  • Option to start small or use a comprehensive weekly plan.
  • Goals are adjustable over time.

  • Syncs with grocery delivery services for convenience.
  • New users can use a free two-week trial before paying $8 to $12 for a subscription.

Cons

  • The developer privacy disclosure indicates that the app may use data regarding users’ location, contact information and diagnostics to track across apps and websites owned by other companies. Other data also may be linked to you including usage data and purchases.
  • DishQuo places a heavy emphasis on logging meals, which may not be a good fit for all users.

Bottom Line: DishQuo is similar to other meal planning apps but has a major tracking and weight-loss component that may not be a good fit for those following a non-diet approach to health and well-being.
