MealBoard - Meal Planner Reviews

Love this convenient tool

Hermosab

I’ve loaded over 200 recipes into this app with ease (some importing, some entering) and use it daily, mostly for recipes while cooking. When I do plan a menu ahead of time and use the grocery list feature, it is very handy. I email the list to myself and can check off the items in the little box as I go from store to store. No complaints whatsoever and a great price for the convenience of a curated set of no-fat, Whole food, plant-based recipes. When I had a question about a website not automatically importing the recipes, the support person fixed the problem immediately. The recipes can be emailed to friends and I appreciate that feature, too.

Chef Shopping Made Easy

I love to cook but hate to shop. This app solves my dilemma. I choose my favorite recipes from any website, and my shopping list auto populates by grocery store category. Shopping made easy!

This app is growing on me..

I want sure I'd like this app at first but it is growing up nicely. I like the ability to import recipes. The web interface is nice to be able to easily print recipes (no air print services here). I'd like to see the shopping list feature generate a list specific to the recipe as an option. Slight bug where if I try to grab the picture from a lowly supported web site it'll crash the app and lose the import session.. Overall a very nice app...

This. Is. The. One.

I’ve tried them all but Meal Board has no equal. It is the most perfect meal planner/recipe organizing/shopping list app ever created and more - sooooo much more! Serious life hack and saver. I can’t praise it enough. I know what I’m going to cook. I know when I’m going to cook it. I know what I have to buy. I know where to buy it and how much it’s going to cost. EXTREMELY PLEASED!

Love, love, love!

This really has been a life changer! I have been looking for an app like this since the dawn of iPhone. I especially like how easy it is to move the ingredients to different categories to ease the shopping trip. You can find almost any recipe you search for.

Excellent app!

I've been using this app for years now and still love it! Very helpful and easy to use! I love the import features. Web interface is a bit clunky but does it's job and works well.

Amazing App for College Students!

I got a different meal planning app that was free but costed monthly (7.99) to get all of the recipes and I hated it, so I bought this app. Sooo much better than the other app! I love that I can import any recipe from websites, or create a new recipe from my old recipes or ones I find online. Also love that I can put what I have in my pantry on it, and it generates a shopping list. Great app for eating healthy, making family recipes electronic, and for grocery shopping. Also, you can go to mealboard.com and edit/add recipes and view all your recipes so they are always available!

Revisiting MealBoard

I used MealBoard a couple of years ago, but when we stopped following a strict diet I got away from using it, and just stored recipes in Evernote. Evernote has become bloated and slow and I am looking by for better solutions to a number of organization tasks as I go into the new year. Taking another look at MealBoard I am finding it much more polished and very convenient. Being able to import recipes in the iPhone and iPad apps, as well as on the computer is really nice as I almost always use my iPad in the kitchen. The shopping list app I have used for years is getting buggy so I am willing to invest the time into AIH a change. MealBoard has the features I use most and I like the list being generated from the meal plan. As I am shopping monthly I think this will prove useful. I am pleased to see the development that has occurred since I used MealBoard last and I look forward to incorporating it into my new year’s organization.

Simplifies Meal Planning

Awesome app, the recipe import works very well. MealBoard has simplified my meal planning tremendously.

Lifesaver! Almost literally!

I recently started a diet for autoimmune management (AIP) in which many foods are eliminated, hopefully to be reintroduced when symptoms go away. It has been very overwhelming and time consuming. I had already purchased a great cookbook that came with several meal plans but I found it to be out of our budget, not the recipes I most wanted to try, and I couldn't keep up with the pace. I decided I needed an app that would allow me to enter my recipes into it, put them on a meal plan, and then enter the necessary ingredients into my grocery list. I found a few options and tried out two free ones, but one of them wouldn't let you enter recipes, so with my restrictions I would have run through the small selection available to me in a short time (plus my new cookbook would have been wasted), and then another one kept putting the directions into alphabetical order. I decided then that it was worth spending $3 on this one, which had good reviews and it does so much more! I can do all of the things I wanted to do, but also: -I can import recipes from websites (especially useful for a unique and restrictive diet like AIP) -I can log prices of certain groceries, how much I have in stock (pantry inventory!), notes about the item, where I can purchase it, which aisle it will be in, where I can find it in the kitchen etc. -I can export to my phone's calendar. -I can set a reminder to tell me to tend to a meal -Entering ingredients on a recipe will let you put "chopped" separately from "garlic cloves" so that your grocery list doesn't Have 4 different variations of garlic cloves in it. In fact I could edit the grocery list and change 10 garlic cloves to 1 garlic head. -I can choose any 7 days of the week to start - like I could start my meal plan on Wednesday if I wanted, instead of Sunday or Monday. This is nice since I like to take Saturday off for rest, and have to be sure there is enough food to get through the whole weekend. I also refuse to shop on Saturday. -I can automatically scale ingredients so I always have the right amount. -I can categorize recipes any way I want. I haven't figured out what the coupon feature is, and I haven't used it long enough to use a saved meal plan, but those are also features I intend to utilize. Because of this app, I have easily been able to curb spending and food waste. I have been able to enter several recipes from my cookbook and from online, scaled them each to give me enough to last for 3-4 meals, and will now only have to cook 6 meals a week, 1 a day, save Saturday. I am still overwhelmed with this diet change (it was inevitable), but this app helps me to be so much more organized and relieves a lot of my stress. It is also easy to use. In fact, it is so good that writing this positive review (a rare thing) is what I chose to do while briefly prevented from sleeping in the middle of the night... clearly, sleeping habits will be my next hurdle to overcome.
