Bad

It will not open

Locked Out After First Use

I opened the app, logged in, and while creating a personal profile hit a few roadblocks discovering I couldn’t create a baby profile before baby was born. While backing out, I got permanently locked out of the app. My email isn’t recognized, my password isn’t accepted, and there’s no other access. Garbage for functionality. Just use the internet.

Great idea however super glitchy

App is probably great, but it is super glitchy and crashes a lot. The developers need to go back and fix some fundamental bugs to make it more dependable then the App is a 5 star app

Outdated

App hasn’t been updated for 2 years, not user friendly at all on an iPhone. Wouldn’t recommend, we switched to Huckleberry and it’s much better.

App does not track properly and crashes

This app does not track properly. I had tracked diapers one day, and then they showed up on every day, even days that hadn’t happened yet. The app also gives error codes while trying to log items. Definitely needs updating.
