About this app

Meal Manager - Weekly Meal Planner and Shopping List is a free menu planner app and recipe keeper that makes the creation of your weekly meal plan easier and stress-free. It allows you to plan your daily meals as well as snacks for the current and all future weeks in a simple way. You can also consult your meal calendar from the past weeks.
Next to that there is a built-in shopping list and a list of your ingredients at home / pantry.
For a monthly fee it is possible to link your partner and share your food planning instantly.
Do you want to set up rules like 'Monday is chicken day' or 'you have to eat at least 1 vegetarian meal a week', no problem. This app allows you to set up an unlimited number of meal rules.
You don't always have to open the app to check your meal plan. You can set up notifications for the meals or menu of the day and the menu of the next day.
This weekly food planner is a handy tool for both small and large families to manage their weekly menu calendar and meal plan, if you're on a diet (e.g. keto, whole30, forkes over knives, mediterranean diet ...) or not. You can even use it as a diabetic meal planner.

It doesn't matter if try to lose weight or if you follow the keto, paleo, whole30, forkes over knives, fodmap, herbalife, atkins or vegan diet. You can use this app as family meal planner or diabetic meal planner. Or for your mediterranean diet & meal plan. This app is very flexible and should be able to fulfill your needs.

I recommend this non-caloric based app for digital meal planning. It's not entirely customizable to fit your aesthetic, but you can set a background photo. The grocery list function takes a couple tries to get the hang of because it's not a true checklist, and it doesn't automatically sort itself by aisle until you set ingredients to their aisle.

The only meal planner app that my fiance and I use. Love that you can have two people logged in separately and it syncs in real time. An extremely nice feature is that you can find your recipe online and import it right into your meal plan. No going back and forth for the groceries you'll need either. Just check the boxes for the ingredients in the recipe and it automatically adds it to your shopping list. The cost per month is less than a dollar so it's completely worth it!

So far so good. I paid for the premium since it was a very reasonable price. Not everything copies perfectly but that is to be expected. Grocery list option is handy. I love being able to have a list of what is in my pantry. It would be nice if the app could make recipe recommendations based on the ingredients that I have on hand, but that is the only feature that I feel is missing. Everything else is good (not perfect but definitely usable). I am a huge menu planner and this has helped me.
