If you’ve got “dark mode” enabled on your iPhone you cannot see the names since they are in black font. Developers need to change it so it appears white with dark mode. ### 4/5 — Fun answers for naming yourself😉 *2020-07-11* This site is so much fun to re-name everyone you have ever known! ### 3/5 — Just ok. *2018-07-20, version 1.3* Not very user friendly. ### 4/5 — Bom *2018-06-12* Tem como fazer uma lista com os nome que mais gostou eu achei útil ### 3/5 — Could use a new feature... *2017-04-01* A lot of names go undocumented on here! Maybe allow users to type in a name they love into their own favorites? ### 2/5 — Keeps restarting from beginning *2015-06-15* If the app is running in the background & I switch from one app to another it restarts the app from the beginning default list... Very annoying :( ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2015-03-27* Don't have a bad things to say. Has tons and tons of names and spellings to chose from. Easy to navigate. All Momma's and Momma's to be will love this app! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2015-03-04* Amazing selection of baby names. Minimal ads in unpaid version. ### 4/5 — No problems yet *2015-02-22, version 1.3* So far so good ### 5/5 — Love *2015-02-19, version 1.3* Love it ### 3/5 — *** *2015-02-18* Lots of ads on the free version. Makes it very tedious to use and wait for the ads. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2015-02-16* There are some common names missing, but overall not a bad app. ### 5/5 — Good *2015-02-14* It's very easy to use! ### 5/5 — Gets the job done *2015-02-14* Tons of names, easy to search... 👍 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2015-02-09* I love that you can save your favourites. 1000s of names to choose from plus meanings. Best baby name app I've used. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cant see names any more. *2022-10-29* fist time I could see names, few I tiked. Next tike I open the app, i cannot see the name, only meaning and the location regardless of that anoying ammount of adds ### 1/5 — Awful *2022-08-07* Terrible interface. Terrible graphic. Can’t seem to change from a black background so can’t see any names. Lots and lots of ads. ### 1/5 — Names are from 2013! *2017-01-10* Who wants to download an app for baby names from 2013!? There are SO many later and better baby name apps out there. Don't waste your time with this one. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-07-26* You have to watch an ad every time you open the app. The user interface is dated. Waste of time and memory. ### 1/5 — Too many adds *2015-07-13* Way too many obnoxious ads you can't cancel quick enough ### 1/5 — Ads Disppointing *2015-02-07* Each time you open this app, your held hostage with a violent game app for 5 seconds before having to choose to exit out of it. This may not seem like a lit, but when you are making a list of baby names in your notepad, exiting & entering back into the app between note taking, takes more time than actually using this app. For this reason, it's completely unusable. ### 1/5 — Crashes!! *2015-01-11* I just purchased the full version thinking it wouldn't crash anymore, but it still does!! EVERY TIME I search the girl names through Alpha from 1977 it crashes. Fix this!!! ### 1/5 — Malware *2014-06-14, version 1.2* Crashes over and over. Can't get to my saved list of names. Constantly trying to sell you things. ### 1/5 — Completely Overrated *2013-07-04* With 4.5 stars and reviews saying it had no silly names like other apps, I was surprised to find several variations of 'Braydon' and missing legitimate, common names that I was looking for like Angus or Lachlan, among others. Not cool! ### 1/5 — Nul... *2012-03-06* App supprimée directement... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SHEYDRIEL *2022-03-30, version 2.0* Greta app ### 5/5 — Love *2020-09-19* I love this app. Thank you. I use this app to look up characters for my stories. ### 5/5 — Love the different ways to search *2020-08-19* Tons of names! If you’re looking for common or uncommon, there are different ways to find what you’re lookin for! One thing: if your iPhone is set to “dark” under display and brightness, the app will not work correctly, just a heads up. ### 5/5 — Baby names *2019-04-29* Although I don’t need to find baby names for myself I find it very interesting and entertaining to view them and learn their origins. ### 5/5 — Excellent app! However *2016-02-04* Great app, use it for character names and looking up meanings and origins. It would be great if it would update to iOS 9 and/or iPhone 6 ### 5/5 — Baby names *2015-08-06, version 1.3* I love this app ### 5/5 — Works well, buttload of names *2015-07-26* My wife and I are having twins. Ok, my wife is having twins. Anyways, this app works well. It's free and doesn't bug you with a bunch of pop up garbage. Name lists go all the way back to the early 1900's if you are into Jebediah or Mabel for example. It's a free app for a mobile phone so don't expect it to change your life and you'll be satisfied. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2015-05-14* Helped up with our first son and now on to number 2! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2015-04-26* Love that you can see origins and meanings, and also create lists of favorites. ### 5/5 — Best baby name app *2015-04-09* I love the way it's organized in so many categories!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
