Is it possible to link the meal planner calendar with calendars that are already on my phone or even notifications? Thank would very awesome.
Hi, We don’t have yet this feature… Maybe one day ?
For some reason the print function stopped working. Any ideas?
What are you trying to print ?
Hello I would really appreciate a “random meal” button in the meal planner calendar

I absolutely love pro! I have it on my phone and my tablet. I am a cookbook junkie, I have a ton, but I will use this 99 out of 100. I literally spend hours looking for recipes. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Debra 🙂
Seit kurzem wird mein Wochenplan Mahlzeitenplanung nicht mehr vollständig angezeigt. Bitte um Hilfe.
Can you print out or export the planner?
Also, i do not see an option to free hand a recipe if you do not have recipe uploaded.
Hallo,
kann der Mahlzeitplaner nur mit gespeicherten Rezepten genutzt werden?
Viele Grüsse

Meal planner in my app doesn’t work -no “menu” button only the table. How can I plan meals?
If I eventually plan the meals, I’d love to have a widget on the main screen where I can see the table for at least one day, please.
BTW, your app is the best of the kind! Thanks.
Hi, you can find a button to plan a meal in the recipe page. We’ll try to improve the meal planner in a future release..
On your next update could you include a Print option and Edit option for the Meal Planner? I like to print out the weekly plan to hang on the fridge so I can see if something needs defrosting ahead of time. I also would like to add items to the days meal plan that complete the meal but don’t have a recipe.
Thanks.
Hi Sharon, is this feature now enabled on the PRO/Paid version?
It would be nice if we could sort the meals in the Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner fashion, with the possibility to inject “inbetween meals” also.
