Ovia Parenting & Baby Tracker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Overall Good AppI’ve utilized all of Ovia’s apps the parenting version is my least favourite as it crashes the most & when posting inquiries via the community the text allowed for a post are significantly limited..Version: 1.6.3
✓ GlitchyI used both the fertility app and pregnancy app before this one and I loved them both. From day one, the parenting app has been slow and glitchy, even causing my brand new phone to freeze. I have plenty of available space on my phone so I know it’s not that. It takes forever to open and fully load before I can enter any data or start to track my feeding times. Just in the last few days the orange circle that shows how long since your last breastfeed and which side used has stopped showing data. Just two dash makes and it’s stuck on R wether I used my left side or not last feed. Definitely disappointed in this app..Version: 1.5.5
✓ No responses to my questions in the community sectionUsed the pregnancy app and it was great especially with the community section where you can ask questions anonymously. The parenting app started just as great but these past few months have been pretty terrible. I don’t know if there just aren’t enough users on the app to answer your questions or if I’m just alone with my questions/problems... a huge majority of my questions don’t get answered at all. I’ve seen others post in the community that they’re experiencing the same issue so again... I don’t know if it’s an issue of lack of users who are able to answer the question or if there’s a glitch in the app where the question isn’t available for those to answer..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Where are my comments compiled?When I make a comment on my child’s sleep activity, it doesn’t appear in any compiled list. I would like to easily look back at the comments I’ve written without having to scroll through the calendar. Also, there needs to be a chart or graph that shows an overview of my child’s sleep activity so I can easily see any trends/patterns..Version: 2.6.0
✓ Often Doesn’t save daily updatesI can’t count how many times I enter in my daughter’s information throughout the day (food, sleep, diaper) and when I go to update it the day completely blank or didn’t save my last few. The information provided is relatively helpful but if you get this app for tracking your child’s day I don’t recommend it. Before the update I had no issues with the app but one day it updated and I’ve had issues with it ever since..Version: 1.8.7
✓ BugIt was a 5/5 app until the most recent update which won’t let me record feeding times. Super frustrating when my baby is cluster feeding!.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Crashes phoneExpected good ideas and info from this after using the pregnancy app but every time I open it my whole phone crashes. Going to have to delete I’m afraid.Version: 1.1.4
✓ Not biologically appropriate adviceDeleted app after reading that I should be putting my 7 week old baby down sleepy but awake. Terrible advice. No thanks, I’ll stick to the biologically appropriate feeding to sleep thanks..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Terrible app, doesn’t work at all.I tried this app as I loved the pregnancy tracker app from Ovia. Everything was working as I needed it too until I tried to send a invite to my partner. I sent the email link at least 10 times not a single one went through over the course of several hours. I then tried to change my email address on my account to see if there was a problem with my account. The app says saved and then does whatever it wants. I deleted my account completely to set up a new one using my Apple ID login. It registered back to my old account which was supposed to be deleted??? And then I tried to set it up completely brand new and it says error and did nothing further. Incredibly disappointed!!!.Version: 2.2.0
✓ Using this dailyUsing this daily for intake/output tracking & to monitor feeds. Needs to include somewhere to keep track of vomiting when bub is unwell. Has the ability to track other main things not sure why this isn’t included..Version: 1.8.7
✓ Not badNot as good as the fertility and pregnancy apps. Freezes often and there are annoying little glitches but I find it easy to use and articles are pretty good..Version: 1.5.2
✓ Helpful but can be betterLove the breastfeeding timer and the milestones even though some milestones are not relevant and you can’t get rid of them (i.e. we’re not using a pacifier) The articles are quite interesting and mostly relevant. The sleep tracker is worthless, it would be nice if it works the same as the breastfeeding timer… the poop and wee tracker sort of works, but it’s a shame that it doesn’t timestamp the wee and poops or that there’s an option for a nappy to have both..Version: 1.8.11
✓ Loved until it stopped workingLoved this app so much for tracking feeds until it stopped working and couldn’t load all my tracker data...so frustrating, I recommend trying something more reliable.Version: 1.5.5
✓ Can't open app keeps crashingApp won't open, freezes on main screen then crashes.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Room for improvementCompared to the ovulation and pregnancy apps, this one is a little clunky. It often has error alerts, doesn’t save the data entered and the home page doesn’t update the time since last feed circles etc. The saving process for data entries could be simplified. Would be great if you could log babies measures: weight, height etc..Version: 1.5.7
✓ Background Refresh Losing DataI have been using ask the Ovia apps: Fertility, Pregnancy, and Parenting for several years. While breastfeeding though, the Parenting app keeps refreshing and losing my start time and time fed on one side before I switch sides. I have turned off the, “Background Refresh,” setting and have even toggled it on and off, but it keeps refreshing. This is frustrating because I am trying to calculate math when it should be stored in the app. I do not understand how this is still an issue after I have tried several things to fix it. It also does not help that there is nowhere to contact anyone for support on the Ovia website. Can anyone please assist? Why is this still an issue? Can anyone fix this bug?.Version: 5.11.0
✓ Great app, needs moreI love this app for so many reasons - the easy, colourful platform, the timers, the visual countdowns from the last time I nursed, the informative articles. But what I think this is missing that the Ovia pregnancy app had are the health check ins (these should be for baby), measurement options, and ESPECIALLY this app needs a daily note section (just like in the Ovia pregnancy app). If those elements were to be added, this would be a 5 star for sure!!!!!!.Version: 1.6.3
✓ Terrible appDoesn’t work properly, you get abused in the community by others. Not the app you want use..Version: 1.9.2
✓ Was great, then there was an ‘update’...Crashes and then won’t load following recent update. Please fix it, it used to be a great app..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Good, but could be better!I downloaded this app because I really liked the fertility app and LOVED the Pregnancy app which was the best pregnancy app out of all those I used! However, I feel this app could be developed to have more functionality and information so it becomes a must-have, useful tool like the pregnancy app!.Version: 1.0.8
✓ UnreliableThe app doesn’t save all info added. Even with restarting the app and phone, info either won’t update or will disappear. Would not recommend..Version: 1.5.6
✓ Great... butThe daily emails i receive... alot if the time the link to more info goes nowhere which us a shame coz id like to read more..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Could be betterLove the fertility and pregnancy apps from Ovia but I feel like there could be some more details added for the parenting app compared to some others..Version: 2.5.0
✓ DisappointedI had previously used the pregnancy and ovulation apps by Ovia so expectations were quite high when I downloaded the parenting app after giving birth. I was hoping it would have the same features as the pregnancy app where I could log how I was feeling and my symptoms, entering information about the birth and tracking breastfeeding, sleep patterns and nappy changes. This app is incredibly poor to the point I’ve deleted it and am seeking something else. There is so much they could develop..Version: 1.0.16
✓ Doesn’t list data in a useful wayDon’t love the way it displays data. I can’t see total feeding time etc.Version: 1.8.10
✓ What happened???It was a great app and both my husband and I found it useful to keep track of a lot of things. But now it doesn’t properly show how long ago a feed or bottle was. I also wish it showed the time of the diapers instead of clumping some of them together. It would also be great to see a sleeping trend. Like the weight trend in the pregnancy app..Version: 1.5.7
✓ Breastfeeding tracker doesn't updateI've been using this app for 2.5 months, it was suggested through the ovia pregnancy app when I had the baby so I downloaded it out of convenience. I've noticed that the tracker is slow to update so if I rely on that to know which side to start on, it's often wrong. Also, when you manually add a feeding session, if you don't remember to click save, the session is erased. As a new, sleep deprived parent, the additional click is often forgotten, in my opinion it would be nice if it automatically saved when you added the entry..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Initially good...So I first found this app after using Ovia Pregnancy and initially loved it! It’s great for new moms (like myself) to track how often and long baby is eating and keep track of dirty diapers without having to think too much about it because honestly you don’t have time for that. It also has great advice you can read about pertaining to where your baby is developmentally. It also has a feature that lets you document when your baby achieves a milestone which is great to use to later fill in your baby book. However one day after using the breastfeeding timer part it froze and now anytime I open the app it has the timer still at the time it froze on and will not let me read any more articles or look to see what milestones are in the age range my baby is. So overall it’s a great app I guess just don’t input too much information into it or it freezes and not sure how to get it to clear out without losing everything I’ve added in there including milestones 😭.Version: 1.5.7
✓ No features!The app doesn’t have any of the features I expected having used the Ovia pregnancy app. Even basic things like entering your child’s dob so it tells you their age in weeks on the home screen, which is helpful! Seems to be no way to filter your feed so I get lots of irrelevant articles, eg, about twins - when I only have one daughter! No way to enter info to track your babies weight or length / feeds or sleeps - which would be super useful. And it would be useful to be able to track info about yourself so you can look back and think about causes/effects - as was possible in the pregnancy app! Ovia should make the parenting app have the same sort of features as the pregnancy app, which was great!.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Good but useless adds all the timeGood to track daily diapers, feeding and sleep. I wish it didn’t have so many useless formula adds since on my settings I put exclusively breastfeeding. It feels like the world just push us to don’t breastfeed our babies, and give them formulas, bottles and pacifiers instead. It’s all about money right, breastfeeding is for free. Parenting apps should ALWAYS support breastfeeding since it’s the best for the baby and if a parent put breastfeed only on the settings, cut off the formula adds and replace them for other useful stuff. There’s the customization setting for this reason right!? That’s the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Keeps Crashing.. Let DownI was loving this app, until recently when it kept crashing & stopped responding after a good 5 minute load up when you open the app. So frustrating..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Stops working more than I can use itLook. Great app to track feeding etc but it crashes and stops working more than I can actually use it. The amount of times I have tried to go into the app to check a feeding time and it just hadn’t worked is a joke. I’m ready to just use another app..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Missing baby’s ageThe app is ok. Wish it would include mental leaps information like the Wonder Weeks app. The other useful feature that is missing is the baby’s age in weeks on the calendar (like the Ovia pregnancy). I found this information very useful especially for clinic and gp appointments they always ask for the baby’s age. This is the main reason i would not recommend this app. Please add babys age in week atleast for up to 6 months.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Disappointing(EDIT: the original issues I experienced are fixed but now the app constantly says he last ate on the left side. This is super annoying because I usually just quick glance at the main screen to determine which side to feed him on if I’ve forgotten. So this is really frustrating and needs to be fixed.) I used the pregnancy app almost my entire pregnancy (once I found it I used it the rest of my pregnancy), and loved it, I kept track of appointments, my blood pressure readings and I loved seeing my babies development within the womb. But this app has not met my expectations from the amazing pregnancy app. I expected to be able to easily track doctors appointments and vaccinations height and weight etc. Right now I just make a note on the app calendar of what his height and weight were, vaccines and a photo from the day. I’d love to see some work done on those issues and maybe an addition of appointments to the calendar or a doctors section where you can track appointments and vaccinations etc..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Love everything but the force closeI was prompted to use the app after using the Ovia pregnancy app! I love it , it’s been so helpful keeping track of nursing , sleep and everything else especially for the midnight feedings where I’m too tired to remember when my LO last ate. The horrible downside ... it lags 9 times out of 10 when I have it open and it force closes a lot . I keep up on the updates but it never fails at least a few times a day I can’t start the nursing cycle right away and right now I can’t even get the app to open . I’ve tried to open it and it force closes before I can even start the nursing timer . It’s such a bummer 😕..Version: 1.5.6
✓ Not as good as pregnancy appI started off with the fertility app and when I was pregnant, got the pregnancy app. I was very happy with both apps, but the parenting one just isn’t what I expected after the first two. After going back, I can see that they didn’t mention having any of the stuff I’ve come to expect, but I would’ve liked something to keep track of Dr’s appointments, an immunization schedule, questions for Dr, tracking feeding and diaper changes, etc. On the other hand, I do enjoy the community and they have helped me out already (baby’s less than a week old). I also do enjoy the articles which can be interesting at least and even downright helpful. Not sure about the milestones yet, too early to say how I feel about them. Hopefully over time, Ovia will add a few more helpful tools to this app and make it just as good as the others..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Form Before Function?We have been using Ovia products through the entire process of having our now 8.5 month old son (Fertility, Pregnancy, Parenting) but a recent design update has rendered the Parenting app much more difficult to use. The data entry form is one long flowing page with closely packed fields and until recently the different sections were delineated by very distinct background colors so that at a glance (which is all a parent with no sleep or time can often provide) it was very easy to know where you were on the page. These colors also coordinated with the highlight boxes on the front page so it was all very clear. Recently the design was updated so that everything is instead now a sleek white background which might look nice but actually just serves to make the entire form a jumbled mess without very close inspection. I can understand the theory but in this case the new UI design simply creates a significantly worse user experience. Perhaps you could create a design selector (Classic, Modern, Dark Mode) or something if a new look is something you feel is necessary, because it was much more functional before..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Love ItI really love this app but there are features I miss from ovia pregnancy. One being the calendar feature that tells you how many weeks you are. I would love to be able to move through the calendar and see how many weeks my baby will be on different dates. Another thing I miss is how easy it was to add milestones. I don’t love how the milestone feature is set up in this version..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Has potentialAfter using ovia fertility and being very impressed, I couldn't wait to use ovia parenting! Unfortunately, it does not work anywhere near as well with the app constantly crashing and in most cases, failing to even open..Version: 1.0.13
✓ App having issues saving logged informationI really enjoy this app, however I’ve been having issues with it saving feeding times and sleep times. I add them in and save. When I refresh the content the info I put in isn’t there. Please review this issue and make an update!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Latest updateSince the most recent update I can’t seem to be able to retrospectively add in feeds or sleep as it greys out certain times. This is frustrating as obviously I can’t always reach my phone at the time or forget to log. Please change this back..Version: 1.7.4
✓ Update crashes appI’ve been using this app since my daughter was born back in August. I’ve loved it so far, especially because my husband has access to the information on his phone too and can log diapers and bottles when I am not around. However, this recent update has made the app unusable. When I open the app, it shows that it is loading, but after a few minutes, it crashes and closes itself. The few times that it does show it has finished loading, it is frozen, and I can’t click on anything. I’ve tried closing the app and even restarting my phone, and nothing works. Please fix this ASAP!.Version: 1.5.6
✓ Crashes a lotI have twins and have been using this for about two months. I chose it because I used the Ovia fertility and pregnancy apps. I like most of it. I wish I could log breastfeeding for two babies at once though (it makes you do the second manually if the timer is running). I’m not sure if the issue is that I am trying to switch back and forth between the info for two babies, but it is regularly slow and freezes. It also completely closes a few times a day. It always works after reopening it or giving it a few extra seconds. But that can be pretty frustrating when you want to log quickly and get back to two babies..Version: 1.5.5
✓ Room for improvementI wish I had switch to another app when my baby was just a few days old, it I figured I already had a few days logged so I’d keep it and now I regret it. The app is often slow to load, but that’s not the worst part for me. First of all I don’t understand why the summary of feeds is accessed by taping on diapers, not feedings, I don’t like that there’s no time mark for the diapers, I often can’t remember if I logged one, if the time was logged I could look back and figure it out. I also don’t like some of the milestones, they just aren’t appropriate in my opinion. “First babysitter” isn’t a milestone and it came up way to early in my opinion. Also some of the articles come up at inappropriate times, like way after the info would have been helpful. But I think the thing that app lacks most is a place to log weight and length. Also the AAP and WHO recommend breastfeeding exclusively for at least the first 6 months for most babies.... the breastfeeding log should be first, not bottles, with formula listed before breast milk! I wish I had paid $5 for the app I used when I had my older child. Please make some changes Ovia, this could be a great app but now it’s majorly lacking!.Version: 1.5.9
✓ Not worth the hassleApp did not provide info that was relevant to the way I parent. Numerous emails to delete my account have been ignored..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Three days in and been already had hours of downtimeCountless errors stating ‘unavailability’ or ‘we’ll be right back’ - surely not usual service for any application?.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Sick of my app being downI normally love this app but now it’s constantly not working.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Great app with great features, but not accessible to all disabilitiesThe app has awesome features, but its accessibility for parents with sight loss is minimal. The app works with VoiceOver, but in a very limited way. Someone blind would have difficulty accessing milestones, adding data for their child like ounces consumed, diapers soiled, etc. Still, the articles from the app are open-minded and sound for all demographics, with notable articles tackling difficult issues like adoptive parents, same-sex couples, and LGBTQ persuasions..Version: 1.8.7
✓ Great - if it worked!This app would be really helpful providing it worked. The read up is great and it says it gives lots of helpful information regarding babies development but the app 9 times out of 10 won’t even open up. On the odd occasion it does as soon as you click on a section to open it the app will freeze and close down! It’s a shame as the Ovia fertility and Ovia pregnancy apps are great and I used them both through trying to conceive and while pregnant. It just needs fixing! :/.Version: 1.0.15
✓ Great, but still lackingLoved Ovia for fertility and pregnancy but this one seems like it’s not gotten a facelift in a while. Would be nice to track more of baby’s information (weight, measurements, etc)..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Has to be connect to InternetThis app could be amazing if it would also work offline. It’s not healthy having your phone connected to Internet 24/7, so then you can’t capture night time feeds etc..Version: 1.6.7
✓ Great app but can’t add feeds or nappiesI have the iPhone XS Max so I don’t know if this is the problem why I can’t add anything to the diary or that my partner invited me to the app.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Needs improvementFew bugs it seems very slow, sometimes buttons are missing and freezes a lot otherwise it has some useful information.Version: 1.2.6
✓ UselessRecorded feeds and nappies throughout the night, next morning all the information is gone! Useless!!!.Version: 1.5.6
✓ Helpful to track last feeding, but lacking graphs to show change over timeAs a new mom, its hard to have perspective- bc sleep deprevation -you're just operating one day at a time. So it would be helpful if this app actually graphed the data I'm inputting each day to show me how my baby has changed over time, eating less often and sleeping more etc. I do like that multiple users can input data, ex: if my husband feeds the baby/changes a diaper. I would like to see where my baby falls on standard growth curves for age, weight. Etc. I liked all of ovias other apps, fertility and pregnancy, both very functional and helpful. This one does the basics but seems like it's not yet thought out..Version: 1.4.0
✓ App crashes iPhoneUnfortunately this app makes my iPhone crash or run painfully slowly every time I use it. Such a shame. I am having to uninstall it..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Useful but needs to improveI love the tracking feature for diapers, sleeps, and bf of my baby, but a lot of the times I need to enter the information a couple of times because it doesn’t save it!.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Doesn’t apply to me and my premature babyUsed all the other Ovuline apps in my journey of getting pregnant - but when my baby was born at 30wks Gestation - I announced my newborn through the app which then told me to download ‘parenting app’ but unfortunately does not apply to premature babies. Everyday I read what a full term baby should/could be doing but nothing for a premature baby and Mum..Version: 1.1.4
✓ App good community notLoved the app itself but the community has been horrible…the other moms that comment are so rude and judgemental, how is the pregnancy apps community so much better than the parenting one! Yikes.Version: 5.14.0
✓ Good but glitchyThe glitches whenever you try to save something are mega annoying and ruin the whole experience.Version: 1.0.12
