Question 1

What is MealThinker?

Accepted Answer

MealThinker is an AI-assisted meal planning app. The personalized app can use relevant settings and records you choose to save—such as dietary preferences, allergies, cooking constraints, pantry items, meal history, and goals—to help you plan meals through conversation. Its separate free generator creates a seven-dinner starter plan from a checked-in meal catalog without an account or live AI generation call.

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Direct web subscriptions cost $15/month or $150/year, which saves $30 compared with twelve monthly payments. The App Store and Google Play show localized prices and billing periods before you confirm a native purchase.

Question 3

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

An eligible direct-web account may receive one 7-day trial, and a payment method is required. Apple and Google Play independently show native trial eligibility, price, and renewal date in their purchase sheets. A trial renews as the selected paid plan unless you cancel through that billing provider before its displayed renewal date.

Question 4

How do I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Cancel a direct-web subscription through Manage Billing, or cancel through the App Store or Google Play if you subscribed there. Access continues through the current paid or trial period, and cancellation alone does not issue a refund. Direct web purchases include a 14-day full-refund guarantee when you contact support@mealthinker.com within 14 days of your first charge; native refunds follow the applicable store's process.

Question 5

What dietary preferences do you support?

Accepted Answer

Saved diet options include vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, low-carb, high-protein, and paleo. You can also provide cooking preferences, free-text notes, and allergy settings. These are planning context, so review every generated ingredient for dietary suitability.

Question 6

How does the AI know what to suggest?

Accepted Answer

Eligible requests can use relevant saved context such as your dietary and allergy settings, cooking constraints, goals, pantry names, and recent meal or recipe records. MealThinker does not learn independently or remember everything, so review the context and each generated result.

Question 7

Can I track my nutrition?

Accepted Answer

MealThinker can calculate estimated daily targets from the profile information you provide and add a meal to your daily log when you explicitly log it. The nutrition view totals estimated calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat from recorded meal data; missing nutrition can make a total partial. These estimates are planning aids, not medical advice.

Question 8

What if I have food allergies?

Accepted Answer

You can save allergy settings for use as generation context, but generated recipes can be incomplete or wrong and are not an allergy-safety guarantee. Check every ingredient, label, substitution, and preparation environment yourself before eating or serving a meal.

Question 9

Can I use MealThinker on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MealThinker is available as an iOS app on the App Store, an Android app on Google Play, and on the web at mealthinker.com. When you use the same account, supported saved records are available across those platforms.

Question 10

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email support@mealthinker.com or use the contact page at mealthinker.com/contact. We usually reply within an hour when available and always within 24 hours.

Question 11

Is my data secure? Do you sell or share it?

Accepted Answer

MealThinker does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. It uses service providers for functions such as hosting, authentication, payments, email, error monitoring, and AI generation as described in the Privacy Policy. Relevant planning context may be processed by AI providers, but MealThinker does not send them your email address, account credentials, name, or payment information. Connections use HTTPS, payment details are handled by the billing provider, and you can delete your account from Settings; associated data is deleted within 30 days except where law requires retention.

Question 12

Can I export my recipes?

Accepted Answer

MealThinker does not currently provide a one-click bulk recipe export. You can print an individual saved recipe from its recipe card, or view and copy its details from Saved Recipes.
