## What is Hungry Baby?

Hungry Baby identifies in less than 5 seconds if your baby is crying for hunger.

Hungry Baby eases the anxiety of caring for a crying infant by helping parents and caregivers to quickly identify their child’s cry of hunger and immediately respond to the infant’s needs.

To begin the translation, place the iPhone / iPod Touch near the crying baby. Aim the microphone to the baby and touch the “START” button. 

If the device is too far from the baby or there is significant background noise, a notice will appear asking you to begin the translation again.

The application also allows users to add contacts from their address book for fast and easy access in case of emergency.

Hungry Baby is not a medical device but a tool to help parents and caregivers better understand what their infant is trying to communicate.  Parents and caregivers are strongly advised to consult a doctor if they are worried about the health of their baby or excessive crying.

We will not be held responsible for the effectiveness or consequences of using either the application or accompanying suggestions.  The suggestions are intended to provide an informative reference for parents/caregivers on the most common soothing methods.

Every single time we record the voice it says it's hungry over and over and over again.😡😡😡👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻😠😠😒😒

### 5/5 — It works as a charm!

*2017-01-20*

Until now, it has been amazingly accurate. When it says that the baby is not hungry, it is true!!. I have tested this app when I know for sure that my baby is hungry and it agrees every time. My wife is as surprised as myself. I surely recommend it to anybody wanting to try this kind of applications before risking more serious money.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing.

*2016-06-11*

App doesn't work. Kept crashing on iPhone 6 with latest iOS. When it doesn't crash it says it can't figure out my son's cries.

### 1/5 — Fg

### 3/5 — It said bored

*2015-06-08*

This app is pretty accurate,im in my mid20's i faked a cry and the app said that i was bored, which was completely true! Im giving it 3 stars

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2015-05-20*

App is a waste of time. Only identifies that they are hungry. You have to buy the app with "all other cries". Freezes A LOT.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2015-01-10*

Didn't work at all. Wouldn't register at all. Kept going blank or freezing up. Couldn't get it to work one time.
