Meal Builder Pro - calorie and nutrition counter & menu planner App Reviews

Was excited to find an app to analyze recipes but it is cumbersome and is not accurate. Frustrated. Will go back my Internet web site.

Wish I had read the reviews before I purchased this app. I was encouraged by the word "pro" in the title. It is cumbersome. Would like to make a meal plan without having to write the recipes first. Dont buy it.

I was excited to find an app that calculates my recipes nutrition facts. However, It crashes too frequently and I have lost two extensive recipes & instructions because of it. SUGGESTED FIXES: stop the crashing, the ability to add photos from iPhone photo library, share on Twitter & Facebook, the ability to print, the ability to back up recipes via iCloud or transfer to a PC/MAC.

App is awful!!!! Crashed from the moment I opened cant get to work. Dont buy!!!!!

As someone who has to wait two weeks between paychecks, I love that you can plan more than a week in advance so Im not making last minute trips to the store. I did have it crash once while I was inputting my recipes, so I hope thats fixed soon. That is my only complaint, as this app does everything I need it to.

Great app. Love that it creates nutritional labels for my home-cooked recipes. I dont use the shopping list as mich as I should, it is a nice feature. Only down-side is I wish it would do a partial search in the database. It gets tedious typing every ingredient completely in order to locate it. And if you spell something wrong you get no results and have to re-enter it. I have had no problems with it crashing. Works great on my iPod touch.

With a very active lifestyle, desiring to eat healthy, however, prep time has always been an issue...until now! Meal Builder Pro is just what I need! I will admit i was cautious since there were no reviews, so by prayer and faith I "stepped into the water," and what an incredible blessing! Not only am I able to menu plan, but there is so much more: I can add recipe groups, add "custom ingredients," nutrition values, create a shopping list for the specific meals, check them off my list AND send an email of a recipe (with instructions) to my husband, BONUS!! I only wish I was able to edit existing list of ingredients instead on adding under the "custom" tab. Im really excited and look forward to cooking healthy, its actually fun now. Im very pleased and found it was well worth the cost...Thank You, Lord!

I wish I had known before I bought this app that it has only two "recipes" preloaded. You have to add recipes to make this work. You cannot add a simple food that doesnt have a recipe to a day because theres no recipe for it. Lets say you want to add an apple for breakfast. You guessed it, you have to add a recipe for an apple first. You cant enter an apple without creating a recipe! Im sure its a lovely app otherwise but I was so irritated by this that I deleted an app that I actually paid for.

This app says its a recipe builder, where? Very dissappointed

It needs work . . . how can it have "chicken tail" listed and not have chicken breast or chicken thighs, or at least light and dark meat. Btw, what is chicken tail?

Keeps crashing. Its useless. Dont bother with this! I want my money back! They have found a new way of making money! Make a useless app, then sell it to unsuspecting consumers!

No recipes. You have to do all the work in this app. Has great potential but theres nothing included. Waste of $$$.

This app has everything I need, recipe management, nutrition and shopping list, but Im used to paprika recipe manager, and they have this super easy to use function to add recipes from the internet, so having to write everything from scratch on this app its not really worth it for me.

The description states that this app offers over 100,000 common recipe ingredients to choose from. The first ingredient I tried to add to a recipe was chicken breast. Guess what? Not there. Chicken feet was on the list though. That should come in handy.

It a nice app but I doing menu planning and I have to create a recipe for basic things like bake potatoes to be able to include in the menu for the meal.

It would be nice to be able to sync between devices instead of having to input recipes twice.

This is a very helpful app. To the person who cant find chicken you have to "browse ingredients" you will find a lot of chicken parts with and without skin. Yes you have to input your recipe but I love to cook and am doing ww so this conversion works great, put it in protracker app and I am done ;) happy cooking. And yes anything can be improved so syncing devices would be good.

No baking powder which I see as a basic in all cook books. Im not sure what else miss just deleting app was hoping for app I could add my American heart cookbooks to and make meal plan for us.

I use it all the time keeping track of my nutrition and what to buy in the grocery store. Has 2 problems it freezes up and you need to close it and reopen at least you never lose what you were doing. The other issue is lack of ingredients but I just make them in custom ingredient

This app does exactly what I need it to do. I can enter a recipe and see basic nutrition information like fat grams and fiber. It helps me organize my recipes and keep them in one place. Well worth the $2.99.
