Sadly this app by the CDC is very basic and inadequate. I didn’t learn anything new and can’t recommend this app. ### 2/5 — Too by the book *2025-12-14, version 3.0.1* It doesn’t look like this app has personalized profile even when you put corrected age. Very confusing setup, no helpful information about what milestones baby might have and their timeframe. ### 3/5 — Helpful but needs updated *2025-12-07, version 3.0.1* helpful, but none of the YouTube videos work anymore, they stopped working a few months ago and I really wish they’d fix that bc it was super helpful to see them ### 2/5 — Under 5 years only *2025-08-25* It’s such a shame it doesn’t go up to 18 years old, but it’s not too bad for under 5 years… covers basics ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-06-28* I recommend this app to everyone with littles. It is a wonderful tool to use in tracking children’s developmental progress and get organized to talk with their doctor about concerns, which leads to better care. I wish more people knew about this app. It gets even more informative and useful as more videos and pictures are uploaded! Thankful for this app! ### 5/5 — Well done *2025-06-04, version 2.6.2* This is the one website that works and that you don’t have to pay for your child’s schedule keeping. ### 5/5 — Milestone tracker *2025-05-11, version 2.6.2* Numerous resources at your fingertips! Thank you! ### 5/5 — 10/10 recommend!!!! *2025-04-14, version 2.6.2* This app is a lifesaver for keeping up with my child’s progress. I wish I found this app sooner! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-02-24, version 2.6.2* Great app to track milestones and create centralized location for me to track notes to prep for doctors appointments. ### 5/5 — Elizabeth Ann Black *2025-02-17, version 2.6.2* Teacher Karen Rodriguez, this is such a great idea to ensure Matty is on t’as with his milestones. ### 5/5 — Recomendada 100% *2025-01-21, version 2.6.2* Me encanta esta app cumple muy bien con sus funciones para hacer la vida de las mamas mas tranquila y llevadera ! ### 5/5 — It’s a very good app *2025-01-18, version 2.6.2* I love this app ### 3/5 — Good *2024-12-29, version 2.6.2* I like how I can keep track but I don’t like the layout ### 5/5 — ¡Encantada! *2024-12-28, version 2.6.2* Excelente aplicación para ayudar a los padres a estar pendientes del desarrollo de nuestros pequeños y estar atentos para poder actuar rápido. ¡Muy satisfecha! ### 5/5 — Good Resource *2024-12-05* When I was a Pre-K teacher I used the CDC website to help with age appropriate activities for lesson planning. Know I use it with my 4month old twins. It’s been very help since I’m a busy in office working mom, I’m able to keep track of their milestones and jot down any questions I may have for their pediatrician for upcoming check-ups. ### 5/5 — Really helpful and focused *2024-11-30, version 2.6.2* Covers the basics with examples ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not helpful for infant measurements *2025-05-11, version 2.6.2* Weight is only in whole lbs. Not kilograms like a doctor uses, or lbs/oz. Doesn’t allow decimals either ### 1/5 — NEVER stops asking for feedback! *2025-01-11, version 2.6.2* Good application but it NEVER stops asking for feedback and reviews, even after I select stop asking. ### 1/5 — It’s ok. *2025-01-10, version 2.6.2* No month to month milestones ### 1/5 — Start to a great app *2024-05-18* This app has such great potential. I would love to have more data views and lists to check etc. It needs a bit more depth, to fully realise its concept. ### 1/5 — No text descriptions of milestones *2023-03-15, version 2.4* There are no text descriptions. I really prefer not to watch videos constantly and feel they take more time and are less informed than text descriptions of milestones. ### 1/5 — Redesign killed the app *2022-10-08, version 2.3* It used to be a nice and simple app that provided me the information I needed in one click. Now I need to sign up, register my baby, etc. I just deleted the app instead and went to their website where I can read the milestones without all the extra steps. ### 1/5 — Most of the reference videos don’t work *2022-03-01* Most of the reference videos that have been included to give examples of what each milestone should look like, do not work. ### 1/5 — Why? *2022-02-21, version 2.1* Why is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the governing voice for our children and not the American Academy of Pediatrics? And why is the CDC revising the developmental milestones of children to fit the mask wearing agenda and vaccine control of big pharma? Parents, wake up and pay attention! ### 1/5 — Good concept... bad execution *2021-07-10, version 2.1* Can cause unnecessary worry, yes missing milestones should be monitored and intervened if needed but wording needs to be more sensitive and in some cases it might not be as urgent as it is made to seem. At regular appts is fine to discuss. ### 1/5 — Too aggressive *2021-04-16, version 2.0* Lists milestones above child’s age!! Made me paranoid til I looked at other sources ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very resourceful find *2026-08-11* The best for it’s category I think and reliable sourced information. Happy with it! ### 5/5 — An easy app to keep track of milestones *2026-01-05, version 3.0.1* I have used this with both my children to keep an eye on milestones. It is a super easy app with videos of examples. It is also helpful to review what to be looking for and things to work on. ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-12-22, version 3.0.1* App is great for guidelines and child development. Definitely helps with addressing conversations to bring up with pediatrician. Some of the videos don’t work, but a lot of of them do and show good examples for what is expected and what the action should look like. ### 5/5 — Excellent choice to track milestones *2025-12-02, version 3.0.1* This is a great app, highly recommend (it’s ad free!). ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-11-30, version 3.0.1* Great for keeping organized and understanding the factors in my child’s development. ### 5/5 — Great guidance *2025-10-28* This app has been so helpful with my baby who was born 6 weeks early. No other app I have used compares. This helps to guide me through the milestones she should be hitting at her adjusted age, versus seeing the milestones she would have hit without being a preemie. I have really enjoyed using this app. ### 5/5 — Must have milestone tracker *2025-09-25, version 3.0.1* This is an excellent app that shows you with videos, the milestones your kid should accomplish. It’s very important to identify any concerns early. Grateful to have this tool that was developed by CDC experts ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-09-13, version 3.0.1* I love this app it helps me keep track of what my baby can do ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-03, version 2.6.2* I love this app it’s very educational and helpful for parents 💕 ### 5/5 — Best tracker out there *2025-08-26, version 2.6.2* This app is ten times better than any of the paid apps or apps with a product behind it that I’ve downloaded. It has been so helpful to me on this journey. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
