love the charts!
i got this app to help track breastmilk output while rebuilding my supply. i love that there are charts that help visualize the day to day differences. i also love the home and lock screen widgets that make logging activities so easy!
They don’t make them like this anymore
Allow me to set the scene. It’s 9pm. You’ve slept 4 hours max. You’re tired, exhausted, and the doctor asks how many dirty/wet diapers your baby has had today… today? What day is it? When did the day start? 4? 5? 6? All I remember is getting peed on twice…
Incomes mango baby to save the day. I chose this app for 3 main reasons:
1 - The widgets. Oh how well the widgets are made. And the Siri/Shortcut support too? That’s the sort of polish you just don’t see from an app these days, let alone from a solo dev.
2 - The price. You get almost everything for free. Then a flat $10 for everything else. That’s $10 for one kid, not one device. Making it super easy to share with my wife. In a world of monthly subscriptions a flat fee is soooo refreshing.
3 - The data. All hosted in my personal iCloud. Not sold to big tech trying to monitor my child and sell me more products. I’m so grateful my son’s privacy is protected.
Highly recommend this app. Such a lifesaver - from a first time dad.
Some areas for improvement (just my thoughts, not a reason to avoid the app)
I’d love if the “mixed” diapers could increase the total dirty/wet count. It’d make it easier to keep count instead of having to add them together. Simple addition is hard with 3hrs of sleep. I get why some people might want them separate. Maybe a setting to count together/separate would be nice.
Also a way to track things for Mom would be super cool. I get that’s not the point of the app, but being able to track her postpartum medication (pain killers), breathing exercises, time standing up, etc. would be nice. I’d even pay another $10 for that app.
Overall, fantastic app, great work. As a fellow dev, this is clearly a work of love. Well done.

Does what you expect
Does everything you want it to do. Easy and intuitive to use. Even the grandparents can figure it out. It’s great
Good tool
Helpful! And easy to use.
Excellent
Love this app, the widgets are fantastic
Amazing
This app is exactly what I was looking for with my newborn. It is easy log and track and it creates easy to read charts based on the info. I can tell the pediatrician exactly how much she has slept and eaten in a glance! Love it
Great app!
Very helpful to keep track of what’s going on with baby! We’re especially excited that it integrates with Apple shortcuts so we could set up NFC tags around the house!
Excellent app
We used Huckleberry with our first child, and I much prefer Mango, which we are using with our second baby. The app is straightforward and paired down. It removes a lot of unnecessary junk that other, bulkier apps have added so they can charge families high fees. Mango is also exceptionally user friendly. The multiple caretaker option is so useful, and best of all, the app interface is pleasing to look at!

If you know ball, this is the one to get
Intuitive and easy to use
Love the widgets to track feeds! The app is super simple and easy to use
I love this app.
Heard about Mango Baby from iMyke on the Upgrade podcast. Tried it out. Immediately loved it. Immediately bought the premium version. Very reasonably priced, generous profile sharing options. Highly recommended!
An app made to fit your parenting
We’ve been using this with our newborn for about a week and seriously love how good this app is. It feels like something not only made by a parent who knows what parents need, but also has the flexibility and customisation to fit hire you do things rather than making the user bend to fit the app.
I’d tried quite a few newborn training apps in preparation for our child, and this is the only one that felt like it was helping me rather than trying to upsell me.
The easy to go back and edit trackers for things like nursing and diapers are invaluable. We got premium version and would do so again in a heartbeat.

Great app for new parents!
It’s simple to use and my wife and I can share the apps so we can both put in actions. Way better than the apps that cost you every month. The home screen widgets make it easy to see what’s happened and to access the rest of the app.
Simple, Easy, has everything you need
When we started looking for a tracking app for when baby was born we really didn’t want one that had a subscription and definitely didn’t want our data shared. I had done some free weeks of some apps to see what components that were being utilized. Then my husband said he heard about this on a podcast!
And it is perfect! It has everything that I wanted in an app. It is simple and extremely easy to use, it is a one time cost and not a subscription! The widgets give you a perfect Birds Eye view, like which breast did you start with on the last feeding! So easy!

Great app, responsive developer
This app uses modern iOS tools like interactive widgets and live activities. The developer is really responsive and added a feature I asked for already!
Keeps us sane
We like using Mango with our newborn. We can watch the charts to feel we’re doing ok, and can check when the other parent last fed / changes Baby if they’re asleep. The voice controls & Siri integration make it all worth it. I wish you could add more tasks like parents’ sleep, vomit, etc.
Awesome App
Honestly this app is awesome for first time parents. Its very user friendly and I love the live timers. Makes it easy to log sleep and other activities.
Great job
I like this app, really helpful. Easy to use.
Waiting for new improvements!

Does the job well
With the need for bottles and diapers for littles, it can be hard to use multiple stopwatches. This does one job but does it exceptionally well, and makes it easy to track when the last time and what the overall needs were.
Great
Love the charts.
