3/5Need improvement
The concept is amazing and ultimately it works BUT….. there is no option to have fish or shellfish as a restriction so I’m getting quite a few recipes that have them in it. There is also a glitch to where if you browse recipes, you can’t scroll on it until you touch the very very edge of the screen which is almost never.

3/5Promising concept, but very new app
Suggest more testing before rolling out updates. Right now the swap dinner button doesn't work at all. Would also suggest including more than just dinners as humans eat more than one meal per day.

3/5Needs more variety
I like the concept for sure but every meal is so repetitive and is only Asian food based. I try to swap out for other meals and that’s the only choices it gives me

2/5A lot of kinks
I selected 3-4 people and it’s only showing me a plan for 2 people. A lot of the recipes don’t include any sides (it will literally just be chicken thighs). To me that’s not very sustainable. The app is also overall slow/lags
