LaLa Lunchbox App Reviews

Should be allowed to have a variety of items for lunch PLUS snacks as well. It really limits the child on what to choose for his snack period and lunch period. Ill give 5 stars if they can change this!

I used to use this app for myself during college. It was awesome and I loved using it! I stopped using it for a year or so, and recently thought I should check this out again now that Im out of college. The dumb thing is though, that the monster covers up over half of the lunchbox so you cant see the last 2 categories! I dont know if this is just my phone or if its happening to other iPhone 4s users, but its really irritating. I wish it could be fixed because I loved this app! I want to keep using it!

This app should solve our school lunch packing problems. And it should make their lunches healthier because they can see the varied choices instead of picking the same things everyday. Love that the lists can be shared from device to device and that it makes a shopping list.

I love this app! I was in search of an app that could show my kids choices for lunch. I used to use a worksheet and a dry erase marker and have the kids select what items they wanted for lunch. This work somewhat, the problem was that I had to print a new sheet when the items changed. With lala lunchbox I am able to customize food items that my kids love. My kids love selecting what they want for lunch. In the morning all I need to do is pull up their order and make it. In the morning my brain is not running at top speed so I it would take some time to figure out what to pack and hope that my kids will like it. I use bentgo lunch containers for my kids. This app helps me to fill all the compartments.

I love this app, but recently all of the photos Ive added for new foods disappear. Any idea when that will be fixed?

This app keeps crashing and hasnt worked for months.

Great app - makes planning and packing lunches for my 3 kids a lot more interactive and fun. Kids find it intuitive too (6 8 and 10 yrs old).

How come I can only put six items in a lunchbox? This limit makes this app not very helpful. To bad because it is a great idea. There should be no limit but the ability to limit if chosen before giving to the child to fill out.

Great app! Saves us time and almost alway lunch pack comes back empty which is what i was looking for. Makes it fun for her to choose and its great that i can add her fav foods including even a picture. Keep it up guys!

This has made lunchtime so much fun!

Very limiting app if you are looking to only use the four food groups in general terms to show your kids what they have eaten, but for realistic mommy planning its no good.

This will greatly ease some of the pain of packing lunches every day! Cute & simple interface, beautiful colors. A few more animations or images of the monster eating the lunch, or small awards for kids filling their box would be great. The kids find if fun so far; well see how long it lasts! A small suggestion for improvement - It would be REALLY helpful if I could permanently delete an item Ive added, but no longer want. Or to be able to move it to a new category. ie: I accidentally put granola bars in the fruit category & there is no way to delete or move the item to the correct category. Otherwise, so far so good!

This app has a simple and clean aesthetic which makes it easy to use for kids and parents alike. My 4 year old just started kindergarten and this has made at least one part of the transition waaay easier than I anticipated. As part of our evening routine, we sit down, select what is going to go into her LaLa Lunchbox and than make and pack her real lunchbox together. Whats great is that she is enjoying eating what she has helped assemble. If you are looking for an app to give guidance/direction on the food pyramid, or break items down into all possible categories (eg. Carbs, grains, starches etc...) this app will not meet those needs. It will however, provide parents (if they so choose) with a simple way to introduce and discuss the importance of proper nutrition with their young children. There are some nice additions and adjustments that can be made in the settings area which I suggest exploring and, if you have any comments or concerns, their email response time is AMAZING.

The idea behind this app is pretty clever: kids lunch meal planning synched with a grocery list. Takes an often tedious routine and involves parent and child in a fun tech-savvy way. However, food choices are limited and theres an awful lot of processed meats and packages snacks. I suppose this is normal and ok for many people, but not everyone feeds their kids cold cut sandwiches for lunch 4-5 days a week. There were a couple of pasta choices, but I honestly cant see this being too useful to any families (like mine) who eat (for lack of a better word) ethnic food (the only non-western selection I saw was sushi). Anyway, it would be great if the app were more customizable. Somehow allow people to add their own food items to the list, possibly even take their own pictures. Like I said, good concept but only so-so execution BUT theres definitely room and potential for great improvements.

There are proteins and fruits and veggies... What about dairy and grains? And the app is full if what I can only guess are ads for prepackaged foods. Great idea but not going to work for my family.

My kids love the idea and were very excited the set up their first weeks lunches. Customer support is great! Very helpful & quick to respond. Helped me with the sync.

My kids are loving the ability to choose lunch items and I am happy as its making grocery planning easier. Also like that I can add or remove food choices and change the number of items in the settings (super easy to find also). Great bonus was the breakfast app and that they can sync together! Just wish there was a supper app to go with it all and round out the day lol

When I heard about this app I was excited, finally some fun ideas for the lunch bag. Sadly it is just a poor example of product marketing, I assume to be aimed directly at children. Sponsorship is a great thing, but this could have been a lot better if more creative combinations/recipes were offered, and you left the product placement on the sponsor boards. Deleted the app.

What a great lil app! The kids love playing with it and it makes preparing their lunches fun and easy!

Why cant this be synced so that specific children can choose from their iPod or iPhone instead of having to add from single account. Hope this is available in an update.
