Needs updating
It seems it hasn’t been updated in some time. There is errors in wording and lots of what feels like “copy and paste” without proofreading. Was good for early on after birth to keep a feeding schedule, but then once my baby had gotten more involved I have to go searching for answers when I wish they could have the book linked or something since you pay for a subscription.ChanVicGro
Nothing useful or free
There is zero functionality without paying a subscription to just make a calendar with the same schedule in their book. I bought your book, which was excellent and has great advice. The book promotes the app, which you can’t even try or test or see without signing up with a credit card. Not the way I do business.MxReb0
Falls way short of expectations
In theory this app is great, but it’s missing some critical access to data that other FREE apps have.
You cannot review entries once you’ve made them. So if you’d like to see when your last feeding was or when you changed the last diaper, you’re screwed. Not sure why they ask for the time if they won’t let you see that information. It just keeps a running total for the day.
You cannot pick between OZ or ML. The default for feeding is only in ounces.
You cannot edit an entry once you’ve made it. Any tired mom knows you’ll make errors when you’re extremely sleep deprived trying to log something. Too bad for you though because you can’t fix it.
To log an entry, you have to click the little plus sign instead of anywhere on the large rectangle button. Again, this is very frustrating when trying to record in the middle of the night with only one hand available because the other has the baby.
You cannot look at previous days entries after midnight. You can look at years in advance of blank tentative schedule, but you can’t look back at anything you’ve recorded concerning your personal child outside of the current day.
The app doesn’t have a widget so it is difficult to access. Other free apps you can log feedings, diapers, etc. from the Lock Screen via a widget.
Hopefully someone cares enough to make these changes relatively soon to help the moms paying for this scheduler!Sjswilson
I’m just getting started with this app
I have had this app for a bit but forgot about it. I just paid the subscription to use it but it glitches… the blog freezes and I can’t find the calendar for baby food. It won’t let me scroll down, definitely has a great potential but I have to constantly close the app and open it to be able to use some options because it just freezes.jusssstttmeee
Needs some updating
I love moms on call and have used this method with my kids and it works. I am disappointed with the app. As mentioned in previous review you can tell it is a newer app and there are a lot of things to work out in it. For example… I wanted to customize my toddlers schedule and unless you add every single planned item that is on the regular moms on call schedule you can’t save your customized schedule. What I mean is unless you use all snack times that are listed (5 I believe) you can’t save the schedule. I was unable to figure out how to include specific times to the schedule also like 7am-8:30am play time. I could only set play time for 7am. Also, I deleted my toddler from the app all together and still receive notifications on that child’s schedule as if it was still there. The nursing side could also be updated. It has an overall time for nursing not specific to each breast. Also it has amount of oz baby took during a nursing feed?? How could you possibly know that. Not without weighing baby on special scale etc.
Just a few things that I have seen so far. Again loveee the thought of having this app. But needs more work!Hartim1019
DO NOT PAY FOR APP
Do NOT download this app. Complete waste of my money and unfortunately I paid for 6 months subscription up front and I’ve only used it for 1.5 months.
*** I switched to “what to expect” app because it is ACTUALLY FUNCTIONAL and FREE. Do yourself a favor and get that app to track ***
The app has a lot of potential but it is barely functional. Here are some of my complaints…
- app will CRASH and NOT LOAD for HOURS which makes it impossible to accurately track diaper/feed/sleep
- timeline of feed/diaper/sleep is jumbled any time you edit a previous entry
- breastfeeding timer does not work as timer restarts randomly
- no way to see timeline of all entries in one view - you can only view timeline of each individual category (diaper/feed/sleep etc)
Incredibly disappointed with this app. I will be contacting support to submit my complaints and hopefully get a refund.Rebekah Ford
Like it so far - one glaring flaw
I like the app so far but it’s clear it’s new (ie some of the notes in the schedule aren’t filled out or it has swaddle prompts for bath time). It’s especially frustrating to me that I signed up for a subscription but my husband has no way to access the profile unless he also subscribes on his phone (unless I’m missing something??). We both take care of the baby, we both need to access his care information, so having to double up on a subscription doesn’t seem fair.Mklyons1986
App Crashes
Unfortunately trying to use the app has become frustrating. Half the time it won’t open or load and other times it crashes while I’m trying to time a feeding and loses my data. Won’t be renewing my subscription unless it’s reliability changes.Gonzillo
I want my money back
This app is horribly developed and needs some serious work. We love Moms on Call, but this app just isn’t it. Trust me now— save your money and just buy the book and find another app to track your diapers and feedings. The feeding timer often glitches out on its own and you aren’t able to track your feed. And worst of all for me is that you can’t really set your own pace. I have a preemie who needed to go at a slightly slower pace (which we determined through the help of Moms on Call), but this app doesn’t give you an easy way to go at your own pace. It will only let you move forward to a new schedule when you are prompted to, so even when you try to “see next schedule” it won’t show you the one after the one you are on, but rather the one after the one it thinks you should be on. So since I couldn’t move ahead to the next schedule until two weeks after I needed to when the app finally prompted me to, I was accidentally looking at the 8-16 week schedule for my preemie (whose adjusted age was 1-2 weeks), instead of being able to see the 4-8 week schedule. This app is a mess and has some serious bugs to fix!jrobbins77
Highly recommend
Couldn’t recommend a program more for a first time Mom!Jacqui Barr
