Mobile App Updates

We’ve been squashing bugs and working on new features for the Plan to Eat desktop site and app!

This month we released app version 3.0.2.

  • You can now calculate the Nutrition Facts for your recipes! Scroll to the Nutrition Facts section of any recipe you own and tap the new “Calculate Nutrition Facts” button to update them. Please note that the provided Nutrition Facts are estimates.
  • You can now drag and drop events on the planner! Long press on an event to reschedule it to a different day or meal time.
  • We made several improvements to how drag and drop determines where an event was dropped after the sections on the page are minimized. Events should now appear to drop exactly where you dropped them.
  • We refreshed the app icon and loading screen to use our updated logo.

Desktop Updates

  • You can now calculate the Nutrition Facts for your recipes! Scroll to the Nutrition Facts section of any recipe you own and click the “Calculate Nutrition Facts” button.
  • We added support for flagging nutrition values for review.
  • We increased the global font size for the desktop website from 13.5px to 14px.
  • We darkened the day section headings when printing your meal plan.

We will continue to notify you of any updates and new features on our blog and via email. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can always contact our support team.

“I’ve been using this app for three or four years now. I’m SO pleased that they added the drag and drop rescheduling functionality on mobile. It’s saved me a ton of time and it helps me reduce food waste. I started using it before I made a career change—I’m a grad student now, and it’s more helpful than ever. I have zero free time, and my budget is tight. “
