When we launched Version 4 of the Plan to Eat app, one change got more feedback than anything else: how ingredients look on your recipes. We asked you to vote on your preferred layout, and more than 1,450 of you responded. We’re excited for you to see what we built based on your feedback!
Two clear favorites
After hearing your thoughts on the V4 ingredient layout, we sent a short survey with six ingredient layouts and asked which one you’d want as the default. Two options stood out:
- 41.6% chose a layout with the amount on the left, set in a soft highlighted tag
- 35.2% chose a layout with the amount on the left, but right-aligned next to the ingredient name
Together, those two favorites earned more than three out of four votes. Both had one thing in common: they put the amount first, before the ingredient name.
Why not both? How we combined the top two layouts
Instead of picking one winner, we combined the two favorites into a new layout:
- Amounts are in a highlighted tag, so they stand out at a glance
- Amounts line up in one column, so you can scan straight down the list while you measure
- Ingredient names stay bold and easy to find

The new layout is live in version 4.1.1 of the app. Update Plan to Eat, open any recipe, and you’ll see it in the Ingredients section.
Thank you to everyone who took the survey! Your input shaped this change directly, and we’ll keep asking for your input as we roll out more updates. If you have thoughts on the recent app updates, we’d love to hear them in our general feedback form.
