Ratings and reviews

Firstly it's glitchy. Secondly.... Should we really be encouraging children to track what they eat? In a world where eating disorder rates are climbing at an insane rate we should be encouraging that all foods are great and we can trust our bodies. Surely a correlation between rising body fat, the prevalence of dieting and rises in EDs makes it pretty obvious that tracking food is a bad idea.

Amazing App with lots of clear help and support for parents at each stage of a child's development.

This should not be replacing being able to phone a health visitor who knows you and your family. The information signposted are things anyone could find with a quick Google, the health visiting service should not be so over stretched and underfunded that this app is being pushed.
