The first thing I want to say is that the content of the app is great! There is so much useful information on there that has helped me. I have rated this app 3* because this one of the worst apps I have used, especially after paying a hefty fee to get its full features. The app is extremely slow, it takes me 10 min+ just to track my LO's food diary (a paid for feature), everything takes forever to load, the food tracker doesn't automatically update. I regret paying for the additional features.

Oh dear, so sorry to that the app has been giving you trouble, Ruoxing! It sounds like the app could use a simple reset. Please try logging out, deleting the app from your phone and reinstalling it from the Play Store. If that doesn't work, reach out to our team at solidstarts.com/contact so we can help further 🤍

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.

Its a good lookup app. Tracker becomes cumbersome if you make other meals than what's in the app, you have to log each food separately. I would wish I could create my own recipes so I could add it like existing recipes to a day. IlNot brign able to has made the tracker completely useless to me at times, as I cant be bothered, now I'm more confident and want to serve what we're eating rather than what's in the app every day. That being said I love the database, and look up food items regularly.
