Also, why is it that when you use the genie option it only gives suggestions of names that start with the same letter as “dad’s” name? ### 2/5 — Update and lose everything *2019-12-11* Every time there is an update I lose any names I’ve favorited or saved. I shouldn’t have to pay for this to not be the case. Sure the different search functions are nice but not if I have to re-search again and again. ### 4/5 — More Extensive Database! *2019-01-18* There are sooo many features to this app: ways to search names by origin and meaning, random name creator, similar name suggestions, and even popularity of name in recent history!!! My only complaint is that some names I really like are not even on it. And there is not a way to add your own in to save it from what I can see. But, it’s a fun app! ### 4/5 — Will no longer work on older iPad *2018-06-21* It's a good app to look for name and works on my iPhone 6, but no longer works on my iPad 3 which is what I have used in the past. It's a shame an app updates so much it locks out a long time user. ### 4/5 — Change in Favorites Page *2018-06-10* One of my favorite things about this app was that when looking at all my favorites I could choose if they were sorted alphabetically, by ranking, etc. they have now removed that feature which seems like the opposite of an upgrade to me... ### 2/5 — It was good *2018-06-06, version 2.5.0* This app used to be a good app. I play on Howrse.com, a website that allows me to raise and breed virtual horses. I used this app to help me name my horses. I loved this app when it had a random option, in which I would be given a random selection of names. An update took that away, so now I have to wade through THOUSANDS of names, taking me longer to find that perfect name. ### 2/5 — Correct misspelled names please! *2018-05-18, version 2.5.0* Please correct the spellings of the international names! That’s unbelievable... for instance Aberto doesn’t exist it’s spelled Alberto with the L! ### 3/5 — Helpful *2017-11-17* So far I've found the app helpful although it would be nice to have more search criteria/categories to narrow names down. ### 3/5 — Good *2017-11-13* Good ### 4/5 — Fun app easy to use *2017-11-11* I don't really get what the ratings numbers mean but it's a fun way to keep track of names you are considering & look up what they mean. ### 4/5 — Good *2017-11-09, version 2.4.0* Decently made app, great name ideas. ### 4/5 — Great *2017-11-07* Nice app, easy to use. I would love to see a feature where you can add notes or comments to saved names or something though ### 4/5 — Like it *2017-11-06* Like that I can save my favourites and rate them. ### 4/5 — Genie *2017-11-06, version 2.4.1* Good app to search for names ### 4/5 — Helpful app! *2017-11-05* Great place to quickly search names ### 3/5 — Seems ight *2017-11-04, version 2.4.1* Ye it seems cool ### 2/5 — Names *2017-11-03* Okay app, wish there were more lists. ### 4/5 — Nice app, many names and ideas ! *2017-11-02* Like ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — All gone *2025-11-09, version 2.6.0* All the sames ive been saving for years disappeared ### 1/5 — Lost my collection twice *2023-01-31* Love all of the features, but twice now over the past six years my entire collection has inexplicably been erased. I can’t trust this to be my database to collect names I love. ### 1/5 — Deleted data *2020-11-06* Zero stars would be more appropriate. After weeks of creating a list and narrowing it down to top choices, everything on the app was wiped except for one name we had removed early off the list. No reply from the company on if there are any ways to recoup the info. Save time and just go with an app that actually saves the data. ### 1/5 — Deleted all my saved names! *2019-11-23, version 2.5.3* Thanks for saving years worth of my favorite names.... NOT !!!! ### 1/5 — Warning doesn’t save your favorite names! *2018-09-23* This is the fifth and final time this app has deleted my favorites! I’ll find a different app that will save my names! ### 1/5 — This app is a poopy floopy *2018-04-29* This app couldn't name my Cheeto much less guess my baby's name. Sarah is very disappointed with your dumb face. So this smells like a used diaper😡 ### 1/5 — Lost years of stored names *2017-10-28* I downloaded this app when I got married 5 years ago. I had spent so much time saving unique or diligently searched family names and the app lost them all. When I reached out to the team they said nothing could be done. Hopefully they’ve made changes but I now screen shot my names because I can’t really trust the app. Be aware. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-06-23, version 2.4.0* I used to love this app, but now there is no way to sign in to see the names that I've saved. Very irritating and disappointing!! ### 1/5 — Couldn't even use *2017-04-02, version 2.4.0* I couldn't even use this app since every time I clicked on something an ad would pop up. Useless. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2017-04-02, version 2.4.0* There are too many pop ups to navigate the app. Once upon a time, it was a decent app. Now it is just a collection of ads. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really good *2021-12-09* Because it is good to find lovely names ### 5/5 — Good *2021-06-07* Better database than most naming apps ### 5/5 — Love this app *2018-05-04* I love this app, and have been using it for years, just to look up names I like for future kids. I love the new update. ### 5/5 — Helped name my daughter! *2017-11-12* After using at least 10 other name apps and searching far and wide for an easy to use name app with a decent size name database we discovered BabyNames and the rest is history. After months of research we finally decided on a name for our daughter solely based on the descriptions and encyclopedia of names from BabyNames. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and good list *2017-11-11* Easy to use and good list ### 5/5 — Easy to use! *2017-11-04* Great app. Very useful. ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2017-10-31* Easy to navigate ### 5/5 — I like the app *2017-10-27* It’s one of my faves. Don’t force reviews though. ### 5/5 — Most extensive database. Easy to use. *2017-04-30, version 2.4.0* Very extensive database. Easy to use filter. ### 5/5 — Very useful! *2017-04-26, version 2.4.0* I'm not just using the app to decide on baby names, but also the meaning of names I find in books, stories, etc. Super fun to use and useful! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
