What would make Mealime better for you? 🚀

Awesome! Thanks for your thoughts on these points. That’s super helpful.

I’m currently making an iPad-optimized app for Mealime. I’ve been testing it for my own cooking the past week and I can confirm that it is… awesome!

Thanks - can’t wait!

If you could make it to where when you share the app you can chose what platform to share it on. For example like Facebook messenger or regular text messaging. I really don’t wanna share it to my wall as not everyone would be interested I only wanna share it to a select few friends which I can personally send it to them so that’s something you could fix.

Personally, I don’t mind a lot of options as long as the user interface is easy to use and not crowded. Maybe a drop down bar at the top that allows you to filter types of cooking methods, meal plans etc.

I would love if it could do the shopping for me! If I could check what I already have and validate the list to send it to a supermarket with home delivery service I would be super happy!

Pressure cooker recipes since I love using mime and having more in here would be awesome. Same with crock pot recipes as others have mentioned.

For me also Integration with google keep would be awesome. I use it for my shopping lists since it syncs across devices. That way I can just look at one list on one app instead of two.

Me too! I’m working on forming partnerships with grocery stores and delivery services to make this happen. If anyone knows a CEO of a major grocery chain, I’d love an introduction

Comment: i want to say I LOVE this app! And for some reason my grocery bills are a lot cheaper lol. It would be nice to look up recipes by type (vegetarian today, low carb tomorrow, high protein the next, etc) to meet my work out needs. I tried doing it but it resets my selections.

Awesome app!

Thanks! And thanks for the suggestion, too.

I would like to create meal plan and save the plan as a favorite. Then be able to select that plan for a week instead of picking recipes.

mitch · August 12, 2018, 5:20pm

Good suggestion. I could see repeating meal plans being really useful, too! This would go well with a meal plan history feature, so you can see all your previous meal plans and select one to repeat.

Hi Renegaderete - Just wanted to let you know that our iPad app was released this week - Cooking mode is supported in sideways (landscape) view. Hope this helps!

fretallack · August 21, 2018, 8:55pm

Hi Rwatlz! Just wanted to let you know that our iPad app was released this week! It includes a Cooking Mode format that takes advantage of the larger screen. Check it out in the App Store and let us know what you think!

You all expressed some interest in being able to share nutritional information to MyFitnessPal, Fitbit, or other apps. For those of you that are iOS users, we just wanted to let you know that Mealime’s latest version now includes an integration with Apple Health, which in turn will sync with MyFitnessPal, Fitbit and other nutritional apps.

This is just version 1 of the integration, but it should make things easier in consolidating your nutritional info! And for those looking for a direct integration with MyFitnessPal, please let them hear from you! We’ve made inquiries but so far no response from their side…

Let us know what you think about the new features! Cheers!

Hhall673 · August 22, 2018, 7:58pm

Loving the app so far, thank you for creating such a helpful tool!

My one suggestion is that I would love to be able to upload new recipes into the app. From sites like allrecipes etc. Any hope for future abilities to upload recipes from outside the app?

I’m very satisfied with the recipes so far, but want to be able to mix in breakfast items, smoothies, desserts etc as I use it mostly for a meal-planning app and less for calorie restrictions.

Thanks again for your awesome work!

s_connell · August 24, 2018, 9:29pm

A Vegan meal plan would be nice

Slowburn · August 27, 2018, 4:33pm

I love the app and I just want to emphasize as you make changes, please do not make them overly complicated. One of the things I really love about this app is the simplicity. I’ve been a pro user for going on almost a year and I have a large online community that I’ve recommended this app to several times. Several people also use it now as well.

Suggestions:

KETO KETO KETO - This means high-protein high-fat low-carb’s. Your low-carb solutions are also low fat typically, and as I have followed Keto I’ve found myself using this app less and less because the options just aren’t there for recipes that fit within my current diet plan.
For those of you looking for integration into calorie trackers, Carb Manager allows you to integrate your recipes from any website including taking the link from Mealime and putting it into your calorie counter. It also tracks macros beautifully.
I second the option for removing some items from the recipe and getting more accurate nutritional information with those items removed. Sometimes I can alter your recipes to be lower carb higher fat, but then the nutritional information is completely off.
More new recipes! As a pro user one of the things I love is having all these awesome recipes that are exclusive to me because I pay a premium each month. I would like even more!
The idea for rating recipes is spot on. I have occasionally found a recipe that isn’t great, and I would like to be able to remove this from my search results in the future by giving it a low rating or letting other people know why I would not cook this meal again.

Thank you for the excellent app and I look forward to coming changes!

mitch · August 27, 2018, 4:42pm

Wow. Thanks for all of this great feedback. That’s fantastic! Here are my thoughts point-by-point:

We added a “Keto” menu type recently with some great Keto recipes. Try it out and let me know how it is!
Since we synchronize our nutritional info with Apple Health now, iPhone users should be able to get that info into Carb Manager automatically (assuming Carb Manager supports importing from Apple Health, if not let them know ).
Good suggestion.
We are working hard to get lots of new recipes out to you! We make all the recipes in house which ensure that they are awesome, but it definitely takes a lot of work. We have two awesome chefs starting who are going to help us consistently add great recipes!
Thumbs up on this idea

Slowburn · August 27, 2018, 4:43pm

Also I just thought of this! You say sometimes that you released new recipes, is there a way to feature only new recipes so that we can see all the hard work you’ve been doing? Even if it doesn’t fit in with our plans, it be great to see that the app continues to update with new and better recipes and maybe we can direct you into new recipes that would fit more of our diet plans in general.
