The recipes are simple and tasty with a wide variety of styles/cuisines. I love that they are never fiddly and lots can be prepared ahead of time ready for busy days. The bales are great as you know they are always low in refined sugar and most can be completed with a little helper in tow! Would definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Lots of recipes at a great price *2021-04-19, version 3.2.0* The app was recommended by a couple of friends. It only cost £3.99 and there are so many recipes to try. The first recipe I made both 4 years and 1 year old love 😍 ### 5/5 — I love this app.... *2021-03-06, version 3.2.0* It’s got me all excited About preparing my baby’s food again, as I was running out of ideas There’s easy quick recipes in case we’re having an off day which I love simple flick through app easy to navigate with clear content could do with adding portion sizes some of them state some of them don’t but you can kinds of work it out by some the grams of the ingredients ### 5/5 — Great for inspiration *2021-02-13, version 3.2.0* I was recommended this by a fellow mum when I was wanting some finger food/snack ideas for my baby with dairy and egg allergy. Have made three of the recipes so far and they’ve worked brilliantly. Favourite by far is the tomato and basil scones (using flaxseed as an egg substitute) - need to make more as baby struggling to get a look in! ### 5/5 — Quality tasty meals for everyone! *2021-01-30* I’ve had this app for a couple of years now and we love it. My little girl eats everything I make her and it’s all super healthy & filling! I rate it 110%! From a Happy Australian user 🥰🥰🥰 ### 4/5 — Great recipes and easy to use *2021-01-17, version 3.2.0* A brilliant selection of simple, tasty recipes that I can cook for my 7 month old baby. The app is nice and straight forward to use and doesn’t over complicate things by trying to do ‘too much’. The recipes and search function make it’s easy to browse or find something specific and the shopping list function is a nice added touch. ### 5/5 — Great for babies with allergies and intolerances, too! *2020-12-29* Really clarifies the BLW approach and offers LOADS of recipes for babies with allergies. Great app! Thanks :-) ### 5/5 — Super App! *2020-12-14, version 3.2.0* This app has kept me sane through weaning! Quick and simple recipes on an app that is very easy to navigate your way around! Thanks so much! 👼🏻🍼👼🏻 ### 5/5 — Saved my sanity *2020-12-13, version 3.2.0* This app has SAVED me with my fussy eating 18 month old. About two months ago he was literally refusing every. single. thing I put down in front of him. I downloaded the app and started cooking recipes with him sat on the worktop watching/ helping and he has slowly started to accept meals again 💕 Tonight he sat with the family and ate a mountain of sushi and I’m actually looking forward to giving him Christmas dinner! What a bargain! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2020-12-13, version 3.2.0* Every recipe is simple to follow, easy to get toddlers involved and always turns out perfectly! ### 5/5 — Easy and tasty recipes *2020-12-11* I needed an app to give me new nutritious ideas for baby and this one has some great recipes! Definitely recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you so much, Jo x ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2020-12-10, version 3.2.0* We’ve only just started our weaning journey but so far so good! Easy to follow recipes with store cupboard ingredients. ### 5/5 — Healthy food for the whole family *2020-12-08, version 3.2.0* We love this app and I use it all the time. The meals are filling and healthy and it’s great to be able to cook for the whole family at the same time. So many of the recipes are really quick and easy or able to be prepped in advance too. ### 5/5 — Fantastic 💙 *2020-12-08, version 3.2.0* This is an amazing app, I cannot recommend it enough! It’s really user-friendly, I love it. You get so many recipes for the price. A must-have for anyone weaning. ### 5/5 — Amazing app- my bible for baby led weaning ideas *2020-12-08, version 3.2.0* I love this app. It really helps give me ideas and they are presented in an easy to use way. I’m no cook but there are plenty of simple ideas. Also love the family meals ideas so we can all eat the same. I recommend this app to all my friends who are embarking on their weaning journey. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pointless if you can cook *2021-09-02, version 3.2.0* I bought this app for some different ideas to cook for my 10 month old daughter and to be honest it’s nothing new. There’s nothing particularly exciting and if you’re pretty good in the kitchen you’ve done most of what’s on there already! ### 1/5 — It’s ok, but wouldn’t buy it again if I had the choice *2019-11-18* Recipes are too similar and by the time my baby was able to eat most of them she was old enough to eat what the rest of the family was having anyways. **Developer response:** The BLK recipes are designed to be for the whole family as we don't believe in regularly cooking separate meals for your baby. All are suitable from 6 months up unless otherwise stated. At the time of writing, there are 166 recipes on the app so we feel there is a wide variety of options on offer. ### 2/5 — Not made for US measurements *2019-03-23* I wish the app had conversions in cups, tablespoons, teaspoons etc. vs. ounces. I was unable to make most recipes due to that. I do not have a food scale. **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the review. All recipes feature US measurements, including cups, tablespoons and teaspoons where appropriate. We have a lot of US users. Please let us know if there's a particular recipe that you think could be clearer and we'd be happy to update accordingly. Happy cooking! ### 3/5 — Some recipes are vague *2023-01-12, version 3.2.0* I’ve struggled with a few of the recipes - simple things like knowing if the oven temp is fan, how many muffins/loaves to expect to make, whether butter should be melted (and when to add as recipe doesn’t mention it), should basil be chopped…list goes on 😕 there’s no mechanism to provide feedback on recipes or ask questions and the app hasn’t been updated in 2 years (I’ve had it for just over 2 years). That said, there are some great ideas and I’ve used lots of the recipes - I’ve just had to use my intuition and freestyle some of them! ### 3/5 — Nice but with issues *2021-03-18, version 3.2.0* I like the recipes, and it’s nice having all of them in one place. But I have some issues with the app functionality. I find it to be slow..it takes a few seconds to load any of the recipes or to go back, and considering it’s just a simple page with the recipe and steps, I’m not sure why it’s so slow. Also, the search function isn’t great. I have to use a work that is in the title of the recipe- would be great to search for any ingredient or allergen. Would also be good to have new recipes added periodically, with notifications for users. ### 3/5 — Glitchy app *2020-05-26, version 3.0.0* Sometimes app hangs, or unable to go back to previous page. No new recipes periodically. ### 3/5 — Mainly tasty food, but never quite the right consistency *2019-08-16, version 2.0.2* I’ve had this app for a year now since my daughter was 6 months old and I’ve persevered with it, however, I don’t know if it’s my cooking skills (quite possibly!) but although the meals are generally quite tasty, every recipe I’ve made has never turned out quite the right consistency as it should. For example, the cottage loaf is not solid (my toddler cannot hold it as it crumbles in her grasp) and the porridge fingers are like rubber. It’s a shame, as the food itself has a lovely flavour. ### 3/5 — Navigation / back button *2019-07-04* Bought this app a week or so ago and am in the middle of making some banana bread and am loving the look of some of the other recipes. The only issue I see at the moment, is that when I search (for example) for recipes that contain sweet potato and click on one of them to check it out, when I click the back arrow, I’d like to be able to see the list again rather than be taken all the way back to the home page where I have to search all over again. Small point, but I can see it quickly becoming a pain in the neck and make using the app less and less appealing. 3 stars only because I’m not sure how long I’ll be bothered to put up with that. **Developer response:** Hi! This change has now been made in the latest update. Do give it a try and let us know what you think :-) Happy cooking! ### 3/5 — Kind of misleading *2019-02-09* I was told about this app through a dairy-free allergy group I’m a part of, and was excited to try it out. It labels the recipes as being dairy free, soy free (although it says soya so I’m assuming it’s soy...) even vegan which makes things way easier to search through. The app itself is really basic, and you cannot apply food filters to narrow down the search options. So I would have given this app a 4. However - I started noticing that when you look at the ingredients of a recipe that’s labeled vegan, there’s egg listed. Normally, not an issue but my daughter was diagnosed with an egg allergy and was prescribed an epi pen so being vegan just makes it easier on her and us. The recipes look awesome and super easy, but if you’re going to label recipes as being vegan, they better be actually vegan or list a dairy or egg substitute. Kind of weird to me, and why I knocked off a star to 3. **Developer response:** Hi! We just wanted to update you to let you know that the recipe that was incorrectly marked as vegan has been corrected in the latest update. Please accept our apologies for that. We are working on being able to have multiple filters – it's not a highly-requested feature but is one that we can see would have a lot of value to some people :) With regards soya/soy – they're the same but we call it "soya" in the UK. Do update and let us know how you get on with the new version :) ### 4/5 — Great app *2021-03-17* I downloaded this app when my baby turned 6 months at the start of our weaning journey and it has been an absolute saviour! My little one is now 9 months and I have cooked numerous recipes 3-4 times per week for breakfast, lunch AND dinner, and it just keeps giving. Great variety, healthy and most importantly delicious, some dishes (pea&pesto fritters for example) have now become firm favourites on our table. Wouldn’t rate full 5 stars as some recipes do not quite work and need quantities adjusted, I’m a confident cook and use my own judgement so it’s not a huge issue but might be problematic for others. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Versatile recipes *2023-07-25, version 3.3.0* Used this app from weening stage to now, recipes are easily adaptable and we have used them to create meals for us as a family too. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!! *2023-06-24, version 3.2.0* Love this app! Use is all of the time! Used it a lot when my little one was first eating and now he is 3 I use it still! Such simple recipes which don’t break the bank and user friendly app!

Brilliant! Thank you is all I can say! Xx ### 5/5 — Amazing yummy recipes! *2022-02-11, version 3.2.0* I’ve been using this app almost daily ever since my son was 6 months old (he’s now nearly 2). The family dinners are wonderful, I can cook one meal that everyone will eat. This app regularly saves my sanity when I don’t know what to cook. I love it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-12-30, version 3.2.0* Excellent app, very helpful when feeding a 14 month old! ### 5/5 — good app *2021-10-19, version 3.2.0* so easy to use and great for ideas ### 5/5 — Loads of great recipe ideas *2021-09-21, version 3.2.0* Some very lovely and delicious meal ideas ideal for whole family.
