The best app to help with development!!
I have used this app for my son since he was a few months old. He is now 2 and thanks to this app he has been pretty spot on with all milestones. If he struggled with any this app offers great activities to help boost his skills! I did also use Kinedu but they recently changed their app and now you have to pay to use it at all. This app does have a subscription but you do not have to buy it to use it!! It still will offer you free activities, tons of articles to learn from, milestone checklist to learn if your child is behind, they even give you specific information about your child’s age and things they’ll start doing this month, and plenty more!! I could not recommend this app enough!! There’s been so many activities I’ve done with my son thanks to this app. I’m very grateful for it!!Show lessJenniferM08

Hi JenniferM08 , Thank you so much for your nice and insightful feedback. It means a lot to our team. We are more than glad to hear your amazing words! We hope that you and your little one continue to enjoy BabySparks. Have a great day!!Let me use the app before you ask for money
I downloaded the app to find fun activities to do but had issues with my password not being accepted. The app didn't tell me my password had an issue, it just didn't let me log in until I changed it to one without a space. You need to add error messages to tell the user whats wrong.
Once i finally got in the app, I didn't even get to try it out before before being bombarded with their $10 a month fee for the full app. Every new page i went to, just exploring what the app had to offer, I got an annoying full screen popup wanting my money. When I tried one of daily exercises, there was an ad first and the app didn't even warn me or give me a grace period to try the app first without being annoyed by ads. I am so frustrated by this experience that I don't want to even consider using it.
You are prioritizing money over a good UX experience.Show lessScaraldore

As a new member of fatherhood, with the arrival of a newborn. I started searching for apps that would assist me on achieving my newborn milestone and read articles that would aid me on his care. The moment I opened this app… a promotion came up stating that I would receive a… “50% of the annual subscription after the 3-day trial period. But wait… “PROMOTION IS ONLY VALID FOR TODAY ONLY” I signed app because I did not want to miss on this great deal. The full membership price was charged after the 3-day trial period, and the promotion deal that was offered upon opening the app was not amended. This company swindle me with a fake offer upon opening the app to get me to signe up for the membership. However they never redeemed the deal they offered me. I even emailed the company on the second day of the trial period… asking about the promotion and confirm that it would be redeemed. Until this day I have not receive any email regarding my inquiring. This company just ghosted me about the promotional deal the offer. Beware future fathers and mother… this company offered you a deal to sign up and they do not amend it…Show lessD3al S33k3r

Hi D3al, we would like to help you to resolve this issue. Please write us to support@babysparks.com could you please provide us with your email account associated with the app so we can help you to check this out?Worth every penny!
This is the best parenting app. There are so many classes, activities to do with your child, researched-backed articles. My son has met every milestone way earlier than all the kids around him. When he was 4 months old, I was told to stop breastfeeding because he stopped gaining weight. I joined two live breastfeeding classes where I got to talk to lactation consultants. They gave me tips and I was able to resume and I’m still breastfeeding at 14 months. That would have costed me twice that amount if I had hired someone to come to my home. It’s worth it 100 fold. Seriously! Get this app!Show lessMamatoN123
The best app for new moms
I am impressed with the useful videos of the app, and their effects on my son’s motor skills. I’ve seen a huge improvement in his speech and communication. I highly recommend it to all new moms out there who don’t have enough information on how to help their children and get them involved in different games to easily reach their milestones. The application has multiple activities and methods to keep track of your child’s milestones.Show lessPouremam
Really?
I’ve just created my children’s profiles and clicked on a milestone to view it, and I was prompted to subscribe. I then went to view a potty training video and it again prompted me to purchase the lesson or subscribe. I am a pediatric nurse, thus my purpose in downloading this app is to find an easy tool that I can refer my patient’s parents use. I was attracted to this app because of it’s high 5-star rating and because of the activities and lessons that they suggest parents to do with their children. It seemed to serve as an easy guide for parents who want to help their children but don’t know how. There are many resources out there that cost little to nothing — if you have the means, why not purchase? But if you don’t, like many of us, then it’s not feasible to spend money on something like this. I’ll refer my parents to CDC Milestone Tracker, which is by the way a free service. I do appreciate the thought behind this app and I know the developers mean well; I’ve seen them reply to most, if not all, reviews. Kudos to people who keep our children in the best interests because it seems to be a shortage in pediatric services nationwide.
Best wishes to all.Show lessLaCoconutGirl

Hi. Our purpose is in fact to help parents or caregivers who want some guidance on raising their babies. Thanks for bringing this out, for people who can't afford it, we have a free option which gives access to child’s growth and development in real-time, all articles, tips, milestones, and 2 activities per day. Thanks again for your valuable opinion and we hope you have an amazing day!Great App, new parents can find lots of helpful resources here
I’m a new mom and I wish I’d used this app before my baby was born. If you are a new parent, very often you don’t know where to find reliable resources to learn and sometimes you don’t even know what to learn. This is a very nice centralized place to find materials to learn about taking care of baby. Sometimes I found good topics that I’ve never thought about before. I love most of the classes I’ve taken so far. Highly recommended.Show lessHappy S
Helpful!
When my son was very young (1-2 months) and colicky, this app stressed me out. He was crying so much and not really able to do any of the suggested activities. At 2 months, he started crying less and we’ve been able to start incorporating the activities into his day. They’re great— simple, developmentally appropriate, and enjoyable for both of us. The demonstration videos are super helpful, too. Just a few minutes here and there are making a big difference in his development and I don’t have to spend time I don’t have figuring out what to do. I haven’t had much time to participate in many courses but did watch one on infant tummy massage that was excellent. I highly recommend this app for parents and caregivers!Show lessJparidae07

I have tried several apps and this is by far the most comprehensive tool without being overwhelmed. The daily check list of the various 2-3 mins exercises are practical yet challenging for the child. I like that it provides videos explaining how to do it. Theres a list and photos of age appropriate toys with an explanation to why it’s beneficial per milestone development, which has helped save money and limit accumulation of useless toys. Highly recommend this app.Show lessBnvfcgjnv
Needs more settings and customization
The short animations when you complete/rate an activity and when you are a certain percentage towards being done with activities for the day are all very annoying and unskippable. You are unable to exit out of the activity while the animation is happening. The same type of thing happens when you want to see what an activity is and just want to watch the video before deciding to do it. After clicking on the activity and then go to exit out, a pop up automatically shows up for you to rate the difficulty of the activity. These hindrances would be all fine and well if there was a setting to turn them off BUT there is absolutely no settings menu or customizable options. A simple “turn off animations” and “turn off reminders to rate activities” would be a huge help!
Otherwise, the activities are usually day to day type of things that are easy to add to normal play. I like to view the app at the beginning of the day and see how I can work in the activities during our daily routine. It gets a little repetitive sometimes but that’s fixed by having quite a few activities available to pick and choose.Show lessMsSugarCookie
