You don’t need an account to use Menu Planner 2. It opens ready to use, and without an account everything stays on this device.

A free account is needed for Premium + Sync — syncing between your devices and cloud backup — and to start or join a household. Looking up foods and barcodes online, and opening links people send you, don’t need an account.

  1. Tap your picture at the top left to open Profile & Settings, then tap Sign In / Sign Up.
  2. Enter your email and tap Email Me a Code. Type the code from the email and tap Sign In — or Create Account if the email is new.
  3. Or tap Continue with Apple or Continue with Google.

With Premium + Sync, your account’s recipes and plans then come to this device. While they arrive, Home shows Getting your recipes and plans, with what your account has and how far it has got. You can keep using the app. If this device already has recipes or plans of its own, you’re asked first what to do with them.

There’s no password to remember — a new code is emailed each time you sign in with your email. It can take a minute to arrive; if you don’t see it, check your junk folder or tap Send a New Code.
