### 3/5 — Great but

*2026-03-23, version 3.19.3*

I switched to this app after another app failed. I have a lifetime subscription so I don’t see ads. It’s easy to use but I am so tired of their breast pump ad. Every week when I open the app it takes me to their sale page where I have the opportunity to buy their pump for $169.99. Every. Week. I’ve been using this app for over a year. If I was truly interested in their pump I would have bought it by now. It is super annoying. 
All of their apps are linked so when I had notifications turned on I would get spammed 4 times with the exact same messages. Yes I’ve gone into each app and double-checked to see what notifications I have. It’s got so bad I had to turn them off. 
As for the app itself it seems to run onto problems if you add a second caregiver who has their own phone and version of the app. Things get entered but don’t stick. Or the other caregiver doesn’t have a sub so they see ads all the time even though their account is linked to yours. Overall not a great system but it works most of the time but not all the time.

### 3/5 — Stop asking if I want to purchase breast pumps

*2025-12-29, version 3.19.3*

The app is great for tracking, but I’m bombarded with pop ups and notifications about purchasing their breast pumps. I already have two breast pumps from different brands so I don’t need another one. I’m also an exclusively pumping mom, so every time I log a pump I get a pop up ad for their pumps. It’s incredibly annoying to the point where I’m considering using another app. Please make an option to stop being asked about the pumps for those who went with other brands.

### 2/5 — App quits while logging

*2025-12-15, version 3.19.3*

This app constantly quits and loses data in the middle of trying to log. Not user friendly for an app that is supposed to be used FOR LOGGING.

### 3/5 — Ads and upsells even when you pay

*2025-11-18, version 3.19.3*

The app has served my partner and I well, but it’s clear the company is trying to squeeze more revenue wherever they can find it. I recommend the app but don’t be surprised to see full screen ads for hardware even after you pay.

### 3/5 — 🚨 Critical UX Flaw: Forced “Insights” Pop-Ups Block Data Entry After Every Log

*2025-11-13, version 3.19.3*

Issue Summary:
Whenever you log a new data point (feeding, diaper, sleep, etc.), the app automatically triggers “Insights” pop-ups that overlay the screen. This design flaw temporarily blocks user interaction, preventing you from scrolling or adding new entries until the insight card disappears.

Impact:
This disrupts workflow and causes unnecessary friction for users who need to log multiple entries quickly—especially when tracking a newborn’s activities in real time.

Request:
Please remove or provide an option to disable automatic “Insights” pop-ups after each log entry so users can continue inputting data without interruption.

### 3/5 — App is good

*2025-11-10, version 3.19.3*

Only use the growth feature at this point. Way too many ads

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-11-06, version 3.19.3*

Good app, it’s a bit pricey.

### 4/5 — Add gas and rashes to the symptoms

*2025-11-01, version 3.19.2*

Otherwise great app.

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-10-27, version 3.19.2*

Good app to tract bottles and foods etc. but it interlines with a period app as well

### 3/5 — It’s great at first but….

*2025-10-24, version 3.19.2*

You only get so many logs a day. You cannot use more logs unless you pay $60 a year just for yourself not for the family plan. Personally i think that’s outrageous with how the economy is now a day.

### 4/5 — Would recommend

*2025-10-23, version 3.19.2*

This app has been so helpful with keeping track of when bub was fed to how often the nappies are changed, and also the total hours bub has slept during the day.
I would definitely recommend this app to other people. It’s also great for when you go through the stages of baby brain fog as it can assist with keeping track for you.

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2025-10-21, version 3.19.2*

Glow Baby was reliable when my wife and I were having issues with the Huckleberry app. It allowed us to not miss a thing and continue logging all essentials.

### 5/5 — Everything in one widget

*2025-10-13, version 3.19.1*

Other apps just weren’t giving me the customization I was looking for. This app has a great widget that lets me see exactly what I want, I chose Bottle, pumping, diaper, sleep. So now I can just click to start the timer or add them all from my homes screen. Also the pattern chart is fantastic, I love being able to see a consistency forming with our little guy, gives me peace of mind.

### 1/5 — No monthly plan

*2026-06-02, version 3.19.3*

The app is forcing you to buy annual subscription when I just need for a few months

### 1/5 — Just a shop essentially

*2026-03-11, version 3.19.3*

Being a FTM, I wanted to get a tracker for my baby’s progress and signed up for Glow Baby. I opted for the free trial with automatic annual payment - I wish I had cancelled it soon enough. 

The amount of notifications to the Glow Baby Shop items is insane- even attempting switching them off doesn’t do anything. I have little interest in buying more items, but especially not from an app that sends 2+ unnecessary shop notifications a day.

For my initial goal to track my baby’s progress, this app fails.

### 1/5 — Leider nur Chats

*2026-01-20*

Leider kann ich nirgends die Sachen eintragen so wie auf den Bildern zu sehen sind. Das einzige was mir angezeigt wird, sind Chats und Gruppen vieler Themen. Dafür war die App für mich aber nicht gedacht. Ich wollte den Schlaf etc. Tracken. Leider nicht möglich.

### 1/5 — Heading in wrong direction.

*2026-01-19, version 3.19.3*

Don’t like the new trend of mining/and asking irrelevant data to resell. I’m already a paying customer…

### 1/5 — Nothing works

*2025-11-29, version 3.19.3*

Paid $90, stuck in a loop of trying to log in and use the app. Even after paying $90, the app requires that I provide my insurance information so that their partners can reach out to me with offers….. not a fan

### 1/5 — Charging for subscription, and then forcing you to give your information to sell

*2025-10-18, version 3.19.1*

Do not use this - they charge you for a years subscription, and then force you to give your address AND INSURANCE INFORMATION to their partners so they can make even more money off you. Huge ripoff and scam.

### 1/5 — Im too dumb to use this

*2025-10-15, version 3.19.1*

I dont want a social media app, i want to track my baby! Not sure how to use this, not at all self explanatory

### 1/5 — Practically unusable without paying for the upgraded version

*2025-10-03, version 3.19.1*

We used this app with prior children but coming back to it with child #3 it was a terrible experience and I gave up completely and deleted my account. The entire experience is inundated with ads making it difficult to navigate. It’s too busy visually. The free version has an upper limit of activities you can log in one day (it’s 32; if you’re logging every feeding, pumping, diaper change and nap you will hit that wall very quickly).

### 1/5 — Money hungry

*2025-10-02, version 3.19.1*

I used this app several years ago with my last baby, just for the nursing tracker and it was great. It used to be free. Now you only get a certain number of logs and then they ask you to pay for a subscription. What a joke! Wish I could give it zero stars.

### 1/5 — Ruined for 💸

*2025-08-22, version 3.17.4*

This has been my favorite app since I had my first baby 6 years ago. I track their growth every time they go to the dr and when they were babies it was literally my life saver in tracking everything. 

Unfortunately now it won’t even let me log in and it says I have to pay now, this app was amazing and free and now only a yearly subscription??? How and why is that necessary. Very sad and unfortunate all for greed.

### 5/5 — Loving it

*2026-05-17*

Used 5 years ago for my first daughter and now for the second one. I wasn’t remembering the name and downloaded other apps but nothing compared to this one, it’s simple to log and easy to see the informations, very complete tool to track the baby’s routine.

### 5/5 — Update: Subscription is now working

*2026-04-17, version 3.19.3*

Updated review: I was having trouble getting Glow Baby to recognize my Premium subscription but the Glow team was quick to fix it for me. Thank you!! 

Previous review: have glow premium already but this app isn't working - asking me to pay again! :(

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-02-16, version 3.19.3*

Easy to manage and helpful to track baby milestones and breastfeeding and growth charts! All in one app, super nice when you’re sleep deprived having everything in one

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-01-06, version 3.19.3*

Great app

### 5/5 — Still handy after 4 years

*2026-01-02, version 3.19.3*

I downloaded this app when I had my first son in 2021. I purchased the lifetime pro membership and it’s beyond worth it. I was able to use it to track feedings with both my sons but now it’s been handy to track fevers and medicine when they’re not feeling well. We’ve also continued to track their growth with the app too!

### 5/5 — Great Baby Tracker

*2025-11-22, version 3.19.3*

I love the app it’s to cute and easy to manage

### 5/5 — Hey

*2025-11-21, version 3.19.3*

I want a free trail but longer than 3 days or 7 days. Please and thank you

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-11-17, version 3.19.3*

Love this app have used it for all my babies

### 5/5 — Trusted app from Mom of 3

*2025-10-25, version 3.19.2*

Takes guesswork out of caring for babies. Using it 3rd time with my 3rd kid..

### 5/5 — Glow Baby Tracker & Growth App

*2025-10-22, version 3.19.2*

I love all the Glow apps there are amazing and great investment. It keeps me organized because I forgot the last breast I fed with. I love how I can make a profile for all my kids no matter how old they are.
