Didn’t Save Progress
I’ve been adding food over a period of months, and one day it logged me out and deleted all the progress. I had already paid for a premium subscription. Very frustrating.
Terrible app
Basic function doesn’t work. I tried to log food but after selecting a date it takes me to another calendar thats broken. Very frustrating.
Got worse
I’ve used the free version for years, rly helps with little babies. They just changed it and put 95% of the info /pictures behind a paywall. Really sucks but at least other sites are free.

Has a subscription. Not worth it
PLEASE FIX THE CONSTANT SIGN OUT ISSUES
This app is great when it’s actually functioning, but I am constantly getting signed out, putting the password in directly from Apple’s password manager, and then being told I don’t have an account. Also, when attempting to troubleshoot this issue repeatedly, the only way to back out of the system that tries to force you into making a new account is to completed delete the app and redownload so you can try again with a different combo. Extremely mad that we paid for this app and it has so many issues.

I don’t think it’s worth it
I found the subscription costs high considering that this same information can be found elsewhere, such as library books and videos.
Paid for app, but keeps asking for subscription
Constantly getting signed out, only to be asked to create new account - so losing all saved foods. I paid for the annual subscription, but keeps asking me to pay to subscribe and locked out of paid features. Help!
Starting real food is scary but solids starts gave me the confidence I needed!
I tell everyone to get this app when thinking about starting solids. It’s easy to use, easy to navigate and
helps you confidence as a first time mom so much.
helps you confidence as a first time mom so much.
Obsessed!!
I love this app so much, it has really helped me overcome my own fears of starting solids. I have learnt a lot about good foods for my children 🤍🥰😍
Non Functioning
I paid the subscription to help me with my baby’s food but it’s just non functioning. Every time I type the ingredients it just completely blanks out and leaves the app. So i pretty much wasted my money. It could be useful for the way to safely serve food for their age but that’s the free option. So i definitely don’t recommend subscribing to it.

Way to expensive
Super annoyed I gave my email and everything THEN it decided to tell me I need to either pay 20 a month or $100 for the app. That’s insane and misleading. Deleted the app literally right after I downloaded it, waste of time.
Not intuitive
The app is nice looking but food options are not extensive and app is not intuitive. My baby tried a bunch of foods already and there is not an easily found way to mark a bunch as tried, you have to find and go i to each food to mark it off as tried. If there is an option to do this its not easily found.

Expensive
Used this app three years ago for $2.99 a month. Is now either $100 for a year or $20 a month. Ridiculous.
Best Resource!
As a third time mom I’m still constantly checking solid starts to make sure I’m preparing food in the correct way. It’s my go-to and most trusted resource!
Subscription Required
Useless app without signing up for subscription. I couldn’t find any free features.
Disappointed in the changes
I happened upon Solid Starts five years ago when I learned about baby led weaning and it was the best thing!! The app and all the videos on instagram helped me navigate the process of feeding my little one and I raved about it to my friends. Fast forward to 2026 and I’m starting my new baby’s feeding journey and I’m incredibly disappointed by how little content is available without a subscription. The videos and recipes that were formerly free are now not available without a subscription.

Amazing
Such a helpful app, lots of great features and information.
Minor complaints
I love the suggestions to serve by age, but I feel that they make it difficult to record the allergens (badges) and it is constantly logging me out. Would appreciate them to fix these bugs.
I was worried about picky eating, instead my baby tried 200 foods.
I really don’t know what I would have done without solid starts. There are numerous significant cases of picky eating (perhaps ARFID) in my family, and I wanted to set my son up with the best possible chance of a healthy relationship with food. In spite of navigating food allergies, my son had ended up being a lover of a vast array of foods, and perhaps more importantly, a lover of eating with family. One of the biggest surprises I had using this app was how much the developmentally on-point serving suggestions seemed to enhance my baby’s interest in each food. Could he have eaten things served in different sizes than the recommendations? Of course, but he was actually more likely to eat the foods when they were served as recommended for his age in the app. I could not be more impressed with an app. It’s a gem.

Disappointed
I'm so disappointed regarding the cost. I used this daily with my first child to ease anxiety around serving food. I physically cannot afford now I'm maternity.
