Baby Tracker & Newborn Log

I used to LOVE this app and would recommend it to everyone I knew who had kids. I found the app after having my first born back in 2017, and I used it religiously. I used the feeding tracker, the developmental and growth trackers, the immunization record. It always wanted to charge if you wanted to use the memories/milestones and few other things but as I didn’t care for those I never bought anything. My first born is now almost 4 and I was still using it for him, I had my second son in March of this year and without a second thought added him on my account and started tracking him as well everything was awesome as it was before until one day (after 6 months of using it for my second son) when I was updating the developmental tracker it said my free trial was over and I needed to pay. What kind of free trial lasts almost 4 years? I refuse to pay $30 so I can continue to use this app, I literally can’t do anything on it now but view the previous records I made it’s totally useless now. Why take all the free features to force people to pay a monthly, yearly or one time payment? I will sadly be deleting this. It was good while it lasted. Edited review: After giving my initial review I was contacted by customer support and they were very nice. Explained as they are a small company they are charging to use the app. Which I totally get but still think the option to use the basics of the app for free and pay for extra features should still be an option, and do what many other apps do have adds play so they make some money. Anyways they were nice enough to help me fix the issue I had and I’m not able to use my account again which I really appreciate. Was awesome of them to even reach out and solve my problem now I can go back to use this app the way I use to.

I love this app! It is a data junkie’s dream. I can see charts, stats, graphs, and details about my baby’s feedings, diapers, sleep, and more. I jot down questions for the pediatrician so I don’t forget. The best part is that my husband also uses the app. Only 1 person has to purchase it. When we swap baby duty we can see what the other person did and when. If I need a nap he can see it’s because baby woke up 4 times overnight, etc. My only mild annoyance is the feeding time tracker. I don’t particularly care how long it takes my baby to eat so I simply “end” the feeding right after I hit start. At the end of a feed I’m usually trying to put baby to sleep so clicking end on my phone is the last thing I’m thinking about. If I leave the feeding time as 1 sec it barely shows up on the chart. Therefore, I have to go in and adjust it to 10 or 15 minutes. I wish there was a default feeding time that could be adjusted for those of us who don’t really want to track it. A weird bug I’ve noticed is that the feeding tracker monthly amount trend graph is showing breastmilk amounts. We only use formula so I’m not sure why that is happening. The other types of charts and stats don’t have that bug.

I love this app and use it to the fullest (tracking sleep, feeding, diapers, weight, etc). I really like the daily summaries for each task so I can quickly see how much my kid has eaten or slept and how much I’ve pumped. The interface is very easy and rather pleasing to use. There are just three small improvements that would greatly improve the user experience. First, as noted by another reviewer, it would be nice to be able to track how much milk is pumped from each breast. Right now, I have to manually add a note to each session stating how much per side. Second, it would be great to be able to specify how much milk is pumped and eaten down to the tenth or twentieth of an ounce. I don’t express milk in quarter-ounce increments and it’s irritating to have to round up or down each time and, considering I pump 6-9 times per day, a little rounding error each time really adds up. Similarly, my kid doesn’t eat in .25 increments so I’m not able to accurately track how much she is eating. Third, it would be nice if the app had a function that would take into account how much you’ve pumped and how much your kid has eaten and give you a running total of how much breast milk you have in storage. I briefly used another app that had that feature and really liked it. All in all, these are small-ish nits about an otherwise great app.
