Great app

The included Home Screen widget is a quick and easy way to see upcoming events on my iPad and iPhone and Mac. And it has seamless syncing between all of them. I highly recommended.

Perfect for tracking my preemie baby

I was looking for an app to tell me how many weeks and days old my baby is and what her corrected age is. This is perfect for when I need to quickly let healthcare professionals know her age(s) by week. I use the widget too and it’s really handy. A lot of apps don’t count from a date and using weeks and only count up to (like countdown until a special event), this app has been perfect for what I need it for.
