Subsequent launch freezes on the intro splash screen then crashes. ———————- Frequent app crashes and freezes. Sometimes doesn’t update activities. The issues have cost it the 2 stars otherwise would have given it 5 stars. I have been a long time paid subscriber (2+ years). The problems have been escalating during the last 6 months. We love the app but may have to discontinue it due to it being unusable most of the time. ### 3/5 — No permite compartir subscripcion *2026-02-22, version 4.8.58* No me permite compartir subscripción, esta característica es esencial. El resto de la app funciona bien ### 4/5 — Great idea, technical problems *2026-01-29, version 4.8.57* The app is great, the implementation of the app is straight forward and the activities and videos very helpful. However, there are some defects that make the app unusable. Any interaction of the user (completing activities, defining difficulty, checking milestones) cannot be saved. I would recommend the app to so many people if these issues where fixed :) ### 2/5 — Great idea and activities but barely works *2026-01-25, version 4.8.57* The idea and activities are great and very helpful but the app has Lots of bugs. Hence, 2 stars. Every 2 days the app doesn’t save the activities that I do and therefore makes the use of app absolutely meaningless. The support replied to me offering a solution that didn’t solve the problem, there was no further response despite my follow-ups. ### 2/5 — Bugs… *2026-01-22, version 4.8.57* Seems to have loads of bugs still - milestones don’t save when you track them, activities don’t save when you mark them as complete. ### 2/5 — App needs update *2026-01-22, version 4.8.57* Great activities. But the app becomes glitchy recently. When I try to tick or save the completed activities, it jumps back to the start and doesn’t save my activities. Can’t track my progress. ### 2/5 — Problem with marking *2026-01-15, version 4.8.57* For a month, I face with the problem of marking both the classes as “just right” and milestones that have reached. I have subscription til march so its a bit annoying. ### 2/5 — Util pero falla *2026-01-07, version 4.8.56* He pagado la version completa pero no registra los logros. Se marcan pero al rato desaparecen y no quedan reflejados. En si me parece una app con muchos recursos, pero pierde la gracia si no puedes llevar un seguimiento. Ojala lo solucionen ### 2/5 — Ruim *2025-12-27, version 4.8.53* No início quando comecei a usar era ótimo. Paguei pela versão paga e começou sumir os checks que eu dou nas atividades do dia e nos marcos de desenvolvimento do meu bebê. Nesse ponto o app é horrível. Não tem assistência. ### 3/5 — Progress through activities disappear *2025-12-22, version 4.8.53* Great app but difficult to keep track of complete activities or milestone updates because it keeps disappearing? ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2025-12-15* Bought annual pass, the app doesn’t work. I add milestones but nothing submits. Also all the workshops and courses are not included in the annual subscription. Activities seem repetitive every day and don’t match my child’s age. **Developer response:** Hi oshkui, we would like to help you to resolve this problem ! please don't hesitate to contact us at support@babysparks.com Have a good day! ### 1/5 — Pobre soporte postventa *2025-10-24, version 4.8.49* Se encuentra pobre soporte postventa. Falta de personalización en la atención para cuentas de usuario, se actualiza la app y al iniciar clases grabadas se sale de la aplicación. Muy mal para ser de pago ya que no es barata. ### 1/5 — Not usable *2025-10-18, version 4.8.49* I used baby sparks for my first child and it was wonderful, about 4 years ago. For my second (now 7 months old), the app has been unusable. It won’t actually let me click into anything even though it’s the latest version and my iPhone is updated. It has been extremely disappointing this time around. I keep hoping it will work and I’ll have the activities and the milestones but I have been let down literally every time. If it works for you, it is amazing but otherwise don’t hold your breath. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-04-24, version 4.8.60* No support for clients and you can not cancel the subscription. ### 1/5 — Paid for Lifetime subscription *2026-04-21, version 4.8.60* I paid for lifetime subscription a few years back. I log on to use it with my second baby and the videos are unavailable. I message customer service and their explanation is that my lifetime subscription is not available anymore. No offer to make it right or anything. ### 1/5 — Pésimo servicio *2026-02-26, version 4.8.58* Pague la suscripción y la aplicación de traba y no me muestra ninguna actividad para realizar con mi bebé Exijo un reembolso ### 1/5 — Glitched app *2026-02-17, version 4.8.58* Compré para un año. No funciona nada, no puedo elegir ninguna actividad diaria ### 1/5 — Falta de Atención Post Venta *2026-02-03, version 4.8.57* Tengo un problema hace más de dos meses, lo reporte con soporte al cliente y no me han dado solución, no puedo usar la aplicación porque simplemente no guarda ningún dato que quiera almacenar ### 1/5 — Activities and vitals are not saved *2026-02-01, version 4.8.57* I was using the app for just 2 months and activities and vitals one day stopped from being saved. I contacted the support but i had no answer after their initial advice to delete and reinstall the app that did’t work ### 1/5 — Avoid *2026-01-29, version 4.8.57* I wanted to love this app. But it doesn’t save progress losing a lot of functionality in the app. I’ve spoken to support and sent a video and further emails asking for updates. There has been no resolution. Save your money and time and use something else. ### 1/5 — Not working anymore *2026-01-27, version 4.8.57* Over the last month or so, the app has stopped working. It no longer saves anything I put in (measurements, milestones,etc) ### 1/5 — Forever Subscribed *2025-12-22, version 4.8.53* I briefly used this app for my kids when they were babies. It was ok but I didn’t keep it. Years later, they send me emails and even though I haven’t had the app in years and repeatedly UNSUSCRIBE, they still send me multiple emails a week. My kids are in upper elementary grades ### 1/5 — Ingreso *2025-11-24, version 4.8.52* Quiero crear una cuenta para la app y me envían al correo un link con error, no se puede acceder ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible tool! *2026-08-14, version 4.8.64* Been using this app daily for five months and it is so helpful with tracking milestones and exercising to reach each one.

It’s been a go-to for my now 4 and 2 YO’s - the monthly what to expect for the babies really helped me stay anchored.
