Pros and cons of Avocado Meal Planner - Meal planning, recipe handling and grocery shopping made easy app for iPhone and iPad

Avocado Meal Planner - Meal planning, recipe handling and grocery shopping made easy app good for

I like this app very much. It is so nice to put all my favorite recipes in this app. I tried to get recipes from one of the website the have listed, but it did not work. Also would be very convenient if I could get recipes from any website no just the ones the have listed.

I love that this app is completely customizable, and the auto-arrange of grocery aisles is so helpful!

This app is awesome for organizing recipes and building menus. No longer will I go to the grocery store and forget that one item I needed for a dish I wanted to make that week. Great app support too!!

Great for us. Limited space and time in our full time rv lifestyle. Even better once I can upgrade and add all our recipes

This app is well planned and easy to use. I love that its so easy to add my own ingredients - and then they remain for future use.

This app has been great and very useful! Entering recipes is a bit cumbersome time-wise, but it is definitely worth it in the end, especially if you are on a budget and dont want to end up buying more than you need.

Some bad moments

Terrible. Only allows 5 recipes to be imported before you have to pay to upgrade. Tried uploaded recipes from Allrecipes.com and kept saying "Failed. Check your internet connection." Im seeking a different app.

The available measurements for ingredients are absurd. Its okay to have milliliters and kilos, but we need pounds too! And deciliters? Who has time for that? And everything else is tedious. I do not recommend

...Until I realized CUPS isnt an included measurement on the list, so I cant actually create a recipe. Boo.

This app has the right idea with being able to plan your meals for the week and have the recipies attached to them. Then have a grocery list created directly from your meal plans is great, if it worked. I couldnt get the list to update after I added a meal, plus you can only have a grocery list for one meal at a time which doesnt make sense to me. Who shops everyday for groceries? I love the concept but dont like the limitations so I wont use it.

You can only add six recipes before you have to upgrade to the premium version.

I love that you can organize ingredients based on measurements / amount needed. The App adjusts the shopping list according to servings using the measurements, which is great. Unfortunately, although the app is pretty to look at, its difficult to navigate. Its not user-intuitive and I cant tell "where I am" in the app on any given page. In addition, there is no coordinating website, so Id have to enter the entire recipe on my phones keyboard instead of syncing via a website.
