original shopping list. However, after I went to the "help" section I realized I wasn't clicking each day individually to select it (I thought I could select the beginning and end date ranges and the list would be created from all the meals within the date range.) Not so, click each day so it highlights. So now my chief complaint is the poor user interface as you open the app, it's way to vague on how to get to the menu of options). You must click on the second a Hungry Girl icon (it appears below the first after taking a few seconds to launch. Not too intuitive and I think I just accidentally happened on it.
