Baby + | Your Baby Tracker

My husband and I use the app for our three month old twins (because no matter how hard I try, they refuse to be on the same schedule) and this update is nowhere near as user friendly! The design is definitely an upgrade, but switching between children isn’t as simplified and I don’t feel it’s as user friendly. There are a few more steps for simple things (like finding out what time the last feed time was). And you can’t edit the sleep start time during the sleep session anymore, you have to wait until they wake up and it’s so hard for me to accurately remember when each of them fell asleep, ESPECIALLY if they fall asleep at different times but their sleep sessions overlap. I have five kids and I need EASY. I absolutely loved the old version but am really struggling with the update and looking to switch. With all of that being said, this app is incredibly breastfeeding friendly, which I LOVE. It also has so many other features that your basic tracking. The sound machine built in, the growth charts, the fact that you can literally build your baby book within the app... I love everything! It’s just hard when you’ve learned one way to do things and then you basically have to relearn the program.

I really liked this app before the updates. The ONLY thing I would have changed was the last sleep time should have been from the wake up time, not the start of the nap. After the update, I hate everything about this app. It was so easy to track sleep patterns and quickly see when the last nap, feed, and diaper change was. Now you have to go into two or three different screens just to see, or input, this information that was the first thing you saw on the previous version. Now, instead of showing the time of the last whatever, it shows the amount of a feed, duration of a nap, or whether it was a wet or soiled diaper. Who cares! The last time of each is way more useful. Most babies drink the same amount at each feed and I’m pretty sure most moms remember if the last diaper was soiled. You can view this info in the details. The last time for each is what should be shown. And trying to track nap patterns is out the window. Also, you have to change the type of bottle EVERY SINGLE TIME! For people like me who wanted but are unable to breastfeed, it’s like salt in a wound every time I enter a feed. Before the updates I would have given this app 4.5 stars (5 if the last nap time was corrected.) Now, I give it a very low 2. This app is completely ruined for me now so I’m looking for a new one.

I was in love with this app before I was forced to update it. It was easy to use and understand. That was extremely helpful when during the night I’m hardly awake and fumbling trying to figure out the last feeding and diaper change. It was also easy to quickly add his diaper changes and feedings with a simple click of the +. Now the process to add feedings and diaper changes especially during the time I’m already exhausted is unnecessarily difficult. It’s also annoying that my feeding method is no longer saved. I continually need to switch from breastfeeding to formula. I like to see the development stages which is also difficult to locate now. This update is not user friendly and was not made with parents of infants in mind. Those of us that are trying to quickly and easily add or find info at ungodly hours. My son has gerd and takes an antacid which was easy to track using the medication feature. That’s now completely screwed and confusing to use. You had a wonderful app that I frequently recommended and now it seems as though it’d be easier to find another app that’s user friendly when my brain is to exhausted to decode your ridiculous update.

I was loving the tracking features until the update. I’m heavily debating switching tracking apps because of the update and how unfriendly the app has become. The front screen used to say right on top which side I breastfed on last but now I have to scroll to find it in the activity section. Logging in a breastfeeding is also very annoying even though you can now enter any time instead of 5 minute intervals. BUT you cannot log in feeds in the future. This is annoying because if you click manual log in it will only allow the time to be set for when you clicked to log in. Example: I start breastfeeding at 12:00 and click manual at 12:02, the app will only allow the length of the breastfeeding to be 12:00-12:02. If you want to alter that you have to save and go into the entry. The tracking of which side should not automatically be in the middle of Right and Left, if I click that I started out on the Left then leave the entire time to the left side and allow me to change instead of having the meter in the middle! I don’t know what it is but on my iPhone it is pretty difficult to move that meter bar.

I was prompted to update this app for the fifth time in the middle of the night while feeding my son, so I finally did. Bad idea. When I went to lay him back down and turn on the app's white noise feature I was met with a "Coming Soon" message. Who releases an update that is incomplete?!?! No I've got a restless baby and was struggling to find a white noise track. Then this morning I wanted to know what time I last fed the baby. In the last version of the app, that would be right on the home screen: last feed 2 hours 20 minutes ago Right breast. It was super helpful. Now the home screen tells me how long he fed for not when he fed. I had to look and look and look through the app to find the time line for recent feedings. It's under tracking>feeding and then you have to sxrool down three times. And that only shows one type of feeding: breast OR bottle OR solids. The old version would show all types of feedings in one timeline, so there's lots of steps in order to figure out the most recent feeding and therefore what time the baby will need to eat next. In summary, the new updates make this app no longer useful to me. That's unfortunate because I used it every day at every feeding and sleeping.
