The app loads slowly which could be improved. There could also be a wider variety of egg free and dairy free recipes. ### 5/5 — Great App for weaning! *2026-07-10* I’ve been using the AK app for about a month now and really enjoy the recipes for my 7 month old. The food tracking and serving features are also fun resources! One annoying point would be on latency - it’s takes a few secs to load when the app starts. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review - it's so lovely to hear that you're enjoying our new Foods section! And thank you for your feedback on the loading speed - this is something we are actively working on at the moment, so keep an eye out for updates in the future! ❤️ - Team AK ### 5/5 — The recipes and use of app *2026-07-09, version 5.0.1* The app is amazing and really covers each stage of weaning and the recipes are simple and easy to follow! ### 5/5 — Wish I’d had this from the start of weaning journey *2026-07-09, version 5.0.1* App is so good! So simple and visually appealing to use. A one stop shop for all kinds of recipes - from family meal to quick snacks when you’ve run out of ideas. Definitely worth the subscription ### 5/5 — Make meal times quick and simple *2026-07-09, version 5.0.1* I’ve really enjoyed using the Annabel Karmel app. As a mum of both a toddler and a baby, I often find myself wondering what to cook, and this has made mealtimes so much easier. The recipes are easym to follow, use everyday ingredients, and there’s a great variety to choose from. One of my favourite features is the guide that explains how to prepare and serve different foods safely depending on your child’s age, which has been especially helpful while weaning my youngest. I also love being able to save favourite recipes and keep track of which meals my children enjoyed, making it much easier to plan future meals. If you’re looking for meal inspiration or support with weaning and feeding little ones, I’d definitely recommend giving this app a try. ### 4/5 — Great for recipe ideas *2026-07-09, version 5.0.1* I’ve been using this to make meals for my baby and it’s really easy to use and gives the method in a simple way ### 5/5 — Great app for weaning journey *2026-07-08, version 5.0.1* Such a great app to assist your baby on their weaning journey! I found starting solids quite overwhelming and stressful, but using this app has made the process a lot easier. I love the range of recipes available, as well as the clear instructions. I highly recommend this app for any parents who need some meal inspiration for their little ones! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-08, version 5.0.1* I’ve found the app really helpful during our weaning journey. It has a great variety of recipes that are easy to search and filter by age, and I love that each recipe includes storage and freezing advice to make meal prep much easier. Overall, it’s a really useful app that keeps everything weaning-related in one place, making introducing new foods feel much less overwhelming. ### 5/5 — Great for fussy toddlers!! *2026-07-08, version 5.0.1* Having a very fussy toddler, meal times can be hard and expensive!! She loves using this app to pick what she wants to make, and the frozen treats are so simple to make too! We would definitely recommend this app! ### 5/5 — A life saver for busy parents *2026-07-08, version 5.0.1* As a busy mum of two little ones, I often struggle to decide what to cook every day. The Annabel Karmel app has made mealtimes so much easier! The recipes are quick, simple, and nutritious, with plenty of variety for babies, toddlers, and the whole family. Every recipe I’ve tried has turned out really well, and my little ones have genuinely enjoyed them. It’s taken so much of the stress out of meal planning, and I always have new ideas when I’m stuck. I’d definitely recommend it to any parent looking for easy, family-friendly recipes! ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2026-07-07, version 5.0.1* A brilliant app for weaning! I love that the recipes use ingredients we usually already have at home, and the food library makes it so easy to check how to safely serve different foods by age. It’s simple to use, beautifully designed and full of great ideas. I’d definitely recommend it to any parent. ### 5/5 — Helpful for weaning and meal planning. *2026-07-06, version 5.0.1* The food sections are great for knowing how to serve food at different ages and stages, and I love that the recipes are organised by ingredients. I was struggling with tea ideas before, and it's been a great source of inspiration. My 10-month-old is about to start at a childminder, and I was struggling for lunchtime ideas. There is a lunchbox section, but when I filtered it to her age and dairy-free allergy, there weren't many options available. However, after searching the app, I still managed to find lots of different lunch ideas for us to try. All in all, I'm really impressed. We've tried numerous recipes, and they've gone down really well. I'd definitely recommend it to other parents and carers. ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-07-06, version 5.0.1* Very easy to use, lots of search features. Great to be able to keep the screen on while cooking. Lots of ideas for a varied menu! ### 5/5 — Great variety and easy to make! *2026-07-06, version 5.0.1* I have really enjoyed using this app to find a range of different recipes for weaning my 9 month old. I like that you can find both purees and BLW type recipes as it suits everyone, especially for someone who likes to mix and match. Also have found the search by ingredient function really useful. I’ve made lots of things I would never have found otherwise! Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Perfect for our weaning journey! *2026-07-06, version 5.0.1* The app has helped so much with the start of our weaning journey and looking to the coming weeks and months ahead! Being able to follow the recipes and fill the freezer has been a life saver!! ### 5/5 — An amazing app for the whole family. *2026-07-06, version 5.0.1* We absolutely love the Annabel Karmel app. It’s made planning meals for my little one so much easier. The recipes are simple to follow, nutritious and use everyday ingredients. I would definitely recommend it to any parent looking for delicious, practical recipes and meal inspiration. ### 5/5 — Just what we needed ! *2026-07-04, version 5.0.1* This app has been amazing for our family! The baby and family-friendly recipes are delicious, easy to follow, and have made our weaning journey so much less stressful. I love that everyone can enjoy the same meals, and the app is so user-friendly and well organized. It takes the guesswork out of meal planning and makes feeding my little one simple and enjoyable. Highly recommend! ### 3/5 — Hit and miss *2026-06-29, version 5.0.1* Some of the recipes are fantastic and the search feature is amazing. The apps let down by a couple of things: -it’s slow. Super slow, struggled to load often. - some of the recipes will be labelled no cook but contained cooked ingredients. Ie. puree requiring roasted vegetables IS NOT “no cook”. -freezing/stoate information often not present. Once my next billing period is up I won’t be renewing. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-24, version 5.0.0* Loved this app especially the tracker to monitor what my baby has tried and loved also gives a breakdown of how to prepare and serve each ingredient! So much variety on there in terms of recipes making the minefield of weaning so much easier! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Have to pay to access recipes *2026-08-19, version 5.0.4* Can’t access any recipes unless you pay. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work even when paying *2026-06-20, version 5.0.0* I’ve had this for a couple of years, never loads the recipes, constantly having to force close it and try again. It’s been updated and now I can’t see anything at all. I pay for this yearly so don’t bother wasting your money. ### 1/5 — Impossible to sign up *2026-06-14, version 4.0.69* I just want to subscribe it’s impossible to do so. The free trial button doesn’t work and there’s no other way to do so. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-05-13, version 4.0.68* Was ok to begin with but after a week recipe pictures were no longer visible and all the tabs on the homepage were unable to be clicked on. Contacted HQ 3 days ago but no response ### 1/5 — Glitchy app. Waste on money. Paid 1 year subscription didn’t cook 1 recipe *2026-03-25, version 4.0.64* Awful app. I paid for a whole year subscription and could never get the app to work. It was beyond frustrating and a waste of money. ### 1/5 — False advertising ‘free guide’ *2026-03-24, version 4.0.64* 1: I put in my details to receive the “FREE 20 first foods guide” all I received was a email trying to get me to purchase the app, with no guide in sight. I was able to look at the app without starting the free trial and the guide is no where to be seen. This is false marketing and has put me off purchasing the subscription. If you want customers, be honest. 2: Also after reading other reviews I’m happy to pass. Sounds like a scam. 3 Final note: Making people pay for a puree (eg. Apple and banana) is crazy. All you have to do is steam it and blend it… crazy. ### 1/5 — Needs technical improvements *2026-02-01, version 4.0.57* The recipes are fantastic yet the app itself is so slow and crashy ### 1/5 — Won’t be renewing my subscription *2025-11-21, version 4.0.53* Many of the recipe methods are wrong, don’t correspond to the recipe or have missing steps. Very frustrating and shouldn’t be so hard to get a basic recipe right ### 1/5 — Rubbish recipes *2025-10-26, version 4.0.52* Don’t waste your time, had a subscription for more than a year. Tried a few recipes and they were just totally off, not at all like the pictures/ videos. If you are a tired parent, and you don’t like to waste your precious time then don’t bother with this awful service ### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS APP *2025-09-24, version 4.0.48* You literally have to have a membership to see any recipes at all. For $8/month, you can find recipes that you can find for free online. Ridiculous ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The Holy Grail for Baby Weaning *2026-08-21, version 5.0.4* I have been using this app since I first started weaning my little boy 7 months ago. As an anxious first time Mum with a baby who had CMPA, I really wanted to make sure that he was having nutritious meals at every stage - which initially had to be dairy free or adaptable. The recipes, app set up and guidance is brilliant and took so much of the guesswork out of weaning. My little one is now 13 months old and has a very healthy appetite - there are very few things he won’t eat! Much of that is due to the variety I was able to give him through the recipes on this app. I will continue to use it and am so grateful it exists! If you’re on a weaning journey, I can’t recommend Annabel’s app enough. ### 5/5 — Best feeding app *2026-08-20, version 5.0.4* Honestly cannot recommend this app enough. I love it so much. It has made feeding my baby (now toddler) so easy and he is such a good eater from all the different meals we have tried. If you’re a new mum with no idea what or how to start - honestly use this app it’s brilliant. And even if you’re not a new mum, the family meals and toddler food is just great at giving ideas. Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — Easy & nutritious *2026-07-23, version 5.0.2* I’ve been using this app since returning to work full-time when my daughter turned one, it’s been a lifesaver. The recipes are quick, easy to follow, and packed with nutritious ingredients, giving us lots of variety. My daughter refused to eat eggs from six months old, thanks to recipes like the chicken fritters and broccoli tots, she’s now happily eating them without fuss. As a first-time mum it’s made mealtimes easy and less stressful. I couldn’t recommend it more! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-07-14, version 5.0.2* Such an amazing app to have right at your fingertips for when you’ve ran out of inspiration! So many easy to prep ideas - and you can even get your little ones involved in the cooking process too ### 5/5 — Saving mums from weaning hell! *2026-07-14, version 5.0.2* If you’re weaning a little one and constantly wondering “what on earth can I make today?”… this app has honestly been a lifesaver for me. 🙌 Frankie is currently going through the classic phase of throwing half her food on the floor 🤦‍♀️, so I’m always looking for recipes that are nutritious, easy to make and packed with lots of different ingredients. Today we made these cheesy sweet potato & mushroom tots 🧀🍠🍄, and they’re such a great way to sneak in plenty of goodness in one bite. They’re perfect for little hands too! The app has given me so many ideas when I’ve completely run out of inspiration, and it’s definitely made weaning feel a lot less overwhelming. If you’re a mum who’s stuck in a rut with what to feed your baby, I’d genuinely recommend giving it a try. It’s been one of the most useful apps on my phone during our weaning journey! 💛 ### 5/5 — Makes mum life so much easier *2026-07-11, version 5.0.2* Even the fussiest of eaters enjoy these recipes! My 3 year old loves cooking with me and enjoys now helping to cook for his little sister too. Great recipes that are not complicated and full of ingredients you already have in your cupboard. Love that it’s also suitable for us grownups too! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-11, version 5.0.2* Love love this ! So easy for meals for the children and the family . It’s amazing for weaning too and gives you so many ideas . Honestly so happy with this app! ### 5/5 — Great recipes! *2026-07-11, version 5.0.1* I have been using this app since 2024 for my babies/ toddler and family recipes. There’s always new recipes to try and a wide range of different ingredients to suit all diets. It makes my life that little bit easier when it comes to my little one’s meal times. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, perfect for everyone *2026-07-11, version 5.0.1* Really easy app to use, a huge variety of recipes for the whole family! We love the layout the app as well as the incredible content. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Anyone can do it! *2026-07-10, version 5.0.1* Super easy to follow, allowing any baby a great and healthy start in life 🥦 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
