Contact Mealime Meal Plans Recipes Support

This App is nice and is giving me some recipe ideas however there are a few things that would make it shine in my opinion. To be fair I am trying to eat healthier so there is a slant towards options to help with that.
1. Show the nutrition on the front page instead of making me dig into a drop down menu. This would help me decide to add it to the meal plan in the first place.
2. Many ingredients are not measured in the total Nutrition. For example, I have seen several times now where an ingredient is listed but an amount is not given. Mayo being one of them. It is often added in the instructions itself but the amount is omitted from the Ingredients and treated as though it is a spice. This seems very misleading for someone trying to limit calories or count macros.
3. Create a way to reorganize the meals into Morning, Day, and Evening. It would be great to open the app and choose “Breakfast” and see only what you have filtered into that mealtime.
I am going to try and adjust some of these meals with substitutions based on my current needs and see how that works. I am still on the fence about keeping the app until I try some modifications but in the meantime I am happy to have at least some meal inspirations at the ready.

Loved the app because you choose recipes for the week, and it will auto compose a grocery list- yay! Even better was after you purchased the grocery item or if you already had that item in your cupboard you could mark it off the list and it would disappear- easy peasy. Loved the concept of reducing food waste too!
Going to be candid about the part I was disappointed with- not a big fan of the recipes. Maybe I chose not great recipes? I felt there was limited selection of different types of recipes - The 4 recipes I’ve done so far are wordy, lengthy, more info than necessary, plus it’s kinda hard to follow because there is a lot of unnecessary prep and lots of dishes to use- which means extra cleaning afterward... the recipes are a little over complicated. A good dish doesn’t need to be overloaded with spice or ingredients.
I have a family, last thing I want to do is use a ton of extra pots/pans/bowls and kitchen items, stove/oven/ and 5 different mixing bowls plus something else all just for one meal. I don’t need the fanciest dinner in the world, just something healthy, straightforward, easy. If I had all the time in the world would be fine, but I’m a busy mom and if some recipes could be a little easier and more simplified than I don’t mind doing a few other recipes that are more involved.
A better selection of recipes, include options for crockpot recipes, would make me want to use this app weekly.

I want so so so bad to give this app 5 stars. It deserves it. It really does. I cannot appreciate enough the magic this app brings to my kitchen when I can enter gluten & dairy allergies & instead of just taking away all the recipes that don’t specifically say they’re GF/DF, it just adjusts the recipes to make them what I can have! So instead of wheat/white flour, use GF all purpose flour, or almond flour, or instead of sautéing something in butter, sauté it in oil. These are all changes that I would naturally make if I was following a recipe in order to fit my allergies, but they do it for me. It’s the most beautiful thing I have seen in a recipe app by far. That alone makes me want to give it 10 stars.

The only only drawback I have is that it doesn’t adjust recipes for families. I have a family of five, and we like to have leftovers. The most I can set this app to is 4 servings, which obviously doesn’t even feed everyone in my house for dinner, let alone leftovers. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see that option upped to any number a family might need instead of limiting to 4. It also seems the total cook time is always WAY more than what is listed, even if I’ve done some steps ahead of time. Maybe it’s just me.

But otherwise, I really do love this app & am so grateful for the allergy options. Best app for allergy recipes I’ve EVER seen!
