Worth every penny, though it’s really not that many pennies. I basically learned to cook from CookSmarts. -- no12345667654321, 2025-05-28 ### ***** "Best meal planner" Dinner plans, meal plans, menus all made easy! -- Pie-lattes, 2025-05-27 ### ***** "Best meal plan service" I have tried so many meal planning services and this is the best. I’ve used it for over 7 years and it consistently cuts down on my grocery bills, meal prep time, and food waste! -- Dani Turtle, 2025-05-27 ### ***** "Life Changing!" We started using Cook Smarts many many years ago and honestly can say that we couldn’t live without this meal planning tool! It changes your life by making planning a meal quick and easy with many healthy and interesting options. It takes me minutes each week, MINUTES, to plan! We love it so much that both of my adult children use it faithfully!! Literally, life changing! -- Asome dude12345678910?@")(, 2025-03-07 ### ***** "Great meals" Have used the service for years and love it! Meals my family wants to eat and has so helped my life. Highly recommended! -- Kt Campbell 1, 2025-02-27 ### ***** "Longtime Member" I’ve been a member since 2014. I joined as a young adult who wanted to learn how to cook better and didn’t know how to start. The recipes and training videos helped me go from a novice who made many convenience meals to someone much more comfortable in the kitchen making everything from risotto to pot roast. I have since become a mom to two kids and thanks to cooksmarts I do not need to worry about putting healthy meals on the dinner table. As a longtime member I love how flexible it is to create a weekly menu with my favorite meals and develop a shopping list, or choose one of the service created weeks to try out some new recipes. I’m so thankful I found this service when I did! -- LynzeBee24, 2025-02-25 ### ***** "Great meal-planning app" I’ve used cooksmarts for years. It’s well worth the subscription cost, simplifying shopping and helping us eat healthy, varied, and reasonably-portioned meals. The app works just as well as the website. This service has really helped us become better cooks and improved our meals. -- Rowena Columbia, 2025-02-16 ### ***** "Incredible Meal Planning App" I’ve used Cook Smarts for almost 6 years now and love it! Has been so helpful to get my family out of our rut and has introduced us to lots of different types of meals that have now become our standard. Absolutely love it and recommend it to everyone! -- JBH2003, 2025-02-04 ### ***** "Game changer, been using for 5+ years" We didn’t really know how to meal plan or cook from scratch, but wanted to learn. Tried other meal plans, and they felt very routine (tacos every Tuesday) or too carb heavy (hamburger helper style dinner every night), OR too gourmet with weird ingredients, wasted half-of-things and 4-hour prep time. Cook Smarts plans are perfect. 4 fresh meals every week, borrowing ingredients from previous days, lots of fresh veggies, varied proteins, and carbs that complement the meal rather than dominate it. -- Arialvetica, 2025-01-29 ### ***** "Cooksmarts user for years!" We have been using cooksmarts for years and love it! It makes our weekly meal planning and grocery shopping so much easier and helps us make varied, healthy and delicious dinners. And it’s much more affordable than other options. The app has all the convenience of the website. (One minor note - it seems to log me out each time - I would prefer to stay logged in.) -- Shiva681, 2025-01-15 ### ***** "Great app!" I’ve been a Cook Smarts member for years and this app is a great addition. -- ScEdMc, 2025-01-14 ### ***** "2nd generation user" My daughter moved into her first apartment and immediately asked for cooking supplies and a Cook Smarts membership for the holidays. She has been helping me cook dinner for the past 5 years with Cook Smarts and we both love the flexibility which allows us to cook for various eaters and easily build meal plans and grocery lists. She will definitely be eating better now that she has a kitchen rather than the dining hall and her own access to Cook Smarts. -- Cat who likes Dogs, 2025-01-09 ### ***** "Can Not Live Without" Seriously could not imagine life without this service. I actually enjoy cooking, want my family exposed to a wide variety of cuisine, and want to make overall healthy meals. The bane of my existence was trying to cobble together my weekly menus to meet hose goals. The time spent and money wasted on ingredients that went bad or did not get used was depressing. Then I discovered Cook Smarts. I no longer have to think about what to make! I love the variety of foods, the ability to edit menus to suit needs, save favorites, etc. For the price it is so worth it!! -- dnkjohns, 2025-01-09 ### ***** "Life Changing" We have used Cook Smarts for over 8 years and honestly I don’t know how we meal planned prior. This is easily the best monthly subscription we spend money on as a family. It’s truly been life changing. Healthy food, organized meals, easy grocery lists, and a wide variety of cuisine. Cook Smarts has saved us money, taught us about food, and reduced weekly stress. More than worth it! -- Proudestmonkey3, 2025-01-08 ### ***** "grocery list adds to instacart" i love the variety of meals in each week, but my favorite feature is the grocery list. you can quickly drop ingredients you already have or don’t want AND the list can be added straight to instacart! -- 4kbell, 2025-01-08 ### ***** "Soooo helpful" Cook smarts has made dinner choices sooo much easier. Not sure what I would have done without them. Now they have an app? I’m in heaven. -- Dee*, 2025-01-07 ### ***** "Simply the best!" I have been using CookSmarts for probably 8 years and it’s the absolute best meal planning service I’ve ever used. I’ve shopped around over the years and tried many different apps. But most were far more automated with a lot of hits and misses, and a lot of them are focused on fitness, which is totally fine but not my primary goal. CookSmarts has it all - delicious meals, a great community, helps you use your pantry items, and teaches you to be better at cooking. I have improved my cooking technique and “leveled up” my home cooking game many times over because of CookSmarts! -- Csd2010, 2025-01-07 ### ***** "Intuitive design, brain-saving service" Clearly a service and app designed by people who cook for families (and themselves!). It’s so dang practical, with features that were informed by feedback from users. For example: You can switch between “ingredient” and “preparation” views quickly without losing your place — essential if you’re like me and forgot mid-prep how many tablespoons are needed of this or that. The meals have been hand-curated (by a team of HUMANS, not AI), again, in response to user feedback. The menus are straightforward but offer wonderful variety. I honestly can’t believe this exists and that I can afford it. There’s a reason I’ve been a years-long user — it’s a valuable human-made service for humans who make food. -- Jennipi, 2025-01-07 ### ***** "Cook Smarts is a lifesaver!" Started using Cook Smarts in 2019 and it has been a lifesaver! I was bored of cooking the same things over and over again. Not only does Cook Smarts offer a variety of dishes from different cuisines, they are also very seasonally oriented. My kids have been exposed to different foods and styles and even ask for some dishes by name, such as lasagna soup and dan dan noodles! -- KK-in-CA, 2025-01-06 ### ***** "Love for my busy family!" Cooks Smarts is great for helping streamline meal planning, shopping and food prep. The app is super user friendly and organized! -- TheHoags, 2025-01-06 [View all Cook Smarts reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Cook Smarts In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Annual Subscription | $49.99 | | Monthly Subscription | $9.99 | | Quarterly Subscription | $24.99 | ## Apps Similar to Cook Smarts - [BigOven Recipes & Meal Planner](https://apptail.io/app/bigoven-recipes-meal-planner-Qc/united-states) - [Pepperplate Cooking Planner](https://apptail.io/app/pepperplate-cooking-planner-vT/united-states) - [Real Plans - Meal Planner](https://apptail.io/app/real-plans-meal-planner-dpf/united-states) - [Prepear](https://apptail.io/app/prepear-Wlm/united-states) - [Sidekick by Sorted Food](https://apptail.io/app/sidekick-by-sorted-food-rts/united-states) - [Grocery AI](https://apptail.io/app/grocery-ai-Qyx/united-states) - [Umami - Recipe Manager](https://apptail.io/app/umami-recipe-manager-pxRb/united-states) - [Forks Meal Planner](https://apptail.io/app/forks-meal-planner-xNnc/united-states) - [Kids Meals: Recipes & Guides](https://apptail.io/app/kids-meals-recipes-guides-JlMe/united-states) - [a better meal: dinner planner](https://apptail.io/app/a-better-meal-dinner-planner-BWxm/united-states) ## Cook Smarts Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/cook-smarts-easy-meal-plans-IRBu/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/cook-smarts-easy-meal-plans-IRBu/canada) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/cook-smarts-easy-meal-plans-IRBu/australia) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/cook-smarts-easy-meal-plans-IRBu/united-kingdom) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/cook-smarts-easy-meal-plans-IRBu/spain) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/cook-smarts-easy-meal-plans-IRBu/netherlands) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
