Real Plans - Meal Planner for Positive User Reviews
✓ Serving size for nutritional info?This is a great app, has really helped me stay on track and is fun to use. My only gripe is that when you go to nutritional information, I don’t think there is a serving size listed. Neither is the serving size mentioned in the recipe. (For example, in the Bacon and Beef patties, it does not say “Form into 4 patties.” It just says “form into patties.”) This makes a difference to those of us trying to count calories. A recipe will say it’s “320 calories” but for what? 4 ounces? 1/4 of the recipe? You have no idea. If this were fixed it would be a 5 star app for sure..Version: 8.37
✓ Great app; amazing customer supportThis is my second time using Real Plans. I found the Low FODMAP plan a couple years ago when I was having health issues and the app was a lifesaver- it saved me from having to spend hours researching recipes and ingredients. I had a week’s worth of meals in a few moments. I actually saw my symptoms improve by following the meal plan! Unfortunately I started having health issues again so I turned to the app for support. I created the meal plan and used the grocery list to do all my shopping. So easy! But the next day (a Sunday) I discovered all the recipes I had planned for had disappeared! I realized a new week had populated and I could not find the week I had planned for. Upset, I emailed customer service and complained, not expecting a reply til the next day at the earliest. I was so surprised that within an hour of my email I had a call back from a real person! Antony understood my frustration and patiently walked me through finding the week of meals I had planned for. I am definitely glad I renewed my subscription and am truly grateful for the support!.Version: 11.15
✓ Great tool!Just started using this app and loving it! It is helping tremendously with meal planning for Whole30. My last Whole30 was overwhelming trying to hunt for recipes to meal plan week by week, on top of food prep. Which might be why it’s been a few years (or more) since my last one! 😆 This app does the meal planning for me. It includes the shopping list of items you need for that week and you can even search recipes for food you have on hand. This purchase has been worth it and proving to be an invaluable tool!.Version: 11.12
✓ Definitely Give This App A Try!This app has been so helpful! I totally rely on it now. I’m a pescatarian and my family eats meat so it’s just nice to have such an organized tool for creating fun recipes that suit everyone. I also love the shopping list feature because it saves me a lot of time and basically guarantees I don’t forget anything at the store. The other cool thing about it is you can either use it like a simple meal planning app or you can really dig in and use some more of the complex features it offers. Anyways, I totally recommend it! It has become a staple for our family..Version: 10.3
✓ Life Saver for those with allergiesGetting instantly updated meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists that fit our crazy assortment of allergies and preferences has changed our lives! We went from eating out 3 or 4 times a week to rarely doing so, and love the food so much more. You can also access your account online, I actually prefer looking everything over and taking advantage of all the options there, then using the app to shop and access my recipes in the kitchen. But you can do it all on the app as well. Customer service is super responsive!.Version: 8.7
✓ Game changer!This update is amazing. Honestly, the biggest weakness of the program was the app and WOW the update is both fast & beautiful. Love this!! Now you can see the plan, timeline and shopping lists in the app and the checklist feature is working so much more quickly. Makes grocery shopping a breeze!.Version: 4.0
✓ Mind BlowingIt’s what I’ve been looking for, but didn’t know it. I’ve been toying with the idea of those boxes that include the food, but didn’t like the idea of not choosing my own produce. Plus the prices didn’t seem reasonable. This app has just taken the thinking out of it for me. It plans my week, based on my dietary interests, it sends my shopping list to me (which I can edit), and it reminds me to begin cooking. The only suggested upgrades I would add would be to make the link with your calendar a bit more savvy - so that it takes into account cooking time and things that need to be soaked the night before. So, for example, if I have it set that I want to eat at 6pm, I would notify me when to start cooking for the recipe I have chosen (they include cook times). Likewise, they would notify me the night before if the mornings recipe needs the beans soaked prior. Otherwise, awesome. And they have on call support (so says an email I received, but I have not yet tried it). The recipes so far have all been good to outstanding. And, more important, toddler approved (although I do occasionally have to cut back on the garlic and hot peppers)..Version: 7.4
✓ Life Changing App, Super Responsive SupportI bought this app five years ago when I needed help planning and following a restricted diet. It was a game changer then...meal planning and shopping got monumentally easier. I no longer need the restricted diet...no problem for the app. Change my preference settings to include previously restricted foods, bam! New plan. Fast forward five years to a pandemic. I’d have to manually type my grocery list into a store app to place a pickup order. I asked for a grocery store integration. One existed, but the integrated service wouldn’t deliver to me. Waited a month or so, and Bam! Another grocery delivery integration that DOES deliver to me! The developers of this app listen to their clients. Customer support is amazing. Chat is always available to answer questions. Yes, it’s a subscription service. But the money I have saved by eliminating food waste (don’t buy what I don’t need), and the time I save trying to figure out what’s for dinner has been life changing. Have a favorite recipe that’s not in the planner? No problem! You can either type it in manually or imported it seamlessly from the internet. I don’t typically write reviews or make recommendations, but I tell everyone I know about this app, I love it that much..Version: 8.23
✓ Life made easySo many wonderful recipes. I love to cook but have gotten bored with the same old same old. I don't have to search Pinterest to figure out what to make for supper anymore. Plus, the detailed shopping list, so great..Version: 5.2
✓ Easy and comprehensiveReal plans is by far the best collection of menus that generates shopping lists automatically. You can filter by type of diet (I use the Whole30 one), and services really good and creative, recipes along with preparation time step-by-step instructions. I have been using it for three years now and can’t imagine creating my weekly menus without it!.Version: 11.15
✓ Makes my days easierLove this app, I can create a custom meal plan in 10-15 mins for my specific dietary needs: gluten free dairy free, and allergies. I only gave 4 stars as there is no IPad version for this, and cooking from my phone is annoying but I usually print and that’s a lot of paper!.Version: 7.12
✓ Easy to use and takes feedback!I discovered Real Plans a few months ago, and it is exactly what I was looking for - new recipes, easy to plan with leftovers, macro consideration, and a shopping list all in one! Plus they are integrated with some of my favorite recipe creators, and it’s easy to import your own. I provided feedback asking if we could have access to planning a few more weeks out - we order our meat monthly from our local farm, so this would help immensely. They took that to their dev team and made the update! Thank you for making mealtime much easier! Love all of the customization tools as well to fit any diet, schedule, and cooking level..Version: 11.15
✓ Real plans is a 5 but Whole 30 option a 2I bought Realplans instead of using a free meal planning app because of the option to have planning for my dry January Whole 30. Once my learning curve flattened out I really enjoy using Realplans. The app is great for the shopping list, I like the variety of meal options. It has made my food life easier. However, paying an extra $30 for a Whole 30 isn’t worth it at all. You get access to 328 Whole 30 recipes, but the majority of the planned meals weren’t from Whole 30. I own 4 of their books and many of those recipes aren’t on the website. She uses lemon garlic dressing in a lot of her meals and searching for lemon garlic dressing in the recipe box, nothing comes up. I had a lot of repeat side dishes, like sweet potato mash, nothing using leftovers in a repeat meal. I ended up choosing my own Whole 30 meals which I didn’t need to pay extra for. Also my 10 day reintroduction plan didn’t work at all. I chatted with support who told me to add my own recipes. Well, yea, but that’s not what I paid $30 for. 4 days later, I’m still waiting to hear from them. So, Realplans? Yes Whole 30 option? NO. You can plan it on your own..Version: 7.5
✓ Stress reliever! Connects to Instacart!What a time saver. After my meal plan is created, I’m able to import the ingredients to my instacart!! Also I love how Real plans can record an inventory of what is in your fridge, pantry, and suggest recipes based on that. And suggests ingredients to get to unlock more recipes! Plus, I can just type in a food I detest (jalapeños) and a whole bunch of items come up that I can easily select all and add to “never include a recipe with this” (or something to that effect.) And I like that I can plan in leftovers! The recipes so far have been delicious. I will update my preference to be faster recipes with fewer ingredients. Cool option. Very user friendly site. So worth $14 a month to not have to wonder at dinner time what I’m going to cook. And the kids love the food!!!.Version: 8.23
✓ FantasticNavigation is fairly user friendly once you get used to it. The app is smooth, always loads, Never crashes. Sleek design. More importantly, the content is amazing. Never a cook, my recurring attempts never proved very satisfactory. But I have yet to make something that I have not loved. I chose the easy (beginner) option in my profile. I still end up cooking fun and delicious meals. I now look forward to finding out what the weekly meal plan is going to be. I am never anxious in the kitchen any longer. Somehow they have made it impossible to be a poor cook. The benefits of the new nutrition kicked in within a week. Much more physical energy and mental clarity, weight loss without any calories counting or restrictions. Life changing..Version: 7.9
✓ I love this app!I’m 62 and tried of trying to decide what to cook for the week. I’ve had no problems with this app. I use the chat function if I have a question. They are always helpful. There is a Facebook group for those of us who like to share. This app has gotten me out of my culinary rut. I love that I can go in and out of food plans, add my favorite food blogger recipes, and switch out what doesn’t suit my family’s tastes. I can purchase more recipes from well known food personalities for less that the price of another cookbook. My daughter is a vegetarian and my husband and I eat a Paleo/Primal Diet. I can keep the whole family fed and happy. The shopping list helps keep me from impulse buying, so there is a lot less food wasted in the refrigerator. I couldn’t be happier..Version: 7.4
✓ Sync to server?The app recently started asking me if I wanted to sync the app with the server (or disregard) and then deletes any changes I've made to Shopping List. Please fix.Version: 7.0
✓ User friendlyEasy to use, great recipes.Version: 9.5
✓ If apps were food, this one would be yummy.Beautiful setup. It’s nice to look at, user friendly, easy to navigate and makes doing Whole30 SOOOO much easier. Especially as a busy mom of two under two who is desperate to be healthy but can’t quite muster the brain power to find recipes, meal plan and meal prep. It does an incredible amount of the work for me, removing 90 percent of the stress involved with the age old “what’s for dinner?” question. It’s brilliant and impressive in myriad ways. My one complaint is that it stopped loading my grocery list mid-shopping trip today (first time out the gate). This sucked, but I would hate to fault the app if in reality it had to do with my internet connection :/.Version: 8.6
✓ Loving thisI’m doing the whole 30 minus nightshades and I can choose from easy to budget to more complicated meals. The shopping and pantry lists are awesome. Right now I’m cooking four days a week and using leftovers for the rest of the days. Although this next week, I’m cooking a little bit longer. Sometimes meal prep like this morning took two hours for breakfast for 5 days. It wasn’t difficult, there is just a lot of fresh herbs that I had to take off the stems. It takes a long time. I feel better and I’m losing weight. And it’s good to know that after I cook lunch with enough leftover for the rest of the week and then dinner with enough leftover for the rest of the week, my work week is gonna be so much easier. But yes, I do spend most of all day Sunday cleaning, cooking, cleaning cooking, cleaning, cooking … it is definitely not a lazy day. But I do get to rest in between. Yesterday at the farmers market was fun, but sometimes I’ll just go to Winco or Chuck’s to get some of the fruits and veggies. My blood sugar is down my resting heart rate is down. My walking Heart rate is down and my blood pressure is down. I know what I’m putting in my food..Version: 11.14
✓ Game changerReal plans is an amazing app! Great functionality and very responsive to requests for updates/new features. Best option for meal planning by far!!.Version: 5.3
✓ Worth every pennyThis app has been life changing for me and my husband. After personally struggling with weight and feeling terrible for years - I finally found answers when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease - Hashimotos. The first order from my endocrinologist was to change EVERYTHING I thought I knew about food and go Whole30, some Paleo, DF, and GF...FOR LIFE - as in a total lifestyle change. I went to Pinterest for recipes but was concerned that some of the ideas to pin weren't Whole30 approved. I was right. So I spent time on the Whole30 site and found Real Plans. I was unsure at first with a subscription charge..but I can assure you I'd be LOST without this app. From the roulette wheel of customizing dinner plans, adjusting servings to accommodate for left overs, and the grocery list - real plans is a necessary toolkit for making a truly healthy lifestyle change..Version: 7.1
✓ Where have you been all my lifeI’m suffering from multiple health issues which means eating healthy is not an option, but I have 4 kids 6, 5, 4, &2! Life is crazy so meal planning is tough especially with such a specific diet! This not only helps plan but is so detailed down to specifying particular foods to avoid on top of a regular diet! I’m so thankful!!.Version: 8.31
✓ A lifesaverThis app is amazing! It lets you pick exactly the foods you like and also any dietary restrictions you have and formulates a great meal plan. Want to import a recipe from another site? You can do that too! And select days and meal times you would plan for, leaving other nights for on the run meals. The recipes are great and lots to choose from. I don't get bored!.Version: 5.3
✓ Almost PerfectLove using RealPlans for meal planning. So handy to have it right on my phone so if I need to change something up while at the grocer it’s no big deal and I know exactly what to add or take away from the list. Only hiccup is that for some reason it doesn’t work as well when I want to shop for two weeks at a time. Even if I prepare the lists for each week separately (i.e. make of the things I already have, etc), when I combine the two lists into one before going into the grocery it often puts stuff back on the list that I already marked off, and won’t let me check off some things after I purchase. Kind of annoying, especially since I often shop for 2 weeks at a time. But otherwise, I love this app!.Version: 8.26
✓ Fantastic for food explorersI just started using this a few months ago and it is beginning to have a real impact on what we cook and eat. Some great recipes especially for the slow cooker. Now I need to start using the planning tool more effectively. Good stuff!.Version: 11.8
✓ Great healthy foodsWe originally bought this to help navigate whole 30. As busy parents with full time jobs, we have continued this app faithfully for over two years. The organization and good meals helps us to stay away from easy junk food and makes shopping SO MUCH EASIER! We would like more variety for side dishes that our teens also like, but overall this has been a game changer for our family!.Version: 9.1
✓ Best Plan I’ve Ever UsedThis is the most comprehensive and thorough plan I’ve ever tried. It offers meal plans for every diet preference from omnivores to vegan Keto. I love that counts your calories, gives nutritional information and writes your shopping list. I was worried that the shopping list would get too expensive, but it matched my usual cost, except it’s filled with real foods instead of processed. Love it!.Version: 8.2
✓ Best food planner ever!This app has all the flexibility and customization I’ve been looking for! You can adjust servings, change meal schedules on the fly, AND add your own recipes (plus they have tons of recipes included). It compiles your grocery list and gives you a timeline to prep meals. Customer service response time is quick to answer any questions. I finally have my meals under control so I’m not starving and overeat! Worth every penny!.Version: 7.9
✓ Easy PeasyLove this app. Makes meal planning easy and gives me a shopping list to keep me organized..Version: 11.15
✓ Awesome app!!! Developers listen too!The app has some good meals. The planning is relatively easy to use. The grocery list I like. The app is agonizingly slow to go from on screen to another. Cute pot with hearts popping up out of it while you wait, but has turned into annoying. And this isn’t because of wifi or cell service. This has occurred in many locations with many level of bars. I’m updating my stars from 3 to 5. The app’s improvements have remedied the issue of being slow. Works like a charm!!!.Version: 8.23
✓ App is not as versatile as the websiteI think most people go to Real Plans for Whole30 options. I definitely did. But I spent most of my time on the website. The website allows the pantry option and is all-round easier to use. The biggest wish I have is a better way to do the re-integration Slow Roll option. I wish there was an option to choose how long you wanted to do the re-integration and to choose the days for example, the website talk about starting with relaxing sugars in sauces, like re-adding ketchup instead of starting with legumes. Just more streamlined and sleek is what I am wishing for right now..Version: 8.33
✓ Most Efficient Way To Meal PlanWhat an awesome resource this has been for me! It has been an incredible time saber for me. The fact that you it only feeds you recipes with ingredients that meet the needs for all my dietary restrictions. There are still over a thousand recipes that feed into my weekly meals plans, even with all my restrictions. I don’t have to put any thought into it. It’s simple to change a recipe on your plan, and it’s also slick to upload your own recipes..Version: 8.5
✓ Excited for all the Low Fodmap recipes!I recently downloaded Real Plans and am SO excited for all of the Low Fodmap recipes available! I’m still navigating dealing with acid reflux and what foods are okay to eat, so having this meal plan and already made grocery list will make eating feel a lot less stressful again. I’m also so excited for all of the other types of meals available since my husband doesn’t necessarily need to eat a Low Fodmap diet..Version: 11.12
