### 1/5 — 有同步功能嗎？

*2024-03-10, version 1.8.14*

有同步功能嗎？

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2022-07-20, version 1.8.14*

This is a must have app for newborns. Has been so helpful in relaying information to doctors to see trends and patterns in sleeping, feeding, toilet. Also has been a lifesaver in recording milestones which I’ve been meaning to do in my journal and just never get around to it. It allows you to upload a picture and leave a note associated with milestone. Truly a great app I’ve come across and will be recommending to friends and family who have new editions arriving earthside shortly.

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2019-12-29, version 1.8.14*

Very easy and simple to use it

### 5/5 — Great app for newborn days!!!

*2019-05-14, version 1.8.14*

Easy to accurately track feedings, diapers, sleeping trends and growth! Easy report to share at check ups and it’s always with you. I upgraded to the full version and think it's worth the money for the convenience. I used this 3 years ago and now again with our newest addition and I’m still very happy with the app!!

### 3/5 — 不錯

*2019-05-09, version 1.8.14*

不錯

### 1/5 — I am not able to retrieve back my database

*2019-03-09, version 1.8.14*

I changed my phone but I am not able to retrieve using the cloud backup. No support no response. Nothing.

### 3/5 — 东西很好但是换手机了怎么同步数据呢

*2019-02-15*

直接可以注册账号不是更方便吗 搞那么复杂 又没有客服 邮箱也没有 反馈也不行 也是醉了

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-12-14, version 1.8.14*

Great resource!

### 5/5 — Photo Journal Sets Apart

*2018-11-06, version 1.8.14*

The tracking capabilities are perfect. What sets this apart though is the integrated exportable/printable photo journal!! I’ve used with both kiddos and have beautiful journal keepsakes. Plus, it was great to reference kid one milestones once we had kid two. Highly recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2018-10-09, version 1.8.14*

I used this app with my first child (4years ago). I have come back to it with my 2nd because it was exactly what I needed then and now. I love this app and recommend it!
