I’m looking for an easy to use meal planning app. What features should I look for?
Which app do you use? Why did you pick that one?

I just use paprika for my recipes, meal planning, and grocery list.

I use RecetteTek. I can download recipes or add my own, make shopping lists and plan my meals. My favourite feature is to give it a shake and a random recipe pops up. Makes meal planning a little more fun  |

I'm super basic, but this is working for me.
I have a dinner calendar in my google calendar. I have our family favorites set up to repeat every 4 or 8 weeks (8 weeks for meals one person loves and the others tolerate). There are probably 4-5 days every week that come in pre-populated with a dinner suggestion. On Saturday, I look at the meals in relation to other things on my calendar and will make tweaks. Sometimes I move things around. Sometimes I swap out completely if we want to try something new or if my family is sick of something.
It helps to speed up my meal planning each week AND it helps to make sure I'm not making a family favorite every week and then making the family sick of it.

I'm a Paprika fan to keep my recipes organized. But I do my planning on a piece of paper.
One of the things I love about it is the ability to pull in an online recipe. Then when I invariably make changes, I can easily edit it to show what I did.

I use eMeals. I like not having to search out recipes and having a great variety in my diet. If you are so inclined you can have them out together a shopping order for Walmart or Kroger. I don't use this feature.
