*2025-08-22, version 2.1.43*

Cómo puedo cancelarla?? No tengo nada en contra solo que ya no la uso

### 2/5 — Honestly not great

*2025-02-19*

This is a pretty terrible app. I did the free trial, then paid $50 & my access has not upgraded since I paid the $50. The last three days the app goes completely white and I cannot do anything. 3/10 recommend. I reached out customer service a two weeks ago with no response.

**Developer response:** Hi there! We are sorry for the inconvenience. It sounds like there could have been some temporary technical issues going on at that time. Please contact us again if things did not get resolved. Thank you. - Little Lunches

### 3/5 — Faltan mejoras

*2024-11-11, version 2.1.32*

El botón de favoritos no sirve. Las recetas favoritas no se agregan. En el planificador no se puede programar que solo sean comidas para lunch de la escuela.

### 5/5 — The Best Meal Prep App!

*2024-03-20*

I’m a mother of three and used to buy take out food all the time. This app is actually saving us money, because instead of buying ready-made food which can get costly, I can make my own healthy meals at home without worrying about how it’s going to taste. LittleLunches makes cooking for families super easy and fun. It has lots of yummy recipes that even kids will like. The app shows you exactly what to do with easy instructions and helpful videos. What I like the most is how you are able to create your own menu to fit your family’s taste. Plus, you can order groceries right from the app and get them delivered to your door. It took me a little while to get the hang of it, but I realized that if you spend some time learning how to use all the cool stuff in the app, it will become your new favorite thing. Say goodbye to worrying about what to make for dinner with LittleLunches! My family absolutely loves all the savory recipes♥️

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Little Lunches has helped your family save money and enjoy healthier meals at home.

### 5/5 — Súper recomendada!!!

*2024-03-20, version 2.1.30*

Supero mis expectativas. Después de probar varias Apps sin duda esta ha sido un antes y un después, me ha ayudado tanto con mis hijos, que ya han comenzado a comer alimentos que antes ni en mis sueños probarían, las recetas son súper fáciles de hacer, deliciosas y adaptadas a los gustos de mi familia, cada semana tengo un menú diferente con su lista de compras. Gracias por hacerme la vida fácil❤️

### 5/5 — Life changer !

*2024-03-20*

Since we started our subscription, my life has gotten more accessible when it comes to meal prep! The kids are exposed to new food, and I love how well-balanced each meal is! 

I highly recommend getting the subscription!

**Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear that Little Lunches has simplified meal prep for your family and introduced new foods to your kids. Thank you for recommending us!

### 5/5 — Fav app

*2024-03-20*

This app is so easy for meal prepping. I have to forget completely of meal planning. Love the fact it has all the nutritional value needed for the kiddos.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you find Little Lunches easy to use and helpful for meal prepping. Happy cooking!

### 5/5 — La app más usada de mi celular

*2024-03-20, version 2.1.30*

Gracias a Little Lunches mi familia y mis hijas comemos las recetas más ricas, sanas y fáciles de hacer. Y todo el tiempo suben nuevas cosas!

### 3/5 — subscription

*2024-03-17*

it’s so frustrating how apps basically force you into purchasing the subscription. i don’t get why every little thing needs a subscription now. this is a good app, but i think it’s wild you can only view a FEW recipes a WEEK, unless you buy it. the price to subscribe is absurd as well. i’m a single mom, i can’t afford to drop 50 bucks on a food app. ugh. just needed food ideas for my baby.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and understand your frustration. Our aim is to provide a balance between offering valuable content for free and sustaining the development and maintenance of our app through subscriptions.



While we offer a limited number of free recipes each week, we understand that this may not meet everyone's needs. We're constantly reviewing our offerings to ensure they align with the needs of our users, including those with budgetary constraints.


As a single mom, we understand the importance of budgeting, and we're exploring options to make our premium features more accessible to all users. In the meantime, we're here to support you with food ideas for your baby and encourage you to reach out if you need assistance or have any questions.


Thank you for being a part of our community, and we hope to continue providing value to you through our app and social media.

### 5/5 — Ms

*2024-02-05, version 2.1.25*

My daughter love this

### 2/5 — Hardly Any New Recipes

*2023-11-10*

The recipes on there are all just repeats of similar things.  There doesn’t seem to be new recipes added regularly, and most recipes are more suited to an adult palette vs. a toddlers.  My toddler has eaten maybe two recipes from this after trying dozens.  Disappointed I paid for the full year.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed :) Please add user recipe feature

*2023-08-11*

Love this app! The meals are tasty, health-conscious, and fast to make. Love that it generates a grocery list based on the meals I want. 

Just one suggestion, could you please add a way for users to save their own recipes to the app and include them in their meal plan? Thanks! 😊

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and valuable feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the app's tasty, health-conscious, and quick-to-make meals. It's fantastic to know that the generated grocery lists have been helpful for you too.


Regarding your suggestion, we're excited to let you know that we do have a solution for saving your own recipes within the app. You can actually utilize the "Create Recipe" feature located on the Favorite page (top right corner). This way, you can seamlessly include your personal recipes in your meal plans and make your culinary experience even more tailored to your preferences. When you create a recipe, you'll automatically get nutrition facts and allergy info as part of the added recipe.



We truly appreciate your input, and we're committed to continuously enhancing your experience with the app. If you have any more suggestions or questions, please feel free to reach out. Happy cooking! 😊🍽️

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-08-08*

The app has been very disappointing lately. It often doesn’t work at all or becomes completely unresponsive. Even something as simple as saving a recipe to Favorites is difficult and doesn’t always work properly.

There also aren’t many new recipes being added, so the content feels limited and repetitive. For the price of the subscription, I expected a much smoother app experience, more frequent recipe updates, and better features. Unfortunately, I don’t feel the subscription is worth the price right now. I hope the developers can improve the app and add more new content.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re sorry the recent experience hasn’t met your expectations. We’ve just released a major update to Little Lunches with significant improvements to performance and the overall app experience, and we’d really appreciate you giving the latest version a try.

We also have several new recipes coming soon and will continue expanding our recipe library. If you experience any issues after updating, please contact us at support@littlelunches.com so we can help directly. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope the new version provides a much better experience. 💛

### 1/5 — Zero Customer Support

*2026-01-13, version 2.1.46*

Good luck getting a hold of any support. My wife can’t login into my account, and there is zero way to get it fixed. Buyer beware

### 1/5 — Limited options

*2025-12-14*

I really don’t like the app. It has options that are not very realistic for average kids. Also got a foul taste in my mouth because I tried to cancel day of the trial and it didn’t go through and they kept my money after emailing them. The interface is not very user friendly and you can’t customize as easily as other apps allow you to. Don’t recommend overall.

**Developer response:** Hi there — thank you for sharing your feedback. We’d like to clarify a few points for accuracy and transparency.

Our meal plans are designed by pediatric dietitians and chefs and are used by hundreds of thousands of families, including many with picky or “average” eaters. That said, preferences vary, and we understand the app may not be the right fit for every family.

Regarding billing: all subscriptions are managed directly by Apple, including cancellations and refunds. If a trial is not canceled at least 24 hours before it ends, Apple automatically converts it to a paid subscription. We do not have the ability to cancel or refund subscriptions on Apple’s behalf, but our support team always provides guidance on how to request a refund directly from Apple when asked.

We’re sorry the interface didn’t meet your expectations. Customization is an area we continue to improve, and feedback like this helps inform future updates.

If you’d like help reviewing your subscription status or exploring settings that better fit your child’s preferences, our support team is always happy to assist.
Best,
Little Lunches

### 1/5 — Recetas que puedes encontrar en la web

*2024-06-14, version 2.1.30*

En general no me gustó la aplicación, solo apliqué 3 recetas, puedo encontrar algunas mejores y más ricas en tiktok o en la web! Nada del otro mundo!

### 1/5 — not allergy friendly

*2024-05-02, version 2.1.30*

Asks for dietary restrictions and then gives meal suggestions with those ingredients in the meals - why bother asking?

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service

*2024-04-05, version 2.1.30*

Terrible customer service

### 1/5 — App failed

*2024-03-18, version 2.1.30*

I can’t even select my city. App freezes on free trail…

### 1/5 — Trash

*2022-12-14, version 2.0.4*

Can’t even use it… app freezes on the start free trial screen

### 1/5 — Typical american. 600+ kcal per meal.

*2022-08-17, version 1.9.5*

This is a fast way to be the most american ever. This is your app if you want to be morbidly obese real quick. 600+ kcal per meal. 
An average mom with a deskjob needs about 1500 kcal a day. Max. With this app you would consume 1/3 over every day.

### 2/5 — Forces you to start free trial

*2026-03-29*

Makes you enter whole bunch of things and then shows a paywall. I don’t want even to start free trial until I have seen anything that makes me think it could be useful for me.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We completely understand. We’ve since updated the experience so you can now preview your personalized meal plan before deciding whether to start a free trial. We’d love for you to give Little Lunches another try and see what’s new. 💛

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2026-02-25*

I downloaded Little Lunches because I was tired of standing in front of the fridge every afternoon with zero ideas. I didn’t expect much, but it’s actually helped a lot.

The meals feel realistic not complicated, not fancy, just normal food that kids will eat. I like that it doesn’t push perfection or make you feel like you’re failing if your kid is picky. It just gives you doable options and takes some of the mental load off.

I’ve used other meal planning apps before and this is the first one that actually feels made for families with real schedules and real kids.

If feeding your kids stresses you out even a little, this app makes it easier.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this! 💛 Making mealtimes feel easier and taking some of that daily mental load off is exactly why we created Little Lunches. We’re so happy to hear that the meals feel realistic and work for your family and your schedule. Thank you for being part of the Little Lunches community! 😊

I’m so happy to have this app - it’s my go-to for recipe ideas and weekly meals. I’ve been really impressed with the database of recipes they have on there. My children and I have different dietary restrictions and preferences and I’ve been so happy to find nutritious (and easy) recipes for all of us. 
It’s been a relief to have this at my fingertips. Sometimes I use it for the full meal plan and sometimes for one-off recipes. Love it and can’t recommend it enough!

*2024-03-20*

Saw this app on social media and gave it a try for our family 

It was pretty easy to get started with it. We decided to start our trial to check it out and we’re pleasantly surprised

Lots of good nutritious recipes and the app has made planning a breeze

Overall would say it’s worth it. I know this is a lesser known app but I think it should be a lot more popular

**Developer response:** Thank you for giving Little Lunches a try! We're glad you found the app helpful and hope it continues to make meal planning a breeze.

### 5/5 — Don’t know what i would without you

*2024-03-20*
