Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Food Critic help picky eaters?

The app uses a playful, step-by-step approach to help kids explore new foods using their senses—sight, touch, smell, and taste. By rating each food like a real critic, kids build familiarity and confidence with foods they usually avoid.

Do I need to prep anything before using the app?

Just have a few foods ready to explore! Goally guides you and your child through the experience, so all you need is the food and the tablet at the table. No extra tools or materials required.

What ages is the Food Critic app best for?

It’s designed for neurodivergent kids ages 3–10, but any child who struggles with trying new foods can benefit from it. The app is visual, structured, and easy to follow, even for non-readers.
