## What is Lovebug?

Lovebug is the most comprehensive baby sleep coach in your pocket built for parents of babies and toddlers. This mobile application guides parents through a personalized baby sleep plan to get you and your baby sleeping safely and soundly in the shortest amount of time. Plus, live help is an email or phone call away!

Features and Benefits:
*Tons of science-backed sleep knowledge in short videos.* 
100s of short video lessons on sleep that cover all sleep training methods. Many programs will only explain one approach to baby sleep, but not Lovebug. Lovebug has four different techniques depending on your baby's personality and your family's parenting style. Plus, you get specific videos for your child based on what's happening in their body, brain, and recent sleep patterns.

*A modern logging system for the whole family.*
Tracking your baby's feeds, sleep, diapers, medicine, weight gain, sickness symptoms, and more is so easy with Lovebug. You can use the app to log or log through your voice with Alexa. Everyone in the family gets their own account, and the data syncs seamlessly instead of using one person's credentials.

*Best-in-class, GPS-like Sleep Schedule.*
 Lovebug presents you each morning with a fully personalized nap schedule based on your child's age and recent sleep patterns. Then, it updates throughout the day for missed naps, short naps, long naps, and really off days. You'll never have to question or struggle with when to offer the baby sleep.

*Help when you want it.*
Lovebug has sleep consultants on staff so that if you find that you have more questions that the app cannot answer, you can send an email or schedule a call with their team. Usually, you get the sleep coach that's in the app herself.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 
- You log. Lovebug monitors 40+ metrics for baby sleep. 
- We analyze. The more you log, the smarter we get. Lovebug will find clues and causes of sleepless nights and short naps.
- We provide solutions! You will get expert-led sleep lessons, specific to your baby, that match your current issues. 
PLUS, Lovebug will help you stay on track. We will alert you of regressions and update your plan as your family grows.

### 1/5 — I wish it worked

*2025-07-10, version 7.3.0*

I loved this app 4 yrs ago with my son but now it drives me crazy. If you don’t stay on the app while your baby is feeding then when you go back it makes the timer into this smaller one on the home page & when you hit finish feed it changes the time to 7pm. EVERY TIME. When you are sleep deprived at 3am it’s really hard to remember exactly what time your baby started feeding. Then you have to go back in and change it. Just more stuff you have to do. I have done everything to try to fix it and nothing has worked.

### 1/5 — Forces a subscription

*2024-10-31, version 7.2.0*

Already used this for the free logging. It will lock you into a forced subscription page and won’t let you exit unless you log out. It happens multiple times a day.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your precious time

*2024-05-14, version 6.07.5*

This app does not log times or activities consecutively and it is not at all user friendly. You’ll be wasting your time. Find another app PLEASE!!!!!

### 1/5 — Difficult to use / figure out

*2024-02-11, version 5.5.2*

The app is a bit complicated to use. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to add basic information like when my baby ended her night or when she woke up after being put down. Maybe a tutorial walking through the details could help.

### 5/5 — Better than other reviews would suggest!!

*2023-12-02, version 5.5.2*

I think it’s really good! Lots of sensible info and advice, videos are easy to listen to without being patronising… I would recommend it! Did take me a couple of tries to work out exactly how I was meant to be logging things but even as a sleep-deprived technophobe I can’t say it was that complex. I would suggest it’s worth giving the free trial a go, personally I can’t see what’s not to like!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2023-11-24, version 5.5.2*

The Lovebug app is a lifesaver for new parents! Its user-friendly sleep tracking and helpful advice improved our baby's sleep routine immensely. A must-have app!

### 1/5 — Updated Review - No customer service

*2023-10-30, version 5.5.0*

My original review is below. I had success with the app during its earlier days but now that it has been around for a few years the developers seem to have all but abandoned it.

I have requested support on two different occasions. The first is mentioned below, when the app stopped updating after my son turned 15 months. Never got a reply after their initial response.  The second request for support was after the recent app update where they added dark mode. The app stopped working entirely across multiple devices. I contacted the company and got no response. I used to have a $20/month subscription but it’s canceled now and the app deleted. Developers seem to have moved on from Lovebug to focus on other endeavors. It doesn’t feel like it’s anyone’s priority anymore, as is obvious from the lack of support or social media presence. It’s really unfortunate, because it was a good product with good potential for growth.

This app helped me figure out sleep for my first born. When I had my son I knew generally how to help him sleep and the number of hours of overall sleep to aim for based on his age, but I still struggled. This app connected all the dots, I watched every lesson, and my little one has a solid nap schedule and bedtime routine unlike a lot of other infants/toddlers I would read or hear about. The problem came at 15 months. Despite continuing to pay for the premium service ($19.99/mo), and it app supposedly being set up to continue until the child is 2, the app stopped providing guidance and stopped explaining anything. No lessons after 15 months. Also, despite my little one still requiring 2-3 hours of naptime, the app started cutting the time short without explanation. I contacted Support and I received an immediate reply acknowledging my email, which I now suspect was an automated message. No one ever followed up with me so I replied back saying I still needed help. Again, nothing. So I have reduced my subscription down to the $2.99/month and will likely just cancel altogether because I’m not getting anything from it at this point. I checked social media for Lovebug and nothing has been posted since 2022. I suspect there isn’t a lot going on in the background anymore. I would have given 5 stars if not for the lack of customer service. At least I have benefited from it for this long. I feel for people just joining who need tech support.

### 4/5 — We love it

*2023-10-04, version 5.3.0*

Basically all the same good stuff others say. We have it on an old phone of ours that goes with her if she’s getting babysat and her sitters love it bc the answers are all right there for what she needs or why she’s fussing. I didn’t do 5 stars just because I wish it would take into account vaccines and how that can affect their sleep. It lets you enter them and everything but I wish it would acknowledge their affects.

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2023-09-19, version 5.3.0*

I want to like this app but it’s features are not user friendly at all. It makes it difficult to log sleep sessions when it keeps trying to go to the previous day, and it also keeps telling me I have a session running but I can’t figure out where. Not sure if I will keep this app or not.

### 2/5 — Good if you are guessing

*2023-08-24, version 5.3.0*

I was recommended this app by a friend. Although there’s an option to go by wake windows, the app is consistently off by 15 - 30min. What’s worse, the feeding times are off by hours. My LO is mostly EBF and still feeds every two hours. Imbut every morning it will say, the next feeding is 3.5 hours later, even though I’ve set it to ever my two hours. I’ve been using for about 2 weeks. I’ll give it another week before deleting it.
