I love this app, it has an endless selection of meal options for babies at any stage of weaning. I particularly love the search option, which you can search for a particular ingredient or age group. I also have one of Annabel's wearing books, which I love, but the app makes it so much easier and quicker.
Reviews for Annabel Karmel Kids Recipes
← Back to Annabel Karmel Kids RecipesGood range of recipes but so many problems with them! Incomplete methods and / or ingredients list, some places have ingredients listed twice with two different quantities so it's a guessing game to which is correct, and loads of recipes don't say which age they are suitable for which is so unhelpful!! Would love for them to sort these issued as then the app would be great and so useful.
I pay monthly for this app. Initially it was great to use, had an age guide, whether it could be frozen etc on each recipe. Recently however the app has become very glitchy, parts of ingredients/method missing, it no longer gives an age guide on individual recipes or whether it's suita le for freezing. The name of the dish might suggest a specific ingredient yet when you click on the ingredients it's not listed. Very disappointing app at present.
Dangerous! Recipes are in age categories & errors have led to recipes being in the wrong age categories. Meaning children from 6 months have recipes that include honey - a huge NO! Also sugar & that's just in one recipe. The team advised it's an error. I would be cautious of other ingredients etc. You don't pay for an app to have to Google each recipes ingredients to ensure they are OK. You would trust the research & reputation of the app which you cannot. Very Dangerous & not user friendly!
Having nearly subscribed to a similar app (based in America) which is £14 a month!! This is genuinely amazing for anyone weaning a baby. Whether puree or baby led weaning, you'll find a tonne of nutritious recipes. It also has an allergy calendar tracker which is really handy for tracking which allergens you've tested, when and if theres been any reactions. my favourite feature is that you can search different foods and ot tells you how they should be served safely depending on baby age. 5* App.
First time mam using this app. I found it so helpful. It has a very clear and simple layout which allows you to select recipes for whatever part of your weaning journey you are on. I especially like the feature where you can enter ingredients that you might have at home and it will give you some recipe options All the receipts are simple and easy to follow, and so far, my baby has loved them all!! I would recommend this app to anyone who is weaning their baby no matter what stage they are at!
She has free recipes on her website. I have 2 Annabel Karmel books. The app says "free with in app purchases". I thought maybe she has bonus stuff for a fee or maybe there's a donation thing but no straight away it asking for a subscription of $50 a year. I paid about $25 for her books. Maybe I would consider a one off $25 for the app, but I wouldn't even use it for more then a year. It doesn't have the production cost of a book nor can I hand it down to someone. Library is free also.
Great selection of recipes to choose from and can choose by age or type (e.g breakfast / snacks). Recipes are mostly easy to make and usefully tells which can be frozen etc. App is easy to navigate and I love the search by ingredient feature, which makes it useful when trying to use up food in the fridge! Fantastic for BLW, but also has purees to make too.
It's been a week that it keeps crashing and won't even open. I paid for this?
Good range of recipe ideas for different ages but could have some improvements in format. E. G. it would be useful to see the appropriate age when you click into the individual recipes so that you can check it will be appropriate to your child, particularly as you can't filter by age in general sections such as "finger foods". Being able to add recipe ingredients to a list is useful, but it would also be good if you could export these lists to a text file or share externally.
This app will make the weaning journey I'm on with my daughter so much easier. What I did love that the recipe I did today I had as well and it was so tasty
Difficult to navigate as you cannot filter recipes by type (e.g. breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack) or by whether they are freezable or not (I have another app that does this and its so helpful). Also, when you are looking at a recipe and hit back it takes you straight back to the main page rather than back to the list of recipes, very annoying and time consuming (and time is something I don't have with a baby!). Took out the trial and will not be subscribing due to these issues.
Great selection of meals. I always find it helpful when I have an ingredient and I don't know what to make with it - I can just search and find a whole variety of meals. Only rated it 4 stars as the UX does let itself down - filter function sometimes breaks, going back and forth between recipes is clunky. It would also be useful to have a history button so you can see what you looked at previously. Otherwise you have to favourite your recipes but I often forget to do that!
cannot open the app as the screen doesnt let me scroll to the explore button in order to log in. Ive uninstall and reinstalled and cleared cache with no luck.
lost all the recipes I'd saved and also seems to have just removed one of the recipes I made so I can't go back and make it again. it also is very glitchy
It doesn't work. Just comes up with what I think is the Annabel Karmel Recipes loading page, I can't see anything else. No menu or nothing. I am pretty disappointed as I was keen to use this.
Game changer for me. I love watching my baby try new foods but it's so hard coming up with age appropriate, easy to make recipes. This app has been fab, I can save my favorites, add notes, and mark of a recipe was a hit or not and much more. I can't wait to keep making more of these recipes.
great app for weaning parents so helpful tells you what ways to prepare/cut certain foods for that child's age range. has so many recipe ideas for so many different ages so helpful for working mums who are constantly on the go!
It's very glitchy. It doesn't load pages. subscribed because I have loved the recipe book we have. I thought there would be a lot more content with recipes from the website organised on an app. This is not the case. There are some new recipes but very limited. I'd recommend her books and using the recipes on her website.
The app picks and choices when it's going to load which is extremely frustrating, the recipes are good and helpful when they do load but it's not worth the stress when it doesn't work most of the time
