It's a no-brainer that a parenting activity tracking app should allow more than one person to track feedings and diaper changes and the like. And yet, I found myself waking up night after night, fumbling around trying to grab my wife's phone to add our daughter's latest bottle and change, or check when she last ate. Until Ovia. This is the only service that I have found that lets both of us track her activity independently on our own devices and syncs them up between us. Dead simple. I love it.

I used ovia to track my fertility trends then ovia pregnancy and absolutely loved both of them. this one is a bit disappointing. first of all there is so much more to my infant than just "eat, sleep, poop". we need options for gas, emotions, spit up, shots, etc. And if this is supposed to be the postpartum app, can I get options for myself too? keep track of post partum symptoms (bleeding, bloating, depression, sleep, etc). there's a lot this app is missing. plus sometimes it doesn't save my inp

I loved this app with my 1st daughter 2.5 years ago. It worked so well. With my 2nd daughter (5 weeks old) I can't use it for tracking anything but milestones. The app still has a glitch for tracking anything but diaper changes. I wish this could be fixed because it is a great app and I had to go find a different one that isn't as great to track feedings, pumping and diaper changes.

I really like the app, but I ended up changing to a different app for 2 reasons. 1- you cannot edit what you've recorded. It needs to be deleted and remade. I record at the start of the feeding to get the right time but if my baby doesn't finish what I recorded, I cant edit it. Second, I wish I could condense things into a chart or stat sheet. I want to know how many oz my baby eats daily or the average for the week. I have to do that math myself. I've found a different app that does that.

I want to give 5 stars but there's one feature that is holding me back. I thought there was a feature that allowed you to filter by data you had input. I know it's included in the Ovia Pregnancy app but it's not in the Parenting app. I wish I could filter for photos, weight, etc. Right now, there's no way for me to see what the last recorded weight was or when I saved it. I just have to go back through the days around when I think I saved the info and scroll day by day. 5 stars if I can filter.

The app would be amazing. However there are WAY to many glitches. The list of things that do not work are as follows; When Logging bottle feeds it does not show how many hours between feed. The same is with a breast feeding tracker It does not always save the information you have inputed. When you accidentally click a milestone on the wrong day when you click edit to change the app shuts down. It's almost more stressful using this app because it is more work because things get deleted.

Very disappointed with this app. It's just useless. I've been using it for breastfeeding tracking. It always changes time to 6 hours ahead. For example, I breastfed at 12pm, it tracks time correctly but when it saves data it saves it as 6pm. when I tracked at night it saved it to the next day! I had to go and manually correct the time. So i have to remember what time exactly we started it defeats the whole purpose. Lastly it just deleted my last 3 feedings in the day, So I'm deleting the app

I will focus on what I don't. I don't like how there are times when you're using the breastfeeding counter and it doesn't save the time, instead you get an error message. So when that happens, you have to manually enter the time but you can't input seconds. I don't like how you can't enter Dr appts, weight, etc., like you can in their pregnancy app. They go by when you start feeding instead of when the baby finished to let you know how much time has passed since the last feeding.

This app is great and all, i love the simplicity of it. However, when the app only works properly for 3 days, it sucks. It randomly clears all the data out. At first i thought maybe I was forgetting to enter things at night, but nope. The app itself of clearing everything. It is glitchy as hell and we will no longer be using this apl to track our info.

Useful app for tracking baby feedings, sleep and such, but there's no place to add notes abt anything like texture of poopies, spit up or other things you want to track that might be useful to talk to doc about. Also, you have to click the check mark for it to save data entry, so if your phone goes to sleep or you take too long to enter info (everyday life w/ an infant) it will lose your data. I've spent so much time trying to remember data I thought I added but didn't stay put.

Lot of improvements required. If you entered something incorrectly, you cannot edit it. For example, default is breast milk. If you want to change to formula, there is no way to do it. If you accidentally entered the mode to enter feeding time, there is no way you can go back without entering a dummy value, saving it and then deleting it.

Wonderful app! It's exactly what it says it is. With relevant articles, personalized messages and milestone checklist, it's a one-stop for baby apps. I especially love that I can add multiple children, so it gives me articles for my 3 yr old as well as my infant. Plus, there's a section just for moms, to remind us to keep up with self-care.

My experience has been that tracking feeding with the timer is very effective, but using the manual log is hit or miss. Sometimes it retains my logs, sometimes it erases them. Where it really falls short is in the sleep category. It constantly erases log entries I make for sleep times. Honestly, a timer like the feeding one would be better than immediately having to log start and stop times. It would be super helpful to track how long my little is sleeping, but it's always erasing entries.

Been using the app for a few months to track my feed times and side. Most recent update has messed this up. Yesterday evening it wouldn't even log the feed after I hit save and not it's logging the wrong time completely. Should have been 6:30am but logged the time as 1:40pm??? I really liked the usefulness of this app, but if I can't log my feeds... It's not much use to me... Update: I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if this helped. I can log my feeds but the time is still off

I love this app, it has been very useful to track feedings and diapers. However, it would be great if I could track doctor appointments and medications, and put in notes like in the other Ovia apps. My baby has frequent appointments. Also in the special conditions list, I feel like it could be expanded to include various birth defects as well. My baby has a special condition not listed. Otherwise, the app is amazing!

I love that it totals your feeding amounts so that you don't have to do the mouth and that you don't have to stick with whole numbers so you are able to be more accurate with how much they took from the bottle. I agree with several other reviewers however that there are several features that I wish y'all would add such as a tummy time tracker and solid food tracker. I currently have to have a different app to track tummy time and wish it could all just be in one.

The app is pretty great and full of good information. I'm very happy about the customization and the fact that Ovia parenting connects to their other app; Ovia pregnancy. The reason I only give 4 stars is because when they send me the daily email with new articles, I will click to read more, and then that article isn't in the app. I may have to wait a few days, or it may never show up. That little issue really bothers me, because most articles are very good and I want to read it all.

This is a great app, however 2 big things keep it from being 5 stars. First of all, a medicine tracker. I would like to able to keep track of when I need to give my little man Tylenol for his teething and when he had an ear infection, the ability to mark when I gave him his amoxicillin would have been great! Also, the ability to share the kids' info with my husband would be a lifesaver. That way, if I'm napping, he can check the app to see when the baby last ate, was changed, etc.

I do like this app for tracking nursing and diapers. The articles, home feed, and community posts like the other Ovia apps are also nice. However, the calendar page is not like the Fertility and Pregnancy apps. Instead of being able to log into for whatever day you're viewing, you can only see what has already been recorded. You can only add by using the + button. Also, the amount of data that can be recorded is lacking. We should be able to log notes, temperatures, and medications too.

This is app is super helpful, especially in regards to nursing/feedings (and even more so when it's baby #2 and there's a lot more to juggle and remember!). I would love if there were additional features though, even a spot to add notes or something. For instance, checking off whether I gave him his vitamin D, or any other meds, or fever tracker, etc. Another idea that would be helpful is tracking solid foods: what food was eaten, portion sizes, frequency, and baby's responses. But overall happy
