Social media, picture editing and game apps are everywhere. If there’s not an app for something, someone will invent it. Lately, food apps are also available, proving useful for meal planning and shopping.

With an increasing number of smartphone users, there are helpful apps to assist users in their everyday lives.

If one does have time but not know what to cook, there are apps that will definitely help to make a delicious meal. If one just doesn’t feel like cooking, there are apps that will also provide the user with nearest restaurants based on their taste or interests.

“Urbanspoon” is a food app that displays nearby restaurants according to the neighborhood, cuisine and price range. Users are able to read and write reviews, browse ratings and make reservations.

For outstanding recipes, “Epicurious” is the app to download as it offers the best recipes from star chefs around the world. Users can choose from a variety of categories based on special occasions and skill levels. Users have the option to start with a main ingredient, then choose a course, cuisine and dietary restrictions.

“Whole Foods” offers a collection of more than 3,000 recipes, all of which can be filtered through the “On-Hand” function to find recipes based on the ingredients already in users’ cupboards. This free app also enables users to create shopping lists, explore tasty meal plans and even create their own recipes.

Much like the “Epicurious” app, “Allrecipes.com” is another food app that assists users in cooking meals within certain amount of time. Included in this app is a healthy grocery function as well as a recipe box of fan favorites. Dietary filters such as low sodium, low fat, non-dairy, vegetarian and no wheat are also available.

Planning meals is made easier with the “BigOven” app. It’s essentially a giant recipe box that makes it simple to access recipes tailored to every occasion and taste. A menu planning feature will also help families plan menus for a week. This app will keep cooks organized by helping to plan and keep the kitchen running smoothly.
