It's impossible to navigate the app reliably. I'd like to get some suggestions on the next steps for a particular plan. The app coerces me to get all foods from that one section. Trying to meal pla... See more

Not as intuitive to use as I’d hope
Not as intuitive to use as I’d hope. The 10 recipe cards prior to trying an allergen can’t be swapped out for other recipes or foods so I’ve had to venture out on my own. Tracking foods/meals and typing out reactions/details is finicky, took a while to figure out how to edit them. Had higher hopes for such an expensive app.

Appreciate this feedback, Stephanie. We are continuously having internal discussions on improving the app experience for our users, and we really value having our community weigh in. If you have a moment, we would love to hear some more details about your experience/ideas for improvement at solidstarts.com/contact Thanks for being here with us 🤍
Great app, UX needs improvement
Love their database: it’s chock full of foods! Their recipes are also great, as long as they’re simple enough to do before my LO starts screaming. I wish their recipes that popped up didn’t reference “grab pancake from fridge” & say it was a 5 minute meal. If it’s in the front/home cards, I definitely don’t have the specific pancake pre-made. Oftentimes, the original recipe wasn’t presented to me before.
I would seriously fix the lag time when pulling up foods or logging foods. It’s SO maddening.

Hi Alyssa! Thrilled to hear you love the database! Appreciate the feedback on recipes - we've taken this back to our team! Apologies for the lag time - oftentimes this happens when users are not on the most current version of the app. When you have a moment, please try deleting the app from your phone and reinstalling it from your app store. Hopefully that will do the trick! If we can help in any other way, please let us know at solidstarts.com/contact 🤍
Highly recommend!
This app has helped me start solids with my little guy with more confidence and joy than I would’ve imagined. I referenced the app all the time when I was as wanting to try a new food. The guides were extremely helpful for common questions and topics I needed to learn more about.

Aw, love hearing this, Lauren! Thank you so much! 🤍
Love the app
Love the app, easy to use, and easy to understand.
However, I have the app in Spanish and certain foods aren’t translated - have to search for them in English. Others are missing. I’m guessing this might be the case for other languages too. Nevertheless I’d 100% recommend the app!

Glad you love the app, Isabel! Thanks for this feedback - our small team is doing its best to translate all foods into Spanish as resources allow, but it's a work in progress! We appreciate your patience as we work to continuously improve the app. 🤍
WONDERFUL TOOL
Honestly only taking a star away because the price for a membership is WAY too much for the demographic they are trying to help. I love this app and the free version works great and I am so glad I have access to look up a food and how to serve it at an age appropriate size! I would like the membership but $19.99 a month? Girl I need to buy diapers and wipes and formula and toys and clothes BYE

Hi Ceara! So happy to hear you love the app and find it helpful! Sincerely appreciate your feedback regarding price - we've taken this back to our team! We truly value our community's input and are grateful for your support 🤍
LookLook, I downloaded your app, it was said to be free. But why do you have to pay to add to it?

Hi there, so sorry for any confusion! You do not need to pay to download the app, and we're happy to share that the First Foods Database, which allows you to see nutrition, choking, allergen and how to prep info for 400+ foods, is free! When the paywall opens, you can simply click the “x” and navigate to the “Foods” tab to access the free database. We also offer an optional paid version (access to guided introduction of foods/allergens, 300+ recipes, access to guides/video courses, food tracking, etc.) for users who would like more guidance and support than offered by the free database alone. Hope this helps clarify! You can always reach our team at solidstarts.com/contact with any other questions. 🤍
Excellent app for new moms going through the weaning process
When I didn’t know how or where to start with weaning, the app gave me helpful ideas. Especially the serving recommendations were really helpful initially. I also regularly prepare some of the meals/recipes from the app. The tracker is excellent to keep track of whatever it is you need/want to: eg what kind of protein the baby has eaten, which allergens how many times etc.

Yay! So delighted to hear how much the app has helped, Judit! Appreciate your support and community. 🤍
There's A Lot Behind Paywalls
I really like it for looking foods up, but I feel like there's a lot more behind paywalls than when I used the app for my first baby two years ago.

Reply from Solid Starts
Hi Chelsea! Our app has definitely evolved in a lot of big ways since you last used it two years ago 😉 At that time, we only offered food tracking, but the paid subscription now includes major updates in features and functionality, including all of our starting solids guides and videos, a professionally developed introduction to foods and allergens, 400+ recipes, enhanced food and allergen tracking, expert-written articles, tips & tricks from our pros and more. Hope this helps clarify! Always happy to hear from you at solidstarts.com/contact if you have any other questions!
