Program Updates
The development team is working hard to make updates, squash bugs, and add new features to both the desktop and mobile app versions of Plan to Eat!
App:
This month, we released version 3.6.0:
- We added Bulk Edit actions to the Meal Planner!
- We added “Quick Action” buttons to the recipe detail page.
- We fixed a bug that caused events for menus created offline to be added to your planner instead of the new menu.
- We fixed a bug affecting the “Add Item to Shopping List” page.
- We fixed a bug that was causing the Menus modal not to open in certain cases.
- We relocated the “Get Help” button in the action sheets to the top right.
Desktop:
- We improved the meal planner so you have more space to view your recipe book on smaller screens.
- We updated the Recipe Share > Blog feature so the embedded HTML includes bulleted nutritional information (in the correct order) and numbered directions.
- We added the ability to customize the meal times for your planned events when sharing your planner feed with other calendars.

“I’ve been using this app for years now and it’s indispensable. Plan meals easily, add recipes with a couple of clicks, set up a shopping list that’s easy to use in the store. Check nutritional stats. Its just got everything. Kudos to the developers.”
“The answer to my most dreaded “what’s for supper” question! Not only is it great to store recipes and help me plan, but I find myself using those recipes I had forgotten about bc I can queue them! Thank so much Plan to Eat.”
