Terrible graphs
I don’t recommend this app. I’ve been using the premium version for two years now. It lets you record all kinds of data, but when it comes to visualising that data, the app is terrible.
The biggest problem is that the app doesn’t support landscape mode. For example, if you take your child’s temperature four times a day for a week, you have to view all 28 data points squeezed into the narrow portrait screen. The same problem applies to exports. All graphs are exported to PDF in portrait mode, and the longer the time period, the worse the graphs become.
The timeline PDF exports don’t even include a legend. If you use custom activities, anyone looking at the timeline has to guess what the icons mean.
There are also some very basic graphing issues. For example, the graphs don’t connect data points with lines. If you have a low temperature reading followed by a high reading and then another low reading, it’s difficult to tell whether you’re looking at two consecutive low readings or a low-high-low sequence because there is no line connecting the points. This becomes even worse when viewing a longer time period, as the data points get crammed extremely close together.
The temperature graph also has a seemingly random reference line around 36.7°C that cannot be changed. If you want to quickly see which readings are above 37.5°C, for example, there is no way to set the reference line to that value.
You also cannot plot related data together. For example, if I want to see my child’s temperature readings alongside medication entries on the same graph to understand the effects of the medication, that’s not possible. The timeline only shows icons and not the actual values.
Finally, if you want to create your own graphs or analyse the data elsewhere, you can’t. The app only allows you to export PDFs, not CSV files.
Overall, the app is good for entering data, but its data visualisation and export capabilities are very poor.

Response from developer
Hi, great to hear the features are helping you keep up with your little one.
Still using at 21 months!
This app is amazing. I started using this when my son was a few days old and I’m still using it at 21 months. It’s great for tracking diapers, sleep schedule, temperature, and medications as needed.
