"I am thoroughly enjoying your MealPlan app!" "Super app!" "Finally - a simple, easy-to-use menu planning app that looks good as well."
Now with Apple Watch (watchOS 4) support!
MealPlan is a weekly meal and grocery planning app that's focused on getting the job done efficiently. You use a simple interface to plan out meals like “Hamburgers on Thursday, Fish and Rice on Friday”. Recent meals are easily available or you can type in new items the first time you use them.
MealPlan is a universal app, and will sync between your iPhone and iPad using either iCloud or Dropbox. Plan your meals on the iPad's big screen, and automatically have your grocery list with you on your phone. And access your grocery list from your Apple Watch.
MealPlan creates your grocery list as you're planning meals. When you're done, tap the Grocery Basket to see the list, add new items, mark off items you already have, and then print it, email it, or sync it with your iPhone. This is a huge time saver!
And, on the iPad, once you’ve used the app for a few weeks, the Magic Wand will help you quickly fill out subsequent weeks, with a quick suggestions interface.
Features include:
- Simple interface to plan out meals.
- Keep track of recipes and the groceries they use.
- Automatically generated grocery list based on your meal plan.
- Save grocery lists for later use (think "Party" or "Camping").
- Save a week's planned meals as a template to reuse.
- Combined search/add box makes it easy to add new items.
- Print out a week's plan to any AirPrint printer.
- Configure your own meals: Add snacks, or remove breakfast if you don't want to plan it.
- Email a plain text summary of the week's plan.
- Add a note to any meal item, including clickable links.
- Dropbox sync for families with multiple devices and accounts.
- Use Siri for groceries: "Add Milk to my Grocery List".
"Before MealPlan, I’d buy food at the grocery store and then forget I had it .. a few days later it would go to waste. A few minutes every week standing in front of the fridge with MealPlan in hand will help you get the most out of what you have on hand. Plan it, print it out and stick it to your fridge!"

No recipe storage

I somehow overlooked that this app does not actually store recipes. I totally wasted my money.
Wasted money

They choose not to have their star rating visible for obvious reason. It's difficult to add new items. Just don't buy this, find something more user friendly and less deceptive.
Best meal planner for iOS

This is an easy to use tool that is easy to use, configurable, supports multiple devices, syncs across devices, imports recipes, etc.
Great App

Love this app, it is very easy to use. I like that you can even search recipes online and add them to plan and grocery list. Only thing I would like to see is being able to add my own recipies.
It is ok

This app is alright. I would not say it is the best. A couple of things that would make it better would having the choice making the calendar to see the whole month. And having a choice to have reminders.
Huge help

I'm really loving this app. I am able to plan meals, upload a recipe or link to a website and get a grocery list. The only thing right now is I would love to see days that have a planned meal highlighted in a different color than days without any plans. Just so the planned meals jump at me at a glance.
Okay

Nice idea, however just as the previous user said, it would be better if it can show the whole month.
Not good for bodybuilding

The style of this app is wonderful and I love that it creates a grocery list for you, but I need to be able to create more than 5 meals. I wish there was an option for more than 5 meals, hopefully that will be an upgrade because I feel as if it should be offered anyone because it's a paid for app.
