Shifting to toddler stuff, and noticed omg, there are links in the guides that tell me about additional courses that help with picky eater etc, each of those are separate courses and you get taken to your browser to pay additional hundreds of dollars for those separate courses not included this subscription. This is ridiculous. I highly regret paying for this app and no I don't want to pay additional for those money grab courses, I might as well pay a professional for help if I have issues.

Hi Sarah, appreciate your feedback regarding the foods and will pass it along to our database team! The app contains all of our starting solids guides/videos and we are in the process of migrating our toddler/picky content over. Feel free to reach out to our team at solidstarts.com/contact at any time with any further questions or feedback. šŸ¤

it's a great app but: 1) it's very annoying that the grocery list auto populates with the wrong ingredient, and I didn't notice until I went to cook the meal that I didn't have the right ingredients. there seems to be no feedback mechanism to notify the people who run the app about mistakes like that. 2) there's also no way to put notes in next to recipes, like if you want or need to modify it and want to remind yourself what you did for next time 3) the app forces my music app to pause

Love the app and all its functions. Happily paid for the full access a couple years ago when it was $13 for a full year, but now it's 10x more expensive. Not enough has changed in the app to justify spending over $130 for a year. Very disappointed the price has gone up so much unnecessarily. Would've been happy to pay for another year for my next child.

Hi Rachel! Totally hear you that the price may feel like a big commitment, but it's reflective of the major updates we have made since you last used the app. We have now added all of our starting solids guides and videos, a professionally developed introduction to foods and allergens, 400+ recipes, expert-written articles & more. Hope this helps!šŸ¤
