5/5I get it
It’s a nice app but I’m not a fan of putting default features behind a paywall. Would have preferred to pay a few dollars for just the app itself with the features mealie already provides. I’ll still give it 5 stars because it’s the only app I’ve found for iOS.

1/5Monetizing off of free features
I really wanted this to be a good app but honestly the UI is plain and not as good looking as Mealie looks on the web, and if that were all that was wrong with this app I’d give it a 3/5 stars. But this guy just had to make pretty much every feature locked behind a paywall…. Keep in mind that these features are all included for free on your self-hosted web version. Save your money for some kitchen gadgets and just add the PWA to your Home Screen (please google PWA if you don’t understand and prepare to have your mind blown and money saved)

4/5Good but needs work
I found this app after installing my Mealie server and I think it has a lot of promise. There are a couple of things I'd like to note: 1. Recipe scaling does not appear to work. The app allows you to change multipliers but does not apply them to the numbers in the ingredient list. 2. The Meal Plan is a neat idea but I'd also love to see a way to add a recipe to a meal plan from the recipe itself.

3/5First Time Set Up Not Clear
Looks really good, but doesn’t seem to sync any of my recipes. I bought the full app, and I can see my meal plan recipes, once I click on those they get added to the recipe list, but for some reason the full sync isn’t working. I’m using API login, is that the problem? Wish there was a little more documentation on setting things up.

5/5Great addition to Mealie
I can't believe how much I adore MealieSwift! After several months of use, it has officially become my ultimate go-to for accessing my Mealie container! The experience has been nothing short of fantastic, and I have to give a massive shoutout to the developer—working with them has been an absolute joy!
