## What is Pediatric Growth Charts by Boston Children's Hospital?

Whether you are a parent caring for your own child or a pediatrician, this growth charts app is for you! It allows you to track childrens' growth over time and display the data points on any of the included WHO and CDC growth charts. You can track height, weight, head circumference and BMI and determine the corresponding percentiles.

There is also a percentile calculator for quick percentile lookup in case you just want to know the percentile of today's measurements.


# Data Storage

You can add as many children and measurements to the built-in database as you like. The data is encrypted – if you have a passcode on your device – meaning it is secure should you lose the device.


# Sharing

The measurements are directly added to the growth chart PDFs. You can email these PDFs, print them out (if you have an AirPrint enabled printer nearby) or share them with other means provided by iOS, such as storing into your Dropbox or box.com. You can do the same with a spreadsheet file containing all this kids on your device, or one file per kid. Finally, there is an export option so you can transfer all your data to a different device of yours or a colleague.


# Units

Whether you're used to the metric system and have all data available in centimeter and kilogram or whether you're in the US and using imperial units, Charts has got you covered. You can switch the units you want to use right from the keyboard and these units will be saved as your preferred units. You can also change units from a dedicated list when viewing your child's measurements.

### 4/5 — Good but Outdated

*2025-07-14*

It’s a great app unfortunately they didn’t update it for a long time.

### 4/5 — Not helpful for TALL kids

*2024-04-07*

I loved the app when my kids were babies to see their growth and know if they were on the charts for weight. However my husband and I are tall (he’s 6’9, I’m 6’0) and our kids have been >99% since they were 1yo. This was funny at first cause you know we’re tall but now that they’re 7yo and 8yo and finicky eaters I am watching them a little closer and to have their height and weight not correlating is annoying. They’re totally off the charts for bmi height and weight.  I mean like the dots are in the title on some of the charts.  So there should be some consideration given for kids who are taller than the average.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-10-02*

The app not working properly after entering the parameters its will not proceed to next step 
And plotting in the chart 
And after multiple attempts the app will crash

### 1/5 — Good idea but unstable

*2023-05-01, version 2.1*

The app crashes on iOS 16. 

Just add a child and values.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-04-10, version 2.1*

But it needs to be upgraded!

### 3/5 — Score Z

*2020-04-01, version 2.1*

Deveria incluir as curvas OMS 2006-2007 por score z!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-12-04*

Have used this app for years for my daughter who has growth issues. Haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve even changed phones and as long as my phone was backed up (backed up to the cloud last time) I could re-download the backup with all the info saved.

### 4/5 — Хорошо

*2019-09-28, version 2.1*

Не хватает z-scores, а в остальном лучшее приложение из подобных

### 5/5 — De la calculadora a las gráficas en un click.

*2019-04-09, version 2.1*

Estaría genial que al poner los datos del paciente en la calculadora, en automático se visualice en las gráficas.

### 4/5 — Good but

*2019-01-02*

Awesome app but include fenton charts also for boys and girls in neonates
