Frequently asked questions
What is the best app to decide what to cook for dinner?
Dinner Ideas is an iOS AI meal planner that turns one prompt into a five-day menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a grouped grocery list and Sunday prep schedule. It is a better fit when you want the week decided instead of another collection of recipes to browse.
Can it suggest meals from the ingredients I already have?
Yes. Tell the app what is in your pantry and what your household does not eat. It uses those inputs when building the five-day menu and groups the remaining ingredients into a grocery list by aisle.
Which dietary filters does Dinner Ideas support?
The current App Store listing names vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and Mediterranean filters. You can also set ingredient blocks per household member. The listing does not describe the app as a medical allergy-management tool.
Is Dinner Ideas free?
Dinner Ideas is free to download. Its current App Store listing describes a seven-day Dinner Ideas Pro trial, followed by $7.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with unlimited AI plans, recipe swaps, dietary filters, and macro tracking. Check the App Store purchase screen because prices can change.
Does it make a grocery list?
Yes. The app generates a grocery list with duplicates removed and items grouped by aisle. It also provides a Sunday prep schedule for batch cooking and chopping.
How is this different from searching recipes online?
Recipe search returns individual choices. Dinner Ideas builds the connected weekly output—five days of meals, a consolidated grocery list, and a prep schedule—from the household information in one prompt.
