### 2/5 — Loses Data

*2022-08-24*

This app could be great and I wish it was. However sometimes the data we enter in the activity tracker disappears. This makes it extremely frustrating if we're trying to track feeding or diapers to report to our pediatrician. We have to move to a different app that is more reliable.

### 2/5 — Great but keeps deleting data

*2022-08-24*

My husband and I both use this app so maybe it’s due to having 2 users, but the app has on multiple occasions lost all the data for the day, which makes it next to useless 😭

### 5/5 — Greatest

*2022-07-30*

Great app, I love it!!

### 2/5 — App doesn’t work

*2022-02-10*

I like the info in the app. But 9 out of 10 times that I go to open it, it won’t open. I end up having to delete it from my phone, download it again and log in to make it work. 
Definitely something needs to be fixed

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2022-01-23*

The app works the first day you install it, then every other time you open it the loading screen shows but the app doesn’t open. The only way to get it to work is to delete the app and redownload it, but it only works for the first day again. I contacted support a couple months ago but it’s still not fixed.

### 2/5 — Rarely works

*2021-12-23*

I love the idea of this app. And when I’ve been able to access it, it’s been great. But it’s stuck on the logo/splash screen 90% of the time. I think I get into it once every three weeks. I wish they’d actually address and fix app availability issues before pushing updates with reported “new features”.

### 1/5 — Never works

*2020-09-23*

Never responds. Constantly freezes. Have shut down my phone, reinstalled the app, and tried to just be patient, but to no avail.

### 1/5 — Nursing tracking always crashes

*2020-02-03*

I want to love this app. But when I was tracking nursing, if I left the app it CONSTANTLY cleared the data, and when I went in to stop the feed, it was gone and I was left wondering what time we started so I could manually enter it. Ended up downloading a different app for tracking newborns.

### 1/5 — Unable to create an account

*2020-01-26*

Button in registration form doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — The update broke the app

*2019-08-12*

This used to be a useful app, but since the update I have never made it past the welcome screen — the app hangs, displays an empty page, etc.
