Ratings and reviews

Doesn't work well on android as others reviewers have said. The "refresh" icon never disappears and manually refreshing does nothing. I'm not able to see what my partner enters unless I close the app & reopen it. If I enter null for the time of feedings, it automatically enters it as a "1 minute" long feeding. Uploading a daily photo from my gallery, it zooms in 10x & I'm not able to edit it. Just to name a few issues. I'm not sure why more effort hasn't been made to fix the android app.

Good for tracking baby's stuff (feeding, weight, diapers, sleep) it's great that it can sync in multiple devices for a single account. However, one major drawback is that the app layout for android is much less well designed than for iPhones: timer buttons are very small (hard to press the right one especially when half asleep at nighy) and setting times and dates is pretty counterintuitive (selected options are in gray instead of color). It also lacks a night mode (it's blinding at night).

Love the potential of the features on this app but unfortunately there are a few shortcomings. Syncing the app on two phones is a nightmare, my husband will upload a picture for the day and it won't show up on my phone until I close and re-open the app multiple times and sometimes even then it won't work. The entire photo function needs tweaking with a cropping option. I love the timer for feedings, the weighing feature works great, as well as keeping track of diapers and other stats.
