Prepear - Meal Planner, Grocery List, & Recipes

Seamless integration between recipes, shopping lists, and then ordering those shopping lists from Walmart! I love this app! From finding recipes I like to getting the stuff I need to cook it. Plus, they are constantly adding new content and bloggers. And their recipes aren't chalk full of ads like they are online!

Before one can even take a look at the software, one is forced to create yet another account with yet another company, in this case via Fakecrook or Doodle. Furthermore, there is no possibility to purchase the software once and for all, i.e. customers are being bled dry ad infinitum. Since there are functionally superior competitor products that can be bought instead of rented, this milkingware has been replaced and uninstalled.

Another 1 star review, this app used to be much better than it is now. Currently it crashes on launch about 50% of the time, and every time it is trying to get me to "upgrade" and the UI doesn't fit my screen properly. Also, in addition to the above nag everytime I cold launch the application, the side by side mode has been nerfed even more now. And searching doesn't show me all of my recipes. I understand the need to make money, but honestly I think this is not the way to do it.

Keeps crashing while I'm trying to look at my grocery list.

My favorite meal planning app. I like that I have the option to scroll through their recipes or add my own. I've had some trouble with the feature that is supposed to add all the ingredients from my plan onto my grocery list. It seems to miss a lot of items. I just add each recipe into the list individually instead, so it's not much of a problem. Overall super happy though.

They never list all of the ingredients in the ingredients section. I'll be in the middle of cooking, and it will ask for something random like apple cider vinegar or a chopped tomato and it will never be listed!! And sometimes it leaves the ingredients list items out of the recipe! Waste of time and money spent on groceries for this app to mess it up. I had to tweak a lot of things in order to use it.

I love the meal planner and automatic grocery list, saves me from forgetting ingredients for recipes and keeps me from picking up unneccesary items at the grocery store. Great to have all my recipes - from the web as well as my own, in one place. Nutrition info and scaling the recipe (e.g. if you want to do 3 servings instead of 4) a good bonus. You will need to invest some time to key in your own recipes, but the effort is worth it IMO. Very rich in features.

Very nice app, very organized and a lot of useful features for a free app. Only issue I have is that I can't upload any photos, no profile picture and no recipe photos and I can't figure out why. When clicking on add photo, the file picker opens, I choose the picture, hit "done" and then I'm presented the rotating loading circles for an indefinite amount of time, without anything happening, not even after 10 minutes of waiting. Using Huawei Nova 5T on Android 10 and EMUI 11.

this app has a lot going for it, but some significant shortfalls at the moment. The biggest shortfall is cost, if you want to subscribe to one of the meal plans - $10 per month. The other big shortfall is content - there is a recipe "feed", but very few bloggers contributing to it at the moment...the grocery list can be tricky, make sure you are using the same "measurement" across recipes, but even then results are iffy. HOWEVER I love having a menu planner and place to store recipes, share, etc

I've been using this app for 2 weeks now and absolutely love it! Not only are the recipes really easy and delicious, my kids love them too! I think the "Prepear mode" while cooking a recipe, to show on half the screen your ingredients and the other half the instructions, is genius. But I think my favorite part is the shopping feature and how it auto-populates the ingredients into a search. I haven't stepped foot in a grocery store in 2 weeks and it has been wonderful.

So very broken. Glitchy, confusing, and the developers are constantly revamping the app. (I think they're still trying to figure out how to monitize.) Your shopping list is unreliable, with items disappearing and reappearing randomly. The backend servers seem sluggish and unresponsive, because sometimes the app won't load your lists or recipes. It also has a walled garden model, so you can't share/download any, except with other people with the same app. Though you can print from their website.

This app was great before the changes. I often recommend it and shared on social media encouraging others to join. But not anymore since they made it so difficult to use. The biggest draw for me was the ease of adding a recipe from the website, now if you use that feature you cannot edit the recipe or the ingredients list. Now you view the recipe in a small window that takes you to the original website where you have to deal with pop ups and lots of scrolling to find the actual recipe.

Best recipe and meal planning app I've ever used! Great features, adding and categorizing recipes is a breeze compared to Paprika and others I've used in the past. The UI is beautiful too! Love that the experience is nearly the same on both my phone (Android) and on the iPad (iOS) as I often interchange the two when cooking. My only "criticism" would be that the nutrition section is fairly basic, but all of the main info is there. Would love to see some sort of integration with Fitbit or Lifesum in the future, but until then I'll continue using and loving Prepear!

Amazing for meal prepping This app is ready to use and VERY handy for planning or meals too easy during the week. I love the grocery list feature as well. Lets you scale it to the amount of servings you intend on making, and you can modify the list too account for what you already have as you add things. Very well thought out. This app has won me over and changed the way I eat forever!

Absolutely in love with this app! I use it for all my cooking needs and planning with it makes my life so much easier. I hope they continue development for a loooong time. Edit down to 3 stars because of the new price and forcing you to pay monthly. I gladly would have paid up to 6usd a month for the gold but 120 usd in one round is not doable. Moving to a different app within my budget.

Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled and now the app seems to be fine...editing to 3 stars from 1...will reserve judgment until I've used it more. Orig: My review disappeared...how strange. Reposting, I don't know what happened in yesterday's update, but the app no longer works. I just get a blank white screen when I open it. Yesterday I was able to plan my meals for the week and create a grocery list, but today, nothing. Not good since I needed my grocery list today!

I absolutely love this app! It's super easy and convenient to use! I have a lot of allergies and it takes that into consideration when finding recipes. I can even edit the recipes that I have found. It makes meal preparation easy and fun! They merged my recipe list with my grocery list for FREE! This is the best app I've ever used hands down!

Update changed or took away the entire reason I got this app after searching for hours to find a good one. You can't import recipes anymore, just bookmark the original site. Then when you scroll to the directions, pop us repeatedly block everything. If I wanted to bookmark a website, I could do that on my phone, tablet or computer. I don't need an app to bookmark. PUT IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS! It was so much better before the update made it useless.

Really like to ease of the app, I am able to add my own receipes and recipes from the internet. Then I can put my weeks menu together and it is supposed to create a grocery list. I only gave it three stars because i could not add any more recipes from the internet. For some reason it keeps giving me an error and takes me back to the last recipe I saved.

I have never been able to figure out an easy way to menu plan and hate the process. Since using this app, it has been so much easier and Iove that you can use recipes from the app or save your own recipes from the web. Also love that it creates a shopping list for you based on the recipes in your menu plan.

It looked really promissing - all the features that I was looking for, but once I installed it and wanted to start by adding my own recipe, there was a major issue. No matter how many times (and different phots) I tried, a photo for the recipe couldn't be uploaded. I also tried saving the recipe without a photo, but it simply didn't work. I hit the green button Save and then I am pushed back to the main recipe window where I can't click Save and if I click Back, the recipe isn't saved.

Prepear is an easy way to find yummy, healthy meals and put then in your meal plan easily. It creates a shopping list divided by category and it is easy to check off as you get each item. It also has a pantry where you can tell it the staple ingredients you always have and don't need to buy. Definitely an app you should get to simplify and organize mean planning.

It has so much potential... but.. when try to set up things at desktop for the first time, it does not work. When I clicked on something, ie : add a recipe.. etc... sometime it works , sometime it does not! Spending too much time on trying to figure out what will work, what not! Please help to stablize it and make it work.. thank you very much...

It's so easy to use. The meal planning feature is great but the real gem is that you can take the meal plan for the week and automatically make a grocery list from the ingredients in the meal plan. That way you can ensure that you never forget an item you need. It's also easy to create your own recipes or take ones you found on the internet by simply copying and pasting the link to the recipe. Then Prepear automatically turns it into a meal for you!

It is so easy to add recipes from the web or by cut and paste. This app instantly formats the recipe for you! I love that feature. Making a shopping list is super easy and it will even omit ingredients from my shopping list that I have deemed pantry items. I use both the app on my phone and on my laptop. It keeps your device from going to sleep while you are preparing a recipe so you don't have to keep touching your dirty device. I love this appb and have recommended it to all my friends.

I've been using this app for 2 years now. I love it. In fact, I upgraded to Gold because it's such a great help to me. When I remember to use it, we eat properly. I don't default to buying pizza or having another night of boxed nuggets and fries! My favourite thing is using the premade plans. That way, I honestly don't have to figure out what do put on the calendar. Does every meal work for our family? Nope. But at least it gives me a base to work from - like if there is a noodle dish that won't work for us, I know that I can make a noodle meal that night, etc. I am thankful that I can drag recipes around on the plan so if something needs more time and I know I won't have time that day, I can shift it around. Or I can delete and replace a recipe if it's a total "no" for us. I appreciate the cook view because then I don't have to scroll up and down with messy fingers to remember how much of something to add. I've discovered and tried foods I never would have made before (like cornbread!) and even my wildly picky children have had new foods and tasted things that they wouldn't! Plus - the grocery lists are perfect. I can take things off that I already have and add things that we need before I print it out. (I used to do it right on my phone, but like the paper version better while at the store.) I tell everyone about Prepear and how it's helping me save so much stress about meal time, which I totally need as a WAHM who homeschools 5 kids. Thanks for your terrific app. :)
