Amazing

I have used this for 3 of 4 children and I love searching and finding how to serve foods. It’s so easy to just give them what we are eating for dinner when I know how to serve it. My kids have loved eating food and not just purees so this was a game changer! I wish I had it for my first

If you want to have a permanent account with your baby’s data, this is the app for you.

Don’t do the “free” trial

It says you can cancel anytime during the free trial but then they make impossible. Charged my card $109 for a year subscription and won’t answer their emails. I emailed them before my card was even charged and got only an AI response that someone would be in touch. That was a week ago now.

Subscription Pricing and Paywall

The app seems super helpful but everything is behind a subscription wall. It would be nice if there was a bit more access on the free version. Paying $20 a month seems a bit high. Most apps with subscriptions are still able to be used without or are very clear that you need to pay to use. This one doesn’t even allow basic tracking of what your baby has tried.
