Baby Tracker! Reviews

by Casbah007

It’s pretty easy to use, but is terrible for synching data with a partner or spouse, or other caregiver. You have to manually send the data from one phone or device to another, and in the middle of the night, or when you have a lot going on, is a real/absolute pain. And data goes missing if one person records on one phone but the other’s phone was more up to date. Too many headaches when you’re just trying to make sure your kid is eating enough and peeing/pooping enough.

We also noticed that all of the data we had recorded since birth had been duplicated multiple times, likely because of the Transfer Data option over email having a glitch (pretty sure we were doing it right!). So now we are exporting our data and using the other Baby Tracker app from now on, which syncs in real time using a group. Wish we had started with that one! Don’t make the same mistake as us! Looks like the paid option also lets you use Siri and Apple Watch (Hello hands free! Huge help!).

It used to be a great app, simple and easy to use which is a bigger deal than you think when you have a crying baby in the middle of the night in one hand while trying to enter stuff with the other. They recently changed the way you enter the time which is the main thing you will probably be doing throughout the way. It used to be simple scrolling but now it is unintuitive setting of clock dial hands that I have never seen before on any clock or alarm app. If they could at least add the option to switch between preferred ways of entering the time it would be good rather than deciding for you that the more complicated and less conventional way is better. If they changed this one thing it would be a 5 star app.

When I first got BabyTracker it had the annoying clock that you had to physically move when adding in times for feeding or naps.... then they updated it to an easier to use system so I could easily select the hour and minute.
After the most recent update, it went back to the clock. It’s so frustrating to try to select the time with the stupid drag clock... honestly why can’t you just make it so I can type the time in?! Or at least choose how I enter it. I got BabyTracker to save time with tracking my baby but the clock that they reverted back to is not user friendly at all and I end up with incorrect times so often.

I wish BabyTracker would have a log in. I deleted BabyTracker because it was stuck and glitchy to redone load it and have all my info of 6 months deleted. I had important information in BabyTracker on babies “first time” and now it’s gone. It’s also annoying that my husband cannot see what I see. I have to send him the data but once I add things to it I have to keep sending it. When he is home with baby and I am working, I cannot see what time he fed. But besides that, easy app to use.

I like BabyTracker overall but here are my suggested fixes:
1. I would pay $5 for BabyTracker (lifetime) to get rid of the ads at the bottom. I always accidentally click and it is annoying.
2. Average sleep etc. per day should only include completed days, not today, since today isn’t finished unless you’re looking at it close to midnight, and this brings down the average.
3. The All-In-One bar graph doesn’t work at all, it’s totally glitchy—but that’s not too big a deal bc it’s not that useful really. I find the bar graphs that are useful to look at are the sleep and eating. I don’t always time playtime outdoor time etc.
4. Since these are the buttons I use the most—Left, Right, Sleep— I’d like those to be in the home screen rather than having to open up the sleep and then go back and then open up feeding page and then go back, bc I’m doing this all day. It would be great to just hit start and stop on those things I use the most.
5. It would be great to add your own categories if there’s something else you want to track. E.g. sickness or another medicine or something in the health category
Thanks!

Loved BabyTracker ’s simplicity and ease of use up until the most recent update. They changed the time logging from a digital clock to an analog clock. Super inconvenient when trying to quickly input or edit time logs. Will be using a different baby tracker app until they change the clock back- seems silly but I’ve got enough on my sleep-deprived newborn life plate; the last thing I need right now is having to tap hands on a clock and adjust them to the correct time.

I’m really loving the feeding tracker. It’s east to use and clearly laid out. I like how it shows the amount of time in between each feeding on the running list for the day so you can clearly see how many hours it’s been since he/she last ate.

I also appreciate seeing
the last feeding on the “home screen” so I can quickly see which side she ate off of last. Another app I was using took forever to get to the right screen to figure out which side was used for the last feeding which gets stressful and frustrating in the middle of the night when there’s a screaming tiny human demanding to be fed. I love that the charting feature is included and that it’s all free!

The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is for the sleep tracker. I don’t let the timer run during sleep intervals due to battery life. I was looking forward to entering the start and end times for naps but even more so to track night sleeping patterns. But, you cannot set a start time one day and have the end time on the next day, it won’t allow it.

That being said, I would still recommend BabyTracker and would give it 5 stars if the sleep tracker is updated to allow overnight dates/times to be set.

Loving BabyTracker to track all my baby’s activities. Helps remind me of timing so my mama brain doesn’t have to remember. I would suggest a few tweaks.
- if you finish one breast and start the other it counts the timer from the start of the second breast but technically it’s the same feeding. It would be nice to have a feature that combines it into one feeding.
- when pumping you have to enter the amount before you end the session but I don’t know how much I pump until I’ve finished the session
- it would be helpful to have the option to turn on reminders for medication

For the OCD mama, this is amazing! I love being able to track when things are happening! It even reminds me to pump or “feed my baby” (if a crying baby isn’t enough of a reminder! ) It is SUPER easy to use. My two favorite features: the ability to edit times when you forget to click start or stop and the “tracking” portion that shows patterns in your day!

The only think I wish it could do is be share among people. I’m constantly asking my husband and my mom when they have the baby for updates. It would be nice if they could just input them on their own. Otherwise I love BabyTracker.

BabyTracker has been great in allowing me to track my newborn’s feedings, diaper changes, activities, weight, etc. BabyTracker is easy to use as well! I love that it shows the data displayed in different visual displays (graphs)- I’m a behavior analyst by profession so this is my favorite feature! My only complaint is that I can’t add my husband as a user so he can also input information. Thus everything has to be inputted by me- even feedings and diaper changes my husband does.
Fix this issue and allow multiple users and BabyTracker wold be perfect and would get a 5/5.

I’ve been using BabyTracker since my baby was born 6 months ago and it’s been immensely helpful. I mainly track sleep, feeding, and diapers. Very helpful because mommy brain is real!

Recently there was an update to the way times are edited and I think it should have stayed as a clock and not a scroll selection- it’s much easier to move the clock hands while holding a baby than scroll scroll scroll to the correct number.

by Sbrckwy

I love the simplicity of BabyTracker. I used it for my first and returned to it for my second. I was able to track feedings until I went back to work so I didn’t forget which boob I was on. Now that I’m back at work I’m able to track pumping times & volumes. & I loved being able to tell the doctors an accurate number for diaper output during those first appointments when I was so sleep deprived & a brain like a sieve

by Cbaldy6

This helped me keep track of feedings and diapers soooo easily!!!! It helped immensely in those first few days with the brain fog of new baby/baby brain/sleepless night. You don’t realize how quickly two hours goes and your back to feeding and changing diapers again. Took some anxiety off trying to remember how regular they are. Loved the charts and averages it produces. Fascinating to see how much time I’ve spent feeding/nursing. Highly highly recommend for new parents.

I used Medela app for first whole year since I had the sonata pump. They listen to feedback but their designers are just not great. I switched to BabyTracker and literally every time my husband or I put a feed, pump, etc in we’re thanking the creators for making such an easy user friendly app and kicking ourselves for not thinking to switch sooner! Thank you!!

BabyTracker has been an life saver for breastfeeding. I don’t have to remember times or which side was eaten from last! I haven’t used the other features but they seem like they would be helpful also. One of my things is the size of the left and right buttons. I don’t have to put on my glasses in the middle of the night to be able to see where to click if my phone is on the bed/an arms reach away!

by Sportsg03

As a first time mom there is SO much to be aware of simultaneously and BabyTracker allows me to be on top of it all. Since it is challenging to remember what I ate for breakfast, having BabyTracker help me track my newborn baby girls essentials makes me honestly feel confident and at peace with all of her activities. Great app, so easy to use, and I especially like how you can change around the times at your leisure because Lord knows I forget to start my timers when I should! Thank you thank you thank you 🙏!

BabyTracker has been so helpful for tracking feeding, diapers, and other information. My daughter is a preemie and needs to be feed every 2 hours, BabyTracker is the only way I can keep up with tracking required to keep her on schedule. I’m also able to use to track my pain relief medication schedule as well. We’re able to answer the doctor’s questions about feeding amounts, diaper frequency, etc using the graphs, something our sleep deprived brains can’t handle.

The best tracker for napping and breastfeeding. I use it to just keep track of which breast baby fed from last. But you can also include time baby fed, and ounces if bottle feeding. Napping feature is also great because you can time the duration of naps and leave BabyTracker while it reliably keeps counting without timing out. And you can manually enter a nap and it’s duration if you forget to starts nap timer, and edit a nap. It’s super user friendly, and you can easily get an over view of how your baby is sleeping and eating throughout the day/night.

I truly love BabyTracker, it does everything I need, and the fact that it’s free is so kind and wonderful! My only hesitation with it is with selecting time and date. There was an update that allowed a scrolling number selection, but then they rolled it back to the previous which was selecting on a clock face (much harder to be accurate), and some things don't let you alter the time if you forget and are adding events from the past. Still, it’s an incredible app with a TON of functionality and has made my baby journey a million times easier!

by Jamimck

I love BabyTracker, simple to use and super helpful. After we got home, it was hard to keep track of when he last ate, how many diapers he had when the dr asked and when I pumped last. You can set up reminders to pump so you don’t get too full when your busy. I use it constantly and love that it uses a timer to help you how how long it took to eat a bottle and how long you’ve been pumping. I would recommend this to any new mom and have to a few friends!

by Leh526

We have a preemie and it’s super important to monitor his intake and # of diapers while we get through the first couple weeks. BabyTracker has been a lifesaver!! We love it except for one thing- we really really need an option where more than one person can log in from their own phones. When dad does a diaper change he has to remember to tell me every single time so I can log it - super annoying!!

by Heidandseeking

I love BabyTracker! It is easy to use and has all the elements I want to track for my newborn. I can only give it 4 stars because my one issue is I can’t share one account with my partner. This seems like a really important piece to tracking the health of a newborn when there are two (or more) caregivers. I will continue using BabyTracker , definitely, but I would recommend it to everyone if it had the multiple caregivers option.

by Cpao1823

I use BabyTracker all day every day and it works really well- tracks everything I need to. Sometimes inputting the time for things gets tricky (or it gets buggy) and I wish it had a notification/ alarm feature. So often I forget to at and “end” time or to stop the timer for things. I also wish it would save entries that you input frequently (like medications) it’s annoying to have to type it out everytime. Just suggestions though. It works really well!

by Dad1257

Best app so far, it has everything I need to monitor my baby. I like the fact of how everything is so intuitive and simple to get to (and that worths a lot when you need to hold the baby at the same time). All I’m asking for is the shared account feature, so both my wife and I can log using our phones. I’m willing to pay for the paid version, please make it available. Thank you for putting out an amazing app.

by Rachelway910

I used an app by this developer for my pregnancy and I’m so happy to see they have one for when baby comes. This is by far the nicest interface I have seen for baby tracking apps. It’s very simple and nice to look at. Every other app I checked out was very busy and difficult to read. BabyTracker tracks everything that I’ve found in other apps, it’s just much easier to follow/use. Highly recommend.

by JGAJ15

I was skeptical after finding so many apps that want so much money before BabyTracker and then more with things you do. This one is not like that. I just push a button before I do it and after I do it. Done. Then I can look over the day and find out what kind of schedule I have. I love BabyTracker. And I think all new or first time moms will too.

by Tygresshuntr

As a first time mom, I’m glad I discovered BabyTracker! So easy to track everything I need for my little one. The alarm feature for each feeding/pumping session and the ability to track baby’s measurements and progress is fantastic! Just wish I could share all the data between mine and my husband’s phones for multi-user tracking.
