Community Hub — Track your bug reports, vote on feature ideas, and connect with other MealHuddle users — all from one page inside the app. Every report now shows live status updates so you always know where things stand.
Surprise Me — Can't decide what to cook? Tap "Surprise Me" on the Add Meal page and get a personalized recipe suggestion based on what your family has enjoyed, what you haven't cooked recently, and what's different from your current plan. The more you cook and rate meals, the smarter it gets. (Pro)
Quick Notes — Not every meal is a recipe. Add notes like "Eating out at Olive Garden", "Leftovers from Tuesday", or "Skip — traveling" directly to your meal plan. Notes show up with a pencil icon and are automatically excluded from your grocery list.
Copy & Move Meals — Two new ways to handle meals across plans. "Move to Next Plan" shifts a meal you didn't get to. "Plan Again Later" lets you schedule favorites for specific future weeks with a date picker.
Recipe Health Check — See which recipes in your library are missing cook times, difficulty, cuisine, or photos. Pro subscribers can auto-fill missing details in one tap. Find it on the Recipes page.
Solutions Pages — New landing pages explaining how MealHuddle tackles common frustrations: family meal planning, grocery lists, recipe import, real-time collaboration, and more.
