Playfully Baby Development App Reviews

by J__xyz__123:/

I was hoping for an app that would be stimulating for an infant, both for mental and physical development. Some of these activities are not age appropriate, or they’re common sense activities like tummy time or making funny sounds for baby. I do like that there’s a selection of daily activities, but a lot of them have to wait until babies are at least 6 months or older. The daily activities definitely does NOT justify a monthly subscription or a $40 lifetime cost. It’s a waste of money, in my opinion.

As a grandma of two (and former Special Ed teacher and Reading Specialist), I have found Playfully to be so helpful for new parents to make sure they find fun ways to use playtime for learning. I love that the milestones are divided into the four developmental domain areas and guide parents in how to encourage skills in all areas. Even after raising my own kids and working with children for 30 years, I still seem to be frequently reminded of activities on PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp that I hadn’t thought of. I recommend this to all young parents (and grandparents too).

I love how simple and impactful PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp is.

My babysitter, my husband or myself just picks up PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp , and there’s a fun activity to do with my daughter. I can see her growing and developing each day thanks to PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp and the cool things I wouldn’t have tried otherwise.

Things I love:
- all of us can do activities with her, and it’s logged in a single timeline
- can see pictures and videos of her doing the activities
- high quality activities, with just enough variety that none of get bored
- doesn’t require specialty props or toys... we can pick this up at a park, at home or while we’re traveling
- really cool to share with grandparents and show progression
- older kids like to participate too!!!
- modifications in activities so we can customize to her level
- saves babysitter so much time rather than plan new activities

My son is not yet 3 months old, and even though Playfully does not have activities posted for 0-5 months (yet), just having the milestones has been so helpful in guiding me to know what to expect (or not) during my child's development. It has made play time that much more impactful, dynamic, varied and age appropriate. I have felt more empowered as a mom and as my son's first teacher!!

I love that the milestones are separated into designated areas & I can check them off as I feel they are mastered!

Love all the fun games, and that they have a suggestion for how long you’ll play each one. The suggestions really do fit my baby’s development, and it’s great to have engagement ideas that go beyond the basics. I wish I had found this sooner!

Update: now on baby #2, and still loving PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp. Especially during the newborn phase where it’s so hard to know how to interact with baby, I find the activities super helpful.

As a stay at home mom I was having a hard time constantly thinking of new ways to play with my baby. PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp really helps! You can go back and look at all the previous days activities which is nice if you don’t use PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp for a day. There are always new things to do. I’ve never spent money on an app and barely use my smartphone other than for photos and this is so worth it.

Best baby activity app for both parents / multiple caregivers to use. I’ve tried other apps, but they don’t let you link accounts. PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp is also beautifully designed and I love that you can store a photo with each milestone. Only wish you could write in your own custom milestones or search for milestones by keyword (our son just laughed for the first time, but I couldn’t find that milestone).

My husband and I absolutely love PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp. We both found ourselves sitting with our daughter wondering what we should be doing with her - how/what we should be playing with her, etc. PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp has allowed us to be more intentional and creative with our time together, and helps us understand what developments and milestones we can watch for in our daughter. I highly recommend this to any parent or caretaker!

I was having an issue with getting daily activities that weren’t developmentally appropriate for my daughter, and I received a thorough and thoughtful response to my customer support email within hours.

The activities (once corrected for my daughter’s age and abilities) are great and include stuff I might never have thought of, but she loves. Highly recommend, totally worth purchasing.

PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp has made my job as a dad so much easier. I didn’t know anything about babies, and this has taught me all about developmental milestones and how to play with my daughter. The daily activities spark new ideas on what I can do to help her grow and make her laugh! All the activities are easy and use materials you already own!

I was having a hard time coming up with new activities for my daughter to do. I wasn’t sure what babies were capable of in the first place, and being creative is hard too! I can really tell she’s learning when we do the Playfully activities, which makes me feel good and makes our playtime more fun. I love PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp .

I had no idea how to interact with small children before I had my son. Playfully has made that much easier. PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp makes learning about upcoming milestones really easy, and the daily activities help me feel like I am really encouraging his growth and development. Would definitely recommend to all who want to support their baby more fully.

I’ve tried a few other baby play/milestone apps. Most of them are hard to use or don’t explain the play/milestones clearly. PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp is very easy to use and has really clear content. I just did the free trial and bought the three-month subscription to try it out.

I got PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp a few weeks ago and it’s made it so much easier to come up with new things to do every day. My twin daughters both love the activities and seem to be learning so much every time we play! I love the variety and creativity it’s brought to our everyday routine.

I really like PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp because it gives me some great ideas on how to interact with my newborn. Sometimes it’s hard to communicate with a newborn since they don’t communicate back, but PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp provided some great activities to help! Looking forward to using PlayfullyBabyDevelopmentApp as our baby continues to grow!
