We're trying to organize our meal planning and make it efficient and easy to manage. Problem is, virtually every app for android at least, does not let you print the recipe and print shopping list after sending the ingredients to the app's shopping list.
Fit Men Cook: Fail-- amateur interface, cannot print anything. Good recipes though
Side Chef: Fail-- Better interface, still cannot print shopping list. good recipes though
Yumly: Fail-- cannot print.
you would think someone would dev an app that does ALL of the following:
1. Choose menu recipes from particular diet classifications, paleo, keto, low carb, high protein, etc
2. Populate weekly meal plan with chosen recipes, generate shopping list from chosen recipes for the week
3. Print recipe to printer from phone or chromebook
4. print shopping list to printer from phone or chromebook
That's all we're looking for. The ability to do the above so we can refer to a sheet of paper while cooking instead of smearing up our phone or chromebook touch screens. Same for going to the grocery-- refer to a list on paper instead of walking around twiddling our phone to go through the shopping list.
Yes, we have cookbooks and notebooks and pencils and pens. We do it Old School, but we're simply trying to modernize it and make it quicker and more efficient. So far most of the apps are a disappointment.
We're totally fine with paying to register an app, get the "pro" version, etc. upgrading to the full version of Fit Men Cook, for instance, didn't glean squat except for unlocking ability to add more stuff to shopping list ... that you still cannot print out.
Also, most of the apps display on the chromebook's 10" screen in a narrow rectangular phone screen format and there is no option to expand it or format it to the larger screen.
