I love this app! I can add recipes. I can tailor my food allergies and preferences. I can change my plans based on how many people I'm feeding. It's worth the yearly subscription for those alone BUT the money shot is the shopping list function that gives me my list by the layout of my chosen grocery store! Seriously, if I could get them to sponsor me, I'd sing praises everywhere!
This app is not all its cracked up to be. AIP recipes are not necessarily AIP. There is no ability to customize recipes or filter out foods/ingredients I don't like. There weren't really many AIP recipes and once you get in you they try to sell you additional AIP recipe packs at an ADDITIONAL $1-$5/month. It says you can cancel within 10 days, but when I cancelled same day I bought it, it said my cancelation was effective in 30 days. I wrote customer service to cancel. We'll see what they say
Several glitches that make this annoying. 1. The recipes claim to be AIP, for example, but include ingredients that are not AIP such as sugar. 2. I can't click on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, so there's no way to get from the search feature to the menu feature without first adding a meal to the menu. 3. Once I set my menu, I wanted to view it. None of the meals I'd planned where on the menu. Instead, some sample menu was already planned and added to my shopping list. Not worth it!
I like this service a lot on a laptop/desktop, but I do want to use the shopping list on my phone. I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't want to constantly have data on (it's cheaper for me to NOT have an unlimited plan). I pull up my list and it's there, but the behavior is wonky. 1. If I scroll up too high to see the top of the list (easy to do) it tries to refresh and then the screen freezes. I have to close the app, turn on my data, and restart the app. 2. Apparently I'm at my word limit.
Do not purchase!This app would be great if it worked! I have filtered for Whole30 recipes only and it will still populate recipes from other programs. I have selected recipes to favorites 2 separate times and they don't save. I have now tried canceling the subscription and it won't allow me, it keeps coming back as "failure" to cancel. Too bad it would have been convenient but the $27/month fee is outrageous for it even if it did work, which it doesn't!!
I'm giving this app 3 stars because of the cost. I've been using it for one year and have absolutely loved it, but the 100.00 a year cost is just too much. Especially of you add in some of the other subscriptions such as Nom Nom Paleo, Real Food Dieticians, Fed and Fit, etc. I have a lot of food sensitivities and this was a life saver, but a little too expensive for me and I hate giving it up.
I love the features in this app, the grocery lists, recipe importing, calendar style planning, but I wish more than one used could contribute. There are two cooks in the house and we can't both use the same account. I'd be ok with paying for both of us, but both being about to update the plan.
Used to like this app until the latest update caused the shopping list feature to no longer function. I sent a service request in and was told thst i would reciece an uodate when it was fixed. im still waiting to hear back and in the meantime i was told to print the shopping list out from the pc app..... The whole reason i like real plans is so i dont have to make multiple lists....
I love the platform on the computer, but the app is terrible!! You can't even see what's on next week's plan that you just planned over the computer. It won't show you on the app. That's a problem if I'm at the store and realized I want to change things up. It also is not streamlined with the grocery list and pantry it seems. Sad, I was looking forward to a seamless process.
Real plans is the best! I use it for the AIP and it's exceptional for those with food restrictions OR anyone simply wanting to cook .. isn't that everyone? Yes it is! Real plans lets you choose what you enjoy, avoid what you don't, savea you money and helps you eat healthy .. just what everyone needs. Can't recommend this app highly enough! Use the free recipes or add your family favorites manually. It puts the plan together and your shopping list .. best thing ever!
unless you have an issue diet (gf, primal, vegan, etc...) then the recipes provided are not particularly worth much. But importing is great. Wish there was a way to hide recipes you didn't want shown as you have to keep scrolling through their recipes that you don't want. Update: another suggestion is to look at the way the notes in ingredients are set up. I'm an American living in the UK and so I import a lot of US recipes and the equivalent isn't always correct.
2 weeks in and I'm finding the app to be really useful and easy to use with the help of the tutorials! It's just so good to have a plan that fits all my dietary requirements likes and dislikes, comes up with great recipes and I just love the shopping list too. I've tried a few other apps and this is the best yet.
It took me awhile to figure it out but I love the recipes and how it takes away the stress of meal planning. I live 20 miles from the grocery store so planning a week ahead is great! I wish the recipes had nutrition info though so I know If I'm getting enough calories or too many.
BUYER BEWARE!!!! This app is expensive and costs way too much for what it offers. Save yourself time and money it has no redeeming qualities. But, like many other reviews state they will charge and charge and refuse to admit their practices are shady at best. Save your $30 mo or $49 quartely. They will bill without even a simple email. Also, customer service will refuse to refund your charges even with many calls and requests. DO NOT TRUST THEM.
DO NOT PURCHASE any of the plans. Despite not having a refund policy anywhere on the website, they will not refund you. Honestly they're a class action lawsuit waiting to happen and I can't wait until it does. If you upgrade with the add-ons they still barely show any of those recipes in your meal plan. If you try to import recipes they never save and disappear right away. Recipes are bland, repetitive and boring.
I don't like that you have to commit to a plan first.. I would like to see the app before I put any bank details in. I need to know if you can choose ingredients such as onion, garlic, prawns, avocado, salmon, soya etc that are the be excluded from the recipes and only meals without these ingredients are suggested? Maybe a free trial before the payment plan page would be a good idea.
I had this app & service for 2 years & found I was only using it for the grocery list so I cancelled months before my renewl was up only for them to renew me again for this year. I contacted them, told them I cancelled, they told me their accounting dept. would get back to me. They did & told me they cancelled my subscription but could NOT refund me for this year that they charged me. I am furious after being a loyal supporter for 2 years. Don't waste your money. Get "OUR GROCERY" app!
App keeps freezing and crashing. Also as of today it keeps saying I have no active subscription despite a) having a sub and b) using the website with no log-in issues. Great service but the app is awful. Do not recommend.
Hard to maneuver...couldn't figure out how to get a full week planned or how to easily change menu options in the plan provided. Felt like a waste of time.
Glitchy but improving. Cancelling because $9 a month to $14 to $18 is not a pattern I want to continue, not with so many meal planning apps. I liked this one but it's cost-prohibitive at this point.
newly relaunched app wont let me import recipes. i get to the select a photo part and it doesnt recognize the pics in the weblink and won't let me move any farther forward in the import process as a result. disappointing.
This worked so well for us. Loved being able to plan my menus on my phone and it was so nice to be able to have the app-generated grocery lists on my phone so I could conveniently take it to the store.
I signed up for this plan with my debit card. The transaction was processed but I was not able to log in to the app. The app just directed me to create a new acct. Unprofessional and misleading. No tech support.
Everything is four times more complicated than it needs to be. Most recipes call for at least one ingredient I've never heard of. None of the recipes are quick, usually requiring a time consuming unnecessary step.
BAIT AND SWITCH! NOT A FREE APP! It says its "free." Sure, it is free to download, but as soon as you open the app it wants a monthly or yearly paid subscription to be able to actually use the app. Don't waste your time!
They advertise a low-FODMAP diet, but do not actually offer one. my first menu was full of ingredients that are not compatible with a low- FODMAP diet and I cancelled immediately.
We love the app but I wish since things about the interface we're more user friendly. This is by far the best meal prep planner we've found.
Since they've fixed the glitch with shopping lists, it's a great app! I quite like realplans, it's simple & easy to use.
This has to be my favorite application on my phone. These recipes are the tastiest, easiest, and healthiest I have found anywhere. My wife and I have used dozens of recipe sources but this one is by far the best. It's worth every penny of the subscription. I absolutely love it. They could make the weekly meal planner ui a little easier to use.
