Kids are growing up fast! If you, like me, always want to know exactly how old your child is or anyone else that you care about - install this app. It will show the person's (or maybe your cat's) age in a "years months days hours minutes seconds" format. So you wouldn't need to calculate it yourself. The best thing is - this app shows such information in a short form on the Today Widget. Don't miss this capability - it's not obvious. You'll have to go to the Today Widget's page on your phone, press the "Edit" button and add the "GrowingUp" extension. You will always know how old your loved one is at any moment.
