Baby Timer App Reviews

This app is great and very easy to use. I love all the stats it keeps. Only stat I wish it had was ounces but per day. It tells you daily but it isnt a weekly or monthly stat you can pull up. Great app overall!

My wife and I had been using an Itzbeen to track our first baby for the first 8 weeks. Being able to quickly monitor the time since the last diaper/feeding/nap has been really valuable, but the problem with the Itzbeen is that its (a) unforgiving if you forget to hit the button, and (b) unable to tell you what happened yesterday -- or even what happened during the period before the time its tracking at a given moment. Enter Baby Timer. We recently took our son on his first out-of-state trip. (He was an angel on the flight, BTW. Lucky us!) However, we forgot to pack the Itzbeen and wanted some way to keep track of his activities. I grabbed Baby Timer during a late-night feeding session and am really pleased with this application. The two critical features overcome the weaknesses of the Itzbeen. First, it doesnt matter if we dont start the timer at the moment his state changes because although Baby Timer defaults to starting the timer now, it allows me to adjust that time and capture the fact that I should have started the timer 20 minutes ago. Second, Baby Timer keeps a complete (and completely editable) record of events. My only issue has been the tracking of naps. I like that the app captures changes of state via "Start nap" and "End nap" buttons, but the history listing of naps -- which shows the time the last nap started and its duration -- is a little difficult to read. Id actually prefer if wakeful states were included in the list so I could more easily see the time the little bugger last woke up. Also, an app this good deserves a better icon. A minor gripe, but this app made it onto the first page of my iPhone and so Im looking at the icon a lot... Bottom line: For me, this application is just what I needed. Maximally informative. Cleanly designed, simple interface that does exactly what it needs to do. Easy to use in the middle of the night. QUICK UPDATE: Theres a bug that frustrates me... If I start a feeding session by specifying a bottle with 3.5 ounces and say "Time It", when I later end the session and specify the end-time, the decimal place of the bottle amount is truncated. Even if you dont time the session -- if you create an entry with a decimal in the amount field, and then go back and make any edits to the entry other than the amount, then the decimal place value is lost when you re-save the entry. Tried to visit the developer site to send a bug notice, but the site seems to be missing. ANOTHER UPDATE: Less than half a day after posting the previous update, the developer contacted me to say that hes working on a bug fix. Awesome responsiveness. Awesome app. Six stars.

Extremely easy to use. Must-have for figuring out why baby is crying, or when visiting the doctor and asked how frequently baby feeds/poops etc. The developermis super-nice and very responsive, too!

I was previously using another app and struggling along with it since I didnt know this one existed. This app has absolutely everything you could possibly want and need for tracking stats on your baby: diapers, feedings, pumpings, naps, and a stat analyzer. You can tell this was created by a parent! Perfect.

This app is simple and straightforward and allows me to very easily keep track of feelings and diaper changes. With everything else that you have going on with a newborn in the house, who has the time or mental energy to keep track of a notepad? This app is fantastic -- I can use it one handed, which is a huge bonus for a breastfeeding mom!

I like this app a lot because it lets me keep track of everything, diapers, naps, eating, all in one place. I used separate apps previously for nursing and diapers and was looking for something for naps when I found this one, I wish I had found this first. The only negative I can mention is that it does not track which side baby fed from last when you use the both button for feedings. If that was resolved I would rate it five stars.

I have been tracking all of this in the "notes" section on my iPad. Cant believe it took me two weeks to buy this app. It does feedings, diapers, and sleep... But so much more! Drs apts, spit ups, height/weight, milestones, the list goes on. So far I love it!

I make use of this app daily and so does my husband. We love it. My only complaint is that there should be a way to sync between devices. If my husband, daycare provider and myself could all keep track of babys info and see what each other had recorded, that would be ideal. Perhaps this is planned for a future version? I hope?

I have been using this app for several months now and I love it. It allows me to keep track of nursing times, diaper changes, naps, medicine and general stats! I use it for both kids (ages 5 and 1). It has the versatility to allow me to track as much or as little as I need for each child. I love the statistics for feedings, diaper changes etc. it helps me forecast how many diapers I may need next month based on what we used last month. Here are 2 suggestions: 1. For nursing moms we like to know which breast we started with at the last nursing session. 2. Add the ability to share data between two or more devices. Great job on this app. I am so happy to have found it when I did. It has been a life-saver!

This app is fantastic for my type A personality!! I love keeping track of his feedings, diapers, and naps!! My only suggestion/ request would be a place I could keep track of his temperature - maybe in the journal tab?? But seriously, this app is so helpful. Love being able to look at how many hours per day he is sleeping and getting the number of diapers per day for the pediatrician. Thanks so much!!

Love how easy it is to use and love the quick stats views. I use this app all day long to track feedings and pumps and it has been a lifesaver for my brain-dead, sleep-deprived mind! Awesome job.

I love this app! I use it all the time! With my first child, I used an itzBeen and loved it, and this has all the same features, but now I have a complete record of everything since the day I brought my second child home. The only thing I miss is the timer feature: I could set the sleep and feeding timers for three hours or whatever, it would beep at the appropriate time, and automatically reset when I would push the button and start the nap or feeding. Right now I have 8 alarms programmed into my phones clock app, but if I feed my son early or late, I have to manually reset the alarm for a different time if I want to keep his feedings a consistent amount of time apart, and then set them back to the original time when hes back on schedule, whereas the itzBeen did it for me at the push of a button. Is it possible to add this? Then the App would be perfect!!!

Sooo easy to use. Has been a lifesaver for beginning nursing when my head was in a cloud. Now great for trying to schedule nap times to look back and see patterns in sleep and hours awake. Love it!!

This app has been a lifesaver for me! You can track everything you need and more. Definitely worth the purchase, I would highly recommend for any new parents!

I have been using this app since bringing my my baby home and it has been wonderful for tracking diaper changes, feedings and pumping sessions. Now I am working on a baby routine and cannot quite use the app anymore. I think with a modification you could market this to additional users. Baby whisperer recommends an eat, active and sleep routine. If you can provide a daily log that shows eat start time, active start time and sleep start time/duration, users would be able to track their routine and see what works and what doesnt.

This app has been wonderful. When we talk to the doctor, it will make it easy to show the progress. Especially useful in the hospital when the nurses are asking how much the baby ate.

Great app, has been extremely helpful. Is it possible to sync the data from the iPhone app to the iPad app to make it easier for family members to continue with the inputting system?

I love this app for taking care of my newborn! So easy to use- tap a couple of buttons to jot down diaper changes and breast feeding times. The logs and charts are handy for doctor visits. I returned our unopened ItzBeen. We would love to see the ability to sync with another device, so that my husband can notate the diaper changes on his own. Thanks for a functional app at a reasonable price!!

I used this app all of the time!! I used it mostly for breast feeding tracker. But also kept track of each weight check and dr visits with measurements. Once I was done I kept the info by downloading info to word document and now I have the info forever. Thank you for such a a wonderful App!!!

I dont know how I would have survived the first few weeks of motherhood without the convenience of this app. I can log everything from doctor visits to feedings, diaper changes to pumpings. It helped me keep track of my babys behavioral patterns, and theres even a statistics portion that tells you the average number of naps, feedings, and diapers used. I never spend money on apps, but this was worth every penny!
