## Review summary

Menu Planner is valued for budgeting and long-term meal planning with centralized recipe storage, but suffers from stability, syncing, and support issues, plus usability challenges. It needs ongoing maintenance and reliability improvements.

### Pros

- Budgeting feature: input ingredient prices to estimate total shopping costs
- Long-term, centralized storage of recipes and menus; considered indispensable by long-time users
- Customizable organization: ability to add your own categories
- Strong use-case for meal planning ahead, including planning menus weeks in advance
- Easy to use once familiar, with a reputation for usefulness by long-time users

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and stability issues, especially when using the print function
- Lack of ongoing developer support and updates; no accessible in-app contact option
- Unreliable syncing across devices, with data sometimes not syncing or being lost
- Import/export features and library integrations are flaky or broken (auto-import stops working, export crashes, barcode pantry searches fail)
- Navigation can be unintuitive and setup is time-consuming for new users
