Spinning Meals Smart Meal Planner App Reviews

Love this app. Just wish it had more categories for the shopping list. It would also be nice if you could sync it with another user. My husband and I shop together. We wish he could load the list on his phone and could mark items off as Were. shopping. It would also be good if the planned recipes stayed up for the week. Sometimes I dont get to cook the planned meal and cant remember all of the meals I plan.

I often have trouble being focused with what I buy, what to make, etc. Ive wanted an app like this for a long time! It works great for importing recipes that I find online and creating a meal plan and list for me! An answer to my prayers!

I absolutely love this app! Ive cooked at home the past 2 weeks (normally lucky if I cook once a month) thanks to this app!!

I love this app. The only thing I would add is a way to mark weekend meals and weekday meals. As a working mom of 5 there are day I dont have much time and need a fast meal. On weekends I have more time and cook a more complicated meal.

Use this app to plan almost every meal. Really nice to have it plan my week and give me a shopping list. Does a pretty good job capturing recipes from webpages I pick. Ive recommended this app to friends and family.

I bought this thinking it had loads of recipes but I understand now that its usefulness depends wholly on user input. Looks good if you are willing to put the time in to add the recipes.

Bought the app to make a fat burning meal plan. App has no provision to do this even though it states it does. Now I cant get it off my phone or get my money back.

Hello DLown4, we would love to explain how the app can handle 5- and even 6-meal-per-day plans. Please send us an email, we would be more than happy to walk you through this, and dont want you to be dissatisfied!

So excited to see this...just what I need, easy planning and the shopping list. No more daily runs to the store. All the work is done for me. Bree Vandekamp look out!

This is exactly what I was looking for to help me meal plan. I get stuck in a rut and do the same meals over and over. Or I think of a recipe but cant recall which book or magazine it was in. And then waste time trying to find it. Problem solved when everything is in one place! Yes, entering all my recipes is time consuming, but its so worth it when I can have everything from old family recipes to different mixes and sauces to the gluten-free recipes I have to have for my husband all in one place! I love that I can add notes to each recipe so I can remember what I need to do differently next time. I love that I can take a picture so I can enter the recipe that way versus having to type everything out. And I love that I can dictate on my phone what the recipe is and save a ton of time. Im in the middle of decluttering my house and by being able to enter each of my recipes from all my old magazines that means that I can get rid of those and free up space in my home. This app is SO worth the money! Its easy and organized so I can plan every meal easily and have more time to play with my two little guys! Oh and I cant say enough good things about the developers. From what Ive seen they REALLY want to know what it is that the customer wants and are quick to reply and let you know if that is in the works or not! I had a reply within a couple hours! So if you have a problem or have ideas for improvements for the app please write them, they want to know!

In order for this to work ideally, plan to spend quite a bit of setup time entering recipes. I did not want to go to that extent, so the recipes I entered were URLs or else just a recipe name and cookbook pg number for reference. This means I gave up the shopping list convenience, although I could have done some minimal ingredient entries if I wanted to use that feature. Still, it was nice to spin and have the meal planning part done. I am extremely impressed with app support and responsiveness to feedback suggestions. I find the app useful as it is now and feel like it will continue to improve as time goes on.

The initial list of recipes is way too limited, and inputting new recipes is too much of a pain. I deleted it, which is too bad because it does seem to have promise.

I love being able to save recipes from the Internet into this planner. It takes a little time before I have tons of recipes in here but it will be fantastic once I do!

This app has really helped out meal managing for my family. Its helpful to be able to change/edit one meal if needed. It is a little time consuming to add the recipes (unless it can dump directly from a website, such a nice feature!). Sometimes I just add recipes as I make them, or just add the name of the recipe, use my cookbook & go back & add the ingredients & instructions later. So no big deal. Thanks!

I am very happy with this app. I have been looking for a long time for a way to organize my recipes and an easy way to plan meals for my family.this app keeps my familys menu fresh so we are not eating the same thing over and over again and I dont have to think about it, I just use the spin option and it puts it in there for me. Its also really nice you can add recipes from a Url which is where I get most of my recipes anyways. And I love that it makes a shopping list so I can make sure I have everything for the week for cooking. But the thing I am most impressed with is the customer service! I emailed them with 2 suggestions (custom user-added categories, and spin from category) and they emailed me back within 2 hours letting me know these improvements were in the works. Its so nice to know your voice is being heard. So happy with my purchase. Would definitely recommend!

This app is saving my sanity and making actual weekly meal planning a reality. While this planning and shopping task used to take hours, and it was incredibly daunting to keep track of recipes and shopping lists, this keeps absolutely everything together! Also, once you set up your preferences and favorite recipes, there is no reason that you cant have a weekly meal plan, recipes, and an organized shopping list created for you within seconds. I noticed that several users have complained that there are not enough choices. You can actually add any recipe in the world. So, your choices are unlimited. Im not sure what the complaints are about. The app comes with a few built-in recipes, mainly to show you how it can be used once you start adding your own, but it is also incredibly easy to add recipes of your own choosing and without doing a bunch of typing on your phone. I was completely WOWed by the ease of adding my own recipes, even from indie food blogs. My sister regularly shares favorite recipes from websites with me, and it only takes a couple minutes for me to add the new recipe to my meal ideas. This is something that I always used to be completely disorganized at, and I would lose track of recipes. Now, Im actually pretty excited to hit up grocery stores, and Ive got a plan! It feels great.

This is a very useful app. The app is worth the $3 I spent because I always overbuy and throw food away. Not with this app! I know exactly what I am cooking and what I need. I used to use a complicated Excel spreadsheet that had many rows and lines for a shopping list. Now I have one less thing on my to-do list. The amount of time spent in the store has decreased which is especially helpful if you have children in tow. Highly recommended!

This app is not useful at all. I want to see more photos and look through different meal ideas quickly. This app is limited and is lacking in many ways. It is not worth $3.

I have been looking for a long time for an app like this. I use it everyday and use the grocery list from it too.

Love that it chooses the meals OR I can substitute.
