WebMD Baby for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great appI love this app and its extremely helpful in tracking all my baby's development. However, I would like the timer to actually STOP when I click on stop. I currently do a manual input of time to backdate timer. Becomes a bit tedious when you have other priorities and you need this to work as conveniently as possible. Updates will be most appreciated but otherwise a great app..Version: 1.8
✓ Not quite what you need.The reminder alert should start from the start time of the feeding , not the end. It’s also no good of an alert if it’s just a banner and not an alarm (timer with sounds). It also doesn’t seem to let you add how much was consumed in the nursing session so that you can add that to the amount the baby is eating. It also does not allow you have a separate pumping reminder..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Tries too hard to be everythingI just want an app that tracks breastfeeding and diapers. For that simple need, this app falls short. It’s not intuitive to reach the nursing tracker, and I really don’t like how many steps it takes to reach the daily record so you know which side to start on. There also isn’t any way to track patterns (seems to be a common theme for these apps in general). You can barely make sense of the data for the last day - especially while sleep deprived! Also very glitchy. It keeps sending me back to the home page without warning, and as I said it’s hard enough to reach the timer as it is... In fairness their reminder setup is a good one, and if you’re interested in articles and advice that seems helpful. But I’m going to look elsewhere..Version: 2.3.5
✓ DisappointedApp keeps asking me to let it know if my baby has been born. Already have 2 kids none on the way but it defaults to this new baby and won't go back even when I select my current child. Update sucks.Version: 2.3.4
✓ Didn't save after update!!I'm a tad upset 😞 I've been using this app since my last daughter was born 5 Nov 15 & I haven't had a problem w/the updates until now! All of my info, pics, heights/weights are GONE! & unfortunately I didn't have a baby book as I was using this app! 😖😭 I'm devastated & saddened..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Misogynistic & Outdated ArticlesFantastic for general medical advise, but don’t expect anything modern from the recommended articles. For example, ‘Sex life after baby’ assumes Herero couples & recommends getting Dad to watch the baby for a few minutes so Mom can rest to get in the mood. Seriously? Bribe your husband into helping care for his child with sex... that alone is enough to make me delete this app, but other articles are equally as outdated & infuriating to read..Version: 2.8
✓ Love the app, hate the crashingGreat app for tracking things with baby, but it crashes and closes on me all the time. That is frustrating when trying to track breastfeeding. Hopefully that can get fixed because otherwise I love the features..Version: 2.4
✓ Fantastic AppLove love love. It's so useful and helpful. Every new parent should get this app..Version: 1.7
✓ Works but wish there was moreThis seems to be the best tracker app (with great WebMD information backed in) that I could find with a reliable watch companion app. The others I have tried (sleepbaby) which were paid apps did not deliver properly on the watch side (glitchy). Back to WebMD Baby. It works! The features it does has work well and allow for manual evaluation of the input data. Which leads me to my main complaint. There is minimal summary data and no charting. Lastly, there is one annoyance with the watch app that I hope they reconsider. They have decided that it is beneficial to reorder the tracker list based on last used. This makes muscle memory impossible and midnight tracking difficult. Without these features added/fixed the app will remain in the sub 3-5 star rating..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Easier to view TrackingsJust downloaded. Like the looks so far, but would like to be able to SEE all of the Tracker information in order of time as they happen. Instead of being organized by diaper change, feeding, and naps... it should show all the activities in a row with how they happened during the day. I.e.- 8:00a diaper change, then 8:30 feeding, then 9:00 nap, then 10:00 wake up, then 10:30 diaper change..Version: 2.3.6
✓ Constantly crashesConstantly crashes and the timer doesn't work all the time..Version: 2.2
✓ Great features but…I was very excited about the collaboration feature of this app, but after many, many tries, it will not send because I cannot select the baby in the invite form. The whole reason I downloaded this app was the collaboration feature..Version: 2.9
✓ Ads have ruined the appThis was a GREAT app for tracking all things with our baby... then, they bottom bar of ads happened, and the app became a total nightmare. Now, every time I attempt to manually enter anything with a scroll wheel, the ad covers 1/2 the wheel and I'm left guessing. With no way to pay for ad-free, I'm left looking for an alternative..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Not great for co-parentingSince downloading this 6 months ago, my husband and I have never once been able to “collaborate” as the app intended. This means we have shared one log-in, so that at least we could both be logging diapers and feedings (using combo of nursing and bottles). This has led to bugginess in entries getting either lost or double-counted, as well as our apps recently no longer updating at all with the information from the other one. It’s incredibly frustrating..Version: 3.3
✓ Not working no moreNot working since update.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Not sure how it got 4 starsThis app does not work. Sure it may do some of the tracking and it does provide pertinent information about caring for a baby. But for me, the most important parts of it the app did not work. The photo library, being able to are other people so we can share the tracking of activities, and others. Wrote to their support and have not heard back after 48 hours. Not even an acknowledgement that they received my complaint. Do yourself a favor and get the "baby tracker".Version: 2.5
✓ Glitchy and incompleteThe app routinely opens without the navigation buttons at the bottom and has to be completely closed to reset. It also lacks a report export function to see feeding totals over the course of days - it’s extremely inconvenient to navigate between days’ data (multiple clicks and whole screens). Also, entering the PIN every 5 seconds is annoying, especially for the breastfeed timer. Other apps are able to stay logged in, please figure this out, you’re not a bank with my secure info on file....Version: 2.7
✓ Little data analysis- and lots of glitchesWe chose this app because it has the ability for multiple users to enter data from Multiple devices- after using it for 2 months now- this is about the only good thing. We track all food and diaper activity. Every single bit. Yet- there is no way for me to see trends or an analysis. Aka - what's the average diapers per day? Can I get a graph depiction? There are really easy things to add to enhance- but this has nothing. And from WebMD I'd expect more. The worst one is the feeding though. Honestly? No way to see daily totals side by side- at least? I am impressed by the LACK of data analysis- which is the most important thing for new parents- KNOWING how their little one is doing. If we use the app- we need to be able to analyze the data. I will be looking for alternate apps and will manually transfer everything if I have to. That is how frustrated I am getting. For new parents- if you want to know your averages for your little one- don't waste time using this app- it does not provide you that option! Also- it glitches. We have lost records because of it and - had some unfortunate "midnight discussions" about not logging information- when it turns out they had!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Bummed :(I’ve had this app for almost 4 yrs and logged both my kids growth. I recently upgraded my phone and discovered both kid files were wiped out!!! I’m so upset I didn’t write the info down but I honestly thought the info would still be there like all other apps. Anyone know how I can find it? I’m so sad!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ App won't openJust updated app and more it won't open at all..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Can’t collaborateApp seems great at first glance. However, after setting up our account and inputting baby info, the app would not let me add my wife via the “collaboration” option. I would receive “network connection error” via the app. I tried force closing the app, restarting my phone, using wifi and LTE data, and different emails. Nothing worked. App is useless to us unless we can both input and sync baby’s data. So we will be deleting and finding another app to use..Version: 2.5.1
✓ Requires personal infoNot free, requires annoying registration. Deleted..Version: 1.7
✓ Great but could use improvementsLove the fact that you can share info with family but have made multiple suggestions for improvements, like exporting data and the home page instead of data entry page is annoying.Version: 2.3.4
✓ Won't even installDon't bother with this garbage..Version: 2.2
✓ Must create log on to get accessMust create log on to get access to app. Deleted..Version: 2.1
✓ Ads. Trash.Great app - but has tedious and intrusive ads that hard are not to press. no upgrade path. Thus, it’s trash..Version: 2.4
✓ ErrorSays “Error” Network connection error when selecting Invite Collaborators in settings.Version: 3.3
✓ Seems glitchyI have been using this app for about 2 months now and I love it because I am able to track feeding schedules and I like timing how long my son has been eating for. The problem I find is that when I set the nursing timer and then exit out of the app to look at something else, the timer will reset back to zero as if I didn't start it. This has happened multiple times. At first I thought I was just not thinking clearly and must have forgotten to set it, but I have tested this out a few more times and it keeps happening. I found that I have to wait about 20 seconds before I can leave the timer screen and I have to keep checking back with it in order to make sure it's still working. This is extremely inconvenient especially for sleep deprived parents..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Wouldn’t allow me to collaborateWon’t link to my partner’s account. Not free as it requires the needless submission of personal information..Version: 2.4
✓ So far so good...Just started using the app about a week ago and so far we like it. It’s something me and my husband can share and keep track of everything together. I just wish it had a pumping tracker so I can keep track of what I pump. I had to download a separate app just for pumping😕..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Web MD BabyThis was a great App that despite being for iPhone users worked well on my IPad. I would have rated five stars. But the latest update, 3rd Jan 2015, has rendered it useless..Version: 2.0
✓ Good appI like the easy tracker of inputs and out puts. The notes function allows you to quickly jot down other things such as when you took medication or q's for dr. I don't like that the input and out puts are on separate lists. It would be good if you could get a capture of the full day if sleep, feeding and eating..Version: 2.0.1
✓ New version is too tedious!!!When you are breastfeeding you don't have the ability to always use two hands and you have to move quickly. The new version has too many steps to add a nursing journal entry!!!! Old version way easier to use!.Version: 2.2
✓ Like the app but articles are missingLots of good stuff, but there are much needed articles that are missing. On my main page, I see “Baby Development: Your 1-month-old”, but when I click on it, there’s nothing there except the source/written by info. Probably keep this pending what I find on other apps, because there’s a great search feature and I love being able to look up my weird questions... but I need my Development articles..Version: 2.4
✓ Not impressedBasicly no point in getting this app until after babys born. even then theres never new info. read once then thats it..Version: 2.1
✓ Disappointing!!Make sure your phone doesn't much up otherwise you'll lose ALL details of your children!! Very annoying, a back up to each user is coming soon... Bit late guys!! 😒😠.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Graph?Am I being dumb or is there no chart feature for the height, weight and head measurements? This seems like a very basic and fundamental function that I cannot find..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Good idea but app in Apple Watch not workingThe nursing timer on the Apple Watch doesn't work. Please fix!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Annoying and buggyMy wife and I have used this for the last six months to track our baby's diapers and bottles. The one shining feature is the ability to sync between phones. That doesn't make up for the terrible input controls. See, every time you input a bottle you're presented with a scroll wheel control. This is fine if you're tracking in oz, I suppose, but we track in ml. There are two wheels, one for the number and one for ml or oz. We have to pick ml every time because there no way to set a default, and if you accidentally bump the wrong spot on the control it switches back to oz and you have to re-scroll all the way from zero to 180 or whatever. Super annoying. A number pad would be so much easier to use. This app also lacks any sort of reasonable reporting or export. The most you can see is a day at one time and there is no way to see, for example, a graph of total eaten by day over the past week. There's no way to get a spreadsheet of the data either, so even if you wanted to make a graph in excel it's impossible. Oh, and in a recent version they added ads that cover the input control sometimes but not always. Extremely annoying at 2am..Version: 2.3.5
✓ Cannot actually add collaboratorApp would be awesome. But you can’t actually add a collaborator (your partner) to the app. It has an error and will not link. Number one thing I need in an app is for my partner and I to both have access to it..Version: 2.6
✓ Erases inputAp worked well for tracking tools up until two months ago. It started deleting my data right after I input. Sometimes it will randomly reappear but not always. Very frustrating when I don't know how much/when my baby has eaten or napped! I emailed them a month ago and it's still not fixed! This was by far my favorite app for tracks by tools until it stopped working! My baby is nine months old and it just randomly stopped working two months ago! Please fix it so I can use it again, fir now going with another ap!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ A little presumptuousSome of the general information is quite useful but when it comes to parenting it assumes everyone is doing this as a couple - makes single parents feel a little obscure and has no advice for them.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Can’t invite collaboratorWhen trying to send the invite for the father of my baby I can’t because it keeps saying “choose a baby” but it won’t click on the one baby’s profile I have..Version: 3.0
✓ Does not sync wellI downloaded this app because it was compatible with my Apple Watch and iPhone. They don't communicate with each other. If I log a nursing session on my watch, it doesn't show up on my phone. I also was excited about the nursing notification option. Where you can tell it to send you a notification at whatever time increments you desire (1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs) after last feeding. It never updated or synchronize based upon the last feeding. Pretty useless app..Version: 2.3.5
✓ App doesn't workApp doesn't work. Can't view nursing history from previous days.Version: 2.2
✓ TerribleI will NEVER use this app. It's insensitive and useless. We lost our little one an I attempted to make this change while we try for another baby. In every other tracking app there is a nice discreet way to show the loss. Not this app. I have deleted it and it will never be used again. Something so simple would have made this so much better....Version: 2.1
✓ StuartCouldn't see buttons to save details once height and weight had been entered and I want to back it up on Google Drive but not sure if it has this capacity..Version: 1.9.2
