Do Not Give Them Personal Info
Can’t use the app without paying. Multiple typos. Absolutely do not trust putting my child’s health info into such a poorly done app.
So pricy
Just give your price options before ask for tons of information.
Not what I thought
I have been trying to cancel free trial since the day I downloaded the app. I don’t find this useful besides the reading articles which I feel like we can find anywhere. The milestone tracker is unrealistic unless your phone is in your hand 24-7. Still trying to cancel free trial before o get charged.
Not upfront about pricing
Makes you create account before giving you pricing details
Paying?!
Can’t afford paying monthly when this is good app
Made an account that requires subscription
I’m not signing up for a subscription on an app that, first of all made seem like it was free until after going through questions and giving them information including email and password. At least have a free version or warn people in the beginning that it costs.
Opinion
I am really disappointed in the app, it had told me in the adds that is was feee and then you down load it, and it only gives you a 5-7 day trial before you have to purchase the premium subscription.
Inaccurate age
The app asks for my babies birthday and then tells me my baby is 2 weeks older than he actually is. Should not have to pay for to use this app if it has inaccurate information.
Bad customer service
There are so many apps for baby and I tried a few free trials. I accidentally forgot to cancel this one because I didn’t even remember i downloaded it and even though I reached out the day I was charged they refused to give me a refund…. Even though there was a promotion going that was half the price of what I paid.
Cost
This app seemed like it would be perfect for what I need… until I finished creating an account and it brought up the page where it’s $50 a year or $8 a month and wouldn’t let me x out of it. Having a baby is expensive enough I don’t want to be paying that just to track.
Waste of time
You cannot do anything on this app without paying. No trackers, no milestones, no exercises, nothing. I absolutely refuse to pay $50 for the convenience of an app when I can track everything in my notes.
Es Pago!
Si es pago, pongan el precio así no perdemos tiempo.
Inaccurate timeline
The weeks are counted wrong . It says my baby is 7weeks old but she’s six . It’s frustrating cause I don’t like seeing wrong information. I thought I was going crazy had to pull out my calendar and count the old fashion way to make sure I wasn’t losing it . I honestly would like a refund
Grammatical errors
I don’t feel like I can trust this app because there are so many misspellings and grammatical mistakes it seems unreliable.
Paid
I hate that this app lets you download for free then has you answer all these questions and information just for it to then ask for payment before you can use it. Yes there is a week free trial but you still have to pay to use long term. I’d rather apps just require payment to download than do this. Not sure why they think it would be better to do it this way.
Nothing
Nothing in this app us free
free trial is nice but this app is not worth monthly payments
this app is very nice, aesthetically pleasing, but as a first-time parent, I struggle to find an app that fits into my budget, and I do not have to pay for, $50 a year is quite steep for this app
App is wrong
The app is off and won’t let me fix it. It keeps telling me my baby is 15 weeks but she’s only 14. I tried to change dob to get on the correct week but it will not change no matter what date I put her dob on.
Beyond upset.
I marked some of the very first milestones of my baby’s teeth coming in on here and now they say I have to pay to continue using and won’t load the milestones so I can get the dates to write down. Never did it say when I began that I would have to pay after a certain time frame and it isn’t even about the money it’s the fact that you know them dates and moments are special it’s almost like blackmail……. Very very upset, I don’t even know what else to say I’m heart broken right now
Multiple typos in opening questions
Before I even got through the opening questions I saw easily 5-10 typos, to the point that I ultimately deleted the App before finishing the questionnaire. How thorough or accurate can it be if they are leaving that many mistakes? Furthermore, wth is a “growth crises?” Is this a term used not in the US perhaps? Googling it does not produce any sound information to back up why they would use this term rather than legitimate terms like growth curve, developmental leaps, milestones, etc. Makes the app again seem not trustworthy.
Inaccurate information
I really wanted to like this app but the crying detection is incorrect every time! It’s always saying my baby is hungry for everything even when the sounds are different. Like how is my baby hungry after it was fed 2 minutes ago?!
The week is ahead and I can’t adjust it.
The app is ahead of my baby’s growth by one week and it won’t let me correct it.
Otherwise it is nice to read what may be going on at this time

don’t have money to pay for it
So I don’t have money to pay for this so it’s only giving me a seven day free trial and so far I have not been on the app when my baby starts to cry, but I did try and add a feeding and I couldn’t figure out how to change it from grams to ounces and he’s not eating solid food yet
It’s Alright
I wish there was an option to make weight in pounds and not just Kilograms for US based customers. The exercises are nice, however I wish there was a chart that just showed the history of everything in one place instead of individually having to go in diapers history, medications history etc. Also, plenty of times I found myself trying to add a diaper quickly and I was in the wrong place and had to go back out to add which was tedious when I feel like it should all be in one location. Aesthetic is nice, but functionality when you're a mom in the middle of the night half awake trying to add everything is annoying.
