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 3.7.2:
- We fixed a bug that was causing the page to scroll on iOS 26 when tapping inside field inputs.
- We added the ability to generate beginner mode directions for your recipes.
Desktop:
- We added a “deleted” option in your recipe book so you can easily see and restore deleted recipes. This option used to be located on the account page.
- We fixed a confusing bug where, when viewing hidden or removed recipes, selecting the “select all recipes” checkbox would sometimes select recipes in your main recipe book.
