Incredibly expensive for an app that I use basically only to track food my baby ate. All the rest (instructions, recepies, etc.) can easily be found online for free. And it's even doing this basic task poorly. It keeps messing up the screen, it's no longer showing the number of things tried... Horrible experience, all together. Oh, and it also updated to paid version without any previous notice! No, if you haven't reached into my pocket yourselves, I wouldn't have bough it.

Good while it lasted, but after a few months it started telling me I only have a few free food searches left. I didn't know when I downloaded the app that it would only allow so many free searches. The information on this app was very useful, but I am not able to spend that much on an app subscription. I understand apps need to earn money somehow, but it's frustrating looking for basic guidance for how to feed my child and everywhere I look just being another money grab on well-meaning parents.

Without warning have started charging for the foods library. Very little point in downloading unless you're willing to pay the subscription fee. For me, I only started weaning 5 days ago and don't know whether this app is worth the fee as there are hardly any free features. I'm going to delete the app and switch to the BLW one.
