EMeals - Healthy Meal Plans for Negative User Reviews

Keep charging my credit card.Only way you seem to be able to cancel your subscription is by personally calling this company or cancelling your credit card all together. There should be a cancel subscription option on your Apple subscriptions page. Also just got charged 54 dollars twice in only 3 months. Be careful !!!.Version: 3.9.3

Repeat CustomerAs a repeat customer (3 non-consecutive years - about every other year) eMeals serves its and my purpose of meal and grocery planning. In that time, I’ve had a good opportunity to try see and try a variety of meals and plans. I really enjoyed it the first year, less the second, and this will probably be my last. Why? Because the menus have become less and less tempting. I’m not a Foodie nor do I require something new EVERY DAY. I’d like to see recipes rated by eMeals (through customer input - maybe a click of a rating button on each recipe) so that recipes are more frequently reused. I’d also like to see more just plain, standard fare. And definitely less fish or a no fish option - 4 of 5 in my family doesn’t like it or is allergic to it - 2 meals a week on average cuts my use of the service down to 70%, not to mention the more and more frequent meals my family just won’t consider. I am now down to about two useable menus a week. And, of course, I was terribly disappointed when they removed holiday meals from the standard plan and offered them as an add-on. I applaud their attempt to be creative, but it’s backfired for me..Version: 3.9.1

Quick and Healthy?? BLT Hamburger is healthy?Quick maybe, but definitely not healthy. Extremely disappointed with recipes. Will be cancelling..Version: 4.6

Company practices are a no for meThis is a review of the service and company not the app. I used this a few years ago and will never again mainly because of the difficulty they gave me in canceling the subscription. I used it for a while and then stopped and they auto charged my account and wouldn’t refund despite me not using it. That’s mostly on me for not remembering, but when I went to cancel after that it is next to impossible. You can’t do it through the app, or the website, or through their online chat or through email. I had to call them during business office hours (you know, when I’m at work). I thought that was ridiculous and intentional so they can keep charging you. Any business that operates like that is one I will avoid. The actual recipes are ok. I found the ingredient lists to be too long with weird obscure ingredients. They also don’t try to repeat these weird ingredients across recipes so if you need a small amount of something you’ll end up wasting the the rest. I found because of the long ingredient list for every recipe my grocery bill actually went up so I stopped using it..Version: 4.5

A Few Tweaks Would Make This Great!I've been using emeals for about a year now. Overall it had been really helpful, but there are a few minor tweaks that could make it really great. First and foremost... Add nutritional info for every recipe!!!! I want to know what I'm eating and I hate that I have to use a separate app to calculate the nutritional info for the recipes. The nutritional info is included in some off the plans like the low calorie plan, but not most of the other plans. This should be standard!! Also, there is no way to filter out recipes that don't fit into my diet. I do not eat any red meat or pork, but I do eat poultry and fish, so I end up having to search through several different meal plans to find a week's worth of recipes that work for me. (Which sort of defeats the purpose of paying for a service that is supposed to plan your meals for you) Lastly, why do you need to subscribe to one meal plan instead of just being able to go to the library and see everything??? I know you can easily switch between plans, but why is this even a thing? Why can't you just see all the plans available on your dashboard and then pick and choose???.Version: 3.9.3

A few gulichesI found the same as the person above. Needs to be metric, Using Australian food shops would be great. It needs more flexibility to alter meal plans once you have locked a plan in as dietary needs can change.Version: 3.4.5

Only US unitsWe’re in the 21st century. Why can’t this app list ingredients in metric? Grams instead of ounces. Ml instead of cups! Come on… at the very least have an option to show both, or one or another..Version: 5.0.6

Helpful to plan meals but...$60 up front not monthly, recipes are not sectioned correctly but more like sporadically... I won’t say that it’s not worth the money but it’s not exactly worth 60 per year but maybe 30 simply because it’s constantly just repeating the same recipes over and over again the recipes are not organized whatsoever to the category that you chose... For some people they may not seem like a huge deal if you’re just looking for recipes to cook up and not caring what is that you’re looking in for, but I was in a diabetic area it was constantly hurting and potatoes sugar honey things they can’t have is being put into their recipes over and over again... The kid section does seem to be mostly like kid stuff like mac & cheese and sliders little kids types of food that usually don’t go wrong but they also have other plans that have recipes I do not belong in that category in there... this app really needs to be gone through and checked and re-organized I also do not understand why it only works as an app I have never gotten to work on the computer using their website you have to download the app or it doesn’t run right which is very frustrating..Version: 3.7.1

Great but need some adjustments for AustraliaI love the idea of this app. Meal planning and shopping lists which can be attached to online grocery shopping. However, the app needs to be adjusted for the Australian market: weights and measures in metric, connection to Woolworths, Coles, etc. and finally meals that are seasonally appropriate. Right now it is summer in Australia but it the meals (while they look yummy) are winter focused. One last thing is that I would like to be able to export my shopping list so that I can get my husband to pick up some things without typing the list out again. I will check back in the future as I would really love an app like this but at the moment it doesn’t work fully in Australia..Version: 3.4.3

Don’t do it. It’s a scam.Maybe that’s not fair, but to me this service is a scam. If you can google recipes and navigate grocery delivery/pick-up at your grocery store of choice, this is a worthless service. You’re paying for their ability to integrate their recipes into your grocery buying, and nothing more. They do have a large catalog of recipes filtered into many different meal planning categories, but once you pick your recipes, you then still have to manually go through your grocery list on their app, and then they connect it to your grocery store of choice. You then open up that company’s app to finish your grocery order in your preferred method. So I decided to cancel before my free trial was even finished. BUT WAIT, you can’t cancel your subscription on their app, or even their website. You have to call in to their billing department, which is only open 6 days a week, 8am-7pm. So, ya know, during the hours that you would realize what a scam this is, you’re not going to have any luck cancelling. Better set an alarm to remember to do it tomorrow before I’m charged. I haven’t written many reviews in my life, but wanted to save someone the same trouble I had..Version: 4.5

A work in progressThere are a lot of good things about this service. All the meals have been good. It has streamlined meal planning and I love the Instacart and Walmart pickup options. I will continue using emeals after my free trial ends and it’s one of the best subscriptions I’ve gotten since it saves me ~7 hours a week meal planning, searching out new recipes, shopping and cooking since all the meals I’ve done are 20-30 min. And they’re realistic times, not the people on chopped can do it that fast. But this is not a review of the service, it’s a review of the app. Which is missing quite a few necessary features. I want to make notes on the recipes, like if I am making a substitution based on what I have on hand. Or being able to rearrange my weekly plan based on what day of the week I want to make it. Or mark when I’ve made it so it goes to the bottom of the weekly list grayed out. I still have to have a paper solution for my meal plan to keep track of things before handing it off to my husband. Which is the exact opposite of what this app promises. The developers seem to be making updates regularly, so hopefully this will be addressed soon..Version: 4.4

DisappointedSome features do not work for Canadian users!!.Version: 3.6.1

BEWARE: Not easy to stop the trial period.On their webpage it’s laid out how to unsubscribe. I am trying to cancel... it is not that easy. I find I am not using this program. Make sure you are on top of your trial because you have to give a card number. Because you’ll be paying for it!! I will have to change credit cards!.Version: 3.8.2

Was alright but reoccurring charges without consent!Was alright but reoccurring charges without consent!!.Version: 3.9.2

Shady business tacticsI love the app and what it has to offer. Integrating the recipe lists into walmart pickup or delivery?!?! yeah that’s really rad, helpful, awesome. recipes are yum. menu selections are great. BUT this company will charge your bank account for subscriptions (i did yearly) without any account or email notice! you cannot unsubscribe from them via the app, you must email support. hate that bs. HATE. IT. SHADY BUSINESS TACTICS. YALL WHATS WRONG WITH THE WORLD GOT DANG SONNY. right now we are in a pandemic, my fam is down to 1 job, part time, and food and necessities are hard to come by but guess what, emeals gettin paid. emeals overdrew my bank account $100 without notice and now my fam is gonna sit in the negative for a week before payday can fix that. was hoping to find some toilet paper and a few things in town this week but now i can’t afford it. lol go freakin figure. i hate when apps do that. anything to get ur money, even take it without u knowing. it’s rude and downright shady. fix it or you will lose a lot of subs. GADNAHSUHAHAJAHSIABA IM SOOOO MAD!!!! this has caused so much stress for me. idk how i’m gonna explain this to my husband. icing on the freaking cake. thx emeals. paying for a meal app when there’s no food in the stores and no money in my account to buy anything anyways. ffs. i’ve contacted them for a refund..Version: 4.0.2

A Waste of Potential-will order things not neededIt seems like EMeals is a way to simply over purchase items and make Walmart more money. The whole point of using EMeals is I can pick recipes and the shopping is virtually done for me. Except that instead of ordering 4 leek stalks, which I would think 1 bunch would suffice, instead it order 4 bunches. So I just spent $15 on leeks! For one meal! The recipe for meatloaf burgers sent a big bag of almond flower to my cart, but there is no almond flower in the recipe, so there’s an additional $11 not needed! Same recipe called for 1/2 jar of pickles; app ordered 2 jars. Recipe says you need a little thyme leaves? App ordered 2 whole bottles. Need some fresh thyme too? App ordered 4 boxes of that. This is ridiculous. I guess it offsets that by buying one sweet potato when the recipe calls for 6, and buying 1 zucchini when recipe calls for 2. So now not only did I pay for a bunch of crap it appears I didn’t need, now I gotta go buy what was missed. What a waste of an awesome idea! This is literally the app to answer my prayers, but it doesn’t work..Version: 4.10.2

Misleading cancelation processI have used your app and subscription for a while, and find it mediocre at best. The recipes are bland sometimes and I have noticed if you choose specific diets, such as paleo, that sometimes the ingredients in the recipe are non-compliant with the diet itself. Besides that, I found the cancelation process frustrating. It is misleading to grey out the cancelation options as if you cannot press the buttons. Also your options for canceling are not reflective of the reason that I canceled. Why ask for data to improve when you only want to hear four reasons someone might cancel? I cancelled because the integration with Walmart isn’t great. I often get charged more than a week after placing an online order, and it is only like this when I do it through your app. It will charge initially, and then When an item is refunded it refunds the entire amount of the grocery order to my card. Then about a week later the entire amount comes out of my account unexpectedly..Version: 4.9.2

App is great; Program is getting worseI have been an eMeals subscriber for years. The App works very well and wouldn’t change much. The program was phenomenal back when it was simpler with a few meal programs. Now that it’s trying to meet the needs of everyone and every possible appetite, it misses the mark often. (1) Many of the recipes are designed with cross-over in mind. So - you’ll find the same recipe in 5 different plans. Problem is - it usually only hits one plan well and suffices for the others. (2) Kid friendly use to be exactly that. You knew it wouldn’t have mixed foods and complex seasonings. Yes, I have a kid that dines on anything, but my other one, I needed the boring kid-proof recipe. (3) Classic use to be true Classic (bring out the Campbell soup mix-ins). Now they try to make it healthy, too. And that doesn’t work for remembering the Classic tastes. (4) Slow cooker use to be all slow cooker recipes and included dinners, breakfast, and occasional other ideas. Now often the recipes are slow-cook once and 2nd recipe uses the first. Well, if you didn’t like the first, you’re out 2 recipes options. (5) They are trying to compete with meals in boxes, and are losing the core customers. What we used this for was to pick 2-3 recipes a week. Now - I’m hard pressed to find 2-3 recipes a week I want to cook, eat, or works for my family - and that’s using 2 plans and switching. I think I’ll give it another month. But then will probably quit..Version: 3.6.2

Horrible customer service and outdated nutritionDo NOT give this company your money. To force a phone call to cancel a free trial is ridiculous, especially when customer service support is available online. Yes- it's in the customer service agreement, so shame on me. But. Shame on them as it's simply their way of stealing money. Most of us don't have or take time to make phone calls in our busy lives. If your product is so fantastic, trust that it will stand the test of the free trial, and allow online cancellation like every other subscription service in the modern world. Also, the diabetic plan is so bad for diabetics-- it includes breads, pastas, potatoes, etc. Their response stated they are professional dieticians following ADA guidelines. ADA guidelines, we all know now, are ridiculously outdated and have led, in large part, to today's epidemic levels of diabetes, metabolic disorders, inflammation leading to heart disease, etc. Further, the low-carb menu only includes "net carbs"- which makes a possibly good plan option for diabetics no longer useable. Much improvement to this app needs to be made until I would consider it worthwhile and trustworthy. Don't waste your money..Version: 3.4.2

Red flag regarding subscriptionI started using the application with high hopes that I could get a grip on my meal planning routine. It didn't materialize. When you add meals to your plans, the app is not smart enough to accumulate the same products in your shopping list which appear with different names in different recipes. Also, you can't have a general plan for pre-preparing your weekly meals. If you live in Canada, you can't transfer your shopping list to any online services. It requires a US zip code. The biggest disappointment came to me when I realized to cancel my trial I need to call this number on their website. There is no way you can manage your subscription unless you call them. I called and I could cancel, but these methods for causing people into paying the services are a really big red flag to me that the service is not left and they don't respect their customers..Version: 4.4

Update pleaseThis app needs to hire a consultant that understands restricted diets—or just read my review! All the vegan recipes include non-vegan items like dairy. Why label them vegan then? I’m not vegan, but must eat dairy and egg-free so rely on vegan recipes—but this is very arduous to find meals I can eat when every “vegan” recipe I click on still has things like dairy. Call them vegetarian. Also plant-based is vegan—NOT vegetarian! Quit calling vegetarian recipes plant-based. Also, I cannot eat gluten, corn, or beef… but there’s no way to “filter” the recipes to leave out recipes with those ingredients. This could be so simple to add! You must add a filter-feature so that I don’t have to scroll through tons of recipes I can’t eat—and don’t know which is which until I click on them and read the ingredients. Also, it should be easier to substitute an ingredient in the grocery list. If I add a vegetarian recipe to my shopping list, I should be able to click on the cheese, for example, and choose a plant-based cheese to replace it. So many easy fixes, if they would just consult people who have dietary restrictions or hire a consultant who understands these basic things! I’m canceling my trial..Version: 5.0.4

UselessFurther to my last review, I now find I have paid for a subscription that creates a shopping lists that do not deliver in the country in which I reside..Version: 5.0.2

App vs websiteI’m conflicted on this service because of the inability for the app and website to do the same things. For example I can limit my list to the recipes I like on the app and it will produce an edited shopping list. I can’t send that list to a printer though. I often go shopping with the kids and hate to have my face in the phone when I’m with them. It’s also easier to shop when I can see the whole list so I’m not scrolling up and down. On the website I can print, but I don’t have the option to edit my list and I also can see/add past favorites like I can in the app. I’m also not sure why Kroger is supported for adding the list to and online cart, but Fred Meyers, a subsidiary isn’t. Which is what is available on our market. Most of the actual recipes are decent, but often lack any depth or complexity. We often doctor it up with additional spices. If they ever tell you to throw meat into a crockpot ALWAYS brown it first. It makes the biggest difference. Anyways it’s nice to at least have a list of ingredients and then I can work with what I’ve got rather than sit down, plan specific meals and then shop. I’ll keep using but definitely some room for improvement..Version: 3.5.1
