Mixed experience Mixed experience. Really like the ease of scheduling meals and shopping list function. But there aren’t enough good recipes, and the excluding ingredients function is either wonky or too complicated, so recipes are showing up with ingredients I thought I had excluded.

You can be healthy AND lazy I like to stick to a certain diet and make homemade meals but am terrible about planning or remembering to do anything, so RealPlans is perfect. I was able to pick a diet type to start with and then modify it for my specific needs. I've loved almost all of the recipes, and I particularly love not having to think about it at all.

Incredibly versatile I am impressed with how many different dietary styles are accommodated by Real Plans. I think the common denominator is “real” food. It’s whole foods, in whatever style you choose. I myself have used the Paleo, Vegan, Classic, and GAPS styles. Real Plans is very versatile and perfect for our family. There are so many customization and automated options that it has taken me a long time to utilize them all. Basically, if you do something specific with your meal planning (like pancake Saturday mornings), there are settings to automate that. Pretty awesome. The only complaint I have is that I love to pre-plan a month’s meals at a time, but you can only do three weeks at a time, and it’s a bit difficult to do so because the app likes to reset you to the current week. Also, as I go along and want to tweak my settings, usually any tweaking requires you to erase all future planned meals, which keeps me from changing things to accommodate our schedule better. But overall, best meal planning app I’ve ever used. You can also upload and enter your own recipes or online recipes. Time consuming, but helpful for planning family favorites.

I love the recipes and being able to… I love the recipes and being able to access them easily. I was not dedicated enough to set up meal plans, and decided to opt out. Should I become more focused on planning meals, I’ll definitely renew.

Not what I thought it was I never even opened the app or used the service. I misunderstood what this was and signed up thinking it was part of Whole 30 because of an endorsement and an ad. By the time I realized my error, I reached out and they refused to give me my money back because I was beyond the allotted days for return. They wouldn't even agree to a partial return. Made me sad more than anything else.
