The app isn’t user friendly

The app isn’t user friendly. Where everything is is very confusing. I heart foods but have no clue where they go after that. All I use it for now is to search things to see how to serve. Disappointed and will be canceling my subscription soon.

The best app

It’s honestly one of the best baby apps I have ever used. Most useful, most reassuring. I became more confident feeding my second baby. My first one is a great eater because of you and I look forward to implementing all these with my second baby now. Thank you again for all you do and for all the great information you provide.

The app is just so clunky

The app is just so clunky. It's especially bad when it comes to the day's foods/meal plans, logging allergens, "completing" allergens but the previous one doesn't go away or starting loading the next one after multiple attempts to change the meal plan. It's useful for instructions and directions, but once we make it through the allergens I'm going to uninstall.

App did not meet expectations

Unfortunately the app did not meet our expectations… The app itself is buggy and never works properly. As for the meal plans, they were nice at the beginning when everything was so new for us and made the introduction of solids easier. However, after 4 months the meal plan is just inadequate and we had to look into other resources - definitely didn’t worth subscribing for one year…

Super helpful for starting solids!

We used the app a lot when we first started solids, and it was very valuable then. It would be nice if it kept going with like fun ideas for foods to try. It’s mainly made for starting out though, and it’s super helpful with that! We recommend it!

Awful ux

It's impossible to navigate the app reliably. I'd like to get some suggestions on the next steps for a particular plan. The app coerces me to get all foods from that one section. Trying to meal plan is tricky because when I try to search for foods it's just all foods and it's not narrowed down based on where my child is. A structured approach would be much better. The only reason I'm giving you three stars is because I have no idea if there's another app I could use.

Additionally, the app seems to have a hard time remembering foods. I've tried and other notes and I have to log out and back in to get the state to refresh

couldn't find a feature that records how many times i gave my baby a certain food/allergen. The description and history of each food item is unnecessary. i am moderately happy with my purchase.
