Mango Baby Reviews

My husband and I really love MangoBaby! We bought the premium version and were happy to pay for this rather than a subscription like so many others require. Having Siri commands has been fantastic during late night feeds, and there are only a couple things I would change about MangoBaby . 1) Siri doesn’t understand when you say “Mango Baby start nursing timer” bc it runs into an error when confirming which side. 2) I wish you could edit the time without having to switch off “use timer” and 3) I wish you could say “Pause nursing timer”. We often do a diaper change between sides, and if you stop the timer, it records one side as 0 time and then starts a completely new timer. Overall, we LOVE the simplicity of MangoBaby and that we can sync our apps but have two different accounts. Super helpful as new parents!

MangoBaby helps me and my spouse a lot. We take shifts with our baby and use MangoBaby to communicate baby specific things so that when one of us takes over, we are up to date on what is going on.

I would love if we had an actual custom log function so that we can log anything we want such as when I make more formula or I did some baby laundry. Things that don’t need a chart, but can still be important to log.

Even more so, I would love a note section in MangoBaby that is independent of daily logs. I could put directions on how to wash cloth diapers, how many scoops of formula when I am transitioning baby between certain formulas, contact information for the pediatrician, or where I can write down what symptoms I see going on with baby. Currently I use the Apple Notes app to share these kinds of things with my spouse, but I would love to do it in-app.

Otherwise, you can really go crazy with logging in MangoBaby if you want or take a more relaxed approach if you want. It is really up to you as the user. The charts can be helpful to visualize how your child is doing and I really love the color coding and how that can even carry over to the widget.

My favorite feature is how you can set logging to Siri shortcuts so I can log diapers and feedings in the moment without ever needing to use my hands.

If those features I have listed come to MangoBaby , I will probably raise my review.

MangoBaby is very functional and intuitive to use. I really like the widget option and customizability with the paid features. The one thing that would make MangoBaby even better is making the “All Activity” section a summary of each day for the past week-10days. When I go to the pediatrician, it’s difficult to look across days for trends or easily refer to X days ago, so an at a glance summary would be convenient instead of a cumulative count of activities (which is a useless number). The summary could look like the summary provided at the top of the “today” and “yesterday” summaries in the journal. Other than this one missing feature, I love MangoBaby. Another nice to have would be the ability to attach a photo when you log diapers. In some cases there might be something you want to ask a Dr about and linking it to that logged activity would be helpful.

My husband and I love MangoBaby! The fact that it has Siri automation has been so incredibly helpful when I have my hands full during a feeding and I can just turn to my phone and tell it that I’ve started breast-feeding to log the feed. You can even change the automation phrases to be more in line with something you would naturally say. I love that it syncs across multiple devices because my husband and I can update it in real time from each of our own devices and we have my mom logged in as well so she can see MangoBaby instead of checking in with us throughout the day. The indie developer of MangoBaby clearly has design and UX experience as noted by simple design elements like switching the buttons from the left to the right side of the screen to be a better fit for whichever hand you hold your phone with. We tried some of the other big-name apps like Huckleberry and after a week or much happier having switch to Mango Baby.

Mango Baby has been a game-changer for my wife and me as we navigate the early days of parenthood. MangoBaby beautifully combines functionality with aesthetics, making it an absolute pleasure to use.

The ability to track feedings, diaper changes, and weight gains has been incredibly helpful. We no longer have to rely on memory or scribbled notes—everything is organized and easily accessible in one place. MangoBaby 's charts and data visualizations provide clear insights into our baby's progress, helping us ensure that we're on the right track.

The design of Mango Baby is stunning. It's intuitive, user-friendly, and visually appealing. Every feature feels thoughtfully designed with parents in mind. The ease of use is particularly appreciated during those late-night feedings and diaper changes when clarity and simplicity are key.

In short, Mango Baby is a must-have for new parents. It offers peace of mind, keeping all the essential information at our fingertips. Highly recommend! 🌟

Do you find yourself constantly wondering “when did my baby eat last?” Or “How long have they been awake?” If so, then this is MangoBaby for you. The home screen widgets give you the option to quickly and conveniently input information. Starting/stopping timers/logging feeds etc. They also display timer showing you how long it has been since they slept last or ate. The “hey Siri”integration is absolutely phenomenal. You can interact with MangoBaby , hands-free starting and stopping timers. I truly cannot believe that the basic functions (which are so valuable) are free. 10/10 recommend for any parent wanting to easily log information.

I have tried mannyyy different baby tracker apps since having my baby and this is the only one that I loved enough to pay for the paid version. It lets you customize which activities you see so your screen is not cluttered up with things you aren’t tracking. It also has Siri integration so you can ask Siri to track diapers and start feedings, and even switch sides for nursing. It also does the math for you of telling you how long it’s been since the last feed, sleep, or diaper change and you can customize if you want to know how long it’s been since the *start* of the last sleep/feed, or the *end* depending on your preference.

Love MangoBaby, I tested a few apps including the big name ones before our little one arrived and this one is perfect for parents looking to log all the essentials without all the marketing and pricey subscriptions. Those apps also didn’t have the easy Siri shortcut integrations or fully featured widgets that make using across Apple devices, including being able to sleepily log diapers and feedings via voice on HomePods. Also love that my wife and I can be in sync across devices quickly to pause or update the data. Excellent job on MangoBaby to the developer, I don’t think I’ve reviewed an app before but this one made me want to give you a shoutout.

Mango Baby is hands-down the perfect app for tracking all the various baby metrics you need. My wife and I bought the premium features for each of us without a second thought.

MangoBaby design is simple and elegant; it’s incredibly easy to use and fantastically flexible in both inputting and reviewing entries. Managing times and durations of events is dead simple.

And even if using something like Siri or Shortcuts isn’t your first thought, the developer’s extensive Shortcuts supports makes this an amazing hands-free experience. Pair the Shortcuts support anything that listens for “Hey Siri” (including HomePods or HomePods mini!) and you can log items with your voice, keeping your hands free to wrangle your baby. When my wife and I started using it, it was an absolute revelation.

The care and thoughtfulness the developer put into MangoBaby is astounding. There’s no annoying UI gimmicks or anything to get in between you and your data. If you’re shopping for a baby tracking app, stop here. Just install MangoBaby and seriously consider supporting this indie developer with a premium feature purchase; it’s well worth your money.

I have used MangoBaby, off and on, since my son was born. He is now 10 months and Mango is Just as fantastic as it was in the early days when my “new baby” brain just did Not work! :)

At first, I used it for keeping up with feeding, diapers and sleep. Nowadays, I only use it to help me keep up with naps/sleep mostly, as little ones sleep schedule is constantly evolving and changing.

My favorite part of the Mango app is the super useful widget. I love having it on the front page of my phone, for easy access to start and stop timers. I also truly love the way, I can customize it, so easily, for exactly what I need to keep track of. Another great feature, is that if you have any other caretakers, babysitter or a significant other, you can each have MangoBaby and share info so, everyone is in the loop!

I haven’t paid for the full version because I haven’t had to. However, just a moment ago, I decided that I would love to have all these records in my cloud so, full version is my next step! I know I won’t regret it. I actually regret notr getting the full version sooner so I could enjoy all of the other record keeping goodies they offer.

Our first child was born late pre-term, so my wife and I relied on a tracker app to measure our effort and progress. We learned that being able to enter data easily and review daily stats were critical when logging diapers, feedings, and pumping around the clock, for weeks, on barely any sleep. We also cared about the privacy of our personal data and didn’t want to provide all of this information to a third party who might abuse it. All of the options available weren’t great, and I’d even considered partnering up with a developer to make something actually decent.

Before having our new baby, I downloaded and evaluated 5 of the top-rated baby tracker apps. Maybe in the last 3 years, there was something better available? There was: dA Baby.

It has the responsiveness and system integration of a native app. The UX is intuitive and enables rapid data entry. Widgets give immediate access to the latest logs and most important inputs. Data is shared securely with iCloud and is easy to export. There’s plenty of value with the free version, but I happily paid in order to share with my partner and support future development. When I had an issue, the developer was happy to spend the time trying to diagnose the problem with me.

Highly recommended.

Took MangoBaby to track baby activities and the Siri Shortcuts were mainly why I installed it. Had to pay a small fee to share across users that helps a lot tracking baby activities when I cannot talk to others helping with baby. Siri Shortcuts help to be hands free and log diapers etc. this was one of the main reasons we switched from another popular app. Love the charts to track baby activities and love that baby stats can be logged which give the correct percentile (compared with the feedback we get from our pediatricians well baby visit vitals) We religiously use this for all trackers and definitely the best in the market currently. Would love to see an Alexa version so that we can use Alexa to track this as well.

MangoBaby was exactly what we needed. So many baby trackers out there require a subscription, which I didn’t want to do, so we started our baby tracking with an excel sheet before I found Mango Baby. Really appreciated the one time cost model. Love that I’m able to sync events with my wife, and that it just runs through CloudKit instead of having to make an account. Also love the data import feature - I was pretty easily able to adapt the data from my excel sheet to the required format. Having all that data in one place really helps me identify trends in my baby’s development. What would I love to see in the future? More charts! Lots of data we’re inputting that could make some cool charts - like pumping output vs bottle input, for example. Custom data types! Could be used for tracking other development trends without a lot of custom development. Just ideas for the way we use MangoBaby - excited to see what you have in store!

MangoBaby has everything I was looking for in a baby tracking app, and none of the useless extras I didn’t want. Another nice thing is that the developer hasn’t put too many essential features behind a paywall. The main essential feature behind a paywall is the ability to use the same account with multiple users and devices, but we were happy to pay for this once we’d gotten a chance to use MangoBaby for a while and see how seamlessly it works. I’m particularly impressed with how smoothly the Siri commands work. Even though Siri itself isn’t that great these days, with MangoBaby it always seems to work very well. That’s immensely handy when you’re taking care of a baby and can’t go type things into your phone.

We’re in our 10th month of using this app and we still love it! We tried several other apps, but this app was the one that was the most streamlined and user friendly. You can tell it was developed by a parent who lived the period of your life revolving around feedings and naps. Being able to track trends was also crucial when we were sleep training. Our son stay with family when we are at work and the fact that we were able to share the profile with them so that they could track too really helped us stay consistent and on the same page. Now we’re tracking meals and teething medications and this app is still with us. The developer is also very responsive to feedback and issues. Will always use and continue to recommend to everyone!

I have tried many baby tracking apps and never stuck to one because I felt it was hard to keep up with tracking. Mango has widgets that you can add to your home and Lock Screen that makes tracking so fast and easy. It makes middle of the night feeds easy because I dont have to open my phone and find MangoBaby , I just click it on my Lock Screen and then log feeding. It puts the timer on my Lock Screen til I mark it ended as well. This makes it so easy and effortless to use and has been a tracker I kept the longest. I am working on starting a schedule for my 1 1/2 month old so I wanted to see around when he naps and feeds and start working on being consistent. MangoBaby is the best of all ive tried and I am so glad I found it! You can also customize MangoBaby icon’s complexion which I find awesome.

Tracking sleeps/feeds/diapers is a constant part of life with a newborn, and it makes things way easier if you have an app that works well. Mango Baby is easily the best app out there. It’s well designed, private, has all the tracking features you need without the gimmicks you don’t, and has some great power-user features too.

I’ve spent days crawling MangoBaby Store and evaluating tons of sleep tracking apps, and most other apps are some combination of poorly designed, have questionable privacy policies, or are only half functional (intended to be used either alongside some piece of hardware or subscription service). A junk app is the last thing you want to deal with every couple hours throughout the day and the middle of the night, when you often have just 1 hand free for your phone as you take care of a screaming infant.

Mango Baby, on the other hand, has a simple and visually appealing interface, keeps my data private, allows my partner and I to sync data, and supports Shortcuts, which is super useful for starting timers without even unlocking my phone.

It’s clear that the developer cares a lot about making a good app. I’m thankful Mango Baby exists, because when you use an app 10-20 times a day for months on end, every bit of polish matters.

Trust me. I've tried a dozen+ over a month. Standouts here include
- Strong iOS support: useful functional as well as informational widgets, shortcuts. LIVE ACTIVITIES that truly sync between devices and caregivers. Also, I'm not sure why most baby apps refuse to use any apple design language but thankfully, Mango Baby actually friggin feels like an iOS app.
- Caregiver data sharing that is rock solid. Some other apps claim this but there is always a catch. With other apps, data doesn't usually update quickly enough and even more often there is a large issue with data consistency when sharing. Not MangoBaby.
- Data export AND import! This allowed me to bring data from other apps that I was trying into Mango Baby with the confidence that if I ever need to get the data out, I can do so without issue. I would like to see a data export shortcut, though for automating exports into a Google Sheet etc.
- An awesome indie developer who is super responsive and helpful. They're always on the mango baby Discord channel conversing with parents on usage, new features, etc

The only big thing I currently would like to see added is an Apple Watch app. I did use it some with a few other apps and it was helpful - not anywhere near helpful enough to give up Mango Baby for one of those apps, but yea, it would be nice. Otherwise five-stars!

TL;DR: MangoBaby is truly perfect for new parents and is worth every penny.

I wrote a previous review but I wanted to write another one to expand on how much my wife and I love MangoBaby and what an important part of our life it has become.

Due to some complications, our daughter had to spend time in the NICU when she was born, and when she was released we were told we had to keep close track of her milk intake. With breastfeeding problems related to the NICU stay, we also needed to keep track of my wife’s pumping volume.

Enter Mango Baby. I don’t know even where to begin. My wife isn’t too tech savvy but the beautiful user interface made it easy for her to navigate MangoBaby and easily log things. The syncing is seamless, where we can see updates on each other’s devices in real time.

The powerful charting tabs have allowed us to keep a close watch on the metrics that matter most to our situation. Again, the clean user interface has made it easy for us to navigate the information and see the data we need.

MangoBaby is also infinitely customizable. It makes it easy to set it up in the way that works best for you so you can have the information you need.

MangoBaby is worth every penny. I encourage you to buy the premium, not because it’s necessary (MangoBaby works fine without it!) but because it enables you to enjoy it all the more and it supports the incredible developer!

This is one of the few apps that I have used and instantly felt like it was well designed and built for its specific purpose and audience. Using it is almost effortless and MangoBaby has all of the features you need to keep thorough track of your baby’s stats without having to think about it - this is important when your lack of sleep makes you make bad decisions and forget things easily.

MangoBaby is highly customizable and supports live activity, Home Screen widgets and Lock Screen complications so you can easily see the latest activity. The premium upgrade is worth it - being able to leverage those features and share the data with other caregivers really makes the difference in providing a seamless experience.

The iconography in the UI is very lovely, shout out to the designer of those.

All in all this is one of the best apps I’ve purchased in a long time - the value for the money is incredible - and I highly recommend this for any parents looking for a log app like this.
