Leave a Review Baby Tracker & Log
Great! Just one suggestion...
I spent some time looking at various apps before and after my baby came. For some reason, some of the reviews initially made me skip this app. I think probably because I was looking for the best app that I could use completely free. I ended up trying out Baby +, but after the first couple days I really didn't like it for various reasons. At the same time my friend who just had a baby too recommended Sprout, so I went ahead and tried it. I love it! Easy to use. Works on both my phone and my husbands. Has everything I've needed so far.
My only suggestion is that it seems to drain my battery a lot when I record a sleep. It's convenient to have a count up timer for feeding and pumping but for sleeping that ideally happens for hours at a time, it really doesn't need a timer that keeps running in the background. It would be great if I could open the tracking, log what time he started sleeping, then come back in to the app when he wakes up again. Then the app would calculate for me how long his nap was.Show lesscobiforever

Thanks for the feedback. A new update is available on the App Store that should fix the battery drain issue some people were experiencing. You can update our app in the App Store app under the Updates tab. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused! Please contact us at support@sprout-apps.com if you have any questions. Thanks!Good but having trouble with syncing multi devices
Purchased free version and have been using that since baby was born. Decided to put it on my hubbys phone too and this followed their online instructions to download paid version and then put in same codes.
That didn’t work so I reached out to the support people coz Facebook as I couldn’t find their details online. They’ve been responsive but their advice hasn’t resolved the issue after a week of back and forth. Which is really frustrating when you don’t have time to deal with app issues with a newborn.
Pros- I do like the feeding and nappy tracker.Show lessBexieloug

Flexible, logical, Brilliant
This app has given me some sanity in our first week of being parents! We are struggling with breast feeding and this app has allowed us to keep track of the volume we are giving artificially. The number of times we have second guessed when our baby has slept, fed thanks to the lack of sleep has been somewhat solved with the aid of this app. I love the fact I can edit every entry based on the fact I’ve forgotten to start the counter as we start feeding, pumping or changed a nappy. Syncing devices is brilliant I’m sure my husband would love to receive a notification that I’m pumping while he is at work 😂. Love the memories it’s nice to flick though what has happened in such a short space of time. Highly recommend to first time parents trying to get their head around it all.Show lessAuntyMel
So simple but info packed
Parents and careers don’t have time to muck around learning the layout of an app. It just needs to be straightforward, informative and work. This app does just that.
I’ve been using it for sleep tracking and even my gp was impressed.
I’m giving 5 stars but would give a 9/10 ONLY because I think there could be a tiny bit better layout and review of sleep but otherwise the app is spot on 👌Show lessJai...

Thanks for the review! We'd love to hear your feedback on the layout/review of sleep area of the app. If you'd like, you can share it with us at support@sprout-apps.com. Thanks!Great App, A Few Improvements Needed
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.Show lessSudokufan1000
Great app!
I love this app. As a new mom, it makes keeping track of my baby's needs so easy. I only have two 'issues' with the app itself. As a mom of a preemie, my baby needs every calorie available, meaning I have to supplement my breast milk with formula. So it would be really nice if instead of having to choose between marking a feeding as just breast milk, or just formula, I could mark the amount I used of each, in one feeding. For example- if I use 5 ml. of formula & 20 ml. of breast milk, I would love to be able to track both amounts, instead of only having the choice between 25 ml. of formula or 25 ml. of breast milk. My other wish, is in the pumping section. It would be really nice to have the ability to track the amount pumped from each breast, as well as being able to mark the total amount, in one pumping session, as compared to only being able to track the total amount from both, as it is now. Everything else about the app is great. Being able to keep track of everything in one place, is one less thing I have to worry about remembering in my sleep deprived haze.Show lessamalloy28

Thanks for the feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve the app and we'll bring this up to the team! Please contact us at support@sprout-apps.com if you have any other suggestions for the app!It could give a bit more information
I downloaded the app because I had loved sprout so much during the pregnancy. The "baby" app is nice because it's the continuation of sprout, however it has 2 disadvantages compared to sprout:
1) it's not for free
2) it gives very little information in the daily paragraph.
By making it freely accessible and with a bit longer paragraphs about baby development each week, it would improve and be as good as sprout.Show lessCecilia & Marcel
