Ratings and reviews

We love this app - it has been THE most valuable resource for us on our baby-led weaning journey. I would give it 5 stars, but I do find myself frustrated by the sort feature in the foods database. I keep trying to sort foods alphabetically, but it only works on a few entries and after I scroll once or twice, the rest are not in order at all. I know it's a nitpick, but would love to figure that part out. Otherwise perfect!

Clunky and slow, but useful and informative. It takes way too long to navigate between screens which often causes glitches or even crashing. My other apps work fine/quickly so it's not me. It takes way too long to go through and add each ingredient from a meal, but it's important to keep track for my son's allergies. It takes too much time out of our day and away from him. I'd almost rather write it down on paper with a pencil. Useful as a food encyclopedia though

The information in the app is good, but the user interface leaves a lot to be desired. It's always logging me out, it's slow and it takes too many taps to actually log food. I like that it has a wide range of food, especially from different countries and cultures, but the "featured food" is kind of absurd-- the last 2 have been black truffle and lobster. Who is feeding their baby that??
