I have downloaded 3 different apps like this and this is by far my favorite. The starting meal plan at 6m was so simple and easy to follow. The recipes are also great! ### 5/5 — Best app for starting solids! *2026-01-12, version 1.0.170* I have paid for a few different apps for support through starting solids, however, this app has everything you could possibly need. Currently weaning my second child, and I've continued to pay for this app since my first daughter (now 3) because it just has everything, if there is something you would like to know you can even send them a message and they are very helpful! Would recommend to anyone! ### 5/5 — Recipes *2026-01-11, version 1.0.170* Loved the recipes really helped me map out the day and meal prep!!! ### 5/5 — Best evidence based app for parents *2025-11-24, version 1.0.167* I have no words to explain how amazing this app is. It’s hands-down the most comprehensive, current nutrition app out there, with an incredible team of dietitians behind it. I just wish more people had access to all the info it offers!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-10-21* Love it! Great design, easy to use, and most importantly, reliable sources, something many other apps lack. Greetings from Germany ☺️ **Developer response:** Your recognition motivates us to keep doing our best! Thank you so much for your review and trust. The app's content is developed with great care by our specialists to always offer the best. ### 5/5 — The most helpful app *2025-10-21, version 1.0.166* As a first time mom, I was lost until I came across this app and their instagram account. I learned sooo much from them and my child is now 3 and thriving. I used every method and they are so responsive too when you message them for help! I cannot recommend this app enough to any new parent! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-10-20, version 1.0.166* Such a convenient resource! Used it for my first and now using it for my second child. Love the recipes, the meal plans, and checklists! ### 5/5 — chinese！ *2025-10-09* can not open the app！ **Developer response:** Please contact us on our support email hi@kidsmealsapp.com! ### 5/5 — Great for 1st Kid *2025-09-22, version 1.0.164* The free part of this app has lots of helpful tips on how to serve food. I got the subscription and the meal plans are pretty good. We especially love the breakfast and snack ideas. Though I have noticed the meal plans can be repetitive. The biggest problem with this app is that there is no support for a second child. We have 2 under 2 and I would like to start using the meal plans when our youngest turns 6 months but there is no way to add her to the app besides manually deleting all the notes I took for my first child. ### 5/5 — So helpful *2025-09-08, version 1.0.164* This app was amazing for when my baby started eating solids and even now at 17 months its great to give me ideas, new recipes and a reminder to include a variety of foods. So great! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-09-08, version 1.0.164* As a first time mom, I was so nervous about introducing solids, but knew I wanted to take the BLW approach of baby self feeding. The app’s different ways of serving food based on age was super helpful. My daughter is now 2.5 and we constantly get compliments about how well she eats. Now on to baby #2’s BLW journey and I’m very confident but still checking the app for refreshers. ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-09-08, version 1.0.164* I follow BLW on Instagram and the app has been so helpful with recipes and meal plans for each week. Makes life so much easier when trying to meal plan for baby. Love that I can look up a specific food item or a full recipe. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — A lifesaver for starting solids! *2025-09-08, version 1.0.164* This app has saved my life with starting solids, especially with how to handle the top allergy foods. And it’s so much more affordable than some of the other apps out there. The recipes are soooo good-not just for babies-and the Instagram account has been clutch! ### 5/5 — Supporting team has respond and solved my issues *2025-08-07, version 1.0.163* The supporting team has responded and solved my issues to share it with my IPAD. Love the receipt. ### 5/5 — Love and easy to use! *2025-06-09, version 1.0.163* I discovered this app when my son was little and now I plan to use it for my new baby girl! I love how easy it is and they have such great ideas and what to feed when! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2025-03-25, version 1.0.162* I really love all the great recipes the app has to offer. I also love the meal plans according to each month for your baby. It really has helped me with our BLW journey. ### 3/5 — 为什么我打不开 *2025-03-10* 这个需要越狱吗？打不开怎么回事 **Developer response:** Can you please uninstall and reinstall the app? If the problem persists, please contact us via email hi@kidsmealsapp.com. 😘 ### 5/5 — Very useful and great app *2025-02-25, version 1.0.162* Used this for BLW when my LO was growing up and has been amazing. Quick and nutritious recipes with great filters to choose from. Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Easy to use and realistic *2025-02-25, version 1.0.162* Love everything about this app, the information is solid, the recipes are realistic and doable, and the community on IG is like a built in support network you didn’t know you needed. So many meal plans, meal ideas, based on baby’s age and dietary preferences. I’m still constantly checking the app for meal ideas for my 1.5 and 4 year old. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid app but only access for one device/parent *2026-02-20, version 1.0.172* Kind of sad that with todays technology, no one designing this app had even thought to implement a way that you can sync the information across 2 devices. My wife paid for this app, and I am unable to access info so that we can mark things off together. Even tried signing in with her account on my phone, and it doesn’t work. You do realize most families have 2 parents, right? Hopefully this gets fixed, but I doubt it as this is already a glaring oversight in app development, I doubt there is enough care to fix it properly. ### 1/5 — 動かない *2025-01-02* インストールしても動かない **Developer response:** Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the app? Please send us an email to hi@kidsmealsapp.com in English, so we can help you. ### 1/5 — First foods shouldn’t be egg roll *2024-04-29, version 1.0.145* Hi there, I had followed through the BLW guidelines and introduced an egg roll to my daughter at 6 months as her second food. This is very dangerous advice to give. My daughter ended up with egg allergy. The biggest issue here and suggestion from doctor is that, you should always introduce egg yolk and egg white separately for babies and not mixing up both since the chance of allergy is high. Please alter you recipes accordingly. It’s very scary for a first time mom… ### 1/5 — Paid membership is unusable *2024-03-21, version 1.0.145* The information is good but the app keeps logging me out and multiple times a day I need to restore purchase. ### 1/5 — SUPER LOADING *2024-01-10, version 1.0.145* After I subscribed for a YEAR the app started keep loading and loading. I've redownloaded and nothing's change. I never write any review before but I HATE THIS APP. ### 1/5 — Recently not working *2023-11-09, version 1.0.140* It was amazing up until all I saw was a black white page I can't even contact support bc all I see is a white page 😩 ### 1/5 — App won’t even open! *2023-08-15, version 1.0.134* I have an IPhone 14 Pro Max and after reading all the great reviews I was excited to try this app for my son. But the app will not even open for me to try to use the app. Highly Disappointed! ### 1/5 — Most receipts contain baking soda which is not good for baby *2023-03-27, version 1.0.127* Most receipts contain baking soda which is not good for baby.also when I change to iPhone 14, the app could not open,waste my subscription. ### 1/5 — Not working. *2023-02-01* Can the developers solve the issue where is the app IS NOT EVEN OPENING!!!! **Developer response:** Hi! We are sorry you are experiencing this. It could be because of a few reasons including wifi connection, if your phone has the latest updates or if the app has been updated. A quick tip is to refresh the app and try again. All our issues with this have been resolved and if you continue to have opening issues please send us a DM on @blwmealsapp IG to troubleshoot further. ### 1/5 — Nothing is free! *2022-10-15, version 1.0.118* Everything is behind a pay wall! Like seriously everything. Just stick to the IG pages and all the free info available online ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A must-have for parents *2026-08-21, version 1.0.173* Super helpful for all your solids questions and also those days when you literally cannot come up with a single useful idea of what to feed your baby! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-08-20, version 1.0.173* Love the free version, so great we used it for more than one kid! ### 5/5 — Easy & stress free meals! *2026-08-20, version 1.0.173* User friendly app that makes it easy to find simple and healthy meal options. A stress reliever for sure!!! ### 5/5 — Dietitian approved! *2026-08-20, version 1.0.173* 5⭐️!!! As a dietitian, I love how all the information on here is backed by science! This app gave me confidence in introducing allergen foods to my little one. I also loved all the simple (but nourishing) recipes and other helpful guides they have available on the app. Couldn’t recommend this enough! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2026-08-07, version 1.0.173* This app has been my saving grace!! I always recommend it to my mom friends! So worth the annual fee and it’s 10x better than start solids. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-04-27, version 1.0.173* So much better than other apps, it’s only $5 a month for the upgrade, unlike other apps that I’ve seen at $20 a month! It has so many suggestions which actually helps me plan out my groceries for the week for these meals. I love that I can put my own notes too. ### 5/5 — Very informative & budget friendly *2026-02-04, version 1.0.172* It shows ALL ways to serve foods & has very clear photo & video instruction. Very affordable yearly subscription for parents on leave from work, it is immensely appreciated. ### 5/5 — Highly Recommend! *2026-01-29, version 1.0.172* I’ve been using this app for 2 months with my little one and it has been so incredibly helpful!! Having all the information in one spot is convenient and I can make food for him with confidence. ### 5/5 — Best app for grandparents *2026-01-16, version 1.0.172* I use this app when taking care of the grandchildren! Especially when it comes to introducing new meals instead of the normal macaroni and cheese they want. Awesome, keep it up. ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2026-01-16, version 1.0.172* I’ve loved using this app - it just takes the mental load off on what I should serve when and how. They provide so many easy recipes and have videos on how to prepare foods. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
