The bigger issue is to do with syncing: the app requires payment once you have so many entries - you have to pay on each one of your devices! The payment doesn’t sync across the devices! Doubt I’ll be using this app anymore due to these difficulties. ### 4/5 — Useful for one carer *2017-12-17, version 1.8.14* I like how I can edit each different input and everything I want to input is available. However, it would be more practical if there was an account and more than one user could use so, for example, my husband can enter in too. ### 2/5 — Functional on 1 phone but poor syncing *2017-09-30, version 1.8.14* Pros: 1) functional features 2) easy to use & intuitive Cons: 1) no longer syncing on multiple devices 2) poor customer service. I have emailed several times over the course of 8 months and have not had a single reply. 3) no updates for routine fixes/iOS compatibility Overall Impressions: Easy to use app that makes baby tracking a breeze. Easy to share information across multiple family members and caregivers so that there's no question when baby needs to eat or nap. Now it will no longer sync. I think it may be because it's not compatible w the new IOS but I am not certain bc no one has bothered to reply to my emails. So after purchasing this app to use on 5 devices, I will just have to find a new one. ### 5/5 — Excellent for twins!! *2017-05-23, version 1.8.14* (Updated) This app is still awesome. My twins are almost 3 now and I still use it to track their sleep. It's helpful to have such a clear sense of their nap and bedtime sleep routine. This data helped us have solid information for our pediatrician and it turned out that 1 of our twins had sleep apnea. This app allowed me to share actual sleep data with our ENT to help diagnose him. (Original review-2015) As a Mom of twins, it is very challenging to find apps & tools that are not limited to singleton parents. This app works great for multiple children & it tracks everything you need for your daily routine & pediatrician. My only suggestion is to add a feature that tracks time between feeds... Otherwise, this app is AWESOME & very thorough. ### 2/5 — OkAy *2017-04-28, version 1.8.14* It's good for three days then they want to charge you ### 5/5 — Great baby app!! *2017-04-26, version 1.8.14* I love this app for recording feeding. But also for recording those special moments that my baby brain would probably have caused me to forget otherwise. ### 5/5 — 刚开始用，感觉还不错 *2017-03-16* 想提个建议对于初次使用的，希望能在初次使用时，提供一个使用攻略，自己摸索着用，刚刚使用的我现在还不知道怎么删除记错的记录 ### 5/5 — The best app *2017-01-28, version 1.8.14* I tried several apps to track breastfeeding and this one is by far the best one. You can track breastfeeding, sleep, diapers, ... You can add the data after if you forgot to do it or correct them. It makes automatically statistics so you can make sure your baby is feeding and sleeping properly. It works like a diary as you can put pictures and add notes about baby's day. I love this app and use it daily. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2017-01-17, version 1.8.14* It has everything you need! And now it syncs with other apple devices! It's great. Have used it on two kids and will continue to! ### 5/5 — 好用 *2017-01-04* 宝宝出生后时刻都需要记录，在手机上记录是比较理想的，毕竟现在都是手机不离手。对比了多个类似的应用，这个应用分类最理想，其中不少细节都做得很过心，比如说记录便便还会有个换尿布时尿尿的选项。试用起来还是有些不太顺手，需要多试几次才能熟练上手。另外界面还是不够简洁漂亮，希望能够改进 ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2017-01-04, version 1.8.14* Great app! So helpful..would def recommend it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 有同步功能嗎？ *2024-03-10, version 1.8.14* 有同步功能嗎？ ### 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. ### 1/5 — Worked about four years ago *2018-07-17, version 1.8.14* Now it refuses to sync via Dropbox. For us, being able to use it on multiple phones was the key feature, so this app is useless now. It did work for our first child about four years ago. We had assumed we would use it now for our second, but no such luck. Given a few other reviews saying similar things, I’m guessing this app has been abandoned by its developer. ### 1/5 — Charged $6.99 and then charged again! *2018-06-27, version 1.8.14* I accidentally upgraded to the full version when exploring baby apps to track feedings, diaper changes, etc. Figured I’d make the most of it and try to use it. At first, found to be non-intuitive but eventually got the hang of it. By then, had already emailed requesting Apple refund but request denied. Now while logging, I see I’m prompted to buy the full version again as my ‘free version’ entries are quickly making out. How can this be? I just checked my credit card where the original charge is still there and a refund was never requested! Please fix this ASAP! ### 1/5 — 忽然用唔到 *2017-11-16, version 1.8.14* 忽然用唔到 Connect 唔到Dropbox! ### 1/5 — Don't purchase if you want to use on multiple devices *2017-11-10, version 1.8.14* Won't sync between multiple devices so worthless if you want to sync between both parents phones. Customer service won't respond on how to fix the issue, I think the developers of this app are done with it. Waste of $10. Save your money and don't purchase. ### 1/5 — Won't sync, deleted all my data *2016-04-08, version 1.8.14* Seriously I'm so frustrated right now. I was trying to get this to sync across multiple devices. Created a profile to sync to and it just wouldn't show up on any other devices. Somehow in the process I managed to overwrite 10 days of meticulously collected data and revert to the day that I first created the profile. What an utter waste of time, trying to punch data into this app instead of just enjoying time with my newborn. What did the app reveal? I was taking good care of him and didn't need a stupid app to tell me that. Deleted and will never use again. ### 1/5 — 不方便 *2015-09-28, version 1.8.14* 不好用 ### 1/5 — Pointless for multiples *2015-01-12, version 1.8.10* The app is very feature rich. But there is a glaring problem. You can add more than one kid, but you can't keep time simultaneously which is pretty pointless. I have twins and they at nearly the same time. So I can't keep time for each one. ### 2/5 — 衹能用3天就要收錢,浪費時間! *2018-03-25, version 1.8.14* 衹能用3天就要收錢,浪費時間! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Excellent help *2018-09-29, version 1.8.14* Started with the free version. I have 6 kids who love helping with the baby. I needed to keep track of his feedings and sleep. I tried 4 baby tracking apps, and this was the best. I upgraded after a week because I loved it so much!!! It has helped at doctor appts, too. And I can figure out when he is going through growth spurts by his feeding schedule. What an amazing app!!! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great, easy to use *2017-11-22, version 1.8.14* The 100 use trial is a great way to test this out with no strings attached. I purchased this because it's incredibly simple to use, helps answer those Doctor questions (we're going on 4 hrs sleep, how the h*ll am I suppose to remember how many diapers I've changed), and helps us figure out why she's fussy on oddball nights (too little sleep, too much, too hungry, etc). Great tool for the tech-focused millennial parent. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-10-24, version 1.8.14* The best tracking app!!! ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-09-02, version 1.8.14* Worth paying for the upgrade. Once get the hang of the menus it's quick and easy to use and a god send instead of remembering how long since last feed. Great graph for looking at patterns of feeding and nappies. I don't use half the functionality just feeding and nappy change. Can set up so 2 people can have on phone by syncing by Dropbox which is good as data not sent anywhere but your own storage. Great app, only found it after baby was 3 weeks old, wish we had it from birth as would be great to track more info. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
