### 2/5 — No updates and no news from support

*2025-11-18, version 1.1.154*

Contacted the support twice with issues related to log entries a few months ago. The developer(s) never answered.
Last update was a while ago.
App seems abandoned.

### 4/5 — I love it

*2025-11-04, version 1.1.154*

So the app was understandable like very simple and it translated so good. And it actually worked 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

### 3/5 — Ajuda mas não é preciso

*2025-09-14*

O app gera várias possibilidades ao escutar o choro do bebê mas acerta pouco, podemos usar como auxiliar mas treinar o ouvido e prestar a atenção no bebê , mãos pés sons e outras coisas ajudam mais

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2025-07-05, version 1.1.154*

This app has potential to be what I’m looking for but there seem to be a few annoying bugs that put me off.  For example, sleep tracker is showing 12:00AM for all entries in details page. I’ve also noticed some instances where sleep entries are lost for whatever reason.

### 2/5 — Random guessing AI

*2025-06-13, version 1.1.153*

Every time I use it, the AI cry translator is calculating a 30% chance its hunger, 30% its discomfort, and another 30% its diaper. I can guess those same odds without a paid subscription.

### 2/5 — Bogus..

*2025-05-06, version 1.1.151*

I got the paid version and I’m extremely unimpressed and wish I could cancel to get refunded. Everything is always 25% so all causes equal. Its barely right. The suggestions don’t work and are often not age-appropriate. The only reason I gave a 2-star is because they have nice milestone and tracking sections but these are no use to me since I already have other FREE apps for these things.

### 3/5 — Not really useful

*2025-04-28, version 1.1.151*

Tried this with my baby’s cry, it keeps saying 30% hunger, 30% pain, or something like this. I don’t want a “this or that” answer, I know it could be hunger or pain. If you are not able to give me a more accurate answer, why do I need this app?

### 2/5 — Beaucoup de messages d’erreurs pour n’importe quelle action…

*2025-03-26, version 1.1.150*

Beaucoup de messages d’erreurs pour n’importe quelle action…

### 4/5 — Best tool for first time parents

*2025-02-16*

Its helpful especially when you feel helpless. Sometimes its wrong but you know what posibilities are

### 3/5 — Cry Translation does not work

*2024-10-03, version 1.1.135*

It’s not true that the free version provides 2 translations daily. Since I downloaded the app, I translated couple times and afterwards it stopped working. The translation button doesn’t work anymore. Still, kudos in the App, the rest of functionalities work great.

### 3/5 — Pas mal mais…

*2024-06-08, version 1.1.096*

L’application est intéressante, particulièrement l’IA qui permet de rassurer le nouveau parent en moi! Pouvoir noter les heures de boire ou le nombre de couches mouillées et également bien pratique.

Ceci dit, certaines fonctionnalités sont à travailler. Au lieu de nous donner le nombre d’heures totales dormis en une journée, on a une moyenne d’heures par sieste, ce qui n’est pas très pertinent.  Il y a également des « jalons », que l’on peut cocher lorsqu’atteints mais ça ne fonctionne pas (on clique mais le jalon n’est jamais marqué comme complété).
Et finalement, ce qui est le plus publicisé, la possibilité d’écouter les pleurs de bébé et de les « traduire » me dit tout le temps que mon bébé a faim, ce qui bien entendu est incorrect.

### 4/5 — Amazing on reading my baby cry

*2024-05-12, version 1.1.085*

Just please let us type in the mls/oz as it’s really hard to get it right with the way it is rn!

### 5/5 — I would highly encourage

*2024-04-20*

This app to everybody

**Developer response:** Aw! Thank you so much for your support and positive feedback!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Cry analyser inaccurate

*2025-05-27*

Cry analyser inaccurate and proving 4 reasons is too many

### 1/5 — Same results for cries - avoid

*2025-01-31, version 1.1.148*

The translator ends up giving 20-30% chances of being each of the four possible responses which is the same as guessing yourself. What’s the point of paying for that?

### 1/5 — Take too long

*2024-08-24*

It takes too long to analyze the crying compared to other apps.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! We're always looking to improve cry translation times. Our algorithms are trained on real in-hospital cries and are always being tweaked. Sometimes a higher quality analysis can lead to a slightly longer processing time, but we're working every day to find the right balance. We put out multiple updates per week and recently made a big improvement to the translation experience, so we'd love if you could give us  another try some time!

### 1/5 — 1 star

*2024-07-14, version 1.1.115*

Can’t do 0. App always says tired.

### 1/5 — did not work

*2024-06-09, version 1.1.096*

tried recording multiple times. basically wasted more time than anything as all of the tries came back that there were no results.

### 1/5 — Aucun diagnostique tenait la route

*2024-06-02, version 1.1.095*

Vraiment pas du tout fiable
« Il a faim » alors qu’il vient de finir de manger
« Il a mal » alors qu’il est juste fatigué

Pas intéressant comme appli

### 1/5 — Not ready for prime time

*2024-04-30, version 1.1.081*

Same crying recording…different results every time the app analyzes it.

Also…spammy notifications…and if you turn notifications off, the app tells you to turn them on each time you open.

I don’t know how this app has so many 5 star ratings. It is not a 5 star app.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2023-11-15*

Despite holding the all right by the baby and getting lengthy recodings, it tells me each time that it ‘couldn’t catch that’

**Developer response:** Hi there, that is very surprising, is the microphone working otherwise ? could you send us an email to support@ubenwa.ai with the email you signed up, so that we can check the recordings and make sure we make it up to you ?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2023-09-12*

Waited forever for it to load while crying and never did

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-09-10*

Waited 10 minutes for it to translate before giving up on it. Don’t waste your time.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for reporting this issue, we have not yet received this feedback and apologize for the annoying outcome. As we understand, after the recording ended, you did not get to the result screen, but it kept 'analyzing'?  We could only reproduce this issue when connectivity drops during recording, e.g. when moving outside of wi-fi range.

This is what is supposed to happen: Upon pressing the button to translate, you can stop recording at any time, ideally after one or two expirations ("waaah"). Otherwise, the app will stop recording  by itself after approx. 20 seconds. It should then take less than 10 seconds for you to get the result, certainly not minutes!

We wish you and your baby all the best and hope you give it another go and get all the value out of it.

### 5/5 — Probably the most thorough !

*2025-09-16, version 1.1.154*

I wasn’t too sure about all these that claim to do this. But  makers seem to have some solid research/science backing the app. Really useful as I am a new parent. I got the most value with the paid version though

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-04-05, version 1.1.150*

I really like using this app and would love to keep using it. One improvement I’d suggest is with the feeding timer. Right now, it seems like if my phone locks while the timer is running, the timer pauses.

It would be great if either:

1. The app could prevent the phone from locking while the timer is active (like when you're watching a video), or
2. The timer could keep running in the background, even if I lock my phone or switch to another app, until I’m ready to save the routine.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2024-09-01, version 1.1.127*

Es muy beneficioso

### 5/5 — Calling all first time & experienced parents!!!

*2024-08-16, version 1.1.124*

As a first-time parent the early days with a newborn were overwhelming! This app helped manage the sleep deprivation, my babies needs, and assisted me in best helping my baby. The standout feature and the reason I downloaded the app was for its ability to analyze and categorize different types of cries. Understanding why my baby was crying was very challenging and took forever to go down the list to determine why he was crying. Nanni AI cut down my guessing time and allowed for me to act with suggestions to support how to best help my baby. Another wonderful feature of the app is the tracking feature. It has helped me quickly enter data about my baby’s feeds, diapers, and sleep and the gives a wonderful visual view and calculates averages to assist me in my parenting. This comprehensive tracking is invaluable for identifying patterns and ensuring your baby’s needs are being met consistently. The AI-powered question-and-answer feature is also another feature to highlight. Instead of sifting through a sea of contradictory information online, you can ask Nanni AI specific questions and receive clear, tailored responses. This function can be a lifeline for parents seeking reliable guidance amidst the overwhelming amount of conflicting advice available on the internet that is backed by research. Overall, Nanni AI is an indispensable tool for both new and seasoned parents and is extremely user-friendly! ALSO-when I experienced an issue with the app, the creator was the person who reached out to me and he scheduled a video call to discuss the issue I was having and to get my customer feedback to improve the app-10/10 customer service and drive to continuously improve their product for all parents!

### 5/5 — Just amazing!

*2024-08-01, version 1.1.120*

I was looking for a tracker app for my newborn. Was going to use huckleberry, then my brother in law told me about Nanni AI which has the cry translator in addition to the tracker. Really love how the app is no frills. So simple to use and an interface that doesn’t overwhelm me. 

Then…I discovered that I can make custom avatars of my baby and now I can’t stop! Haha

### 5/5 — Really good app

*2024-06-27, version 1.1.103*

While there is always room for improvement. This app has impressed me at times on how accurate it is on why my baby I crying and reminding me of tips and tricks I may not think of in the heat of the moment with a wailing baby by myself. Really grateful this app exists has definitely helped me out!

### 5/5 — Nanni ai

*2024-06-05, version 1.1.096*

You are helping Henry

### 5/5 — Finally, I needed this for my 2 month old!!!

*2024-06-05, version 1.1.096*

Wow, just wow! I am in LOVE with this app. I’m a first time momma with a 2 month old and could have used this the first time we brought home our little potato. She’s my favorite little person, and I’m so thankful to finally understand her.

I watched the Oprah video on decoding baby cries, which helped, but this app finally gave me the insight I needed to decode my child’s cries. After using it for a short while I no longer need it because I understand her now. 

Love love love this!

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2024-05-19, version 1.1.089*

Free

### 5/5 — So helpful for all the family

*2024-04-27, version 1.1.080*

Love this app as a first time mom. It’s given me a confidence boost to know what my baby girl needs. It’s also a great tool for the family to have when looking after baby - gives me peace of mind. Love it, thanks!!
