As a first time parent- download this app
This app is soooo incredibly helpful and validating!! The activities are simple and guilt-free, you can share tracking and progress with a partner. A one stop shop for understanding your baby's physical needs and development!! Can't recommend it enough
Recommend to all my clients- BUT…
I love this app! I’m a home visitor and I recommend it to all my clients as a way to find simple activities to do throughout the week instead of just the one thing they do with me every week… and the activities with videos and explanations are SUCH a great way to help families understand how easy and simple it is to
play with their babies while strengthening connection and development. HOWEVER, while I think the activities/milestone tracking side of the app is fairly well developed, I think it would be really great if there was a bit more time put into the developing the logging daily routines like diapers, feedings, etc. This COULD be such a super helpful feature to families with medically high needs families, parents that are learning parenting skills, parents that are tracking new foods etc, but it’s fairly limited to just diapers, bottles/nursing, tummy time, and infant massage… all great things, but if parents could ALSO track solid foods, naps/sleep, even track mood or growth, add notes to activities about if the child liked it or they should try it again later… These things would be such a benefit to families that have multiple caregivers, work with babysitters or kinship care, parents that are on opposite schedules, new foster parents etc, who are all overwhelmed with having a young child and frankly, I think THOSE features could draw them in to using the app and really help support a family as a whole in more areas than JUST milestones.

I love this app
I use it everyday I can track everything for my newborn and it’s easy to work. Free too
Great app!
Very helpful and interactive
Composed interface
I just wish the interface was more composed and interesting. Now, it looks like so much information thrown at me. Perhaps a drop down of some sort.
Great Resource
Such an awesome free resource! Really well developed and easy to use app. I highly recommend.
Totally free very helpful app!
This app is totally free, allows you to track activities if you want, read articles or just learn information as your baby grows. It’s backed by a science and research and is really user-friendly. I absolutely recommend downloading this and checking it out before downloading other apps that offer paid for subscriptions. Lots of great ideas that update weekly for play and what not.

Better than paid apps!
Title says it all. Get this app. Not the paying ones. I bought two apps about tracking and supporting developmental milestones. Learn from my mistakes.
Great app
I love the suggestions for doing exercises with my baby.
Pathways
Absolutely brilliant aid for all parents and grandparents to help support and develop babies and small children. Essential toolkit. Cannot recommend enough.
Amazing app and very informative!
The Pathways app is a wonderful app and is filled with very helpful and useful information! As new parents, we are so thankful for this app and are constantly looking at the app to track our baby’s developmental milestones. It is also great that we can take the app wherever we go since it is on our phones.

Really useful app
I’ve found this app really useful for tracking milestones and suggesting new games to play with my baby that will help with their development.
I’m a big fan of the tummy time timer and widget in particular. However, one small thing… the bar chart showing tummy time by day is displaying incorrect data for me. It’s not a big deal, just slightly annoying.

the best
It is free. Activities are concise and interesting! Video explanations are super helpful
Thumbs down
Tried multiple times after downloading the app but it just sits on a frozen screen that never moves and has no options. I've deleted it and re-downloaded it multiple times and still nothing
Love love loveee this app
Honestly so helpful, i found myself clueless on things to do with my baby but this app has been a lifesaver tbh. I also really like the motivational reminders, im a single mum so no one really tells me that
Thank you!
I really enjoy this app. It’s also free! That’s hard to come by. It tracks all of the milestones that my baby goes through. It also has a list of stuff you can do with your baby. So thanks again because I’m definitely recommending this to my friends and family!
Highly recommend this app as a free resource for new parents
This app is a wonderful resource for new and seasoned parents to track their child’s development. The videos and graphs that let you track your child’s skills is wonderful. I am a pediatric physical therapist and finding a free and good app to track and support families with the development of their child is hard. Of all the free apps (even the CDC developmental app), I would recommend this app to any parent seeking support for their child’s development.

Underrated app for parents!!!
Amazing!!! I hope more parents discover this app instead of the apps of those fake influencers. This has so far been well researched and thought of. It is easy to navigate and very useful.
Has everything I need
Perfect app for checking babies milestones and providing activities to help.
Highly Recommend!
I felt so unprepared going into parenthood- while pregnant I took hours of classes which all flew out the window when reality hit and I had a small little one in my hands. This app reassured me every step of the way that I was covering all my bases to help my little one develop. It gave me the confidence that I wasn’t forgetting to focus on specific tasks and ideas of how to interact with my baby in age appropriate ways when it’s sometimes hard to come up with new activities on your own. I highly recommend this to anyone going into parenthood! - Casey Maher
