This is by far the best meal/pantry planning app that I have tried. Most of them look horrendous and perform poorly. This has some nice details. It is rather confusing and difficult to navigate, but it has lots or features.
I use this not only to make weekly meal plans (although I rarely end up sticking to those plans) but to keep track of pantry and household items.
There are some annoying UI issues (such as not being able to uncheck the favourite box when adding a new pantry item, because the keyboard is in the way) that need to be fixed, but none of them make the app unusable.
I am hoping this will be updated soon for easier navigation, but having tried some of the other (shockingly bad) meal/pantry apps out there, this is fantastic in comparison.
