uGrow baby development tracker for Android
Really love this app, it is a great way to record your babys sleep and feeding habits and more!!!! I love the 'pattern' display which allows you to compare day by day allowing you to determine where patterns are starting to occur, exactly what i wanted. It would be great to see some improvements but overall best app i have come across for this purpose. Improvements i think which would make this app amazing include - would like to be able to scroll the week layout just a few days, currently scrolling just scrolls by an entire week - this limits your ability to compare days (when you reach the start of the week, you cannot easily compare with the last few days of the week prior). - ability to zoom the WHO weight chart, currently too small to really see what percentile your child lies. Although the colour gradient of the chart helps a little. - easy way to log the end of a nap. Currently i log the start, then i have to edit when child wakes which is 7 user presses (account - my data - sleep - log - last log - edit - end time) then it is 5 user presses to return to normal screen (close - back arrow - back arrow - back arrow - exit account)....could go on but run out of space.....
I loved this app up until this morning when it has stopped updated the data between my wife's phone and mine. It always did and no suddenly it gas stopped otherwise it would be 5 stars. Any help please?
Have been using this app for months, it's really good but since the last update it does not save amendments to my data. So I add the start of his sleep and change the time when he wakes up, but it doesn't save the amendment. Which is really frustrating! Would also like the graph to show exact total of milk ml each day rather than a bar.
Been using this app since I came out of hospital. Before the update when i clicked on the plus icon it used to show me the three icons i used the most (nappy bottle sleep). Now since the update no matter how many bottles i log it still shows breastfeeding as one of the top three options. I wasn't able to breastfeed this time round and now i am reminded of this everytime i log a feed!!...thanks...please fix this or I'll be search of a app that doesn't rub it in my face of what a failure i am.
I really love this app. It's the first one I use and so far I am very pleased with it. I find it very helpful that it reminds me which was the last breast I fed my baby from, and I like the little comments that appear once in a while.
I love this app! It's great for tracking milk production and feeding times :)
It's very useful in the early days when you're sleep deprived
Can't track both twins :(
It's perfect. Thank you ♡
Setting up the app is very easy. Enter some details about your child and click save. The instructions provided are easy to understand. Place the thermometer in the ear of your child. Press and hold the power button. It then clicks and temperature is taken. You then transfer the data to the app on you phone and the information is kept. The good thing about this app is if you check your child's temperature on a daily basis you will notice a change when it suddenly increases. Well done Philips & Google. My only negative is why do you need a photograph?
So im using the thermometer for my 2 year old. The app only asks about his birth date and birth weight so the home screen keeps telling me son is 4kg. Which obviously isnt correct. However with regards to using it with the thermometer i find it really handy that it keeps a log of the temperatures so i can establish if theres a pattern or if anything could have triggered behaviours/temperatures
The application is fantastic when combined with the Philips thermometer, connectivity isn't an issue and the ability to chart temperatures over a period of time allow parents to see if there has been a significant change, especially with a poorly child. You can chart the growth of the child also, which is also a positive. Whilst the thermometer can be used without the app, the app does add more for the benefit of parents and if needs be a medical professional. I found it to be quite accurate, and the only issue I have found is some may feel restricted if the don't have a child. The only change would be if you could add other family members and chart their temperature separately, maybe expectant mothers, or those trying to conceive could benefit also. However, other than this I found the product to be simple to use and fit for the purpose intended and have already recommended the app and product to several friends and colleagues. Very happy indeed.
I liked the app before... The update did improve some things like sum the total feeds a day but also gave us a lot of bugs. I have a glitch where I have today and yesterday as "today" and "the day before yesterday" is "yesterday". And info tabs about feeding is always about breastfeeding while I only bottle feed. edit: I see no need to see day logs of days of in the future, I can keep scrolling forward through the dates while no data has been inputted
Great app for new parents, would like the ability to log on with 1 email address but share inputs with another. (Mum or Dad creates the account & shares with the partner). Currently to get around this problem I have to log on with my account on 2 phones.
I just purchased your thermometer, and I'm a surprised that I have to create a fictional child in order to use the app. I purchased this because I wanted a quality thermometer for myself and my spouse. It's frustrating that there isn't a way around this. I realize this is marketed for babies, but it's for everyone
Used to love this app but since the update all my data has been lost! It's also slow to load, doesn't save data inputs easily any more and always asks me to log back in. Moving to another, more reliable app! Update: moved to 4 stars after the app was updated and all my data was restored. Thank you! The app is now working perfectly well, much faster, but could do with a few UI changes to make some of the features slightly easier (sleep timer should be first not the manual page, bottle volumes should be a filter as currently it's hard to select amount easily).
Handy to keep track of babies habits/weight/etc for first time parents. New update is brutal tho, all info is absent upon opening & takes a really long time to load so you can't quickly check when the last feed or diaper was which is super frustrating. Hopefully they can fix that asap! As if May 11 still having the slow loading issue & it's making me think about finding a different app to teach info. When my baby is hungry the fact that I can't open it & immediately see which side I'm supposed to feed from is not helpful. Please fix this & don't give me your canned response I've seen to multiple other reviews.
I'm not sure what is going on with the app whether someone is working on it to get all the bugs out or not but it's been ridiculous lately. Data charted shows up twice, doesn't refresh and if it does it takes FOREVER to do so. Now I can't even go back to previous day to see individual sleep periods etc. I'm ready to find a new app.
I got the thermometer a few weeks ago now the thermometer is outstanding however i find the the app for me is a little confusing it took me a while to find the thermometer tracking however i could easily learn my way around and the idea to track weight feeding and temperatures is an amazing idea definitely for new mums and dads.
So far I really like it. I like to be able to see the patterns of my newborn and keep track of how much he is eating and sleeping. It allows me to see what time of the day He's napping more. Overall it works well. I don't use the thermometer part yet.
This app is everything's iv been looking for . Only thing is my baby's started on solids food so now when I enter a feed it's all messed up . But grate app
I found the philips ugrow app and the philips smart ear thermometer compliment eachother very well. I found tracking the temperature of my son to be very accurate, I would recommend both the ugrow app and smart ear thermometer to anyone. I was overall very impressed :))) 10/10 A+
Great app. Good for logging feeds and nappies. Would be 5 star if there was a section to add pics at say 0 months 2 months 4 months etc. Like a memory book but great app
I have twins and don't seem to be able to track both children.
're updated app and now it's working fine again. Doesn't take ages to load. Good for tracking sleep and feeding ect
Noticed that when the app is running simultaneously on two phones and one bottle feed entry is put in, the app registers two feeds as opposed to one.
I like how you can track feeding and sleep thoroughly . However, tracking food as the baby starts weaning would increase this to 4 starts.
Great app very handy to use would be great to see an adult section so the whole family can use it too apart from that I love it
Very easy and quick to record down info. Really interesting to see totals of sleep and milk intake and compare daily
Brilliant but just wish there was an option to add a second child as I have twins!
I think the expressing section to keep track of your expression sessions is good.
Too many glitches
Very easy to use packed with a lot of features. Great work!
Good app !!!
Worst app. If I could rate zero stars I would. My baby's saved info was just wiped clean. I am a busy mom of two, this app "helped" keep track of my baby. Don't waste your time.
since the update everytime i open it now my data has been lost and it takes a few mins to update. i use this all the time so can this please be fixed
I've been using the app for almost 5 months and I would give it a 5 but since with the last update I lost all my data I couldn't be more disappointed!
So it's not just me that has lost all my info... I'm so disappointed!!
I've been using this for 6 months but now every time I open it takes ages to load all the data. It was fine before the update, but now it is painfully slow.

So far I really like it. Only wish you could set alarms for things like feeding and expressing. I have to use a second app for that. Also, is this app backing up my data? I don't see that option. I'm worried I'll lose all my tracking if something happens to my phone? Update- Thanks for responding. I tried to add to my husband's phone but when I tried to retrieve my password, it told me I couldnt because I had a social account. Does that mean my data isn't being backed up and how can I convert to a real account to add to my husband's phone? Tia.
