I trusted that it would be helpful since the book is good however I was really let down. This is a waste of money! If your baby isn’t meeting all the requirements they think they should be meeting it won’t even go to the next screen to help you. If my baby were already napping 1.5 to 2 hours I wouldn’t need help! So angry I paid for thus junk! ### 1/5 — They should put a tracker on this app *2018-12-15, version 1.2.0* I love Babywise but I could use a sleep tracker. I downloaded a divergent app to track my baby’s sleep feed wale pattern and I regret buying this thing because I already have the books and I don’t need anymore advice. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2018-07-05, version 1.2.0* The book says to get the app to help address sleep issues, I did and it won’t let me go on because my baby doesn’t sleep 8 hrs at night. How the hell does that help? I want to write - thank you I’m aware my child doesn’t sleep through the night because as a parent I failed to create a sleep pattern because I tried to also have a life and a child and now I’m struggling but here is $1.99 for nothing. ### 1/5 — Repeated information *2018-06-27, version 1.2.0* Provides a quick summary of what’s in the Babywise book, so if you haven’t read the book this might be helpful but is by no means a smart app. For example after choosing the age of my baby (10 wks) in its step by step process to “solve” nap issue, one of the reasons listed for waking early from nap was that she “needs more calories from solid foods”. What 10 wk old is eating solids? Also, the same reasons for waking early are listed every time (growth spurt, needs more calories, sleep-eat-wake schedule off, etc) Save your money and read the book instead and troubleshoot yourself. ### 1/5 — Waste of money if you own the book *2018-05-20, version 1.2.0* This app didn’t give anymore help or info than what is in the book. My baby wakes 30-45 min into a nap from burp or gas. He releases it but then won’t go back to sleep. So do I start feed wake sleep cycle? Put him down to cry it out? Rock him back to sleep? I know the problem but what I was hoping to find was how to fix it! How do I get him to not need to burp or pass gas 45 minutes in? He’s 3 months and had done this since day 1. ### 1/5 — This app should be free *2018-04-30, version 1.2.0* This was a waste of money!! Very basic, very vague information and not helpful at all. If you have the book you definitely do not need this app. I assumed there would be some kind of nap schedule on here to follow like the book.. but it has nothing of the sort. If you are looking for a nap schedule- download moms on call. Very disappointed as I have enjoyed the book very much but this app should be free or they need to add more stuff to it. ### 1/5 — Exact same as book *2018-03-24, version 1.2.0* Don’t get this app. Exact same info as book. It doesn’t give you exact info just lists all the reasons why your baby may be waking up just like it says in the book. ### 1/5 — Don't buy if you have the book *2018-01-14, version 1.2.0* There is nothing different in the app than what the book says. If you have the book, don't waste your money on the app. Not helpful at all. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2017-04-03, version 1.1.0* I wish I could get my money back. This app is totally useless and offers no information that can be used. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2016-11-10, version 1.1.0* This app is not worth a dime! It gives no useful information and the little quiz is a few questions. If you do not answer question three with all three checks it immediately stops and says your baby has not reached all the milestones and will not go further. ### 1/5 — Do not waste your money! *2016-10-25, version 1.1.0* This is a basic list of contents with no original or useful "app" features--I wish I would have read the reviews before purchasing. ### 1/5 — Not helpful - no detailed or specific advice *2016-07-25, version 1.1.0* Don't waste you money on this app. ### 1/5 — Wish I could have my $2 back. *2016-07-21, version 1.1.0* This app is virtually worthless. It runs you through a self repeating algorithm. If your baby isn't already sleeping 7-8 hrs a night, or if your baby isn't on a strict 2.5-3 hour feeding schedule, the algorithm simply takes you back to step 1 and tells you that your baby hasn't met certain "baby wise milestones." ### 1/5 — Rip off *2016-06-06, version 1.1.0* This app provides nothing worth the cost of the app. :/ I was very disappointed to have wasted my money... It has very little use ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-05-03, version 1.1.0* Please don’t waste your money. It just gives you the same huge, wide-ranging list of reasons for your nap problems that you just finished reading in the book, leaving you more confused, frustrated, and now out $1.99. ### 1/5 — Do Not Purchase - Especially if you own the book *2016-02-01, version 1.1.0* I have loved the book, and thought this app (which they reference in the book) would be a great additional resource. This only gave the exact same information as what is in the book. Do not spend the additional money. ### 1/5 — Not worth it! *2015-09-18, version 1.1.0* I followed Baby Wise for my 10 month old daughter and she has always been a great sleeper on a great schedule. She has recently regressed in her naps, so I was looking for something to help me solve the issue. The app does not provide any more information than what's in the book and is extremely basic. If you follow Baby Wise, just refer to the book and don't waste your money on the app! ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2015-05-05, version 1.1.0* Lame. That's all this ap is. It's a waste of money so don't buy it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What a joke *2022-07-26, version 1.3* The book makes it sound like this app provides a tailored (or more targeted understanding) of your nap challenges. It is word for word what is in the book. Provides no additional value. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money at all *2022-01-12, version 1.3* A serious waste of money. I bought it, downloaded it, opened it, it asks a few questions which basically lead into a brick wall with a “solution” that is vague and totally not helpful. ### 1/5 — Horrible SCAM *2021-05-27, version 1.3* Worst app ever. Provides zero info. No way to track naps, and has three tabs of a few lines of info. Love the book - the app is a waste and I can’t believe they charge for this. ### 1/5 — Very unhelpful *2020-12-30, version 1.3* Gives you every reason your baby could be waking up from naps... every reason you’ve probably already thought of and tried as a mom. So, extremely unhelpful. Just tells you where your baby should be at without how to get there. ### 1/5 — Terrible. Don’t buy this. *2020-08-16, version 1.3* This app doesn’t do anythingggggg. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Worst app EVER *2020-03-09, version 1.2.0* This app offers no advice, no support, and meaningless jargon in three slides. Don’t waste your money. But the book, join the Facebook group, and you’ll do great! ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-02-19, version 1.2.0* This app doesn’t do anything. It’s the same information as the book. Very unhelpful and misleading. Do not waste your $1.99. ### 1/5 — Same as book *2019-09-24, version 1.2.0* Same thing as the book, save the $2 for a coffee. ### 1/5 — Pointless App *2019-05-22, version 1.2.0* This app gives you no new information that’s not already in the Babywise book. Nor does it help you track nap times, “solve” nap challenges or keep a schedule. Don’t waste your $2! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2019-02-07, version 1.2.0* Same info as book, doesn’t help give me any more idea of what my baby needs than reading the book. I want my money back ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Babywise Nap App review *2017-10-25, version 1.2.0* What a great App, it really is simple to use and provides such useful information to help solve the issues I was having. Plus I can see where it will help in possibly preventing future nap challenges. ### 5/5 — Quick Guide to supplement a great book!! *2014-02-03, version 1.1.0* App is an excellent quick guide to reference when you need it! Sometimes it's just easier to find the help you need in times of desperation as quickly as possible and this app does that! So glad that my friends and family and husband have access to what my twins entire day is based. Will be great for them to have access to when I have to return to work! Awesome book and an awesome app!! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2012-04-05, version 1.0.0* Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app, very practical *2012-04-04, version 1.0.0* Love it and wish I had this when my kids were little! Will definitely point people here as a follow up to Babywise principles. ### 5/5 — Great supplement to a great book *2012-03-22, version 1.0.0* Just entered some info and was very impressed at how accurately is found solutions to nap issues! Great app! ### 5/5 — Babywise Q&A *2012-03-21, version 1.0.0* Quick answers anytime!! This is so helpful! ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2021-02-07, version 1.3* This app doesn’t really have any functionality other than a checklist and a few bullets that you can easily find online. The material is from their book but doesn’t put it in a different context for an app. It really felt like a money grab to charge for this and I wish I wouldn’t have fallen for paying for it. ### 2/5 — Waste of money *2012-06-07, version 1.1.0* If your baby isn't sleeping through the night or taking 1.5-2 hour long naps this app isn't applicable. It doesn't give suggestion on how to fix those things. Go to the blog Chronicles of a Babywise Mom for much more detailed answers to your problems. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
