You have to pay for everything.

Can you say price gauge

I’m so confused. I loved this app for my first child and when it was $9.99/year. I understand inflation, but $99.99/year!?!?! Absolutely not. That’s awful for mothers just trying to learn how to best feed their babies.

£20 a month

Can’t do anything on the app unless you pay £20 a month, waste of time!

Way overpriced for what you get

I never write reviews, but today when again I couldn’t find a basic food in their database I felt forced to write this review! This app charges 100!!! $ a year and doesn’t have a database of many many foods, forcing me to google most of the foods I feed my daughter anyways, so I might as well not have the app altogether. Additionally it does not let you create your own meals for the baby so you can add those easily to the log. I think a huge part of BLW is that babies eat at the family table and get introduced to “adult” foods in a save manner, but good luck finding those in the app… the only reason I give 2 stars over 1 is that their customer service is very nice and helpful

Not a good free all

Everything is mostly paid guidance. Very little info added on free version. Felt misguided.

Response from developer

Hi there! Wanted to clarify that our popular First Foods Database is free. When the paywall opens, you can simply click the “x” and navigate to the “Foods” tab to access the free database. Here you can find nutrition, choking, allergen, and how to prep info for 500+ foods. Always happy to hear more at solidstarts.com/contact 🤍

Don’t waste your time

This app SUCKS. I’m constantly having to login, and there’s a login bug where upon login the app just spins. Have to force close and open again to use the app. Also, there’s no way to print a recipe. I mean, who would want to print a recipe when they could get their phone dirty while cooking? Absolutely not worth $100 a year.

Breastfeeding moms beware

I’ve used this app for both of my kids. I love the serving recommendations for serving different types of food to babies as they grow!!! However, I have noticed that they write about breastfeeding and how frequently babies nurse with a negative tone in their articles. They seem to really encourage weaning by 12mo even though it’s recommended to breastfeed for at least 2 years. I think they need to use more neutral language around how often babies are nursing.

Love the app

The best app possible. My girl is 2 years and 10 months now. But thanks to this app she is a experienced eater, because I offered her food the size and shapes the app adviced me when she was a baby. Depends on the child but my child has never chocked trying to eat.

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.

Review

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.

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.
