more Honestly, this is the first meal planner I’ve actually stuck with. Most apps out there are way too clunky and take longer to set up than actually cooking. This one just gets straight to the point. The weekly grid is super clean, and having the grocery list auto-generate is a massive timesaver for weeknight dinners.

This app completely cured my choice paralysis. It recommends great daily recipes with gorgeous photos that make you actually want to cook. The meals are easy to make, you can adjust the difficulty level, and the calorie reminders are a huge plus. Highly recommend!

This update strengthens how your data is protected.
• Account data linking now happens entirely on our servers instead of from the app, so your meal history and kitchen items can only ever be read or changed by you
• Fixed the shopping list hiding pantry staples the server had marked as needed — flour and similar items no longer disappear from your list
Thanks for cooking with us.
1.2.2 3d ago
This release fixes two problems that could stop a purchase from going through.
• Fixed a case where a completed purchase did not unlock Premium — the payment was recorded against the device instead of your account, so the app kept showing the paywall
• The paywall now still works when one plan's price fails to load. Previously, if the monthly price didn't load, the whole screen became unusable even though the annual price was there
• Stability and reliability improvements
1.2.1 Sep 2
Subscription handling has been rebuilt from the ground up for more reliable purchases and restores.
• Purchases and restores are now processed through a new, more dependable pipeline
• Restoring a purchase now tells you clearly what happened instead of failing silently
• If a purchase is still being confirmed, the app now says so rather than showing the paywall again
• Various stability fixes around subscription state
1.2.0 Sep 1
The subscription screen now appears consistently when the app is opened, instead of only once right after sign-up. Existing subscribers are unaffected, and Restore Purchase remains available.
1.1.7 Aug 26
Fixes a subscription-status check that could misread a new account's entitlement, and a tooltip that could overlap the subscription screen.
1.1.6 Aug 24
Your first week is free. After that, Premium renews automatically until you cancel — you can cancel any time in your account settings.
• Rate a meal in your plan and the rating now sticks — it used to be lost silently
• Favourite a meal in your plan without hitting an error
• Clearer subscription terms before you buy, with working links to Terms and Privacy
1.1.5 Aug 21
Swapping a dish now asks why — the portion, the time, or just not tonight — so your plans can learn what you actually want.
• Your shopping list now shows how few ingredients the week really needs
• "My Recipes" moved to the top of Plan, with a way in when it's still empty
• Swapping a meal now always respects your dietary restrictions and allergies
• Fixed: ratings and favourites on a planned meal are no longer lost
• Fixed: the paywall no longer appears while a purchase is still being confirmed
• Clearer message when a recipe site blocks importing
1.1.4 Aug 19
What's new in 1.1.3
• Plan breakfasts on purpose — tick Breakfast in Quick Fill and we'll plan them; leave it off and we won't.
• Your "max cooking time" is now respected everywhere, including when you swap a meal.
• We ask about allergies and dietary restrictions before your very first plan, so it fits from day one.
• Clearer messages: no more "0 meals came up empty" on a plan that's completely full.
• Fixed a subscription issue where a purchase still being confirmed could keep showing the paywall.
• Various layout fixes on smaller screens.
1.1.3 Aug 11
Your plan now works harder for your goal:
- See exactly how each meal fits your goal - calories, protein, and your daily budget, right on every meal card
- Life happens: long-press any meal to move it to tomorrow or another day. Your plan adapts, nothing gets lost
- New option to plan weekday dinners only
- Dozens of new recipes: high-protein, vegan and gluten-free friendly, built around ingredients that share your shopping basket
- When we can't fill a slot, we now tell you why - and what to relax to unlock more recipes
- Bug fixes and performance improvements

• Meal plans now respect the ingredients you dislike
• Faster meal-photo loading, steadier onboarding, and many stability fixes

A big update to make meal planning effortless:
• New goal-based onboarding — pick what matters to you (lose weight, eat healthier, save time, save money, and more) and your meal plans are tailored from day one
• Batch Meal Prep — turn any plan into a cook-once, eat-all-week prep with a smart prep schedule and storage guide
• Today — tell us your mood and get one perfect meal decision in seconds
• Smarter shopping lists that can hide the basic staples you already have

• Many performance and stability improvements
1.1.0 Jul 1
Smarter meal planning in this update:
- Every meal in your plan now tells you why it was picked for you
