Glitchy but good.
I love this app for tracking my babies feeding and diapers. My only complaint is that it is very glitchy. Multiple times a week I have to restart my phone because the app will not let me open it which is frustrating when trying to juggle a newborn and the app.
Buggy
This app is buggy as all get out. I’ve had to restart my phone, and delete the app and reinstall multiple times on iPhone 14 Pro. Now the measurements on my wife’s phone (also a 14 pro) for yesterday are showing up correctly, but they’re missing from my phone app. Today’s show up correctly, and 2 days ago and older show up… but not yesterday. Also, poor execution on the feeding recording. If I’m starting a bottle timer, makes more sense to put in starting amount first before I forget how much is in the bottle, then subtract ending amount if not finished. App doesn’t allow this information until after timer is finished. If you’re not using formula your starting amount might not be consistent each feeding. Little things like that. Overall just really hard to use. If we didn’t have the scale I’d switch apps.

Pleas fix the bugs
Since the new update the app crashes every time I try to open it as well you can’t delete any information. (ie if I start a sleep timer or hit feeding timer in error there’s no way to delete the information as the delete buttons don’t work)
Great but loaded with bugs
Please fix the bugs. Been using the app for a yea and you still can’t delete a feed or a nap (made in error let’s say) without the app crashing. And with the new update it’s been worse than ever. So buggy!
Almost Perfect!
I really enjoy the ease of this app for tracking diapers, feeds and sleep (though we really only use this feature for tracking naps) with our now 9 week old. It really helps when you’re sleep deprived and cannot remember how long it’s been between feeds especially 😂. My one complaint is that for both myself and my husband if we try to delete a set of data (say we accidentally logged a 1 minute nap) the app always crashes for us and the data gets sent ever deleted when we reopen it. Happened with our old phones (IPhone 11 Pro Max) We both recently upgraded our phones to the IPhone 15 Pro Max and it still does it, so it must be a bug in the app (still happens if we log in or out and uninstall/reinstall the app). Other than that we really enjoy it!

Great app for parents of newborns
This app provided an excellent place for my wife and I to actually track our baby’s key activities so we could make data informed decisions for things like how to get baby to sleep and to track if we were feeding enough. This saved both of our minds from being completely sleep deprived AND helped us get our child on a regular sleeping/feeding pattern within a few weeks and then sleeping through the night after establishing the rhythm. We cannot recommend this app enough to friends and family who are either in the same stage or are thinking about having kids in the near future.
That said, there are two areas of improvement for the app - (1) adding/syncing data while traveling on flights that cross time zones (or maybe even flights in general). Currently we needed to use screenshots to record our entries on the flight and then manually entered the data after turning off airplane mode. (2) Dark mode theme for nighttime entries. When opening the app in darkness, the white background is harsh on eyes that are used to the darkness of night.

Good app- survey questions poor
The app itself is fine/good. I used it with 3 kids so far and with my first and second when I was nursing it was helpful in knowing how much they were eating (obviously the main point of the product/app). With my third baby, I was only nursing about once to twice a day before switching to completely exclusively pumping because he has a painful latch and wasn’t really improving. We still use the pad as a scale when we want to weigh him. But these survey questions in the app are so dumb to be honest because even though I am 100% a breastfeeding mom exclusively pumping, the questions will say like is your baby biting you (yes/no/im not breastfeeding). There should be a 4th option of none of these. There are so many questions that come up that the answers do not apply to my situation. Not just breastfeeding related questions. But it just is so annoying how It acts like there’s no other options besides nursing or “not breastfeeding” like as if people can’t combo feed with formula or partially nurse and partially bottle feed pumped milk. The question/answer writers for their surveys just need to be more inclusive in general bc if they’re actually trying to get an accurate response and idea of what people’s answers are, they need to provide more choices than their narrow minded options currently. Rant over 🙃

Okay for sharing information in the short term. Not reliable to keep data long term.
The app was okay to use even when it worked but nothing groundbreaking. We just had our second child, almost 3 years after our first. We opened the app again to use it on this child, hoping to see our first child’s information again. His name still showed up but not any of the data we entered. My partner’s phone did show his data but there was mo option to share the data from her phone to mine. In a last ditch effort to retrieve the information I deleted him from my phone but that deleted him from my partner’s phone as well. We’ll try another company’s app for sharing information but document it in more reliable manners. I’m just glad we didn’t waste our money on any of the Hatch devices. If they function anything like the app, they’re not worth the high price tag.

Crashes with the latest iOS update
After updating to the latest iOS this app now crashes on start and I can’t log any information anymore. Hopefully a fix will be put out soon.
Love it! But would recommend one improvement
I think this app is wonderful. I got it specifically for the feature of weighing my baby after each breast-feeding session. I was concerned with my first baby not knowing if he got enough milk at each session, so for the second baby, I bought this wonderful product. I use it multiple times a day and use all the features on it. However, I’d like to suggest an improvement, on one of your existing features. As a busy mom, with a two-year-old, scrolling through the time feature to enter time takes longer than necessary. So, I’d like to suggest adding a manual tap entry rather than a scroll entry. The tap entry is available when baby is sleeping, and you want to edit in the moment. I love the tap entry because it’s so much quicker and saves me lots of time. I have all tap entry on a different baby tracking app that I really love, but rather than using two baby apps at a time, I’m now just using the hatch app. Would really love your consideration to add the tap entry feature rather than the scroll entry. Thank you so much for a very special product for parents.
