you have to buy membership
When I first got this app in 2023 it featured many free recipes with some that required a subscription to access. Now they have paywalled more than 3/4 of the app. It's not enough that I bought their book. As usual, it comes down to how much money can they squeeze out of the young mother who is just trying to make healthy choices for her babies.
Terrible. Everytime I try to get into the app it gets stuck. I have already reiniciated my phone and still it does not start. The App is very slow.
Super buggy. I used this 3 years ago with my first baby and was excited to use it again. Now that I've paid for premium, I literally can't use this app. All it moves forward to is the option to put is baby has tried the food, not how to prepare it or recipes. Do not pay for this
Installed but it is stuck on the loading page
Am not even able to use the app, most buttons don't redirect and when I do click on something that "works" it freezes🙈🙈🙈
Installed but cannot use because it freezes and crashes constantly.
Doesn't work
Cannot open the app. I get this error: Application Error The connection to the server was unsuccessful.
Within 5 minutes of installing, I had to uninstall it. Would either instantly freeze or wouldn't let me scroll more than a tad every 8 or so seconds. Was looking forward to this app but is just unusable
The App crashed a lot, it's annoying.
Android app is total garbage, won't allow me to scroll, or select items reliably. Apple version works, but it's clear the Android one is a poor port.
App is glitchy. I cant navigate the app as it force closes after not being responsive.
I loved this app! Such a great layout and all the information is great... well, the stuff I was able to read... within the first 5 minutes of using the app froze.. so I closed it, reopened it, and it was slow and lagged and then closed itself. It's so frustrating when desperately trying to find a good app that works.. thought I found one, but apparently not.
The app doesn't seem to work for me anymore. I can't scroll and it's hit and miss if what I tap loads. I used to love this app!! Xx
Unusable. Wanted to use because I love the recipes online but you can't scroll or click on anything.
You can't subscribe this app. Even if you wanna pay It doesn't work.
Cannot click on anything
First time using it, just freezes, can't open anything and end up having to force close it. I wanted to make use of the sale price for mothers day but the app is literally unusable so defs won't be paying money for it!
App keeps freezing and crashing. I'll have to cancel my subscription because can't really check anything in the app. Such a shame as I was enjoying the app
No worth paying for every recipie, some should be free...
This used to be a really great app, but for months now it has been unusable. I have emailed them and tried their work arounds, but nothing works. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I've selected yes to getting notifications... Even though I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, and still the app freezes constantly. I don't understand why months later this still hasn't been fixed. Edit: I have literally already done both of your suggestions, as stated in my original review.
App is constantly glitching. Want to love it but so frustrated that it doesn't work properly. I can't even complete a simple task like scrolling through the checklist of food items to cross off.
Good idea behind the app, but it doesn't work for long periods of time. the app is so laggy that you can't click on or use anything.
Glitches, unable to even use screen majority of time. Used for.my previous bub and was good but can't even get the screen to move now
Tried making an account and it wouldn't let me at all type anything.
So choppy! Scrolling was choppy and it closed, then reopened. When trying to exit it just kept popping back up! I liked what I saw within the app after persistent attempts to scroll but it's too choppy to deal with.
I really loved this app at first but for the past couple of months it has been completely frozen. I'm unable to click on anything to navigate from the home/open screen. I paid for the upgraded option but have canceled my subscription since I haven't been able to use it.
Doesn't work. Every time I go into the app it maybe let's me scroll for a second then just freezes and closes itself. Was hopeful cause this app seems to have a lot of good info but I guess I'll never know for sure.
Slow loading. Content does not open often
The app freezes and is unusable
Never works!
Was very excited to use the app. Downloaded and the app kept crashing after 10 seconds.
Doesn't work - freezes
This app started out great but it has gotten so buggy that it is unusable. Links don't work and I can't reliably access resources. I was using the paid version.
App opens but freezes instantly
Couldn't navigate app at all. If anything was selected the app would seize up. Uninstalled.
Unusable. (Galaxy s23 ultra) I just downloaded and subscribed.. I cant scroll or click on anything. Nothing opens. I see they are having issues so will keep the subscription for the 14 days if it's not fixed I will have to cancel and uninstall the app. The app looks super promising though so a little disappointed.
When I tried to make a profile my keyboard on my phone started jumping and flashing sad I really wanted to use this app it looked exciting
Not worth the cost, app very buggy (on Android) and app freezes on the simplest pages. Can't even scroll through the entire checklist without app freezing.
worked great at first, now the entire is not responsive. I'm unable to log anything or even switch tabs. Did everything possible to fix it. Reinstalled it multiple times. please fix this otherwise I will have to cancel my subscription
Recently it is not wotking!!
App stopped working. Can't search anything, randomly freezes. Guess that's what you get when you don't pay to use it 🙄
Led to believe this was a free app with more premium features. This is incorrect, the tracking component is paid, disappointing and deleted
Didn't like it
App UI is very unresponsive on Android. Very difficult to use.
Really want to love this app but it is so glitchy on my Google 6! I'm close to paying but just can't because I can't use the app freely without keep on restarting the app. Any tips?
I enjoyed this app at the beginning but as soon as I subscribed the app started glitching and crashing. Tried many things to get it working myself. Cleared up the storage, the app cache, I removed the App and reinstalled it but was still having major issues. I wasn't even able to scroll the pages. So after paying for a couple of months I gave up and unsubscribed. Its dissapointing to pay for something that was broken. Great app, but it just needs fixing!
App used to work but now I can't scroll or search for recipes. Subscribed and now aggravated I wasted my money. Already reinstalled twice and it didn't fix the issue.
