Mostly very positive Mostly very positive; sometimes auto populated weekly menus have the tendency to clump foods together— like four kinds of stew in one week. So you replace three of them with other things for variety.

Not worth it for me at this time I found the lowest-tier professional plan too expensive for 1-2 clients. It just didn’t make sense for me, especially when the recipes didn’t show much variation when certain dietary filters, like Paleo, were applied. A client also told me she was having trouble with the shopping list feature in the app. Great idea overall, but I think execution could be improved, along with affordability for just-starting-out professionals.

Mostly very good stuff Mostly very good stuff, very well done. However, some recipes call for "shredded beef" or similar, without factoring in cook the beef. Or the recipe provides a marinade but not the meat to marinade in it (which means you have to put another recipe in place to make sure you also buy the meat. Also, frequently, the recipe proportions are wayyyyy off. Often buy way too much food, even after I cut things in half, especially produce quantities. There are also some recipes where things just don't work, like the raspberry scones where one egg is supposed to be used as a glaze, but the mixture at that point in the recipe is too soft to apply a glaze to. Lastly, it can be finicky to add recipes to the plan. but generally a good tool we continue to use every week.

I love the automated grocery list I love the automated grocery list. For me, that’s worth the cost of the yearly plan alone. I gave it 3 stars because I don’t love a lot of the recipes and when I import recipes from the internet, they don’t always import correctly. For instance, amounts of ingredients will be wrong or items will be missing from the grocery list. But even so, I would still purchase it again just for having an automated grocery list.

5 years and going strong! I’ve been using RealPlans for 5 years. I can’t imagine life without it! It makes meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking so simple! I recommend it to friends all the time. I also love that the app keeps getting better with new recipes and features.
