### 4/5 — Great

*2026-04-23, version 1.5*

Great app for tracking babies feeding and nappies. Would be great if there was feature to add up all the time you spent breastfeeding over the months and years. That would be really cool

### 4/5 — Bug - Sleep functionality

*2021-12-14, version 1.5*

Hi Team,
There is a bug in sleep functionality. 
When we start tracking sleep assuming 13th December around 11:00 pm and it stays on for next day 14th December 2:00 am. It enters and add all the sleep data in the 13th December bucket but it should count the time till 13th December 11:59 pm enter it (1 hour) and then enter the remaining in next day i.e, 14th December (remaining 2 hours).
And accordingly reflect the total hours of that day. 
Thank you.

### 4/5 — Meds

*2021-04-02, version 1.5*

Would be great if there was a place to log meds! I’m a babysitter and the baby has to take meds several times a day! Otherwise I love the app! Also a note pad would be great!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-14, version 1.5*

I have had the app for about a week now , and so far I love it !  I do wish they had a option for when medicine is giving to the babies . But beside that I do recommend :)

### 5/5 — Almost 5 stars

*2020-12-31, version 1.5*

This app is very easy to use. We have a 4 month old baby and still breast feed. The only thing so far I don’t like about this app is the fact that it won’t let you save without putting how many oz of milk on either side of the breast the baby had. There’s no way of knowing how much exactly the baby gets during breastfeeding and it can only be measured by time - unless through mechanical pump. Please make some changes. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2020-12-18, version 1.5*

Love this app. Easy to use. Would be lost without it. Just wish it had a part to keep a track for any medicine given, as I always have to write that down to remind myself of the time. Otherwise it’s great for everything else to keep a track of.

### 4/5 — Great but one little thought

*2020-08-27, version 1.5*

Everything is great except I think it will be helpful to have an option to add a short note.

### 5/5 — icloud or account share

*2020-08-21, version 1.5*

love it, missing account share or icloud account somehow so I can share with my partner and other devices

### 4/5 — Medication

*2020-08-05, version 1.5*

Great app but need a medication section to long medication as well

### 5/5 — Great app for Moms!

*2020-05-22, version 1.5*

Great app to track your babies feedings and etc.!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2020-05-09, version 1.5*

I love the user friendliness of this app. This has been so helpful for tracking my babies needs. I have some suggestions to improve the app...1) for the nursing screen, change the R and L on the bra so it mirrors the R & L placement of the user’s boobs. So R would be on the R side of the screen and L on the left when the user is holding the phone in hand and looking at the screen. 2) make the pumping screen similar to the bra (R and L icon). Use the bra to pick R, L or both for pumping and have a timer attached so you can pump and time real time. 3) be able to edit the height and weight screen.

### 5/5 — Tracks everything

*2020-05-07, version 1.5*

I was writing everything down and this took the place of writing it.. tracks how much I pump, how much he eats and the dirty diapers plus more. Love the app.

### 5/5 — Sleep time

*2020-03-03, version 1.5*

Love this app, thanks for making it so simple to use. Would love to see a feature added where you can see the time your baby woke up (not just the time they went to sleep). I love that it tells you in hours/minutes too, I’d just like to see the time also. Would be great to see this in the sleep tab and the overview section. Thanks for making a great app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Just stopped working

*2020-11-20, version 1.5*

After nearly 1 and half years of using this app it stopped working and wouldnt open tried to see if it needed to be updated but didnt had to delete app and re install now lost all my info.  Was great till that happened

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-09-25, version 1.4*

Crashed after adding baby name.. not working

### 3/5 — Add fever or wellness chart

*2023-11-29, version 1.5*

I will change my review once wellness chart is added. I like to track fevers because that helps knowing when a growth spurt might pop up. It would be helpful to have the option to note a fever and when we administer medicine.

### 3/5 — Edit

*2021-03-22, version 1.5*

I have an issue with not being able to remove an entry that I made. I also do not like that I can not have my husband login on his devise under another iCloud account.

### 3/5 — Feedings aren’t updating!

*2020-12-17, version 1.5*

Haven’t had any issues at all with this app and absolutely love it and highly recommend it especially for monitoring and tracking feedings, however recently I’ve noticed even with adding recent feedings the app isn’t updating its time.

### 3/5 — Pretty impressive

*2020-12-06, version 1.5*

Love all of the features the app has to offer. It makes tracking all baby’s daily stats simple. 

(I do wish there was a way to sync info between 2 or more people that are inputting for the same child, so everyone could have the same information simultaneously.)

### 3/5 — Information

*2020-05-06, version 1.5*

I expected the app would tell me if I’m giving the baby the right amount of milk etc.

### 3/5 — Can’t edit

*2020-03-06, version 1.5*

You can’t edit posts once you’ve added them. Otherwise this would be 5 stars

### 3/5 — It’s an ok app

*2019-12-07, version 1.5*

It’s a good app for the basics but it would be great to see a place where you can leave note as in maybe your child was sick had diarrhea or vomiting, just to have some to reflect on if you were to go to the doctors or a section where you can put if you administer medicine

### 3/5 — Export entire data in *.XLSX format

*2019-10-09, version 1.5*

That would be awesome if this app would let me to dump the entire data in Excel format. Or alternatively ask this app to generate some graph instead.

### 5/5 — Great app overall

*2024-07-15, version 1.5*

I downloaded about 10 different baby nursing apps and this one was the better one without having to sign up for an account. Its has basic features but is great and easy to use. 
Would be nice to see a feeding only summary that shows nursing, bottle feeds and solids groups per timeframe. Thanks

### 5/5 — The best

*2023-08-07, version 1.5*

Exactly what I needed for my girls. Simple, easy to use, and without frills.

Stop searching, this is it.

### 5/5 — Just need little note icon

*2023-02-19*

Everything a mom needs to track baby schedule is there. Would teally appreciate, if you guys can add a note option  as well inaddition of Modify so can we can write what baby did today in regards of playing.

### 5/5 — Super handy little app

*2022-04-19*

This app is awesome for recording feeding times and details, and you can stop and start the clock as your wee one feeds and inevitably falls asleep then re-wakes and starts up again. Also good for recording nappies I’m the early days, and then solids later on.

### 5/5 — Good app. Needs some improvements

*2022-02-27, version 1.5*

The app is good. Need few more features. 
1) Please add duration of feed. Moms generally track 2 hours from the end of the feeding and the app shows starting time of breastfeed. This feels like a small thing but at night when you are sleep deprived it might make a big difference. 
2)Please add edit option for the entries. If I enter a wrong category of diapers I don’t have options to edit that. So if I put wet diaper instead of wet and soil there is no way to change it.

### 5/5 — Let us delete false reports!

*2021-11-09, version 1.5*

2 things! 
Let us delete false reports 
Let us change the background app color. 

Love this app! Love it! I would pay to own it, not an annual fee but a one time use! 
Can’t wait to see it for the iPad or with Apple watch support.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-06-23, version 1.5*

I was using another app but later I switched to this app coz it’s so easy to use and accurate . Gives me total oz and hours slept. Worth it. Surprisingly it’s free app.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2021-04-05, version 1.5*

This app is simple and perfect and I appreciate the clean userface without being riddled by ads. It has everything a mom and dad could need for managing infant care, etc.

Edit:

I’m still keeping the 5 star review, however after using this for quite some time now, I think it would be wonderful to add an “activity” button and a way for us to input that activity ourselves. That’s seriously the only thing this is missing. It would be great to track what activities we do in addition to the rest of the tracking the app does.

### 5/5 — I love this app but it would be great if you could add one for medication

*2021-03-22, version 1.5*

I think you need another category so I can log when he has Tylenol or Motrin or is otherwise taking medication’s.

### 5/5 — 🌸🌸🌸💓💓💓💓💓💓

*2021-02-21, version 1.5*

Love this app makes our life much easier to keep track of everything that’s going on with our daughter a big thank to the developers🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸☺️☺️☺️☺️
