### 4/5 — Best breastfeeding tracker I've used

*2016-06-28*

I've tried a bunch of different breastfeeding apps and this is the best one I've found so far that's free, it does have adds and you can het rid of them if you purchase the app for $1.99 but I honestly don't mind the adds.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2016-05-24*

This is one of the easier apps to use for nursing. When I delivered and showed the nurses they were so amazed. I love how you can pause, edit, etc. the only thing it is missing is the ability to log or track dirty/wet diapers which is also really important with nursing.

### 4/5 — Usable interface

*2015-12-07*

I found an app to track feeds where I don't have to do several taps to get to the tracking screen! I don't use it for anything except tracking breastfeeding. I like that it allows me to view time since the last feed STARTED and it allows me to track times for both breasts in one feeding. 

What I would LOVE: I used an app that included a widget for the Today part of iPhone so I could very quickly see when the last feed was without unlocking my phone, and with shortcut buttons to get me to the feed screen right away. This is perfect when baby is hungry and I'm getting him on the breast quickly.

### 4/5 — Does the job.

*2015-01-05*

This does the job for a free app but would be beneficial if users could log in and pull up data interchangeably on all devices (e.g. smartphone and tablet). It would also be more useful if the nursing counter at the bottom reflected the time of the prior feeding's start rather than end.

### 4/5 — Very helpful app!

*2014-08-28*

I just downloaded this app and I'm already glad I did. Nice 'stop watch' style timer with a pause button. And you can record diaper changes easily. All I need are the basics!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2014-06-30*

It helps me a lot to keep track of how long the nursings last, how much time till the next one and when it's time to switch sides. Totally recommended!

### 5/5 — Simple & easy to use. Very helpful!

*2014-06-29*

I tried several different apps for keeping track of nursing times & kept coming back to this one. I like this one the best because of its simplicity. Does exactly what it's supposed to with ease. Open app, pick side you're nursing on and go. Easy to pause, switch sides, and add notes. Keeps track of time between feedings and average feeding times. Keeps a history of daily feedings as well.

### 4/5 — 4 star, almost 5

*2014-06-11, version 2.0*

So helpful! When you are nursing in the middle of the night, half asleep, it's difficult to remember which breast you ended on. Also helps you keep track of the baby's feeding patterns.

I would have given this app 5 stars if it wasn't for all those annoying pop up ads while your using the app.

### 5/5 — Best nursing app I've found

*2014-05-12, version 1.2.1*

Easy to use, not a lot of bells and whistles, simple, straightforward, perfect for what I needed. Even allows for notes which us very helpful.

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2014-03-10, version 1.2.1*

All what I needed, easy to use, very simple and very useful.

### 4/5 — Good tracker

*2014-02-20, version 1.2.1*

I like the info that this app tracks and it's simplicity. I do wish the start, stop, and pause buttons were bigger to make using one hand easier.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2014-01-04, version 1.2.1*

Awesome app with great and useful functionality. Only add I might suggest is a reminder notice for next nursing session (ie every 2-3 hrs).

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2013-11-22*

I love this app. I couldn't live without it at the mo. It gives me all the information I need for breast feeding. I just wish the buttons were bigger.

### 2/5 — Confusing

*2014-12-11*

Let's say baby is just finishing up nursing on the R side for 20 min & you want to log that. Open the app, R button is on the R side. You press it, have to go into edit mode to set start time & duration or stop time. Now R is on the L side of the screen & L is on the R side of the screen & there is some sliding bar that makes it look like R-sided feedings took place on the L. 

Sorry, I just had a baby 2 days ago, and I'm too tired to want to figure out that the bars on the L side correspond to my R breast & vice versa. 

What a weird programming decision. Deleted app.

### 3/5 — Just ok

*2016-05-01*

It's nice to have an app that tracks every feeding but it would be nice to have a separate tracking for diapers. Currently as far as I can see, you just notate it- on the feedings. What about if it is a different time? What about notes if I supplementing?

### 3/5 — Good but.....

*2016-02-01*

I would really like to be able to change the start and stop times for when I can't get to the buttons right when I'm done or right when I start.... Also it would be nice to display the total mins spent nursing in addition to time at each sitting.

### 3/5 — Great app

*2014-12-19*

This is the best version of this kind of free app. I like how it doesn't all of a sudden tell you it's a trial and force you to upgrade. It's simple and intuitive to use however I never seem to have enough hands when I'm feeding so please please make the stop/continue buttons bigger as it can be frustrating trying to pause at a frantic moment and then realising it's still running.

### 3/5 — Much better before update

*2014-06-28, version 2.0.1*

Adjusting the minutes after a feeding is difficult. It used to be so easy to slide the bar to the correct minute, now it just jumps all over the place.

### 3/5 — Bring back the old layout/background!

*2014-06-16*

I have been using this app as my sole record of nursing for over a year. The old version allowed background changes, the new v2 is bright white!!! It is terrible as it is hard to read and far too bright for night feedings.
The new green icon is also confusing as it is the same colour as the apple message and phone call icons- the old distinct black logo was better.
The new timer font and Left/Right buttons are larger, which is an improvement.
Please fix the background in the next update.

### 3/5 — Deleted. Sorry.

*2014-02-25*

I downloaded a few nursing apps to see which I could get along with but this one got deleted. Sorry. If u forget to stop the timer after a feed there is no way of correcting the time spent actually feeding in that record. And the timer automatically stops after 1 hour on one side. Fair enough, but we weren't constantly feeding for the full hour. We kept pausing for winding and distractions. And I kept pressing the pause button so the app knew this. We were only approaching 20 mins of actual feeding time and the record ended! Would be good if the buttons were slightly bigger too. I've found an app that shows my feeds in graph format too which I like so I'm using that one.

### 3/5 — Bigger buttons needed

*2013-10-15, version 1.2.1*

Very easy to use just sometimes I have a hard time starting/stopping/pausing because the buttons are so small.

### 3/5 — Great free app

*2013-03-21, version 1.2.1*

Good and basic!
This app does just what you need.

I prefer it to those that store information online because it doesn't need wi fi connection to work. 

Also nice because they are not constantly asking you to upgrade to a paid version. There are ads constantly across the bottom of the page but they don't pop up and need to be closed.

### 3/5 — Good, but has a bug

*2012-12-03*

Overall a good app. There is an issue though - if one adds a nursing manually, it doesn't save properly. You then have to edit after which it saves. It is irritating as the other review noted as well. Please fix that. Also all the buttons could be bigger as sometimes it's fiddly. I like the interface though, not too garish like some other ones. Simple to use and there is an option for notes, which is useful.

### 5/5 — Wish I could get this on my Samsung

*2015-09-30*

Love this app but now I have upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy and can't get it. Please make this for the Samsung galaxy family too!

### 5/5 — Keeps You On Track!

*2015-04-28*

Great App and helps to keep you on track with all feedings. Has been a life saver for me, as with a newborn, there are too many things going on to be able to remember what side was last used, how long ago, etc.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2014-12-09*

I use this app everyday! 
I helps so much to keep track of how long it's been since I fed baby girl last. Especially great when you go to the doctor visit and they want to know how the feedings are going. 
Highly recommend this!

### 5/5 — Very helpful! LOVE IT!

*2014-11-26*

I was looking for an app to help me track feedings. Not diaper changes or growth but a simple yet helpful app to track feedings. Those....is....it!!! I love that it logs each side separately then tells you the average time each feeding is for that day. I just love it's functionality and its simplicity!!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-11-04*

I absolutely love this app! It has been so very helpful!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-10-25*

This app has been very helpful. I like that it tells me which side I left off on and how long it's been since last feeding. I can never remember! Definitely recommend it!

### 5/5 — Great nursing app!

*2014-09-12*

I really enjoy the Nursing Log and all of its features!

### 5/5 — Easy & quick!

*2014-08-16, version 2.0.1*

Super easy to use, keeps track of nursing time, side, time since last feeding, and diaper changes! Live this app!!

### 5/5 — Mommy friendly

*2014-08-01, version 2.0.1*

Super easy app to use, even while nursing! Easy to keep up with sides and times! It does all of the work for you!
