- We fixed a bug allowing the recipe key to scroll out of view in the shopping list.

Highlighted Reviews
I really love this app. I’ve been terrible about meal planning and this app is so easy to use. I just add my recipes from Pinterest or by hand, plan out as many weeks in advance as I want and it gives me my grocery list. It’s helping me try new recipes too. If we have a change of plans, it’s so easy to shift the meals to different days.
This website/app has saved us so much money, time, and clutter! We order what we need. We menu plan for a month at a time with friends who also use Plan to Eat and there are a lot fewer nights scrambling to get take out.
