The recipes, which all come with aesthetically-pleasing pictures, specify the cookware, ingredients and amount of time they take to cook. You can add any recipes you like to a weekly meal plan, and, after you have completed your recipes, their corresponding photos will turn gray, which helps you keep track of your cooking. The meal suggestions that this app provides are generally best suited for dinner or lunch. If you upgrade to Mealime pro ($5.99/month or $49.99/year), you can access exclusive recipes, nutritional information for the recipes and upload your own recipes to the app, among other features.
