Hi there! So sorry your tracker seems to be off! Please try logging out of the app and then deleting/reinstalling it from your app store. If that doesn't do the trick, please reach out to our team at solidstarts.com/contact so we can help further 🤍
Very helpful guidance
Very helpful information and easy to understand guidance into the journey of solids with my daughter. I use this app very often at the moment and feel much more confident with solids. It gives me a lot of inspiration on what food to serve - and most important: how to prepare it.

Thanks for this Carole! So glad to have you here with us 🤍
I like the food guide
I like the food guide, but the app is way too expensive for what it is. I don’t need it for the full year, just the first few months of solids. I wish there was a month to month option for the subscription. Paying $130 up front for a year is too much. I’d rather pay $11 a month for the three or so months I need.

Hi Emily, we truly appreciate the feedback as we are continuously working to improve our app experience. We do want to let you know that there is a monthly subscription option when signing up! Though we do feel confident that our app is valuable for much longer than the first few months (including our guides for navigating toddler troubles and weaning when the time comes!), we totally hear you on this. If you feel you need any additional support, please don't hesitate to contact our team at solidstarts.com/contact - we're here to help. 🤍

The content is really good but the UX is confusing for iOS (not native UX). For example, when logging food, the pop-up is really uncomfortable and confusing for me since it is not a usual UX in iOS

Good resource, needs to figure out glitches
I really like that I can look up foods and how to prepare for all different stages of baby led weaning. Having each food as a common allergen or high iron is also great!
The app is glitchy and slow at times. It takes a while to search for and log foods, and sometimes I have to research or click and unclick a food a few times to get it to work.
Also, I try to read articles I am sent via the apps and any links within the app take me to the online browser and then I immediately get a pop up message to try the app. I wish everything was available and worked through the app; it’d be way less frustrating.
One final note, I wish I could skip through the allergen meals rather than just log it. Sometimes I’ve already had it and don’t want to log that recipe but I’d like to see the other options. I wish all the trying allergen info was available all the time and not as you progress. I didn’t get that info until I logged enough of the preset meals and by the time I did that I had already introduced most allergens.

glitches in the interface, free version is enough
There are glitches in the interface, and the paid version didn't offer a lot of recipes.

Hi Tina! So sorry you are experiencing glitches. Many users find that deleting the app and reinstalling it from your app store can really help, as that acts as a "reset" for the app. Also, if you have any issues finding the recipes in the app (there are over 400 recipes), our team would love to help if you reach out to us at solidstarts.com/contact 🤍

Hi Rebecca! Thrilled to hear you love the meals and recipes! Apologies for the crashing. Sometimes this happens when the app needs a reset or if you are not on the latest version. When you have a moment, please delete the app from your phone and then reinstall it from your app store. That should do the trick! If you continue to experience issues, our team is here to help at solidstarts.com/contact Thanks for being here. 🤍
Started solids
Great app to have as you start your solids journey. The suggestions on how to serve food specifically for each age group is really helpful.

Very helpful
Great informative app. I love the breakdown for each food by age and the videos they have of infants trying the food, so you know what to expect. It’s taken a lot of the stress away about trying new things!

Amazing, Elizabeth! Thanks so much for this! It's why we do what we do. 🤍
Great information but app needs technical improvement
The food database and information provided for each is great, but the app can be improved. It doesn't respond to Android phone navigation button and the navigation menu overlaps the bottom of the app window, making some buttons unreachable.

Reply from Solid Starts
Ah, so sorry for this, Oana! Our dev team is aware and we hope to have it fixed soon! Although the "home" button is overlaid on top of the "save" button of some Android devices on the food database pages, the good news is that you can still log foods via the Tracker tab by clicking the blue "+" button 🎉Thanks for your patience, and if you have any other questions, our team would be happy to help: solidstarts.com/contact
Good info on a really slow app
The information is great, but the app runs really slowly and it can take ages to find something.
Comparatively, the food logging function in Huckleberry (which I use free) is very fast.
Even though I have a paid subscription to Solid Starts, I find myself using free versions of other apps because they don't take an eternity to load. All the information in Solid Starts is helpful though and the serving suggestions are useful.
Edit/update:
Some of the recipes are very good too.
Before writing this, I had recently updated the app. It now no longer crashes, but it still takes ages to log food in the tracker. If a meal has more than six ingredients, I don't bother to log it because it takes me even more time to do that than to clean the high chair. Additionally, the "save" feature on new foods is placed under Android's "back" button, making this shortcut unavailable for Android phone users.

Hi there and so sorry the app has been lagging. This sometimes happens if you are on an older version of the app. Oftentimes a quick delete/reinstall helps immensely! When you have a moment, can you please give that a try? If that doesn't improve the performance, please reach out to us at solidstarts.com/contact so our team can help further. 🤍
Love this app
Love this app! Super helpful and makes starting solids so much less stressful. My son turned 1 yesterday and, looking back, I can definitely tell that it helped me lots. The only tiny downside is that a few foods aren’t in the list yet, but overall it’s amazing and I recommend it to every parent.

Hi Ashley! Appreciate this feedback. Our dev team is aware that on certain devices the "save" button is not optimally located and the fix is in the works!

Glitches every now and then
Often times the app doesn’t register the tracked foods so I have to close out the app and start over. Some of the recipes seem difficult to make (long time) but overall it’s okay because it helps give me ideas to feed my kid

Great guidelines
Used for my first baby 3 years ago and now using for my second and I am so grateful for a straightforward easy to understand guide to safely introduce solids. I was very nervous about choking and while still very cautious, following this app’s guidelines has helped ease my worries.

So helpful!
This app is so helpful for keeping me organized while I start food introductions with my baby. I love the suggestions for how to serve, the tips, the reminders about choking or other dangers etc. I love the videos that show you haw to prepare the food for baby or the videos of babies eating so you get a glimpse of "normal" baby engagement with food. I love the tracker and how you can add each food and notes and record reactions. There are some improvements I would make a long the lines of data exporting or more customization with tracker, but overall this is helpful and the information is comprehensive and backed by the most current data around food introductions.
