Baby Your Baby Tracker Reviews

I was prompted to update BabyYourBabyTracker for the fifth time in the middle of the night while feeding my son, so I finally did. Bad idea. When I went to lay him back down and turn on BabyYourBabyTracker 's white noise feature I was met with a "Coming Soon" message. Who releases an update that i... Show more s incomplete?!?! No I've got a restless baby and was struggling to find a white noise track. Then this morning I wanted to know what time I last fed the baby. In the last version of BabyYourBabyTracker , that would be right on the home screen: last feed 2 hours 20 minutes ago Right breast. It was super helpful. Now the home screen tells me how long he fed for not when he fed. I had to look and look and look through BabyYourBabyTracker to find the time line for recent feedings. It's under tracking>feeding and then you have to sxrool down three times. And that only shows one type of feeding: breast OR bottle OR solids. The old version would show all types of feedings in one timeline, so there's lots of steps in order to figure out the most recent feeding and therefore what time the baby will need to eat next.

In summary, the new updates make BabyYourBabyTracker no longer useful to me. That's unfortunate because I used it every day at every feeding and sleeping.

This was my favorite app. I did extensive research before my 10 month old was born to find the best tracking app my husband and I could use. We used this religiously for almost 11 months and this new update is a huge disappointment.

Not being able to edit the start of a sleep time (who start... Show more s the timer the MINUTE their child falls asleep? I can’t believe I can no longer start it 15 minutes ago but have to edit later by memory-which defeats the purpose of BabyYourBabyTracker ) is a huge problem. As well as losing the 24 hour sleep chart that was so useful. (Still waiting on the promised update with that coming back).

Clearly marketers got their design hands on a well developed app and may have made this look more modern and “fresh” but its functionality and user friendliness are gone. I do NOT need a “feed” like function in BabyYourBabyTracker. It is for data, it is not social/interactive nor do I want it to be. I also don’t need your stock photos and visual updates. I am so sad and want my old, super useful app back. I am less concerned about looks and just want it to work. Now I will go hunting for a new app to use before baby #2 arrives.

I really liked BabyYourBabyTracker before the updates. The ONLY thing I would have changed was the last sleep time should have been from the wake up time, not the start of the nap. After the update, I hate everything about BabyYourBabyTracker. It was so easy to track sleep patterns and quickly se... Show more e when the last nap, feed, and diaper change was. Now you have to go into two or three different screens just to see, or input, this information that was the first thing you saw on the previous version. Now, instead of showing the time of the last whatever, it shows the amount of a feed, duration of a nap, or whether it was a wet or soiled diaper. Who cares! The last time of each is way more useful. Most babies drink the same amount at each feed and I’m pretty sure most moms remember if the last diaper was soiled. You can view this info in the details. The last time for each is what should be shown. And trying to track nap patterns is out the window. Also, you have to change the type of bottle EVERY SINGLE TIME! For people like me who wanted but are unable to breastfeed, it’s like salt in a wound every time I enter a feed. Before the updates I would have given BabyYourBabyTracker 4.5 stars (5 if the last nap time was corrected.) Now, I give it a very low 2. BabyYourBabyTracker is completely ruined for me now so I’m looking for a new one.

I LOVED BabyYourBabyTracker and am so grateful I was able to keep track of so many schedules for my baby for over seven months. I was so frustrated, however, when I went to go track a nursing session a few nights ago and everything was so different. I am completely fine with change for the better,... Show more but I found that even in trying to give this update time and learn to like it, the update actually motivated me to give up tracking all together. Now I rarely open BabyYourBabyTracker , whereas I used to be on it ALL the time, for tracking and all the great info. Even something as simple as changing the diapering portion- the variation in colors was a quick easy look to see how much pee/solids were happening daily- now with everything teal blue, it’s certainly pretty and looks modern, but is less functional. I really wanted to like the update, but just haven’t found it to be as user friendly as what I had been using for the previous seven and a half months.

I was in love with BabyYourBabyTracker before I was forced to update it. It was easy to use and understand. That was extremely helpful when during the night I’m hardly awake and fumbling trying to figure out the last feeding and diaper change. It was also easy to quickly add his diaper changes and... Show more feedings with a simple click of the +. Now the process to add feedings and diaper changes especially during the time I’m already exhausted is unnecessarily difficult. It’s also annoying that my feeding method is no longer saved. I continually need to switch from breastfeeding to formula. I like to see the development stages which is also difficult to locate now. This update is not user friendly and was not made with parents of infants in mind. Those of us that are trying to quickly and easily add or find info at ungodly hours. My son has gerd and takes an antacid which was easy to track using the medication feature. That’s now completely screwed and confusing to use. You had a wonderful app that I frequently recommended and now it seems as though it’d be easier to find another app that’s user friendly when my brain is to exhausted to decode your ridiculous update.

For about a month, I continued getting the backup failed error EVERY TIME I logged ANYTHING. I contacted support and they said to sign out and sign back in, or delete BabyYourBabyTracker and redownload it. I tried to sign out but BabyYourBabyTracker wouldn’t let me because of the backup failed ... Show more error. I asked if deleting BabyYourBabyTracker would erase any data and I never received a response. I was told that they’re “aware of the issue” and that they are working on it. This was a month ago. Finally I decided to try deleting and redownloading based off the previous review. It ended up deleting EVERYTHING I had logged since the backup failed error. I now have absolutely nothing saved from mid July to now. This is EXTREMELY upsetting as I would religiously log all of my babies feedings, diapers, and growth to refer back to when needed. I even went to settings to “export data” but it’s a feature that literally does absolutely nothing. All it does is create an empty zip file.

I was loving the tracking features until the update. I’m heavily debating switching tracking apps because of the update and how unfriendly BabyYourBabyTracker has become. The front screen used to say right on top which side I breastfed on last but now I have to scroll to find it in the activity se... Show more ction. Logging in a breastfeeding is also very annoying even though you can now enter any time instead of 5 minute intervals. BUT you cannot log in feeds in the future. This is annoying because if you click manual log in it will only allow the time to be set for when you clicked to log in. Example: I start breastfeeding at 12:00 and click manual at 12:02, BabyYourBabyTracker will only allow the length of the breastfeeding to be 12:00-12:02. If you want to alter that you have to save and go into the entry. The tracking of which side should not automatically be in the middle of Right and Left, if I click that I started out on the Left then leave the entire time to the left side and allow me to change instead of having the meter in the middle! I don’t know what it is but on my iPhone it is pretty difficult to move that meter bar.

My daughter was a premie so the weight tracker was what I needed daily. Or even twice a day. Entering weights on BabyYourBabyTracker is super challenging because it auto sets to today’s date when you’re trying to input for weeks previous to see trend.
This function then alerts that a weight w... Show more as already entered for this date, when incorrect, with no any way to go back or see previous weights. It just alerts. You should have a function that says “procede anyway” or take the alert away all together. I need to be weighing her all the time to see changes. Took me forever to figure out you had to scroll down to delete weights, and this took so much time. Then I had to delete the same day’s weight and then enter another one for night time. It is so convoluted. I tried to learn it months ago, used another app and just came back to it now at 9 months of age, same thing keeps happening so I’m kind of done navigating the nightmare. But that percentile function is SUPER important to premie parents.

I really hope this gets a work ticket!!!! Please allow multiple entries, and allow the forward entry for a same day track on both percentile trackers. We’re so sleep deprived as it is, we won’t spend the 10 minutes trying to figure out BabyYourBabyTracker . We just give up. :-(

I loved BabyYourBabyTracker and have been using it for the past almost 3 years to keep track of feedings, diapers and sleeping. The thing I loved about it the most was the sleep chart, it really helped me visualize a pattern in my kids sleeping and helped me keep track of when it was time for the ... Show more next nap, and to be able to see over a span of several days when bedtime happened and how long my kids were sleeping. The new update does not have this anymore and I am highly disappointed, I relied on that sleep chart a lot, and wish it would at least bring the sleep charts 😓. Would also be nice too if the feeding history and last feed area would say which breast was last nursed on. The slider for the expressed milk is hard to get to be exact, every time I lift my finger off it it changes the numbers, would be easier to manually put the numbers in, also for it to have a timer as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the application when I first started using it; however, there has been a major issue taking place where all of my pictures have disappeared. I had been close to my hundredth diary entry when suddenly, every image had gone missing. Luckily, the text for each day is still there, ... Show more but the idea of going back to input each daily photo was daunting. Still, I started the process, but then discovered if I save a photo to a diary entry and then close the programme, the next time I open it, it has vanished again. Then, on the Memories portion, my entries are still saved, but the photo space is just white/blank. It indicates that I must have saved a photo there at some point since the remaining memories yet to be completed appear differently, but nothing is shown. Thankfully, my Face-a-Day is still working, but I wish the other glitches could be resolved.

I give it 2 stars because I entered over 40 diary entries into BabyYourBabyTracker over the course of a year but one day—the entries went down to 16. I reached out to customer support and had to go through the rigamarole multiple times to try to get the data back. I sent phone data, my data, app d... Show more ata, wrong email, right email, different email, log out, log in, change email, try again... and I still haven’t gotten my lost diary entries back. Not worth the effort and I’m really sad about losing the text from those entries, where I wrote things to my baby that I was hoping to use in a picture book later.

Update: After posting this review, I was given some additional instructions and I got the data back. I was able to download a zip file with the entries that I will put in a baby book. So I’m upping to 3 stars. If they are able to figure out this new password thing (where you have to create two passwords because they are integrating their systems and the databases don’t seem to talk to each other) and no longer have data loss, I would give them 5 stars.

My husband and I use BabyYourBabyTracker for our three month old twins (because no matter how hard I try, they refuse to be on the same schedule) and this update is nowhere near as user friendly! The design is definitely an upgrade, but switching between children isn’t as simplified and I don’t fe... Show more el it’s as user friendly. There are a few more steps for simple things (like finding out what time the last feed time was). And you can’t edit the sleep start time during the sleep session anymore, you have to wait until they wake up and it’s so hard for me to accurately remember when each of them fell asleep, ESPECIALLY if they fall asleep at different times but their sleep sessions overlap. I have five kids and I need EASY. I absolutely loved the old version but am really struggling with the update and looking to switch.

With all of that being said, BabyYourBabyTracker is incredibly breastfeeding friendly, which I LOVE. It also has so many other features that your basic tracking. The sound machine built in, the growth charts, the fact that you can literally build your baby book within BabyYourBabyTracker ... I love everything! It’s just hard when you’ve learned one way to do things and then you basically have to relearn the program.

I'm still waiting n the process of downloading and trying out every baby tracking app, but so far this is definitely the best designed and intuitive. Many other apps suffer from bad UI/UX, though have all the features. Here, we've so far had few-to-zero usability problems.

My wife and I hav... Show more e two main desires from BabyYourBabyTracker . We have twins and switching between children's pages feels like too much toggle- tapping. It would also be great to have a view of information of both simultaneously, if desired. And since ours are twins, the profile image in the corner doesn't "work" since both babies look the exact same Haha.

The last request and question is if there are any plans for multiple user logins for logging/reporting/sharing information. We could login using a shared account, but it would be juice to be able to see who logs what new information. This is especially important for when we have grandparents or other caregivers who we would like to grant reporting access to but not necessarily unlimited free reign.

I am very happy with BabyYourBabyTracker. I downloaded several and prefer this one over the others. I like that it is easy to adjust start/stop times for breastfeeding and sleeping. It’s also nice that you c an track how much time is spent crying and see that over a chart to look for similarities.... Show more BabyYourBabyTracker has been very helpful for the newborn phase to track sleeping, feeding, diapers, etc and I will continue to use!

My only complaints are 1- I would like to have dual user compatibility so my husband and I could see and enter information into the same chart. And 2- The sleep chart view is a bit frustrating because it puts automatic spacing in between each hour which makes it difficult to find any similarities in sleep schedule without going back and looking at times myself. Not a major issue but would be nice if those spaces weren’t there.

My husband and I use BabyYourBabyTracker every single day to track our newborn’s diapers and feed. Prior to discovering BabyYourBabyTracker we used to text each other the details which was a nightmare. Ince BabyYourBabyTracker came along, we both share the login so that when one person logs the... Show more info, other person can see it, no matter where they are. This gives us the clarity needed to handle feeds and diaper changes by a clear schedule even if the other person is asleep or away. My main feedback for BabyYourBabyTracker would be to fix a minor bug wherein if we forget to log a feed or diaper (say 5pm)and enter the data later than another entry (say 8pm), BabyYourBabyTracker summarizes the last diaper change as 5pm in the summary/today page. Another key feature missing in BabyYourBabyTracker is the ability to track breast milk pumping. Overall, I highly recommend BabyYourBabyTracker.

I love BabyYourBabyTracker!

UPDATE: the temporary glitch where BabyYourBabyTracker wouldn’t open was fixed, and they responded within hours to my review. You guys are amazing.

Pros - easy to track for feedings, sleep, and diapers. You can easily determine trends and work towards a ... Show more sleep schedule. I love the examples that they give for schedules depending on age. It’s more detailed than other tracking apps. It gives you individual day trends as well as daily summaries. Other apps don’t give you options of stool descriptions like this one. Other apps also don’t give you a great detailed breakdown for feedings where you can distinguish between expression, bottles, nursing, solid foods. The growth and health tracking gives you your child’s percentage curve, which is very helpful. I also love the personalization of BabyYourBabyTracker . It has a cute diary that I use daily, and helps track milestones and other memories and moments. It’s everything in one app!

Cons - you can’t change when you want the tracking time to start (ie beginning or end of feeding) for each individual category, like beginning for feeding vs end for sleep. You can only choose to start tracking for all at the beginning or the end. Other than that, BabyYourBabyTracker is perfect!

My daughter requires an app like this for health reasons. I was highly critical in choosing the right tracking app. This one works perfectly for her.

I had my son on January 22nd. I first started using the Glow baby app and while that one worked for what I needed, the Baby+ app has more features without having to pay for them. I am in love with the face a day section and the little movie I made with my sons pictures at 4 weeks was absolutely ama... Show more zing!!! I love the articles that BabyYourBabyTracker provides and the ease to use BabyYourBabyTracker is a definite plus.
The only downfall BabyYourBabyTracker has is the lack of a smart watch feature and it is not that big of a deal. However, it would make things easier for the parents that wear a smart watch constantly like I do. Maybe a future update??? Other than that, BabyYourBabyTracker is amazing and I will be using it for a while and recommending it to other parents.

I’m a first time mom and I downloaded BabyYourBabyTracker the day after I delivered in the hospital because the nurses kept asking when my baby last fed and how many diapers he was having. I lucked out in finding this one on my own. I love BabyYourBabyTracker. It has everything you need to keep t... Show more rack of all the important info when baby first arrives. Even the reminders when you open BabyYourBabyTracker and have a live feeding or sleeping session open are brilliant. The doctors appointments and questions section are super helpful. I love the face a day feature. There is so much to capture and BabyYourBabyTracker keeps everything all in one place. I also love how you can export the “yearbook” and have all your entries in one place. My only bit of advice or suggestion to the developers is to add a tracker for pumping. I was asked about how often I pump and how much I produce and I might not always feed this amount to the baby, so adding this would be helpful. But thanks for a great app!

Being sleep deprived, I couldn't keep track of what time I had fed my daughter or how much. BabyYourBabyTracker is awesome for keeping track of all of that and it's nice to be able to share it with my husband and not need to answer the questions because it's all in BabyYourBabyTracker . I had down... Show more loaded a similar app but liked this one better. The only thing I wish this one had that the other one did was actually pumping tracker to record when I had pumped and how much I got.
Overall, BabyYourBabyTracker is awesome, especially for being free. Totally recommend it for answering all those questions from doctors and helpers. As well as keeping memories!

First time mom here, tried multiple apps and this is the one I stuck with and like the best! It's very easy to use and includes every feature you could ever need. I love that it lets me go back and add info in retrospect when other apps would not. Another favorite feature is the dashboard, everythi... Show more ng I need to know about my last feeding, last diaper change, etc. and how long it's been is displayed right when I open BabyYourBabyTracker . The day by day, week by week charts are awesome to see my progress and how we've been doing. It also allows me to log doctors visits, vaccines, meds, milestones and photos, and my own weight. Not only that but it has white noise, lullabies, growth guides, and educational videos. It may seem like a lot to some people but I love that I can use as much or as little of it as I want. Oh, and you can track more than just one child! This is truly a brilliant app! :)

I absolutely LOVED BabyYourBabyTracker before the update; I used it every single day. But ever since this “long awaited” update, there are tons of bugs. BabyYourBabyTracker freezes almost every time I try to do anything, and I have to shut it down and re-open it. The face a day capability took a ... Show more down grade and also for some reason creates duplicates in my actual phone’s gallery. The lullabies and white noise options are gone completely, which we used nightly! And the sleep tracker now lumps sleep spans into a total block for the “day” and even starts a new sleep at midnight, so for poor sleepers like my babies, I can no longer use BabyYourBabyTracker to accurately track how long they’re sleeping at a time. The weight tracker keeps losing my new entries...Pretty much all of my favorite features of BabyYourBabyTracker no longer work!

I’ve been using BabyYourBabyTracker for about a year, and this update took it from 5 star to 2

I loved BabyYourBabyTracker and would show it to everyone. The new app is more confusing and you have to click a million more things to log. My complaints
1. I miss the sleep graph. I used to be able to see exactly during the week when my baby would fall asleep. I can’t do this visually now. I’... Show more d have to scroll and make my own graph I guess.

2. I used to be able to start a sleep session and then keep it open. Then BabyYourBabyTracker would prompt me to ask if I wanted to continue or stop it. Now I have to use this stupid timer and I always forget to start it so I have to remember what time baby fell asleep and woke up.

3. BabyYourBabyTracker would automatically remember o formula feed. Now it just automatically puts it on breast each time and I have to manually click bottle and then change it from breast to formula. EVERY TIME. then if I forget the graph turns a different color because breast was selected.

It seems the only thing that is fine is the diaper. I get BabyYourBabyTracker wanted to match pregnancy+ but these are major changes that are not user friendly to moms who need quick efficiency in an app. I’m kind of stuck since all my data is here and I don’t want to start over but I won’t be recommending BabyYourBabyTracker to anyone else unless these changes are made. They are so simple in my opinion so hopefully BabyYourBabyTracker designers will fix.
