Using the website, I can see my recipes in the meal planner which is great. But I would expect that I could click on the recipe and have it be pulled up so that I could see it or print it. I am trying to plan meals for several weeks in advance, and then when that day comes up just be able to click on the recipe to use it. As it is now I would need to jot down the name of the recipe, then leave meal planner and go to recipes and search for that recipe to use it. This works, but is not as efficient as it could be.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback!
Just click on the button with a pen on the right of your recipe, you will find a link to open your recipe
Have a nice day!

Help! All my planned meals have dissappeared from the app. They are still there in the web version thankfully but I need them back in the app version. Also, if you could add a search and duplicate function (like to make a meal every x months) to the planner that would be very helpful. Merci!
