Easy Menu Planner
You can select the lunch for each day or, if you prefer, let the app decide for you.
The app will also generate a shop list for the week, automatically. You will save money, buying only the items you need.
The app is very easy to use. It helps you organize your week without effort, so you can think in other things.
It doesn't include recipes you have to learn. Instead of it, the app focuses in organizing the dishes you already know how to prepare.
The app includes a set of common dishes, but you can add more dishes to your repertory.
You can add a widget to the Home screen of your device. This way, you can see at a glance what's today for lunch. There's also a widget with the shopping list for this week.
You can resize the widget to show more or less days.
(Note: in some Android devices, you will need to go to Settings->Apps->Easy Menu Planner, and press "move to phone", for the widgets to appear in your widget list).
More features will arrive soon: history, statistics, suggestions to balance better your meal, pictures, email and Calendar integration, sharing with other users... or more ideas the users may propose!

Very much enjoying the app, very simple and efficient. Now that prices are rising all across the board it really helps budgeting and save a few euros every week. Only one thing is missing, the option to color code your dishes. Otherwise I can't complain.
Tags are easily duplicated. After I had three weeks of planned meals I noticed I could "sign in" to have an account with the app. I did and lost EVERYTHING. All the recipes, all the meal planning, and all the insane tags consolidation progress I had made from the ridiculous easy from wich tags can be duplicated. If it weren't for the lost of all my data, I would have tried to make it work. I liked how clean and easy to navigate it was.
I absolutely HATE the last update. It looks horrible and is a lot less functional. It was a nice, simple and easy to use app to plan and see your week's meals at a glance and now it is not. The widget is gone, my saved dishes are gone, it's like a complete different app... But the new design is undoubtedly the worst. I honestly wish there was a way to get the last version back.
I quiet like it but I would love an option to take a picture when creating my own recipe (how the dish look like). Also, sometimes I create a new dish but it doesn't show in my week menu offer:( Additionally, when adding items into shopping list manually, once the same item has been checked as done in the past the app doesn't recall it alone, I have to go into checked and look for it manually:( Thanks
Good in theory, but too glichy. If this app would do what it was supposed to do, it would be great, but recipes that I have entered randomly disappear and have to be added again. Sometimes the ingredients show up on my grocery list, but sometimes they don't. It has a thing showing it can sync with my other grocery shopping list app, but it won't. It's too bad because it is a nice concept.
Update: Since the lastest update, it became very slow. Please fix this. ••••••••••••• I was using this for some time and suddenly the format was changed. At first I didn't like it, but eventually I liked it : scrollable, large blue handwriting style font. Felt more friendly.... Today I opened the app, and again the format was changed, like the old style. Sadly I like the previous one, blue handwriting style, more. Is there a possibility that the previous one comes back? Thanks for the good work!
Simple, effective and easy to use. Lets you save recipes and ingredients for easy future access. Barely any ads on the free version. Doesn't force you to create an account. Lacks a scroll function in calendar and some customization options for the shopping list.
Great app, except for the last 2 updates. When creating a new meal plan you gave to hit 'edit' for every single meal & meal item you want to add - SO annoying & time wasting. Previous versions where there was an an 'open' edit mode where you coulf add multiple meals & items without having to hit 'edit'. App developers, please fix this!
Fab, useful and saves so much time. I haven't forgot anything on my weekly shop since having it. My ONE WISH to make it 5 stars would be to have the shopping list dated and linked to the week I have planned. If I plan more than one week ahead everything is on one list. I shop online so need to book several weeks at a time (especially at the moment with lockdown) as it doesn't seperate the weeks this os difficult to do!
I really like the simplicity of the app. Would be great if you could access your own data base of dishes on a PC (would be easier to enter long recipes, photos etc). But in general is working well for me. Looking forward to calendar integration and sharing options.
This app appears to be just what I'm looking for as it's simple and I believe can be accessed by different users on different devices, so the whole family can view and edit the plan. Unfortunately it does not work in its current state. Half the buttons do not work, you cannot add any dishes or meals and the days of the week have disappeared. I can see that this is a beta version of the latest update. There are clearly some major bugs that need to be resolved to make this app functional.
I used to really like this app but unfortunately when I just signed in under the assumption that doing so would save all of my meals to my Google account so I could pull it up on another device, I was absolutely furious to find that everything I had saved had been deleted. I can't see how to get it back and it took a considerable amount of time to set up. This app has potential but deleting everything I have done without warning is beyond frustrating. I advise you to look elsewhere.
Was great until last updates. Nothing works, meals keep appearing and disappearing, dish list loads forever, switching between weeks takes forever. Also much worse design wise, it's not clear and nice anymore. You could have made more than free columns for meals before, now you only got three. I've never regretted updating something more.
Excellent! Has everything I want and more! My only wish is that I could change the view or display so there would be more distinct separation between the days (maybe a darker line or alternating colors etc). But still, incredible!
Very nice app for the porpoise. Is nice that at the first page I have the calendar. Also is nice that I can I can make the name of the dishes and the ingredients and reselect it when I need. Should be nice if the dishes icon in the calendar could be extendable to cover also two time of the day or all the day (sometimes can happen that you do just a big late lunch and skip the dinner) Also should be nice if the shopping list have the option to divided by weeks and show you just the current week.
Fantastically simple, user-friendly App. It does precisely what I want, making it perfect! If you're looking for an App to summarize your meals (your own recipes by simply listing the major ingredients) and create straight-forward grocery lists for you, then this App is what you need!
Seemed to be just what i was looking for, simce i only need it for dinner planing, but once i got into it it had side dishes as main dishes & vice versa. I dont want to feed my family 3 different protiens & nothing else. It would also be better if it had more variety. Uninstalled it & looking for another app.
I have used this app for a long time and loved it. But since update I cant use app not friendly to use. The shopping list shows all ingredients for all dishes, meals appear and disappear. How can i clear the shopping list and only show items from current week? Where is help feature? Please would really appreciate any tips on how to use the updates. I'm trying real hard to adjust to the update.
I have two kids who require a breakfast and lunch in their tiffins, then there is the home lunch and dinner. With so many meals a day, I was struggling in my planning. I downloaded and tried many apps but what this one provided me, no one else did: changing names of meals, choosing what meals to see in the planner and complete ease of use. The small field of notes for that dish helps me put in name of website / source from where I will refer the recipe. Truly useful since I have so many online resources that I refer recipes from. Just loved it. Many thanks to the developer!
Update since.last review. This app.now works offline and works very smoothly and is extremely useful. I have paid for the app (very reasonably priced) and what I really like is that it doesn't try to do too much. My only critism now is that shopping list is not great. I use a different app for this.
What a rubbish update. No longer looks like the screenshots, only a scrollable view and cannot click on a dish to see its ingredients. All the best features gone. Useless unless it reverts to the previous version.
Straight forward and simple to use but when I go to export my shopping list to an email; it keep stating that there are no items - but on the apps there are plenty of item. This is frustrating.
Are you kidding me?! I've had this app installed for months. Dozens of recipes and ingredients lists GONE. From an unauthorized update with a worse interface and all that data just gone. What a waste of time it was getting this app. Thanks for nothing!
That's a very useful app, but I don't understand how works the shopping list ? When I add new recipe to my menu, nothing is added to the shopping list (e.g. : week 1 I needed tomatoes, I mark them as completed in the shopping list, when recipe finished, week 2 I need tomatoes too, but nothing is added in the shopping list) ?? --> what can I do to refresh my shopping list with new recipes ?? Also I had the same issue than below, everything was deletde when I log in with my google account...
I have been looking for an app just like this. You can customize your meal planner so if you just want to use it for dinner meals or just lunch meals you can. So far a really good app.
EDIT Not good since thr update, it has changed how you view the week view, and the old look was MUCH better, plus the widgets have been removed which is really not good Please update again great app so far, just what i was looking for. Just a few updates needed, like being able to update the shopping list as a meal is added to the week, and not saying i have the ingredients because i used them the previous week.
I really enjoy the simplicity of this app. I would make it 5 stars if it was possible to filter the repertoire by more than one tag. I feel this was possible before but changed. Example: I could not only filter the dishes that are tagged "Main Dish" but also "Veggy". Please make that possible (again?) 🙏
I loved it until they updated it. The old one was so easy to use. When it updated it erased all of my recipes. It is now super slow and won't let me add any meals.
I was going to rate this app 5 stars as it helped me a lot planning meals with my new dietary needs, but I've been very upset to see that when I logged into my Google account, all my carefully created recipes with links and ingredient lists were deleted. I hope this gets fixed soon, as I imagine this happened to others.
This is very good app with features exactly as needed. Very simple to use...It currently has three columns - Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. It lacks one column - Snack, which is inevitable for a good diet planning. Would add one more star when this column is added. Great job in simplifying an apparently simple but complex real-life daily task!
