HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (710 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Bugs, things not working12%

36 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I'm constantly having to login, and there's a login bug where upon login the app just spins.
★★★★★ Basic function doesn't work.
Crashes and freezes9%

★★★★★ Would love to use the app as its intended but it literally ceases every other time I open it

★★★★★ Deleting your account won't work either.
★★★★★ I'm constantly having to login, and there's a login bug where upon login the app just spins.
Lost data, sync, backup6%

20 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I've been adding food over a period of months, and one day it logged me out and deleted all the progress.
★★★★★ Deleted the app literally right after I downloaded it, waste of time.
★★★★★ The app syncs poorly across devices.
Wrong or poor results6%

18 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Had to this app for awhile mainly using the “how to serve” but recently they've added yet ANOTHER paywall which deems this app completely useless.
★★★★★ What was wrong with an app that just offered helpful information for free?
★★★★★ Useless app without signing up for subscription.
Worse after an update5%

16 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I was logged out and the app stopped recognising my password so I reset it only to find that I'm continually prompted to 'try a different email or reset my password' I reset and tried it about a dozen times, made sure…
★★★★★ I've been waiting for an update but now with the update it's just the same.
★★★★★ My meal plan and grocery list haven't updated with the new plan in the last five plans.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I wish I had it for my first 5★, Oct 19, 2026
  • It would be nice if there was a bit more access on the free version. 2★, Oct 8, 2026
  • This app would be great if it wasn't $100. 1★, Sep 4, 2026
  • There is an infuriating bug where if you add a food (it doesn't seem to matter what food, it just happens sometimes) to a day on a meal plan, that food will be added to that day but it will delete every single other… 4★, Aug 30, 2026
  • I try to use the meal plan part, but sometimes, I just ended up serving a food, not a meal and wish there was a way to input that. 4★, Jun 17, 2026
  • Also, when introducing allergens, I wish it would count on the badges as soon as I introduced it, but it only counts when it gets served at the time it gets suggested as a meal, which is only once a week. 4★, Jun 17, 2026
  • I wish the tracking was more condensed, simplified, or at least offer more flexibility. 4★, Jun 17, 2026
  • I actually wish they would at least make the subscription monthly because by about 3 months into solids, I had absolutely no need of it. 3★, Jun 15, 2026

Useful, it helps37%

53 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ My kids have loved eating food and not just purees so this was a game changer!
★★★★★ It was helpful as we were starting solids, but stopped working and didn't guide me through introduction of all allergens from their own list.
★★★★★ Appreciate how much help it provides and clear instructions on how to cook and serve depending on age. Gave me confidence to not only feed my baby but teach her how to eat. It's worth it.

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

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
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.

★★★★★Oct 8, 2026
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.

★★★★★Oct 3, 2026
So bummed about the price

I love this app. I’m still giving it a high review because I do think the content is great. I’ve been bragging about this app to all of my patients over the years (I treat pregnant and postpartum women), telling them it was only $9 or $10 for a whole year. I used it religiously with my first son 3 years ago for the first 1.5 years, and I was fully prepared to make the purchase again for my new infant who’s just starting solids, but now it’s $100 for the whole year? That’s insane. That’s 10x more than what it used to be. I know a lot of the features are still there without paying so I’m just going to go with that, but I’m very disappointed and will no longer brag about how affordable this app is. I feel bad for misleading patients. I understand that businesses have to make money, but $100 feels predatory on scared parents feeding their babies for the first time.
