After registration you have to pay
Basically nothing available for free overall, subscription only. Not worth having 3 days 'free' then pay. I'll stick to my written hand journal, thanks.
After a taking time to input all the information required, I had no access to anything unless I paid.
DO NOT START THE TRIAL - YOU MAY GET CHARGED I strongly recommend that people DO NOT even start the free trial for this app. I attempted to cancel during the trial period, but THE CANCELLATION FLOW IN THE APP DID NOT WORK. After multiple attempts, I had to cancel through Google Play subscription management because the app itself would not allow me to cancel properly. Despite cancelling during the trial period and explaining the issue, the company has refused to issue a refund. Charging users
just don't it and save your precious time. it's a subscription based app and the payment screen doesn't even show up until you have signed in. so they will ask you to create an account first and then hit you with a paywall.
dont waste your money offering to do a trial for 30 day for £3.49 but everything is locked and then keep telling you to pay now even more loke £12.00 to unlock the app. Make up your mind! and the app generally doesn't offer anymore interesting you cann find for free
I was advertised this app on Facebook and after a while I thought I'd give it a try, only to find out I have to pay in order to receive tips and advice. No, I won't be paying you monthly/weekly for you to tell me what I can learn from a book/friend or nurse.
It is calling a 38 mo kid a baby. This is sad.
just paid. just be honest about it.. sigh
no recomiendo pagar Todo Este dinero por lo que ofrecen... las clases en Vivo nunca comienzan, no hay actividades fijas Como seguir.un video con la actividad, sino q hablan en general, no es interesante y lo que mencionan SE consigues mejor en videos de YouTube... me arrepiento y no recomiendo
app itself seemed okay, but afterwards, it was impossible to get them to stop spamming emails. unsubscribed, didn't work. Blocked, didn't work. Reported spam, blocked again, unsubscribed again, hopefully that works. Hard pass.
I signed up for a monthly subscription and have not been able to access any of the material, every time I click on an activity it sends me to the subscription offers but I have been subscribed
downloaded the app. uninstalled when I found out I have to pay just to get some basic information. even if its free for 3 days you still have to put a credit card number to continue. which is a scam! you are better off googling it.
Terrible!!! I tried to sign up for the app at a discounted special rate christmas eve they were having but instead they charged my card over 36 bucks and attempted 5 times to charge my credit card $70.00 I tried emailing them and received no response or apology. My bank contacted me because of the suspicious activity on my card. I will never sign up with them. Not happy!!!
I tried the free trial period and didn't like the app. I wanted to cancel my subscription and couldn't, and now I've been charged $60! I've tried going through Google Play to get a refund with no luck. Then, I tried contacting the developers based on the information that was provided here also with no luck! Now, this review is my only way of contacting anyone to get a refund! Communication 0/10!
Expensive. 90AUD per year is too much.
FALSE ADVERTISING!!! What a shame the app isn't free like its advertised on Facebook!!! I am 1st time mom and can't afford to pay for your app. Please change your ad on social media to make it clear that this app IS NOT FREE!!!! Scammers!!! Yall are just money hungry greedy sharks.
everything is paid except the tracker
charged me for a yearly plan that I DID NOT WANT! Canceled IMMEDIATELY and haven't received any communication and emailed costumers support multiple times and nothing no response!!!!!!!
fake free 3 day trial - cannot test the app without subscription without commitments
downloaded this after seeing an advert stating it was a free app however its only free to download and you have to subscribe to access any content
why is the vast majority of this app locked behind a paywall?
I was looking forward to trying this out for my baby but it automatically takes you to a subscription sign up page. Guess I won't be trying this out. Such a shame.
No free trial! How do you expect me to pay $60 without even giving a free trial so I can see what I'm paying money for? The app didn't even open so I can see the free version which is only baby tracking. The only thing I saw was the screen to spend money on premium features. Once I closed that window it was only a blue screen. It might be a great app but I would never know. I'm not paying for something that I don't know if it's worth it.
It's OK, but I don't use it as much as I would like to because the activity instructions are mostly in video format which I don't find very accessible. I would give a much higher rating if written instructions also accompanied the video. Also, I wish there was a 'tomorrow's activities' rather than only being able to view the activities on the day as I neither like nor have time to be on the phone around my baby during the day.
no use unless you want to pay £12.99 a month. literally zero free features. don't bother
not a free app as you create an account and then they make you pay a subscription to use
subscription WAY to expensive. couldnt do anything without it.
too expensive
no funciona bien
it not free as they say it is scam
advertised as free but everything prompts for a membership. Extremely limited access for free. very disappointed that I downloaded it because the ad out right states "it's a free app".. no it's not.
I kept seeing ads for this app and how you can track milestones as well as getting activity ideas, so I decided to try it. The ads are deceptive because it states the app is free, but you have to pay to be able to do those things in the app. I installed and uninstalled immediately.
No longer free
I don't want or need to track anything else, I was doing this in another app and have since stopped. I was looking for baby development ideas. deleted account and app very quickly because it was busy and lots of adds anytime I clicked anything. Why spam the user with adds in the free version if there is a large subscription fee. Also there doesn't appear to be any taster for what the activities could be to decide if its worth paying the subscription.
horrible experience. can't even get into app as there is a pay wall. no free access, no trial. just don't bother.
Almost everything is behind a paywall.
I was excited to try it, but the only thing available in the trial (edit: free) version is the baby tracker (diapers, feeds, etc) which is clearly not the main appeal of the app. The developers should pivot and offer some limited access to activities for parents to try out. Otherwise you're subscribing to something blindly.
I did not want to subscribe so I decided to cancel yet some how the company still took my money and charged me $123 dollars not the 79.99 that it said on the website.
it so expensive as well when you go on it, you think they give you some free stuff to the have a look, not really, nothing you have to buy everything to have a look not recommended just go on youtube and go on Apps actually do the same free measuring your baby and looking at your breastfee tracking basically.
have to pay $16/mo to use ANYTHING on the app
It won't let you do anything unless you buy a subscription.
The free trial pop up blocks you from progressing with the free version - though I understand from the other reviews the free version doesn't really contain anything of any use.
Can't even get passed the free trial paywall after downloading the app. I don't even know what contents I'm subscribing to before it's forcing me into buying the free trial!
can't do anything in the free version. they expect you to pay for everything.
no hay nada en la aplicación que se pueda hacer sin pagar la suscripción.
I'm not paying $100 for this
downloaded this after seeing ad after ad advertising it having many activities to do with my newborn. I was very disappointed once I got in and realized there is nothing on this app for free that would be useful to me.
Aplicación engañosa. Obliga a brindar los datos para registrarse y después pide que se pague para usar la aplicación. Así, una vez se desista de instalarla se tendrán los datos para publicidad intrusiva.
This app would be cool. if we didn't have to pay for it. Literally everything
