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.

Absolutely baffling that an app charging, not only an exorbitant $100, but annually, doesn't have basic features. It will often say "start with cooked ____" but completely skip over *how* to cook that thing to begin with. Also, the recipes won't let you filter out allergens so when looking for something to make, you have to look at each individual recipe to see if it's even possible. These are just two of my biggest issues. The app is pretty but it's only makeup on a pig.

Hi Wolfgang, appreciate your feedback. The app does have an allergen filtering option for the recipes (under "Sort & Filters"). If you reach out to our team at this link, we'd be happy to help you best utilize the app's features. https://solidstarts.com/contact/

Massively disappointed, I was using the app for free to test it out, thought I'd subscribe to unlock more features and the app just "stopped working" it doesn't load up and just closes itself. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it via the Play Store so I know it's the updated version but same issue. I cancelled my subscription within a few minutes. Should have stuck to the free version. But I can't even do that now.
