Pros and cons of Spinning Meals Smart Meal Planner app for iPhone and iPad

Spinning Meals Smart Meal Planner app good for

This app makes meal planning and shopping super easy. Takes a little while to input or import recipes at the beginning but once that initial hurdle is passed it makes life so easy.
now this is good! a MUST have app for culinary challenged people such as myself. it really could not be any easier. thanks for a life-saver app!!!
I write that because I havent quite figured out to use the app yet, but when I sent a email Ryan replied in like minutes willing to help me. That says a a lot . I am certain that the app will be great lets just hope my cooking is too
Once set up with recipes, this very unique app actually makes meal planning fun and shopping for ingredients easy! The initial work of adding your own recipes is well worth the result. Great app support also -- the developer is very responsive to suggestions and email requests.
This app will be really excellent once it can sync to multiple devices.
Everything you need to get meals and planning organized - fantastic.

Some bad moments

There are only a few recipes a d they just shift the days each recipe Was on when you re-spin. Its a waste..... If they add more recipes then if would be fine but for now its unless
A total waste of time and if you have to pay for it then youll kick yourself after. Why u ask. Well there is 15 recipes AND the recipe for spaghetti and meatballs. Calls for a jar of sauce. Ill make an app too. Deluxe pizza- pick up phone. Dial local pizza parlor. Now give me money for telling u. Sheesh what a rip off.
this app was a waste and hasnt been updated in ages. Will not work for me and only pulls up the same 5-6 recipes.
When trying to add recipes via a URL it says that it cannot happen at this time and to try again later. I close the app and try again and it still doesnt work. Also, a pop up from apple says that the software is not up to date and the app is slowing down my phone due to developer needing to provide an update. Not being able to add a recipe via a URL means you have to manually add everything instead of it pulling info from the website and filling in the blanks. Much more time consuming. Pretty disappointed I wasted my money on this app with developers who dont care to stay up to date with their software.
Living overseas, I dont have my favorite cookbooks at hand. This great app lets me store my recipes. Finding new recipes on line is easy through the app and it will "capture" the recipes. You can assign a category, season of the year or add it to a meal plan. The shopping list is never left at home - it is in the app in your hand! Love it!
Such a great app. No more of the same old meals week after week. No more forgetting about that recipe you keep meaning to try. Who has time to plan meals for the week? That’s no longer a problem. And the developer, Ryan, is pretty awesome as well. I had some problems with the app initially and left a bad review, but Ryan contacted me within 24 hours, was incredibly solicitous and professional and we worked out the kinks with a simple spring cleaning and a reboot. Great guy, great app! Thanks. :)
