### 2/5 — Fix the data glitches

*2024-12-26*

Here to complain. Loss of data entries has been a lot of strain on our relationship. We will be switching apps

### 1/5 — Randomly Deletes Data

*2024-04-26*

The app would be great if it were reliable. We used it predominantly to track feeding and diaper changes. However, we often ran into issues where it would randomly delete data you added. Sometimes it would delete immediately or sometimes hours later. It was frustrating but we dealt with it. We kept using it religiously for months but randomly the app deleted ALL of our data that we had tracked for 6 months this week. I would have used a different app if I had known there were so many issues. This is a known issue and if you look at the update history, you’ll see that there haven’t been updates in a year so bug fixes aren’t imminent.

### 2/5 — Good app, data gets deleted

*2024-04-24*

The functionality this app offers is great. However, diaper changes and baby feeding will occasionally be deleted by the app. Frustrating, to make it more annoying is reviews have pointed out this bug, but the app has not been updated in over a year.

### 5/5 — Comforting and Informative

*2024-01-21*

Love the simplicity of this app. The information is clear and not overwhelming like the wide open internet. So far, anything I’ve had questions about the Circle app has been able to answer or steer me in the right direction. Love it so much.

### 1/5 — doesn’t save diaper tracker stats sometimes and breast feeding stats

*2023-10-19, version 4.0.1904*

extremely upset because it randomly deletes what i have already tracked and it’s done this multiple times! i am heavily relying on this information so i will have to use a different app

### 3/5 — Convenient but loses data

*2023-09-10*

So nice to have all the trackers, but there’s an issue in the app where it sometimes does not sync the tracker entries. This has happened for me in kick count and diaper trackers. It does not happen all the time, but periodically there will be new entries that do not appear on my other device. There is no indication of an issue after saving the new entries, but on subsequent app launch on the device that saved the entry, 1 or more entries will be gone.

Overall so nice to have everything together. But ultimately, if it’s not reliable then it’s worth using something else for the trackers

### 3/5 — Logs disappear

*2023-06-04*

App is good but constantly the feedings you enter in get deleted so it’s not reliable to know when it’s about time to feed baby again.

### 3/5 — Deleted entries

*2023-05-28*

As much as I want to love this app, there’s nothing more frustrating that saving a bunch of feeding entries to track breast feeding only for them to disappear completely. I added a new entry and then suddenly all the others were gone and this was the only one for the day! Very annoying and makes the app completely useless if it doesn’t actually track.

### 3/5 — Entries in trackers disappear

*2023-05-05, version 4.0.1904*

Helpful app, but my entries keep disappearing in my breast-feeding and diaper tracker.

### 5/5 — A well thought out app housing health info in need

*2023-04-28*

I love the circle app. It’s easy to use. Only displays useful information that pertains to me and it’s a 1 stop shop to answer questions about appointments and locations. It helps make understanding health care stuff easier and more clear.
