So helpful! Has revolutionized my approach to cooking/groceries and empowered me to grow! One thing that I would love to see is the ability to add your own notes to saved recipes. "Husband thought it needed more seasoning", "Add extra beans", "Great leftovers!" etc. Would be very helpful when you make a recipe again. Absolutely terrific app 👍🏼

Love it! Meal planning is a breeze with the feature. Helps keep me on track with time, financial, and health goals. The availabilty of so many different recipes keeps the palate from boredom while pursuing goals. I used it reviously on my Lg app.I would have given 5 stars but my order did not sync to the cart in the Walmart app so had to manually add each item. Also, staple pantry ingredients such as salt, pepper, and oil should populate differently where you check only if needed.

I love the idea and the features, some features I'd like to see added, expand the ingredients to avoid so you can add your own (like beef liver, something we'll never use or sesame seeds because someone can't eat them). a way to dislike recipes. not rate them, but just hide them from your results all together.

Just downloaded the app and I enjoy the interface. The problem I'm facing is related to the zip code. I put in my zip code, which is on the Atlantic side of Florida, but the app has put a completely different zip in Tampa -- 3 hours away from me. I'm not seeing any way to go in and correct it, which is why I can only give it 2 stars. If someone can help me correct this id honestly give it a 5 out of 5

I had high hopes for this app due to the rave reviews, however that was not the case. Anything off of the home screen tells me an error code. The app is unusable unfortunately.
