### 3/5 — Too many bugs for a paid app

*2023-11-27, version 2.3*

Sometimes the feed session doesn’t save
If you need to go in and edit you can’t edit the finish time, it just calculates based on feed time and doesn’t consider the rest and digest period. The reminders often don’t show up on the screen and you have to click it and save it again. It would be good if it showed on the main screen time between feeds. Or had a screen for stats over a day, week etc

### 3/5 — A good start but needs improvement

*2021-06-10*

This is definitely one of the better and cleaner apps when it comes to simply tracking your babies feeds and dirty nappies. 
The interface is easy to understand and not cluttered up, which is what you need at 3am in the morning trying to breastfeed and take note of the time! 
Only thing is that days aren’t broken down in the timeline overview - it’s all one continuous scroll which allows no overview. What you need is at a glance summaries: how many dirty and wet nappies a day, how many feeds for how long.

### 3/5 — Only 1 Baby

*2019-07-25, version 2.3*

Not capable of tracking multiples

### 3/5 — Can’t resume once end accidentally or edit end time

*2018-12-05*

You can only edit the overall feed time which you have to calculate yourself instead of resuming a completed feed if you accidentally end it. Would be good if this was resolved to make the app a 5/5 instead if a 3 which is give it at the mo.

### 3/5 — Beautiful but needs improvement

*2018-10-12, version 2.3*

Beautiful graphically, could have more functionality & has had a few glitches.

Love the simple and beautiful graphic layout.
The left & right indicators are useful and work well. 

Prefer if app told me how many of the last feeds it combines to give the average ? 
It would be helpful to see the time since start of last feed in stored data list, rather than just in the top left as small text that only displays the time since the last feed. 

There is also a little glitch that happens when you “close” or tick a feed say half an hour or an hour later ... it shows that it went for 60 more minutes until you go into that feed and back out and it corrects itself. 

Regularly occurring glitch where when you press the tick button (end / log feed) to return the app home screen and the feed has not been recorded at all.

Another glitch where the feed says the finish time when you press the tick, but then when you go into that recorded feed and back out it corrects itself to say the finish time was when you last pressed pause. Sometimes you forget to press the tick cos you go straight to burping.

### 3/5 — Simple

*2016-10-14, version 1.5*

I love the simplicity of the app. I wish you could log when the baby goes to the bathroom between feedings. Also, I can't input the option that I am using opposite sides to feed every time. If these two functions were available I'd give it 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Good design

*2016-09-22, version 1.5*

I need the sleep timer on other apps.

Pros of this app:
-Well-designed
-Simple and attractive interface
-baby photo
-time to next feeding feature
-silent alarm
-editable entries

Cons:
-(I need a sleep timer also, and this app doesn't have it)

Suggestion: 
Since everyone seems to love the uncluttered look of the app, but some people need more features, it might be great to have "track more" in the options, so you can add a tracker for pumping, sleeping, vitamins, growth--whatever you need. And people who don't need them can leave just the feeding tracker.)

### 2/5 — Crashes nonstop!

*2016-09-10, version 1.5*

I've been obsessed with this app for two weeks now without a single negative thing to say about it. Now it crashes every other time I open it, and sometimes won't open at all!

### 2/5 — Easy app but crashes all the time

*2016-07-17, version 1.5*

This app is the easiest I've used for keeping track of nursing sessions, but after a month or so of use I always have to delete it and re-download it because it stops working. So I lose all my data all the time. If they could fix the bug, I would definitely give it more stars. But it's very annoying.

### 3/5 — Stopped working

*2016-02-17*

I used this app religiously for my first son. Now 2 years later I am using it for my newborn daughter, but for some reason it crashes everytime I try to add a new entry. I've been hoping for a fix but have not seen any recent updates. Also, it cannot reset profiles, so I am using my son's profile to keep track of my daughter's feedings. Overall it was working beautifully until it stopped, and I don't think it's my phones fault, just a glitch in the app. Had to go to another program.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2016-02-13, version 1.5*

Is great but updates versions keep crashing and becomes unusable.

### 3/5 — Was working so well now won't stop crashing when I need it to work

*2016-01-25, version 1.5*

:(

### 2/5 — Won't load

*2016-01-16, version 1.5*

Loved this app for baby #1 but have had difficulties with #2...whenever I want to add a feed it just cuts out and goes back to my home screen as if the app was never opened.  I've turned phone off and on, reloaded app etc.  I'm bummed because I really liked it.  Hopefully this can be resolved.

### 2/5 — Would be perfect if it worked all the time

*2015-12-13*

I love honestly love this app and think it's extremely user friendly. The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 5 is because every couple of months, the app stops working for several days. I will try to log a new feeding session and when I hit the +, it kicks me out of the app. This lasts for 3-4 days and happens every 2-3 months. I depend heavily on this app but it is unreliable.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wasted.99 cent to be clueless

*2021-09-23, version 2.3*

Hard to understand

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-11-12, version 2.3*

Would not recommend this app. It’s very glitchy - will just delete feeds regularly or record them multiple times.

### 1/5 — DON'T BUY!!!!!!

*2017-03-12, version 1.5*

Terrible app, doesn't work, keeps resetting to default settings.

### 1/5 — Support???

*2016-09-05*

App crashes when trying to load the feeding input page so that we can no longer use it to record the baby's feedings.  It worked fine for a week: great, simple-to-use user interface.  Then it started crashing.  Try it again and it'd work a few more times but then it'd crash again.   Now the input page doesn't work at all.  Close it, restart it... still the same crashing problems.  Delete it and reload could "solve the problem" but at the cost of all the data collected being lost?  No updates since 2013?  Haven't heard back from support yet.  Want to know how to get money back.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2016-06-25, version 1.5*

Horrible. Always crashing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it's okay for a few weeks but then starts crashing again. I just downloaded a different feeding tracker app and deleted this one forever

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-04-01, version 1.5*

This app was great until it started crashing! Can't open it at all!!!! So upset. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — App stopped working

*2016-03-14, version 1.5*

The app stopped working entirely after 3 weeks or so. It would crash every time I tried to enter a new feeding, rendering it completely useless. The shame was it was very helpful before and I used it day and night. Wish I could give it a higher rating.

### 1/5 — Crashes!

*2015-12-09, version 1.5*

Good app when it works but crashes too often

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2015-12-05, version 1.5*

The app itself is easy to use, but it crashes all the time!! I have had to go as far as deleting the app and reinstalling it, losing all of my data. It's very frustrating. I would not purchase this app again.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing!

*2015-11-13*

I bought this app a month ago because it looked the easiest to record and monitor and for the first month has been great, simple to use and follow. But now it won't let me record any more feeds!!! So I've had to use another.

### 5/5 — Ella

*2019-07-12, version 2.3*

This is a great app for tracking breastfeeding. It’s simple, clear and easy to use. You can check when the last feed was and what side you used last used in a quick glance. The feature that predicts when your next feed is likely to be is also quite helpful, especially if your baby is pretty predictable.  Of all the apps I have tried out this is the one I would recommend to anyone wanting to easily keep track of their feeds!

### 5/5 — The best

*2019-07-09, version 2.3*

I’ve tried 4 or 5 other apps to track my baby’s feedings, and this one is definitely my favorite!

### 5/5 — Breastfeeding tracker is the best!

*2018-09-14, version 2.3*

This breast feeding app is so easy to use! I love the predictions for next feed. And it’s beautifully designed. The breastfeeding timer is so easy to use and works great at night.

### 5/5 — Update to 11.0

*2017-10-04*

When are the plans for an update?

Any time soon?

### 5/5 — So easy

*2017-09-08, version 1.5*

I loved this app with my son in 2013 and I love it with my second boy now. It's so easy to use especially at night when you're super tired.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2016-07-03, version 1.5*

This app makes keeping track of breastfeeding really easy! Recommended!

### 5/5 — Simple! Used with both kids

*2016-06-01*

I've used this app now with both my boys. It is simple and easy to use for a sleep deprived parent. I LOVE the "estimated next feeding" feature!! 
It has some crash issues, but after comparing other apps I came back to this one for baby 2.  
I wish the "pause" and "resume" we're different colors. At 3 am it's hard to read clearly sometimes.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-03-14*

I have been using this nursing app for the past month and loving it. It's easy and simple other apps had too much on the screen for a new tired mom.  Wish they had this for my first son! I can quickly see which side I need to nurse on and how long it has been.

UPDATE: Using this now for my 3rd baby. I like other reviewers would love some statistics: average # of minutes nursing, each side, BM and wet diapers a day, even a bar chart that shows lengths between feelings would help mom's understand when baby is eating and sleeping. 

It's been a few years since the last update!! Please update ASAP. This mommy would appreciate it!

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect.

*2015-07-26, version 1.5*

I wanted a simple app that was only a breastfeeding log.  I also wanted the ability to log feedings later, an at-a-glance page to see all recent feedings, and a streamlined, attractive design.  This is the only app I've found that fits the bill.  I love it!

### 5/5 — Lovin it!! Highly recommend

*2015-01-30*

I love this app!! I would recommend this to any new mama. Here is what I love: simple and quick to use, no wasted time, intuitive, note section allows for additional tracking, looks great and you can personalize by adding a photo of your babe.
