Dinner Buddy Meal Planner

App seems to have been abandoned

I like using this app, it is easy to use and enjoy the fact that I get to add in all my favourite recipes. However I really don’t like that in the shopping list it wont show you how many cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, numbers, grams, kg or any other form of measurements. I find it difficult to actually use the shopping list because I don’t know how much of anything I actually need. If this could be updated the app we be a lot more pratical.

I’ve just started using this app, and I’m in 2 minds about it so far. To add more than 1 meal in the day, I had to upgrade it to the pro version ($7.99). I was a little shocked to find that didn’t remove the ads - that’s a separate fee! I like the ability to add recipes, though I find on my iPhone that the keypad blocks what is being typed in for the method, which makes data entry really hard - I’m having to hope that what I’m typing is correct. The recipes look like they are being stored in the order that I entered them rather than alphabetical order, which could make it trickier to find things as I add more. After completing 1.5 days of meal planning breakfast, lunch and dinner, I realised that I needed to move them a day later - I couldn’t start those meals tomorrow as I need to shop first. I found there is no way to move or delete individual entries - my only option is to wipe the entire week and start over. Now I’m starting to feel annoyed that I’ve already spent money on the app when it may not be as easy to use as I’d hoped.

This is so close to being my perfect menu planning app. It lets you store and rate your families favourite recipes, and has a cool “blackboard” appearance for the weekly menu. But the big flaw is you can’t share this with your family! My husband and I take turns to cook and we should just be able to access our weekly menu and recipes together in the same way. Please update this soon or I will need to go elsewhere with my menu planning! Also smaller thing but would be ideal if you could move around your menu days once written (eg drag Monday to Wednesday etc)

I often write a menu and shopping list and then forget where I put it. Very handy having it on the phone and trying to stick to it.

As my first meal planning app, it’s pretty easy to use. I’d like to be able to plan alternate meals or run another weekly plan alongside the main plan for special dietary needs or preferences.

Thanks for this great app. At the touch of a screen I have my whole menu planned for the week!

Started off brilliant, but as you use it more and more - the ads take over. Frustrating and will be deleted.

i really like this app since it helps me organise part of my hectic life... however the more recipes i added the menu list started to glitch! when i clicked on recipe "A" it would jump to show a different random recipe . please fix it in an update as i would love to continue to use the app!
