### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-09-29, version 1.14.2*

I’ve been using this app to organize my doula agenda for three years now and I love it. It’s simple, uncomplicated and sync with my apple calendar, which is great. A suggestion for improvement: when adding a session with a client, it would be great to add the duration of the session as it automatically sets for 1h duration, which is not always the case. Other than that, it’s amazing and I love it! Thank you for creating such a great app and sharing with doulas around the world. :)

### 3/5 — Bug

*2024-08-23, version 1.14.2*

Theres a bug since few weeks, when I add new client and close the app, they disapear automatically:(

### 3/5 — Small improvements needed

*2023-01-29*

I’m excited to use this app for my doula clients. However, needs to sync across devices!  I’m having to enter information on both phone and I pad.  This needs to sync for traveling to clients or hospitals etc.

### 3/5 — Could be a great app

*2022-03-19, version 1.12*

I do like the idea. Shame it doesn’t sync between iPhone and iPad. I use both and can open app on both. But details don’t sync. I don’t want to have to add details twice. Also shame you cannot add docs as I have birth plans in pdf but cannot add. If you can add these details it would be brilliant.

### 1/5 — Apple Pencil doesn't work. w/this

*2021-12-14*

App

### 2/5 — Meh

*2021-03-21, version 1.12*

There are no settings buttons on this app.  It so basic that it’s almost annoying.  There are 3 small dots that look like they would be helpful but it’s just for emergency backup.  Save your money and go for a free business app that actually has features.

### 5/5 — Amazing little app

*2020-03-10, version 1.12*

This is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use, a great way to stay organized in your doula business.

### 4/5 — Great start. Waiting for updates

*2018-07-12*

It is a great start, as I feel this is a new app. There are a few things I would love to see that would make this an amazing app, but it is okay as it is. Maybe other features will be added as time goes by if this is a new app.
I would like to see it sync across devices so I can have it on my phone and iPad.
I would like to have it require a password to open, for client confidentiality purposes.
I would love to be able to attach multiple documents, such as client contract, agreement forms, etc. As it is, you can add a birth plan,  it there are several other forms I would love to attach to keep all client notes and info in one place. I use Microsoft OneNote, and I guess it is okay to have to switch between apps, but it would be nice to include all forms in this app as well.
