Cooklist: Pantry Meals Recipes for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great but…I’m really enjoying this app however there are some things I feel could be improved. If I make a recipe it opens my pantry so I can cross off items I used as needed, first off it doesn’t pull the ingredients I actually used and there is no search so I have to go to my pantry to update certain items, second I think it would be great if when I say “I Made This” it just automatically updated my pantry for me. I also would love to see a feature where you can filter out ingredients, for instance I’m allergic to red meat but I’m not on a specific diet so using the meal planner is great but I still have to weed through it all to find recipes that don’t include my allergens, having a filter with common proteins or vegetables that you could filter would be perfect for this..Version: 1.67.0
✓ So far, so good!I give it 4 stars because it’s a great app! It just has some things I think that would benefit with an update. 1. Expired stuff, we have a revolving door of ingredients in the kitchen like milk and butter that doesn’t require a notification about expirations because there’s always a fresh stock of it. I wish we could turn off the expired tags. 2. I want to import recipes but it can get lengthy and a little cumbersome. I wish it was a faster process, and I think it will be with some help from AI as the tech gets smarter. 3. Recipes already in the app could be more seasonal/rotate. Every time I go to the recipe section it’s kind of all the same looking. A little bit of fresh updates, changes in seasonality based recipes would be great!.Version: 1.91.1
✓ All Encompassing- This. Fixes. Everything.I'm a picky eater. I forget all the time about what's in my pantry/fridge/freezer and throw away rotten food all the time. One week my kids love grapes, so I buy more and then they don't eat them. What do I do with all these random-about-to-expire foods? And after giving up on worrying about it and just throwing food away, I spend 2 hours meal planning on pinterest. I lay it out on paper and online pick-up shop just to get home with 3 or 4 things I already have and didn't know it! It's exasperating! This. App. Fixes. EVERYTHING. For. FREE. No ads. It's easy and clean. No glitches so far. They even have a chatbot THAT'S NOT A ROBOT. Crazy right? Try it. You need it. Go already!.Version: 1.32.2
✓ Obsessed!I am obsessed with this app! I have a horrible time keeping track of what I have and when things are going to expire. With this I have been able to keep my food costs lower and expand my tastes. The different filters are incredibly convenient for whatever type of food you’re in the mood for. I love the fact that there is an option for when you freeze food and that it makes a grocery list for you to use and updates the pantry. The feature of having it also help you remember to take those items from the pantry is just amazing. I hear about this app from a budget planner who has helped me with so many things but this app is a gold mine. There are so many recipes to pick from and if you don’t have an ingredient it will try to come up with substitutions you can use. Planning meals and staying on budget has never been easier for me and my family. Thank you Cooklist for existing. The chat rooms that offer help are excellent as well. They’ve cleared up every issue I’ve had so far with ease. I LOVE this app..Version: 1.44.2
✓ Love this appLove that i dont have to pay for this app to be useful. I feel that it gives you the chance to love it on its own to want to pay for features that can be even more helpful but not necessary for this app to be useful. I struggle with having too many things in my pantry and fridge because i live with other people and my stuff gets shoved to the back and buy multiples for this reason.. but with this app i can keep track of everything AND can save money because it gives me recipes i can make with the stuff thats in my pantry already and gives the list of the ingridients i need for the recipe only so i can quickly add to cart of target or walmart or wherever i need to shop. Out of all other apps doing this, this one is the best!!!.Version: 1.97.2
✓ Amazing app for budgeting and meal planningI love this app so so so so so much. It does an amazing job with creating an inventory of my pantry, as well as estimating prices of my meals. You can also scan your receipts and look at how much you spent over time. There are a few issues I had: 1. The receipts will only be analyzed on the spend by category section if it is from a store listed on the app. I do most of my shopping at Trader Joe’s, so I cannot see how I am spending my money for a majority of my shopping. 2. When I make a meal plan, I can only place eat meal at one type of meal. For example, if I make a soup and I plan on eating it for dinner and lunch, there is no way to put it as both. I can only make it a dinner and not lunch (and vise versa). 3. I wish I could do all my work on my computer. It would be awesome to have a website version! It would be so much faster. My solution was using my ipad instead, but a computer would be so much faster. Over all, I love this app and I think it is going so far!.Version: 1.71.0
✓ A lot of potential, but a lot of glitchesThis app has the potential to be really great, but there are a lot of glitches that are really frustrating. When adding items to my pantry, either manually or by scanning my receipt, it will seem fine at import, and then the next day is all weird and has several items in there twice or not at all. And when creating recipes, it often will act like it’s saved, but then it disappears and I’ll have to do it all over again. The premise of this app is superb, and a lot of things work well, but the glitches (in the free version at least) are really quite annoying. I would not pay for the premium version until it’s clear these glitches can be stopped..Version: 1.77.0
✓ New wife & mom saved my anxietyTrying to balance budget, while being a new wife and now a new mother! It’s hard in today’s world and we find ourselves constantly trying to find two pennies to rub together. This app has already saved us $400 and we only have been using it for a month. Not only that, but my anxiety has been lessened when comes to cooking and budgeting. My husband loves trying the new recipes too. I used to menu, lists and calendar all with pen and paper, now just a few clicks and everything is saved for me. No more forgetting to buy something at the grocery store, no more over purchasing, no more stress. Grateful.Version: 1.91.1
✓ Finally an awesome grocery, home inventory, meal planning solutionI have used a meal planning app for the past year but it was not at all like Cooklist! Cooklist is there for the complete cycle of groceries, cooking, planning, shopping and includes nutritional information, tracking expiration dates and comparison shopping. It’s so easy to use and I love how it automatically loads in grocery orders to the pantry. Recipes are not “exclusive” to the app so you aren’t limited to a small set of options for the week. We have saved money by using what we have on hand and using the comparison shopping feature. We’ve wasted less food, money and time. For a little over $1 per week, it has had a huge impact on our grocery budget and healthy meal planning..Version: 1.36.1
✓ Use this on your old i devices!This app is great for all of the reasons listed by everyone else, but my favorite is definitely the pantry-related features, and that this works on older versions of IOS. I have a 10 year old iPad command-stripped to the kitchen wall that I use for HomeKit, music, recipies, etc. Now it can also be where I can see what I have, what I should eat/cook, and can let others in the house see everything too! I’m hoping to get my old iPhone set up as my always plugged in trash-can scanner. One request is that the scanner have a button to swap cameras, since my iPad use case only works on the front camera..Version: 1.67.0
✓ All the features I’m looking for!This app is second best to Supercook in terms of available features. They offer recipes that are actually based on what I have in my pantry and provide an ok variety. I’m looking forward to what they add in the future. If I could give a couple suggestions- -All of the food suggested to add to my pantry seems to be Great Value products. I have no idea why. I don’t buy Great Value products and it forces me to search for what I’m actually looking for. It makes the app feel like there’s excessive and needless branding and makes it more difficult to find what I actually want - there are a lot of steps to add food to my pantry that aren’t in the premade lists. I don’t know why but it felt very tedious to add something as simple as frozen artichoke hearts. I couldn’t find frozen ones, and then I could find ones that were generic so I, yet again, had to choose Great Value..Version: 1.56.2
✓ Cooklist has seriously impressed me!I'm currently using the unpaid version. The first thing you do is link your grocery stores. Then, scan the barcode of each food item or snap a pic of your receipt to add them to your Pantry. After a grocery trip, new items get added automatically because my store is linked. When I'm ready to cook, I hit the Cook page, toggle 'Cook Now' to see recipes with ingredients I already have. There are some awesome filters on the Cook page, but they're not in the free version. After cooking, it prompts me to review/update used ingredients, and removing items from my pantry when finished is a satisfying touch. The option to add used items to the shopping list seems handy, although I haven't tried it yet. I haven't explored the meal planner either, but it's on my list! Having all my food inventory on my phone is so convenient. Plus, the app shows past purchases and grocery spending data over time, by category & store. It's amazing! It’s helped me save money, made cooking easier and keeps me more organized..Version: 1.96.0
✓ Impressed by the featuresI have been using Paprika for many years but I am glad that I discovered this app. I like the features that gives me nice nutritional information in a quick visually appealing way, and has a nice breakdown of macronutrients. The app lets you import your own recipes and integrates with a grocery list that actually comparison shops! I am having a bit of a challenge dealing with the inventory management but that is mostly because I live in a household with kids that make things disappear quickly. I am still getting that part of the system down but I find the app nice to use. I am not sure that this will replace my current shopping list, though..Version: 1.68.1
✓ Best $50 I have ever spent!I always have pantry, fridge and freezer with food to cook but never know what to make. I’m a mom of two and wife of a 3rd child plus I work full time and nobody can ever come up with a dinner idea besides steak and green beans or spaghetti. The pro version allows me to input everything in my kitchen with expiration date for those ingredients I usually end up throwing away. Instead of going to the store everyday cooking the same stuff I just choose cook now and it gives me recipes to make with what I already have. No joke this app has already saved me $100 and I have only had it a week 1/2!!!.Version: 1.78.1
✓ Everything I’ve been wantingThis app is literally everything I’ve been wanting. I was dreaming of an app the would all me to plan meals, keep inventory of my pantry, and curate a shopping list and this app does that plus more. The best part is, it’s all automated! The app is smart enough to add missing ingredients from your meal plan to your shopping list and remove them from the pantry after you cook with them. This app is literally the best thing for someone who wants to meal plan/prep, and limit grocery store trips, but needs to see everything laid out visually. Cannot stress it enough that this app is the bomb dot com. Do download!!!!.Version: 1.37.3
✓ Best shopping list appI live way out on a ranch far away from grocery stores and keeping a strict shopping list is very important so I don’t have to make multiple trips to the grocery store. This shopping list can do so many things I never even imagined. I can add a recipe and it will add the ingredients to my list, and it also auto-calculates the weight in oz so i know exactly how much I need to buy (like 1/2 cup shredded cheese = 4oz) because things are sold in oz at the store. It even matches the items on my list to real products at my grocery store so I can preview what’s available and how much it’s going to cost. And to top it off, I can actually send an order for delivery straight to the store right from the shopping list on Cooklist. It’s actually incredible..Version: 1.14.0
✓ Simple Simple SimpleSo far I have used the pantry feature and used it to try the “cook now” feature. Entering items is so simple and it has a surprising archive already built in. I used the reader to capture each item and then +- to update amounts. The cook now feature can be filtered for diet, prep time etc. it’s been really thoughtfully designed! After selecting the recipe, which I had and it was delicious! The next time I opened the app, it asked if I used the recipe and then allowed me to update the pantry list accordingly. I love to cook and have an extensive pantry. . . Seriously a lot for daily and emergency provisions and it was entered in just a couple hours. . . Learning curve slowed me at times, but it’s great! I could after shopping just clicking and entering would take just a few minutes. It also prevents you from duplication and alerts if you already entered something. So, if you have things in different locations, just move through and you can update as you get to duplicate items. Loving this app so far!.Version: 1.49.2
✓ Easy app!I really like this app. There are so many features to help home cooks find/add recipes, plan meals and shopping lists. It’s worth the money. However, unlike other apps, the recipe directions are hard to read when you’re cooking. The recipe instructions’ font should be VERY LARGE and you should only be able to see one step on the screen. Then, once you’ve completed a step on the recipe, flash your hand in front of the screen to move to the next step. It’s gross to touch your phone while cooking a recipe. Cooklist makes me touch my phone to see the next recipe step but others apps are touch free. If Cooklist had touch-free directions steps for recipes, I’d give it five stars..Version: 1.87.0
✓ So Worth It!!!I absolutely LOVE this app. my husband & i never know what to make for dinner & this app makes my life SO much easier & less stressful to say the least. It only costs a little less than $50 for the ENTIRE YEAR and there’s a 7 day trial when you start!! we used to use Hello Fresh & we hated it but absolutely love this app over anything. i can’t believe how awesome this is! Cooklist allows you to: •build a pantry list •give/take the amount of how much of an ingredient you actually have •tells you how many ingredients you have/don’t have for a recipe •gives substitution ingredients for anything missing •make a grocery list for anything you run out of •add your grocery stores •meal plan for the week •reminds you when to meal plan if you choose •add food allergies/diets to make recipes fit for you and your family (vegetarian, vegan, paleo, keto) •shows how long it’ll take to cook & prep •SUPER easy step by step directions for the recipe.Version: 1.61.0
✓ A bit tedious but worth itHonestly I have always been terrible about blindly grocery shopping and feeling awful when I ended up throwing so much of it away because I never really put the time and effort into meal planning. This app takes some time and devotion in order to work the way it’s intended, but if you keep up with it and add in everything you buy, update expiration dates or if you freeze stuff etc, it is really helpful in reducing food waste! And I’ve found some new favorite recipes that are pretty easy. I love that when filtered to only show recipes using what I have on hand it will still show recipes that I have alternate substitutions for, because it makes your options so much wider while teaching you how you can easily manipulate recipes to your liking. I paid for the full year and I’m glad I did because I know I’ll be using this a lot..Version: 1.98.1
✓ Game Changer!This will seriously help me stay organized in the fridge and pantry, save money by making sure I’m buying things we actually need, and stay organized with a meal plan. There is a $50 yearly subscription, just a 7-day free trial. To me, it’s worth it! This app does so much work for users. Make your own customized meal plans, recipe collections, barcode scan items from your pantry and fridge to track what you have AND how much of each item as well as expiration dates. They thought of literally everything. I love this more than I thought I would! My main concern was, if things are complicated I won’t stick to it. But this is so effortless. It took maybe an hour to go thru everything we have - and that’s only because I found so much that needed to be thrown away and reorganized everything!!!!! I use instacart and after connecting to my account the app loaded all my new groceries into my inventory 😍 LOVE THIS. Thank you!!!.Version: 1.95.0
✓ Great grocery shopping experienceCooklist has helped me to organize my grocery list based on my meal plan. It lets me track pantry items and will even load pantry items ordered online from other stores I shop at. The tool has a searchable recipe base of healthy meal suggestions to add to my weekly meal plan. it can filter recipes based on the main ingredients in my pantry, and identify missing pantry items to add to my grocery list. Cooklist saves time by finding available local store items based on my entered grocery list. I can compare prices and selections across available stores in my area, and then search the individual stores to make any necessary selection changes based on item availability. On checkout, it has been easy to find an available delivery or pickup window within a reasonable timeframe. The Cooklist support team has been very helpful throughout the ordering and delivery process from confirming both receipt of my order and when it has been placed with the store, allowing me to add additional items to my order prior to delivery, notifying me of expected delivery time on the day of delivery and following up with me to check on my satisfaction with the overall delivery experience. Overall, I’ve had a great experience using both the tool and the service to order for grocery planning, ordering and delivery and plan to use it for future orders..Version: 1.35.0
✓ What I’ve been looking for!I can’t believe I found it! Pantry inventory, Walmart shopping import, meal planning, nutritional info, recipe imports, and more!!! I am so elated with this app. Just a few suggestions from a family-of-5 mom: Apple Health sync, portion selection for individual days in the meal plan (if I cook spaghetti and have one portion that same night, and 2 portions the next day, I want to differentiate), adding family members let’s them share the pantry, but they create their own meal plan which can be toggled to show up on your account meal plan (so you know where the food has gone!), scan to remove items option, scanning the same item twice gives the option to add to what you already have instead of just “you already scanned this”, meal plan iOS calendar sync. A HUGE hug to the developers! I hope my mom-perspective suggestions are helpful! - Robyn.Version: 1.50.1
✓ I love this app!As someone who used to spend HOURS meal planning, struggling to come up with new meals while still budgeting correctly, this app is a life-saver! I love that I have a source that keeps my personal recipes with new ones to try. I also love not forgetting to buy something at the store that I didn’t realize I needed thanks to having the pantry tab. I literally tell everyone that will listen about this amazing app! The only thing I would like to see added is the ability to type a recipe from scratch. I sometimes come up with stuff on the fly and instead of just being able to add it in to add it to my shopping list, I first have to write it out or type it so I can import a picture. Kind of inconvenient..Version: 1.87.0
✓ Life changing!As a child no one talks about this 1 crucial fact about becoming an adult, you’re going to have to plan dinner for yourself nearly every night for the rest of your life, and as a mom and a wife I STRUGGLE making this decision every night for my whole family. This app makes it so easy to find new recipes that I can make simply out of items I already have in my home, by easily connecting the app to my Walmart app. I can also discover brand new recipes and put all ingredients necessary for the recipe directly in my Walmart shopping cart in a simple click of a button! Making online shopping quick and easy! I’ve used this app every day now for a few weeks and I’m LOVING it ❤️and my family is also enjoying all the new dishes!.Version: 1.50.1
✓ AwesomeThis app has been so helpful. I tend to go to the store and buy more groceries when I don’t realize that I can make something with what I already have. It’s saved me money on groceries in that way, and it lets me know when my food is going bad so that I don’t have to constantly keep checking dates. It also syncs with my grocery stores so I don’t need to manually enter my new food every single time I go shopping (which takes forever when you do it that way). Something to note: for items that have a longer shelf life, you do have to manually enter those expiration dates. It doesn’t take long though, so it’s not a huge deal. Overall, I highly recommend this app!.Version: 1.74.1
✓ Changed the way I think about my cookingWe’ve tried shipped meal prep services and all sort of cooking apps, but this app just makes sense for our family. We have a bunch of food but often don’t know what to do with it or forget we have it. The receipt scanning feature is a game changer. Every recipe suggestion has been a repeater and we never would’ve thought to include some of the more “odd” replacement ingredient suggestions. It’s amazing how so many meals can be made with a couple staple ingredients and some fruits and veggies. It’s helped us step out of our meal funk. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends..Version: 1.77.1
✓ Not ready yetI down loaded the free part not wanting to spend $50 till I knew if it would work. I was having to constantly reconnect with Kroger, could not connect with Publix and when I tried to enter a product from an independent grocer, was directed to pay in order to manually enter a product. Sorry, not enough positive going on here to go further. Excellent concept. Keep working on it. Update: I went ahead and download the pay side. I still don’t have Publix as an option. Still, this a very impressive app and I keep finding new things that I like. It will have five stars when they bring Publix back..Version: 1.98.0
✓ Pantry at your fingertipsThis app’s concept is genius. Its an efficient approach to food planning that saves time, money, and food waste. Super useful to reference while at the store. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered whether I have [ingredient], purchased it, and come home to find that I already have the item. Also, I really like the feature where their recipes give you options to swap niche items out that you may not have in your existing spice cabinet (and may not intend to purchase) for more generic substitutes. It’s a modern approach to cooking; solves real life busy people problems..Version: 1.56.2
✓ Life changingThis app will save me so much money because I didn't realize that I can cook hundreds of delicious recipes with the food I already have. It adds lots of delicious variety to my life and saves me a fortune in groceries because I can use what I have. Also tells you when foods are expiring which helps you use it before you lose it. And organizes pantry items by category so each week when you update your inventory you can more easily find your stuff. Few minor tips: 1. It'd be amazing if we can have a clean dish category as a pantry item so it only shows recipes where you have the tools cleaned and available to use. Examples is I don't have a clean airfryer right now so i would love to have all those removed from the list. 2. Also I wish I could copy/paste recipe details instead of manually adding one by one. 3. Need manually added recipes to be private to just me (or at least have that option) But again this is an AMAZING app and the people who built it have an excellent eye for detail and how to make super user experience..Version: 1.59.0
✓ Takes some time to learn but really worth the effort!I can tell there are still some technical kinks to be worked out to make it more user friendly, but if you put in the time upfront to input your pantry/fridge/freezer/household goods and be sure to update your inventory regularly, it will REALLY help you make use of what you have and not blow your budget. I used to spend so much on food because I would go pick up new ingredients for a recipe I wanted to make and I would find that either I already had some of the ingredients and I simply forgot, or I could’ve used substitutes or just made something from what I had at home. This app will help you realize how many meals you actually have hidden in your home! It offers substitutes, expiration date reminders and even gives the option to cook with only what you have or to add some missing ingredients to your shopping list so you can meal plan effectively..Version: 1.49.2
✓ Love it, when it worksThis app is everything I’ve been looking for in a meal planning app. You can make grocery lists, inventory your pantry, add recipes from multiple online sources and manually and the best part is that all of those functions are in sync. You add a meal and you’re missing ingredients, those ingredients automatically get added to your grocery list. I really only have one problem, when the app glitches out and I can’t use some of the functions so I have to delete the app and reinstall it. So far, I’ve had an issue where my grocery would not load no matter what I did and lately I have been having an issue where the app won’t let me change the starting dates for my weekly meal plans. Just deleted and reinstalled so hopefully that fixes it, but I really wish the bugs would be resolved because outside those issues it is a fantastic tool..Version: 1.40.0
✓ I waited for an app like this for years!I should have invented this app if I had the coding skills because I’d wanted exactly this for years. It made my life so much easier. My favorite feature was being able to connect it to my local grocery store member account so that it automatically updated my pantry with my purchases. I don’t often write app reviews but I decided I should write this one because I ended up canceling my subscription only because I started dating a chef and then we moved in together, which made it pointless. Otherwise I’d still be using it!.Version: 1.88.0
✓ Amazing appI don’t usually write reviews but I think this app is incredibly useful. Very easy to use and learn. You can find recipes and import them from websites, it lays the recipe out in a simple, easy to follow way. You can plan your meals for the week and connect your account to the grocery stores you use so you can easily add ingredients you need. Not only that but it’s so helpful to keep track of what you have in your pantry and it will find recipes using the ingredients you already have. I honestly cannot find a fault with this app, I’ve tried many different ones but this is the best for me in terms of all the different features it gives you..Version: 1.77.1
✓ Amazing Free AppAs a new mom and wife, managing the home is the most important yet difficult thing on the planet. i have tried multiple apps but they never mount to this one. It’s as if this app was designed specifically for me. it has great recipes categorized by type or by effort, it shows me in the recipe what items i already have and what substitutions i can use, which saves me money $$. my favorite part is the fact that in the shopping cart, it tells me what i’m going to spend at the grocery store! this is huge! because, I know how much to budget for. never before could groceries really be exactly budgeted in my household, until now! still learning all the new things but love this app!!! moms definitely worth checking into!.Version: 1.25.0
✓ Exciting App with Multiple FunctionsI needed a way to keep track of expiration dates for foods. Pleased that the app gathers data from recent grocery trips, and as an added bonus suggests recipes showing the ingredients we have on hand. The app is intuitive and easy to get started with. The only areas of improvement I may suggest would be to 1) add a gluten free filter for recipes, and 2) not all stores imported my recent purchases as shown in the email confirmation I received. But happily it didn’t take long to scan the items the app didn’t import because of the large food database. It seems to me after reading the reviews, that the developers are continually finding new ways to improve upon an already great app. This builds confidence, and I plan to remain a loyal subscriber..Version: 1.40.0
