Babyname for Android
The features are like tinder, you have to pay to undo, get recommendations, etc... I'm not trying to hook up with some chick, I'm trying to figure out what to name a kid; a full feature set is needed up front. Charge $2 up front and be done with it. As it is it is a crippled useless mess unless you buy features that should be included in the core product.
Every time I close an ad it closes the entire app and I have to restart it as well as reconnect. The ads are inappropriate. The app is centered more around making money than providing a decent user experience (upgrading to access an "undo" feature? Seriously?) Don't bother with this one.
I think it would be better if you could just pay once for everything. They end up charging more by doing it piecemeal. Also, I think that various spellings of the same name should be one card, they make it seem like there are more names but in reality many are spelling variations of the same name. It's okay and gets you thinking about different names.
Stupid app. You need to pay for any kind of filtering when you can just access different nationality lists etc online for free... not very well thought out. And swiping through aimlessly without any filters is pointless.
The icon is boring. The app tries to up charge you for everything. I paid to get rid of ads, then it asked me to buy a bigger name bank. Then it asked me to buy undo swipe... There should just be a free version and a paid version. Don't nickel and dime me.
Most of the names are extremely different and not ones I would choose. Unable to deselect names I didn't mean to choose or go back one name. Adds are very frequent. You have to pay for the most simple features. Idea is great, execution could have been way better.
The app no longer saves my likes, I reinstalled it and it still doesn't work. Also I wish they would group together all of the same names with different spellings.
My wife purchased the upgrade and I was charged $93.57. What kind if scam you guys running. Reporting to BBB, Google, my Credit Card. Unbelievable
There were a LOT of repeated (spelled differently) names, couldn't go back unless you pay for the feature, and can't edit your lost if you accidently like something by mistake... overall it was fun to use, but wish it was a little more functional.
Awful functionality. No matter how many times you swipe no, every name gets added to the yes list. Doesn't work at all. Would like to give less than 1*
Pretty much useless! My fiancée is on an iPhone and I'm on Sony and mine app repeatedly stops showing me names. Like absolute zero. It kinda defeats the purpose of using this app if we both can not use it
It's a great simple concept. Fun to use. Lots of names listed including unusual names which i haven't heard of before. Has some limitations. Some common names are not on there e.g. Kathy, Antoinette. Cannot add a name if you want. Cannot search for a name if you want.
Keeps asking me to reconnect with my husband and every time I hit yes it starts over and we lose all our matches. Also every time you x out of an add it closes the app and restarts it. Frustrating. But I liked the variety of names. I also wish there was a way to see all the ones I liked.
Great and useful app. Would be 5 if the prompts to share and rate the app weren't so over-the-top obnoxious. I even paid to remove ads and get these about 1 in every 10 swipes. Really, really irritating.
Doesn't work. My wife and I went through so many names and had only one match but when we compared our list of liked names their were many we both liked that didn't show up on the match list
Good idea, poorly executed. Not a variety of names...I'm about to have a baby so I won't be spending money for silly things like unlocking more names (which I can do for free with a Google search) or undoing a swipe... But my hubby and I enjoy seeing which names each of us like. Don't take app to seriously.
Keeps giving same names and not a great selection of names...either really common names or really really weird ones. Could be so much better!
Haven't had any issues with it. My wife bought the extra names and now we both have them. I think this is a fantastic app for someone like me!
Its an awesome concept, but the execution is poor, I get an ad an can't dismiss it, had to restart the app. And it's generally a bit cloying with how much it tries to make money off me.
I have no H names and just get the same names repeated again and again with different spellings. I swipe left to a name and five minutes later it is appearing again. I have paid for a bank of 'thousands' of names but they have not materialised.
Pretty stupid. Names repeated every 10 minutes. A list of names would be better at this point.
It's nice to be able to look at names independent of your partner, and be notified when you have a match. It would be better if the app stopped showing you a name after you swipe left on all the spellings. I've seen the same names 5+ times. I want to see new names.
Great idea but poorly executed. It needs a lot more names - clearly aimed at the north American market.
Its a great idea but some of the names are ridiculous! You should be able to pick "origins" of names as we don't live in Scandinavia were unlikely to use a Scandinavian name so having to scroll through them is a time waste!
Doesn't actually tell you if you match. This only worked twice for my husband and I. After that, even though we had more matching names, they never showed up in the matched list. We ended up going through our separate lists to find the ones that matched.
It was fine until the full screen ads took over in a latest update. Get less intrusive ways to make money and I'll bring the rating back up, it's almost unusable as is.
A lot of ads. If you buy filters you can only use one at a time. Seems kinda silly to me. Cool concept, poor execution.
Like the app, some names are a bit off the wall to me but I'm sure someone likes them. Hopefully it helps pick a name for baby boy.
Annoying adds and wants you to rate all the time. Good concept tho
Too much advertisement and you can't go back to a name if you accidentally swiped 'no'. Also, many weird names.
It's cute. I have issues where I try to swipe one way and the little card bounces back and goes the wrong way, but otherwise it's a cute app
Average. Keeps repeating the same names which is frustrating. Useful to match names with my partner.
Great concept. Needs an undo (can sometimes flick wrong way). Are "good" names locked for the paid version?
Great concept, however only lets you connect with one partner. As a polygamist this app does not suit my needs
It doesn't work half the time. Have to keep relinking. When does work, it's incredibly slow. I like the idea. Just wish it worked
I would like to be able to search names too or see a list of alternate spellings. It's too bad the filters cost extra too. Overall, it's a fun concept.
I think that previous posts have summed it up. Group spellings on one card. Stop showing ridiculous names. Stop trying to charge me for every little thing. I haven't paid for it, I don't mind the ads, but it's $4 to download more names and does that mean your partner has to pay $4 as well? That's pretty ridiculous. I would do it if it would load then for both of us. It's a neat concept but I feel like it's a lot of wasted time going through the same names over and over.
Great idea very poorly executed. Mainly bizarre names and purchasing the filters didn't help. Need a common names filter or some AI to spot trends in what I like.
The idea of a swipe baby name app is fantastic. However the app often freezes and the selection of names is very obscure.

Elkf? Greet? Beatriz? How are these baby girl names?! I love the concept and I can understand paying for certain features and/or to remove ads. However, need at least some kind of filter to get rid of the ridiculous or shall I say "unique" names and you MUST group all of the various spellings for same name. It's super annoying to see same names over and over but with different spellings!
