About this app

What is the eRedbook mobile app?

The eRedbook mobile app is personal child health record that has been co-designed with parents and carers. Once you have registered you'll receive NHS.UK articles that are relevant to the age of your child, or your stage of pregnancy. If you live in a connected area (ask your midwife or health visitor) you can receive copies of your child's health records. eRedbook reminds you of upcoming health reviews, screening tests and immunisations. You can record notes, track the growth of your child, and record important developmental milestones. Please give us your feedback on the eRedbook and don’t forget to tell us what other features you would like to see!

Ratings and reviews

It is a copy of the redbooks, but, despite logging into the nhs app none of the information is copied over from records. Weights are recorded at gp and put in the paper book, yet the records still have to be manually entered which is a shame. It is impossible to read my GPs writing so would be nice if the information uploaded to their patient record transfered across.

As with another review here, I found it impossible to verify ID on nhs online. Got through sending ID photo but it then wouldn't take my video verification. The file type of mp4 is apparently correct, but I don't know what their file size limit is as not described in their FAQs but I would have thought a 1-2 seconds long video at 3MB should be fine. Perhaps the app developer should work with nhs to make this more user friendly. I've uninstalled app and just using the actual/physical red book.

Application is good, but babies who were not born in the United Kingdom or kids who are older can not be linked to NHS records out of london. I think access should be linked by an option to request it online. Update: I had a baby born in england, my wife had registered on eredbook before birth, child was not linked automatically as stated on information given and neither of health visitor/midwife know about eredbook.
