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. ### 4/5 — Хорошо *2019-09-28, version 2.1* Не хватает z-scores, а в остальном лучшее приложение из подобных ### 4/5 — Good but *2019-01-02* Awesome app but include fenton charts also for boys and girls in neonates ### 3/5 — It is ok *2018-10-30* I have been using it for years and went to go input my new sons info to compare against his 2 older sisters and noticed my app was gone. While I took my son to his peds appt yesterday my parents let my toddler use my iPad and she deleted the app. Reinstall it to find all data lost and the only way to back it up is via email. Now if only I knew she would get the iPad and that I needed to make sure I backed it up recently, if ever...should be standard to back it up or have it on a set schedule. I have my oldest daughters stats down as I found the app after her but have lost my toddlers 2 years worth of info. ### 3/5 — Backup não é automático *2017-12-19, version 2.1* Perdi todos os dados ao não conseguir restaurar o backup do iPhone ao trocar de aparelho. O backup do App não é automático. Deveria funcionar usando o iCloud e poder ser recuperado bastando vincular o Apple ID. I lost all my children’s data while failing to recover iPhone backup when I bought a new phone. This app’s backup should be in-app, made through iCloud linked to one’s Apple ID. ### 3/5 — Won't save the data!!! *2017-10-09* Won't save the data!!! ### 4/5 — Use it often *2017-01-11* I use this app often for easy charting of my children's growth. ### 3/5 — Special needs kids left out again... *2015-06-04* I really wish these types of apps had proper charts for kids with special needs (e.g. Down syndrome, cerbal palsy, etc). These kids have special growth considerations because of their disabilities and typical growth charts have them all as failing to thrive because they just fall right off the chart. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2015-04-09* I love this app. It helps me keep track of my daughter's growth easily. The only thing that would make it better is if you added some Cerebal Palsy growth charts so I could keep even better track of my special needs daughter. ### 5/5 — Great. *2015-02-02, version 2.0.2* Perfect app for the purpose. ### 5/5 — One of the best *2015-01-12, version 2.0.2* Can't ask for more from a free app. +++ ### 4/5 — Bug in current version *2014-11-26, version 2.0.1* Bug in current version means that when emailed or exported to pdf the plots are not on the chart. Otherwise fantastic app ### 3/5 — Versión 2.0 black screen *2014-10-12, version 2.0* Al abrir la nueva versión (2.0) se queda la pantalla en negro y no reacciona la app. Descargada en iPod touch 5th con iOS 8.0.2 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Fix Please for IOS8 iPhone 5 *2014-10-07, version 1.0* FIX PLEASE!! ### 1/5 — Pointless *2014-03-29, version 1.0* Does not save previous data points. ### 2/5 — Poor app for medical use *2018-09-19* Does not calculate z-scores; requires you to calculate age and therefore subject to rounding errors and prohibits accurate growth velocity calculations. ### 2/5 — App doesn’t seem to be working properly *2018-07-01* I’m having some trouble with the app. When using the calculator button to enter age and anthropometrics, the save button isn’t working. I wonder if the developer has stopped supporting it since there hasn’t been an update in a while. ### 2/5 — Об обновлении *2018-01-15, version 2.1* Есть ли в плане обновление? Есть ли в планах добавить the echocardiographic z scores ? ### 2/5 — Lacking *2014-08-05, version 1.0* As a parent this app is a little lacking, there is no option to set your preferred measurement lb oz/kg. ### 2/5 — Not that great *2014-01-21, version 1.0* Great until I switched phones and lost my baby's data info for a whole year ### 3/5 — Score Z *2020-04-01, version 2.1* Deveria incluir as curvas OMS 2006-2007 por score z! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-04-10, version 2.1* But it needs to be upgraded! ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Perfect for car seat techs *2018-12-29* If you regularly work with parents and have to predict when a child may outgrow a certain (class of) car seat, you NEED this app. Period. ### 5/5 — Best growth chart app and It’s Free *2018-06-10* I tried other apps for charting my kid’s growth but they were glitchy or started asking for money. This app is great. It’s free and it does exactly what it needs to. Just input the birthday of the child then you input height, weight or head circ at different days and it charts them out for you on the CDC growth charts. It’s as simple to use as you can ever want. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Muy buena aplicación *2017-10-18, version 2.1* Excelente herramienta para la consulta de pediatría. Me ha servido mucho en los últimos 4 años. Sin embargo me gustaría que sacaran una actualización para migrar los datos a otro dispositivo ### 5/5 — Upgrade *2017-07-31* Please add standard deviation and velocity of weight and height ### 5/5 — A great free app for EASY charting *2015-07-19* I started the tradition of marking my kids' height with my first daughter, but the thought occurred to me if we ever have a fire all the marks on the wall in our house would go up in flame and I'd have no backup. I tried other apps, but they were nothing like what I wanted. I love that I can use photos of my kids for each profile, and that I can send backup data easily to my email and many other apps. This app is easy to use I was able to put as many measurements for each of my three children as I wanted and see their percentiles and track their growth all the way up to my 17-year-old daughter. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Very helpful and easy to use! *2015-06-09* I am a psychiatric medication provider and I prescribe mostly to children. Our EHR system does not have the capability of plotting or giving a percentile based on weight. Since many of the medications cause weight gain or weight loss I need a tool that can calculate this quickly for me. This tool allows me to choose male or female and choose between CDC/WHO guidelines. It's quick and easy and there is no small adds that get in the way of my typing. ### 5/5 — Nandy *2015-06-08* The best i have use.
