I would rate the classic version 5 stars but this new updated version 4.0 is so flawed. Aside from the new look, they changed the functions and it’s just not as practical. I’d say the only improvement I like is changing the word of “pumped” feed to “expressed.” But that’s where the improvements stop. My biggest problem with the new update is they removed the toggle feature of knowing what time a feed/sleep/pump was and how long ago it was. Now you can’t toggle on the front menu screen and I have to look at the time of sleep and do the math in my head of how long ago baby’s nap was. Seriously?? I’d like to know how long my baby’s been awake so I know when she should take a nap. Same with feeding her. (Edit: just saw from another review this is a settings feature you have to turn on to see “time lapse”. I swear I saw that but didn’t even understand what it was to turn on). I used this app for my first child and it was great. Now using it for my second baby and this update is all sorts of impractical. Ugh, and the ads are now on top of the screen which obstructs baby’s picture and is super distracting. I’m reading lots of user reviews complain of all the same things. I hope the developers are paying attention and fix these problems soon.

I want to love this all, it’s intuitive and makes tracking everything really easy. BUT, the whole reason I downloaded it was I need an app where multiple caregivers (two parents and a babysitter) can record data and have it sync.

Despite online reviews saying sync is possibly with baby tracker, and despite instructions in the FAQ for how to do this, the option of “create sync group” just isn’t there when I go to the appropriate section of settings. Thinking maybe I needed to upgrade to pro to get the shareability, I stupidly went ahead and paid for the upgrade, despite reading that the only benefit to pro was Siri and Apple Watch capability. That was at least as advertised— upgrading to pro did not unlock the only missing feature I need to use this app successfully.

Developers— please fix this!! This app has potential and I like it better than the handful of other baby tracker apps I’ve tried. The export feature in particular is awesome for a data nerd like myself, only I wish the data could be exported in usable .xls or .csv format rather than pdf. The pdf export did convert to google sheets without too much hassle after I ran it through ocr in adobe and saved as a spreadsheet.

This app is great for tracking most things. Sleep on the other hand is frustrating. There are two options for how sleep is added up and neither fits real life. Split at midnight automatically breaks the overnight sleep into two days, otherwise the sleep remains on the day that it began. In real life, I want to know how much my child slept the night before. When there are wake-ups in the middle of the night, this messes up tracking because the first half of the night stays on the day before and the second half goes on the next day. Middle of the night wake-ups are reality for anyone who has an infant and most likely all users of this app. You can set daytime and night time hours, but this doesn’t seem to change the breakdown of sleep totals. Pretty frustrating when trying to look back patterns.

It would also be nice to be able to record how well the child went down for the night and crying in the night that doesn’t result in a wake up.

I like the nursing tracking, but would be great to add an end time since nursing may start and stop. I have just been putting it in notes, but it would be so nice if time would auto set for when you stop the session, but be modifiable after that.
