If you are like me and tend to fall on the anxious side of things this is a wonderful app so that you can monitor your child's weight height and head circumference without having to rely on memory or your pediatricians notes. This app would've come in handy with my first child who is medically fragile and chronically ill and wait was a constant concern. I have not had any bugs or app failures at this point. So far this is been a great app and I'm recommending.

Pros: - Several charts/growth “standards” to choose from: WHO, CDC, etc. - calculated percentile given in a bubble when you click on the data point on the chart (very nice) - internet connection not required (great for iPads!) - preterm adjustment (easy, just enter due date) - head circumference (WHO and CDC) - BMI (WHO standard) - export data to spreadsheet - change units (global setting) and mixed units allowed - decimal values allowed (oz, lb, ft, etc) - you can forecast by entering data in the future - table of all data entered with ability to edit Cons: - does not sync across your devices - data does not back up on cloud (must do a full system backup and restore) - no way to import data from spreadsheet - only calculates BMI on dates where both height and weight are entered (won’t extrapolate) - not a big con, understandable for accuracy Features I would like to see added: - auto cloud backup and sync across devices - able to import data file - ‘hide’ certain data points, instead of only delete - zoom with pinch/pull - set range on x and y axis - change size of data points and thickness of connector lines - able to switch units while entering data

A simple app that helps me track all three of my children's growth. So much better than keeping a boring list of numbers. I have been using this since 2012, and I still love it. It also helps me guess if I should start buying up a size or not based on their trends. So, in a way, it also saves me money. :-). What more could you ask for?
