MealPrepPro Planner & Recipes 4+

Superb app

This app is brilliant. For a long time I’ve been using an app to track calories. Tracking calories got very tedious and put me off trying to achieve my goals at the gym. I searched the web for an app that creates a meal plan and this popped up. Little did I know, Meal Prep Pro creates a meal plan, sorts out your calories based on your goal (losing weight, maintaining or gaining) and personal attributes (such as height and weight) ,and gives you a variety of recipes which are swappable. You can even tell it you’re ‘eating out’ and it suggests what foods to eat and how much too (calorie wise).

You can also create a shopping list, which comes in handy as it’s not always easy to tell how much food you need but this app helps with that.

If I had any criticism for this app, it would be not enough recipes and perhaps swapping ingredients, say you don’t like ‘mushrooms’ and want to swap for another vegetable.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts in the review. I'm really pleased you found MealPrepPro and that it's been helping you with your goals.

RE: More recipes - We hear you 100% - we're always updating the app with more content. Lots of new recipes are coming your way soon!
RE: Ingredient swaps - We don't regularly get this request, but I can see how it would be useful. Perhaps this is something we can bring to MealPrepPro in future.

Exceptional app!

I have been using the app for a few weeks now. Personally I have found very useful for selecting a higher protein based plan, easy to follow recipes, great for meal prepping for the week ahead. The selection of meals are tasty and varied, and you can choose between quicker to prepare options for when time is tight, or meals that take slightly longer to prepare. I like that new meals are added regularly. I like that you can add partners meals with plenty of customisation for frequency of their meals, calories etc. I REALLY like that it creates a shopping list for you. Whilst it doesn’t link directly to external grocery apps, I’m not sure I would want this unless it was done really well, as I’d rather add stuff to the shopping myself than have to review each item if it had been added to an external grocery app automatically. My only worry is that the developers stop working on this app in the future, it is that good and I really enjoy using it and find it super helpful. I haven’t found anything else that ticks all the boxes. Well done and thank you, please keep up the great work!

Unrealistic and expensive recipes

I’ve been looking for an app like this for a while that are organised with meal prepping in mind, to allow me to organise myself for the week and spend less money and time on food.

Firstly the app is very well designed and has a lot going for it, but for my first meal plan for a week it proposed a shopping list with 69 separate ingredients to buy for only 4 meals! These were mostly spices and the like, but a lot were unnecessary variations of similar ingredients, such as garlic cloves and garlic paste. I get that the idea is to add variation but the meals aren’t organised practically with budget (or sense) in mind, and are often ingredients suited to that one recipe that aren’t very versatile to be used in other meals. Also the app doesn’t allow you to indicate food you can’t eat or don’t like.

The overall organisation and planning of the app is A+. If the meal plans were a bit more realistic in terms of number of ingredients, budget, versatility, time, etc I would easily give it five stars; but as it is I don’t think I’ll pay for the subscription.

Hi there! We've been listening to feedback like this and we've added some really simple 5 minute meals that use less ingredients. Our recent updates have had a great reception - I thought I'd reach out just in case the app might be helpful for what you are looking to achieve.
