Broken
Used to be a good app now it hardly updates any new information and doesn’t reflect correct times. Deleting app and downloading a more reliable baby tracker app instead
Horrible
It won’t even let you log the wake up time this app is completely useless it just allows you to log when it started but you can never log when they wake up completely useless
Would be great if they didn’t steal my money
I loved this app for all of 2 days. It was when I paid for the “full version” that they lost me. I paid SPECIFICALLY to get the widget feature to work and it still doesn’t, I’ve tried everything to get it to work and it won’t. Deleted the app to try to maybe fix a lag issue and now my purchase means nothing because deleting the app did nothing but restart the whole thing and there was no log in option for the account that I spent money on. Truly dissatisfied and honestly so angry
Trash since update
We use multiple devices to log feeds etc and the logs never sync correctly or completely. My biggest bribe is when I log on iPad NEVER shows on iOS devices. This lack of consistency breaks trust on using this to track feeds. This was never an issue before the big update earlier this year.
No thanks
This app basically tracks the most basic things. Feeding. Changing. So forth. If you want. You could just create a new folder in notes. And do the same thing. Also just set your timer. Easy fixings. But this app is deceitful. I noticed once I started using it more progressively, it started asking me to upgrade to useless ad ons. And stopped tracking my feeding times. I would take a picture. Go back. And it would mess up the time just to try and make me upgrade. So now it’s deleted. What a shame.
Inappropriate ads
I absolutely loved this app. It worked so well and helped me keep track of things. Randomly it has ads now. I wouldn’t mind except they are super sexually inappropriate. This is disguising and I am deleting because of them. I do not want to be looking at that while taking care of my baby especially. So gross
Never Saves Data Anymore
It’s been terrible ever since the big interface change, but now I’m noticing it is back to never saving my data such as feeds and diaper changes. Very irritating.
Update sucks
It was great until the recent update where everything broke. The colors are hideous and the sleep timer did not sync up during lock screen. Bring back the old version!
No
This latest update is terrible. Been using this app for 4 years with multiple kids. This is awful.
Regret doing the update
Like a lot of others have said the update makes me hate the app that i have loved since 2021. Too much going on in both the day and night time modes. And noone wants to see ads right in their faces…while holding baby and using the app either placement of the ads my baby has accidentally clicked them…quite annoymg. But i would rather them be on the bottlm if they just have to be there…please switch back to the old version.
Changed UI for the worse
I don’t know what you guys did but you changed the UI to make it more confusing and jammed it full of questionable ads.
Horrible update
The new update is awful. I don’t care about the ads. Why’d they have to change the user interface and make it so ugly? Worst of all, the timer on the Home Screen is out of whack and always has the wrong time until I click into the app.
New update is terrible - would not recommend
I’ve used this with all three of my kids and loved it. Since the app update it is borderline unusable. It no longer shows me live events like sleep timing or feed length in the Lock Screen or as a banner even though I have everything turned on. The design is hideous and as everyone else has said, the ads are too much and all over the place on topic. I’m giving this a few more days to see if some of the functionality reverts but after that I’m switching over. It’s a real shame because I have recommended this to so many other parents.
Go back to
Please go back to the las design. This new colors are terribly horrible
Dislike the update
I hate the most recent update. It’s moved some of the buttons to the bottom of the screen making it hard to use one hand to navigate this app while using iPhone pro. Specifically the app’s home button. My other hand is holding my baby so it’s annoying to have to put the phone down to use the app now. I’ve been using it for over a year and this latest update makes me think it’s time to end my logging journey.
Just happened
It’s been glitching and not recording input
Awful after update!
The app was great, but then after the update it is awful. The other interface and display was fine. The ad banner moved up to the middle of the main page which is fine, but now there are pop open ads when I am trying to look at the day’s list. I do not want to wait through ads just be able to see my feeds throughout the day or previous day. Also, the timer has been off when displaying on my Lock Screen when tracking how long I’ve been feeding. I will be looking for a different app if these updates are not changed quickly.
Update is no good!
They updated the app and it now has advertisements of half dressed women and you can’t see the daily log. The original app was great until they updated it a couple days ago.
5.0 Update Bugs
I have loved this app for years now but the 5.0 update that just happened has major bugs. Any on screen lock timer is suddenly now incorrect. The timer appears to be counting down rather than up and does not match the actual time elapsed when you go into the app. This has made me cut my nursing session short twice now accidentally. Please bring back the last version of the app! I also find the text harder to read now that the different Home Screen sections are fully color blocked as opposed to just having colored Text on a white background like in the of the app.
Loved NOW HATE
Overnight the entire interface completely changed and it’s absolutely awful. I honestly hate the update so much. I’ll probably delete this app and I’ve used it for three kids. It’s clunky and visually unappealing and not as intuitive and user friendly. The new interface actually looks old and outdated like they moved backwards. So disappointed!!
Odd
This app is weird. It is extremely unclear where things are. Things are barely labeled and with unclear pictures. Just not helpful there’s a ton you have to swipe or click for things that should be easy to find - the list of your feedings, for instance. Not user friendly.
Bad UI Update
They moved some buttons from the bottom of the screen to the top. This is a terrible UI decision. They filled the bottom section with ads. Feels like they intentionally did this to make it more likely that you will accidentally click on an ad. Most of the time I use the app with one hand. Now if I want to view the overview page I have to stretch my thumb way up to the top of the screen. Completely non-intuitive. Also syncing issues between devices have become more frequent recently which is a pain.
Bad update
This update moves the navigation bar from the bottom to the top of the screen. While this change doesn’t seem significant at first, after extended it quickly becomes cumbersome. Now it creates a large, wasted space at the bottom of the screen, which is dedicated to ads. Unfortunately, none of these ads utilize the allotted space effectively, resulting in a large, unused rectangle at the bottom of the screen and effectual moves all touch targets higher on the screen.
Additionally, all the navigation controls are now located at the top of the screen, making it impossible to quickly switch between them with one hand, which is essential when holding a baby. This unnecessary change is a clear example of prioritizing form over function, and I will be looking for an app that is more user-friendly and not hostile to its users.

Update very disappointing
So sad about this update, I loved this app. I miss the old, easy to use interface. It’s just more cumbersome to use now. We’d love it if you back to the old format!
Liked the previous design
My husband and I have used this app for a little over a year now since our child was born. The app was updated recently with a new format/display. I prefer the previous formatting with tabs at the top and ads at the bottom of the screen. This time the ads section is almost front and center and visually distracting. It’s frankly annoying. Otherwise, the app has been very useful with keeping track of everything and seeing trends.
“Usability improvements” = ads in your face
DO NOT DO THE UPDATE. If you have this app already but haven’t updated, do not update it. Liked the app for logging feeds and diapers, but now the ads are in the middle of the screen flashing in your face, and all the sections I needed are smaller than before. I wish I never updated it
Recent update ruins the app
If you asked me a week ago I’d give this app 5 stars and rave about it but I hate the recent updates. It doesn’t feel as intuitive to click around, when I’m tracking a feed session and my phone is locked it says a different time amount than what it says when I unlock my phone, and the ads are in such a terrible location it’s all you see when you open the app. Please please please go back to how it was before!
Update Sucks!
The most recent update makes this app way harder to use! I used to love this app, I have used it with both my kids to track feeds, diapers, etc. With the most recent update they moved things around (including moving the ad bar to the very top so it gets in the way ugh), changed the color scheme so they look weird, and now with all the changes it makes it hard to see my baby’s name at the top. It also glitches now when it shows how long I have been feeding on my phone’s Lock Screen it is very inaccurate. I will be 51 seconds into a feed on the app and my lock screen timer will read 15:51 instead. So I have to keep the app open to even see an accurate time. Please bring the old version back!
Hate the Update
Like so many others, I’ve loved this app until the new update this week. The interface on the main screen is clunky, ugly. and hard to read. But what I really hate are the inappropriate ads smack dab in the middle of the page. It feels so odd seeing that below my baby’s face. With the interface updated and these changes, I’m planning to move to a different app altogether even though I know the paid version of Baby Tracker would remove those ads. Just doesn’t seem as usable anymore.
New update hard to read
New update made the dashboard page really hard to see with the dark color blocks. It was much easier to use when the design was simple. Sometimes more is not best and this is a prime example of taking something that was working well and really muddying up the design with extraneous fluff. Please go back to the white backgrounds!
The updated UI is really bad
The app has been great but the updated UI recently is really bad because it is hard to read. Both the color and the font size. Please change it back....
Change the Format Back
I have used this app for 2.5 years now (I had a 2023 baby and now I have a 3 month old). I have always loved it for its simplicity and ease of use. However, I am so disappointed in this new update. I know you guys probably worked really hard on it, but the user interface isn’t great. The old format was perfect and easy to read. There’s too much going on with the solid colors and it’s more difficult to read the text. I also miss the banner at the top that had their names. The ads being at the top are annoying, but what’s really inappropriate are the ads that are popping up. It’s gross. I’m sure you all have some control over that. Please listen to your consumers. This app was great before (5 ⭐️s), it didn’t need to change.
New update
I do not like the new update as of 1/12. I liked when I opened the app and it would tell me how long it’s been since last feeding/nap, an it no longer does that. I don’t like the new format!
Review 01/12/2026
I swapped to this app to help track my breast feeding and loved it for a long while! However, since the last update, I do not like the new layout, and the breast feeding timer does not accurately track on the lockscreen. In order to see the true time I’ve been feeding, I have to unlock my phone and go into the app. For you breast feeding mamas, you know how much of a hassle this is when it’s 3am and you need to know when to swap sides etc.
