  • Very easy to use, but...

    - When exporting, you can only export page by page.
    - The dots on the charts are huge. When you have two or more measurements close to each other, they overlap.
    - The charts lack information for every measurement. It would be useful if every dot had the measurement and percentage below them.
  • Does not back up to cloud or sync between devices

    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

    Developer Response

    Hello, thanks for the detailed feedback! You are going to love the next big update, which will address much of what you pointed out, including backup/sync.
  • Almost perfect:)

    I love having a place to keep up with my three kids health stats. My only regret is that the information does not back up to the cloud. My phone died, and they were not able to restore my new phone to the latest back up. I lost six years worth of data. Luckily their doctors gave me charts but I had to input it all manually. Otherwise have really enjoyed having this information at my fingertips.

  • Great app

    My daughter has health issues, so we constantly have to chart her weight, height, and know percentages. This app is great for that!
  • Anxious Mamas Unite

    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.

  • Easy to use, accurate percentiles?

    This was so easy to use and great for my baby who has struggled with feeding issues and thus growth. Our doctor, however, keeps telling me that he is in a different weight percentile than this app. Both are supposedly using WHO standards. Not sure which one is correct?
  • Disappointed when I changed phones.

    I am very disappointed that nothing transferred when I changed phones. I had changed phones before and the transfer was seem less. Yesterday I got a new phone and we to open the app and everything was gone. I can’t even find how to restore my previous purchase of the upgrade. My youngest is on a feeding tube and keeping all her weights is vital. But also lost everything since my 3 year old was born.

    I am so sorry to hear this. It sounds like your iCloud backup failed, but even if that's gone there may be another way to recover this data (an iTunes backup on your computer, an export you may have made in the past). Can you please email me at feedback@clafou.com and I will do all I can to help. And sorry again, I can only imagine how upsetting this is. Seb -- PS: To restore your upgrade, tap on "Already Purchased?" at the bottom of the upgrade screen.
  • Difficult to use

    The app is difficult to use and completely unintuitive. I am all for paying a few dollars to support individual developers but the paid version is more of the same unintuitive experience. I also can’t tell if the % is correct because it is different from the doctors.
  • Awesome app!!

    Super easy to use. Lets me look at different charts and track multiple children's growth!
  • Great

    This is a great app for keeping up with your babies weight. I forget to put it in the baby book until days/weeks after the appointment. This is very helpful to remind me what the weight was at the time of the appointment.
