Needs a desktop version!
This app would be so great if there were a desktop version too. It’s so hard to type and insert longer paragraphs on a phone for the different prompts, especially longer ones. Not to mention how hard it is to read what you’ve typed when you can’t zoom in on the mobile app, or put in multiple photos from way back in your photo library. It would be so much easier to drag and drop photos on a desktop or laptop. I’ve had the app for 2 years and really want to finish and print my daughter’s baby book (not to mention starting ones for my other two kids) but I’m finding it so hard to do on a mobile app alone. Please please make a desktop version!!!

Absolutely in love with my book!
I just received my son's baby book in the mail last week and WOW IT IS STUNNING! I am beyond happy with how it turned out, and so proud of myself for finishing it! I am absolutely the type of person that never gets around to finishing photo books, I get super overwhelmed by it. So when I discovered Baby Notebook I knew this was perfect for me. The app was really easy to use, just enough customization options to make it unique and how you want it to look without being overwhelming. The book itself is large and very nice quality, and the design/style is beautiful. I know some of the reviews complained about the price and subscription, but for me it made sense because it did give me motivation to actually finish the book. I don’t think it’s too expensive at all, you get what you pay for and I promise it is worth every penny! I’ll definitely be continuing on with the toddler book for my son and recommending this to other mama’s I know. Thank you Baby Notebook!

EXPENSIVE.
You pay for the subscription, then you pay for the book, then if you need more pages (which who doesn’t? This day and age all we do is snap pictures of our adorable little ones) you pay for those too! Before you know it, you’ve spent $200 on a book you can’t even fully customize. You can’t change anything layout wise about the book, you can’t add words over pictures. They have pre-chosen/made pages for you and you can not deviate or add anything on the pages they put together for you. IMO if you’re going to charge upwards of $200 for a baby book, make it more personable. Let us add text on a page with more than 3 pictures, let us layer it over a picture. Let us change the color of the page. Just some options.

Hi Amber, The book comes with the ability to add 170+ photos (depending on if you change out a layout to include more photos). Our design is minimalist because we felt even though we do take more photos than ever before, not all of them are worthy enough to be included. Our prices are competitive to competitors. We designed our book so that busy parents could complete them without having to worry about formatting and designing page layouts. This being said, our baby books are not for everyone! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope you find an option that fits your needs best. We do welcome all feedback and do consider customer's wishes. For example, that is how we came to add the additional page feature. We had many customers tell us they wanted to add more pages! Thanks again and have a wonderful week.
Beautiful book and easy app
I am a second time mom and never created a baby book for my first because I was so overwhelmed with the new life transition and really regretted not making one.
I ended up being able to easily access archive photos of my first baby and build his book in parallel to real-time building a baby book for my second baby. It was easy to do it retro actively and even easier to do it in real time. I definitely recommend getting premium so you can edit the pages layout and prompts easily. that was particularly helpful when working on my son’s baby book 5 years late 😅

Hello! WOW, congratulations on completing two baby books at once! That is truly epic and this was such an awesome review to read. We absolutely love hearing from you and how you completed your first and second child's books! You're amazing!
Great team behind this app
I did my research before choosing it, and I am so happy about the final result. The printed book is high quality, and adding to it throughout the year was made easy by the design and customization options. They have a responsive support team, whenever I had a question along the way. I have twins, I made one book and had 2 copies printed. It’s great knowing that the love put into the framework for these books is the same as the love I put into the content. I know my daughters will love this gift.

Wow, thank you for writing us such a thoughtful review! I am so happy you love how your baby book turned out and that the customer service team was helpful and timely. I will let them know you appreciated it. It absolutely makes our day to hear these kind words about our 3rd baby, Baby Notebook!
Finished book is sublime!
I knew I’d be impressed with the product given how diligent the owners are at constantly refining and improving their book after the many months of working on mine for my second pregnancy. But now that I’ve seen the printed book, I’m blown away! It is stunning!! I am now in the process of redoing my firstborns book because it is so lackluster compared to this one! Don't hesitate, your baby book will be a piece of art once completed!

Just received my book!
First off, I love it, and it’s so perfect. I was able to keep up with it for most of the year and tried to monthly notate each months milestones but as a mother we all know it’s very hard to make time for this type of commitment. When my daughter reached one month I happened to look at my subscriptions and saw I had less than 1 month left to complete my book.l before I was charged another 50 dollars on top of the 150 I already spent. 200 dollars for a baby book if I wouldn’t have finished in time? I felt pressured to rush sweet moments while also working a full time job. Why in the world would you charge for extra time when I haven’t even finished.
Now comes the hesitation about doing the second year, life with a toddler is even more hectic so if I start off strong and get off track I know I’ll be charge even more for going over. I’ll probably for go the second year because of the stress but understand that businesses need money too. I paid 150 dollars for one book… and that’s not enough?

Better than I can ever expect!
I am the person who busy journals and never uses them. So when it came to a baby book of memories, I was concerned about keeping up with information and pictures for it to be worth while. This app and printing service took away all the stress of putting together a scrapbook of memories. I love how customizable it is and all the prompts to help make the book flow so well. When my book arrived, I cannot express how much happiness I felt! I finally finished a journaling project! Already working on the 2nd year book! Excited to continue using!

the perfect baby book!
I am so in love with the baby book I created! It is VERY high quality, big, and the photos are so clear. I’m hard to please, but the app is nearly perfect! Very easy to find what you’re trying to do, and easy to customize what you want to change. I made a baby book for my second child, but now plan to go back to make another for my first baby. Such a perfect keepsake!

Hi Jeypack, Thank YOU for spending time writing about your experience with our app and books! It means the world to us since we are a family owned business and Moms ourselves! We are so happy to hear you love your baby's book and that you found the app easy to use.
Excellent excellent excellent
I was sooo nervous about ordering this because I didn’t know if anyone that had used this service previously. The book is EXCELLENT quality, the pictures printed beautifully, and it was huge! I couldn’t be happier and this will serve as a nice keepsake.
Another benefit - the customer service was super helpful and quick to respond. I will definitely be buying another book.
