Does this family meal planning app exist?

Busy family: DH and I both work long hours, but typically cook (in advance) from scratch. 3 dc aged 7-13.

I would like an app that:
Other family members could access in order to suggest meals. (And also to stop them asking repeatedly what's for dinner)
That I could link my recipes to.
If at all possible also one which can add ingredients to a shopping list or grocery baskets.
And maybe even see on my Google home hub.

I appreciate the last 2 might be a bit too much to expect... but given that there must be so many families like us, surely such an app has been invented??

Ive started using Cherrypick. Ive only done it twice so far, but it links to Tesco and Sainsburys online shop.

I can send the meal plan to the family whatsapp

We have a few shared family Google Keep notes - one a list of dinners for the week (section at the bottom for suggestions) and one a shopping list that we can all add to.

We've got a leftovers list too for stuff in the freezer but people who shall remain nameless dh forget to update that one so it doesn't work as well.

Forgot to add - night before shopping is done, at dinner time everyone picks one meal for the following week (bonus points to dc who then agree to cook it as well!). Takes a bit of the pressure off. My dc are older than yours though.

Cherrypick! It's the best.

Another one using Cherrypick. It's not without its foibles, but it's pretty damn good.

I am trying cherry pick and agree it's pretty great- thanks all!
