Baby Buddy has been created by the child health and wellbeing charity Best Beginnings with our development partners Despark. The app has been made possible thanks to funding from the Big Lottery Fund, the Tedworth Charitable Trust and the Guys and St Thomas’ Charity.

They only take a few minutes and once you’ve done them you’ll unlock a new outfit or accessory for your Buddy. This information will help us to make the app even better for you and future parents and their babies.

Back to 5 stars again now as you've fixed the gremlins in the system. Do apps not get tested before the updates are rolled out? Apps shouldn't break like that and many people wouldn't come back after something like that. However, I'm glad it has been sorted as I've missed it these last few days with the daily information. I've got a few days reading to catch up on now. Thanks for sorting.

Like others, I've been using this app since I found out I was pregnant and it was, up until 2 days ago, a great little app with lots of useful advice and support. But it won't load at all, and reinstalling has done nothing. Very disappointing.

Same problem as Scott! My husband and I have been using this App for 3 months and now it's stopped working completely. Please fix this

Hi, This app has been wonders but since past 2 days I and my wife both cannot seem to open it any more and just crashes with message (Unfortunately, BabyBuddy has stooped.) I think its time for Dev Team to update the app with the new support. I've read almost every recent comment from people who are having the same issue. Please fix! Thank you very much. UPDATE: I've managed to access this app while turning the Wifi & Data OFF which means something with connection to the internet is causing this issue, please investigate further. Thanks UPDATE: The issue seems to have disappeared now! thanks

I loved this app but so upset that after it started playing up you've fixed it but taken out the baby booth feature 6 months of weekly photos of my little one that I was so looking forward to putting into a video gone. Luckily I still have photos on either my phone or laptop but not ordered and lovely as they were on the app feature. Very disappointing.

I started using this app when i found out i was pregnant a few weeks ago. I loved the information that it give you, the facts, how your baby is growing and that you can sync it with your phone so you dont miss appointments. Now how ever im finding it annoying due to it not working how it should be. Every time you try and open the app the past few days it closes down because its crashed. If this problem would be sorted then the app would be fab. I miss finding out the info with my boyfriend in the mornings before we go to work. Please, please, please fix it again so we can carry on what we have been doing with it. Xxx

Loved using the app but the past few days it crashes and won't open. Please fix it Best Beginnings. If everyone submits a report when the app closes down it may help.

Why was baby booth removed. I looked forward to putting my photo in each week and watching the video made me smile. No warning or nothing which is a huge disappointment considering how good an app it is

I have been using this since I found out I was pregnant. I'm now nearly 6 months. I had changed my phone and reinstalled the app but it keeps saying user not found. I have lost everything. Thank you baby buddy. I will not be recommending and will be permanently uninstalling

by S####:

Was recommended by my midwife but not very good as it keeps freezing, it deleted all my 'remember to ask' questions, my 'buddy' is unable to read 'speech bubbles' and the list goes on... Once fixed definitely has the potential to be a good app just not there yet.

giving this a 1 star since you removed the booth feature with no warning our baby is due soon and we had been taking the pictures each week for the video very rude to remove it without giving warning

Been advised by my midwife to use this app but I am not happy. Always errors. App will log you out than you cannot log in back. If i want to see progress of my pregnancy i need to go on Google to look it up because this app is not working. Waste of space on your phone.

Edit: The app is working again now and they even emailed me personally to check if it was working for me, surprisingly good customer service! It's a lovely little app, recommended to me by a midwife. Original review: Stopped working a few days ago. It just crashes during loading. Will alter review if this is fixed before my baby is born and I stop needing it (4 weeks!)

It was going so well and loved the app. But recently I can't seem to open it. Keeps coming up as restart app and when I do it says close app. Please can you fix this? Also can we have the booth back please? Thank you

App recommended by midwife. But it's ridiculous! Baby development info VERY limited (so much happens there and you're just telling me "Arms and legs are getting longer"?), app needs all phone permissions plus detailed info on me (incl. postcode??), no place for my daily symptoms +measurements to create a diary. Best info is in videos but they stop playing halfway and have no scroll bar anyway. I feel that the emphasis is on creating a close graphic picture of self (hair, clothes, bag) as this part of app actually works...
