Meals App is an app where you can look up for the best meals recipes, in there you can find the ingredients, measures, instructions and youtube video tutorial (if existing) of many different kinds of meals like pasta, beef, etc. In Meals App you can also track a schedule in a calendar where you can put on the meals that you were looking for.
