PlateJoy

Can't even use the first page to login on my older phone.

I used to love it. After the recent update the menu has completely changed. No more low carb diet. Disgusting recipes. Filters don't work. I excluded ginger from the menu as my son has allergy but I still keep receiving recipes with ginger. Very limited menu choices, and lots of carbs. Unfortunately I have to cancel my subscription because the app doesn't work for me anymore.

Pros: Variety of dishes & can add your own recipes. Shows ingredients needed per step. Fair number of customize options but could have even more. It's SO helpful to have a menu planned for me & a shopping list. Less food waste, I buy fewer extras, and the calorie goal is great for my weight loss journey. Shopping list shows which recipe it's for. Cons: Serving calories are lower than reality, so must adjust settings. PLEASE increase menu plan option to 7 days so shop day can be the same weekly.

-can't delete recipes I added -no way to import recipes from other sources -meal planning doesn't seem to care that I check <20 min meals -swapping/choosing recipes is very clunky. Would prefer a grid view or something. Also can't swap a "dinner" meal for a "batch" meal (or any other types)- you have to start the process from scratch -I used to be able to add a meal to a weekly menu but now I can't? Tailoring your menu is obnoxious and other meal planning apps just run circles around this

App is okay, but the food is so bougie. It makes it really obnoxious to find all these niche ingredients. Unnecessarily complicated methods. Cart integration is not smooth and you end up editing that a lot as well. Lost a star for each of those.

This app was SO close to perfect but the latest update has absolutely butchered it. Practically unusable. Go back to the UX pictured on Google Play because everything about the new layout and design as awful. I'm definitely not renewing my subscription in the apps current form. And for all the "updates", still no metric!

I would really like if the app included a widget to remind you of the next meal instead of having to open the app multiple times a day

This used to be such an amazing up but seems to be getting worse under new management. So many things lost and nothing but the equivalent of jangling keys in front of a toddler for new things. Only using this still because I paid for it and don't have an alternative.

I'm extremely disappointed since Platejoy was bought out. It used to be simple and straightforward, but has gone downhill. I was a loyal customer and suggested this app to others, but I won't any longer. My custom foods to avoid were removed, and I'm not able to add them back. I can no longer use my (admittedly older) iPad while cooking because the recipe screen is empty. The shopping experience is worse because they removed the ability to quickly look at the recipes while shopping.

It was fine, but I found my grocery bill went up (lots of fresh herbs were called for and at $5 a pop it adds up) , and as a Canadian not having an option for metric was a pain. I *cook* in imperial but having to convert the gallons, pints, ounces, and pounds in my grocery list to metric took extra time. I guess ultimately though my partner and I were looking for a Hello Fresh that we made ourselves and the recipes just never really delivered.
