Gathers/Sells Your Info Before Even Using The App- Do Not Use

Why do you have to gather and sell our info with your partners? So we can get bombarded/spammed with all-things baby related? We’re just trying to match baby names without selling out. No thanks. Pure hassle. 0/10.

Can’t create an account

If you can’t create an account this app is useless

Didn’t Work

I tried to create a log in and the page would freeze giving an error code 401 but didn’t tell me how to fix or what that meant. Tried a couple of times and it wouldn’t work so I deleted the app.

Can’t Use

Can’t even log into the app or create an account. Keep getting some 401 air.

Continues to crash

Really simple UI and nice feature with significant other, but crashes after every 5-8 choices

No AI

Does not use likes and dislikes to guide future suggestions

Not real names

So many weird, not real names that seem like a jumble of random letters together. Why isn’t there a way to filter for, for example, traditional names or vintage names or nature based names or anything??! It’s just scrolling through tons of garbage finding the occasional couple of normal names

Okay

Name options are good, but really need an option to reset for another child.

Not culturally centered.

All names are very Anglo and don’t match my last name. There are no settings to adjust this

Life saver

This became our Saturday morning routine, to spend an hour going through names. Then when we had enough matches we went through them together to pick a name. It was the more joyful option for an otherwise tedious process. We tried two other apps before this one. It gives normal names and the algorithm picks up on what you like / patterns.

Frequently crashes

This app regularly crashes for both my wife and I. Can’t use it for more than 30 seconds.

Consistent Load Issues & Odd Name Assortment

I’ve been using this app for about a month now and the frequent load issues are very annoying. The other big negative I see is that if you’re looking for both girl and boy names, 85% of the names that come up are girl names and the boy names that do come up are not good. They’re either very traditional like Luke, redneck names like Butch, or lots of Indian and Arabic names.

Interesting app

Great at generating ideas for baby names.

Want to love it

I love the idea, but the app keeps crashing or disconnecting. It is only useable for a few minutes before running into these issues. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled with no change. It seems there are others who have had the same experience. Please fix this!

Crashed every time I’ve tried to use it

It has crashed and closed out on me at least ten times in the past day. I love how it’s set up so I keep trying to use it, I’ve even reset my phone. But it’s extremely frustrating that it just won’t work for more than 2-5 minutes at a time and theres no way for me to fix it. It won’t stay open.. I’d give it five stars if it functioned properly enough to use :(

Avoid

Performance issues, always says “cannot load” and constantly repeats same names over and over again.

Constant problems

Between the no signal glitch (i have 5G and on WiFi) and it swiping on the name cards behind the one I’m viewing, I’m aggravated. Can barely use the app without having to constantly exit out and restart it. Doesn’t matter what i do. Always problems.

Not the best but definitely has room to grow.

I’ve been looking for hours upon hours and all of the names are either from the Bible or are oldies basic. I’m not talking cute oldies like Pearl or Opal, I’m talking oldies like Lincoln and Martha. If the app were to have categories and filters, I believe it could thrive. It has a lot of potential, but it needs more of a unique/modern touch. Not all of us are the same, we all don’t seek the same name. There are old traditional names we may like and others we will not. Please keep that in mind.

Not a fan

I really don’t like that I have to give so much information to use this app. I would also like to know name meanings and potential other spellings. Pronunciation would be helpful to.
