v5.31.1

you guys want a subscription to get a recipe that's behind a paywall ? Every recipe is already on the Internet for free. also I said I didn't want to use beets or avocados and it suggested several recipes with both of those ingredients. if I need somebody to ask me what I want and ignore my answer I'll talk to my family. I don't need an app for that

I'm so glad I came across this app. I was looking for something that would, not only help me plan meals but, would allow me to explore new, healthy meals. This app does just that. Now I have one place where I can find new recipes, plan them, learn them, and even buy the ingredients from my local store all in the same app! I really love it so far.

Love, love, and love. Truly one of the best apps ever. I love how it has the ingredients list, and click add button it takes you exactly where to purchase all ingredients and what stores has the following ingredients showing you what's in stock and out of stock. I also love how you can add and take from the recipes meaning how you can swab out something for example like shellfish if you have food allergies without ruining the entire recipe. 2 years using it I've gain my excellent health back.

Nice organization. Difficult to save recipes though. I was hoping it would be easy to import my recipes, but when I paste the URL it keeps saying there is an error and to try a different recipe. I tried to take a screen shot of the ingredients, because they are tedious to enter manually, but that didn't work either. Any ideas?
