Great meals glitchy app
The meals have been great and quite the time saver for me. The problem is the app. It’s glitchy and won’t let you print your menu/recipes 75% of the time.

The app itself is fine, not the best out there in terms of functionality but it works. We tried 3 months of the classic recipes and so far are on month two and extremely disappointed with the dinners. None of them have tasted very good, none of the kids will eat them and they have not been worth the convenience of being put together ahead of time. I’m all for a good meal prep but so far this isn’t it.
If you struggle with executive dysfunction please try this. It has been a life saver for our family. Saves on groceries, the meals sound fancy and are so yummy. I will say the app and the website are glitchy. The app won’t open on my husbands phone at all. But we find a way to use it because we need to.
Won’t let me register
Doesn’t allow me to download app. Keeps getting stuck on registration page.
App interface is awful. Menus won’t sync between devices or spouses. Recipes are hard to find. Can’t print from the app. App is a good idea, just needs major help for easy use.
TLDR: It’s just a very expensive e-cookbook. There is a reason you have to pay upfront to try this out. The okay: I like the concept. New recipes are added monthly (though old ones are removed, so little benefit unless you are unwilling to eat a meal more than 4x per year). The meals were what you probably expect for pre-prepped ingredients - meh, but not terrible. The bad: The only reason this is an app/website rather than a cookbook is to justify the cost. The app is glitchy and often doesn’t save recipes to the menu, meaning you have to refi d them repeatedly. Even when it does work and you compile an ingredient list, it doesn’t take the basic step of consolidating your shopping list. Staples used in multiple recipes are listed separately, and often not grouped together. At all points, you have fewer recipes than a reasonable cookbook. Worst of all, I tried to cancel the day my membership renewed. I was charged anyway. When I asked for a refund I was told that the charges were “locked.” Seems like the business model is to lock people into quarterly contracts since they know people won’t be willing customers for long.
We love the service in general. It has made cooking in our house fun again and manageable with busy kid schedules. I would give the meals 5 stars because we love it! However, I’m reviewing the app and it needs some help. What I dislike most is that my wife and I can’t collaborate inside of the app. I can’t just find a recipe, like it and her see it on her device. We have to put in everything for the week on her phone to make the grocery list (nice feature). However, if I’m cooking because she is running the kids around, then I have to find the meal again to get the recipe or she has to screen shot and send to me. Work around is for us both to like everything for the week and then we both have it but there is such a better way. That’s why I give only 3 stars.
No help from customer service. Will only quite t’s and c’s and zero empathy. Terrible.
A lot of repetitive recipes. Took a year break because it seems like the recipes were the same with just a few variations. Decided to come back and it’s still the same. Have to do a lot of tweaking to make them more flavorful.
