Description
This application has been bought by over 500 customers and this is the first bad review. When you buy Baby Milestones you also get the companion desktop app which we feel is very good value for money (please email companion@pamero.com for your free copy). I'm lost for words as to the frustration I feel towards someone who says our App is awful without giving any reasons. How is it awful? How can we improve it? Come on work with us here!
Anyway just wanted to get that off my chest here's a recent ★★★★★ review from MaryTL, a happy customer in the UK:
"I bought this app in anticipation of using the vocabulary-tracking feature. However, my baby has yet to speak his first word, and I still use this app nearly every day. It has useful pre-determined milestones you can keep track of, and a great interface for noting down when your baby first achieved them. My favourite feature so far is the height and weight tracking section, which allows you, with the touch of a button, to pull up a customized growth chart on your iPhone (very useful when relatives are commenting on your baby's size!). The companion application is great in that you can transfer all the valuable data to your computer and have it backed up - you wouldn't want to lose this information! When I think about the notepads parents used to have to use to keep track of baby's achievements, I shudder. This application makes it clean and simple and straightforward and (most important for parents of babies QUICK and EASY. And dare I say it, FUN!"

Have you got a baby or are you expecting? Did you know you can use your iPhone or iPod to store a record of baby's progress. Baby Milestones enables you to track baby’s progress in 5 key areas:
☞Milestones: Giving you peace-of-mind that baby is learning new things at the right time, this provides typical ranges† of when most babies acquire new skills.
☞Moments: This setting allows you to record those special first time moments like when baby meets their grandparents or first comes home from the hospital.
☞Vocabulary: This setting allows you to record the day your child learns new words.
☞Height: Record how baby’s height changes. Plot their height on the built in graph against World Health Org guidelines to see how they compare.
☞Weight: Record how baby’s weight changes. Like the height function you can plot their weight against W.H.O. guidelines.
Baby Milestones offers the following:
✓Record the date your baby accomplishes new things and add comments to help you remember.
✓Photos: Add pictures to every entry.
✓Units: Use Imperial or Metric.
✓Graphs: Plot height and weight on zoom-able scrollable graphs against W. H. O. guidelines.
✓Timelines: Plot milestone, moment and vocab entries on a timeline to see when and in what order baby achieved new things.
✓Preloaded: Includes 51 built in Milestones with typical achievement ranges† and 20 Moments to get you started.
✓Free Desktop Companion App: Backup, modify and push data back to the iPhone so you never lose any of your precious memories.
You always have your iPhone or iPod with you so now you can easily track your child's achievements and always have a record of your child's progress with you too.
NOTE: The typical ranges† quoted are mainly taken from the book 'What to Expect - the first year' by Murkoff, Eisenberg & Hathaway which my wife and I have found to be a well written and very knowledgeable book that has been an invaluable tool in raising our son, however, it is in no way affiliated with this application.
†All babies develop at their own rates - typical ranges are meant to be nominally normal ranges only. This app is not a substitute for regular check-ups by a medical practitioner and any worries you may have should be directed to health professionals.

Just one wish
I have only been using the program for a few days and so far it seems okay. Just wish it had a section to track info from doctor's appointments & vaccinations. For now I am using a separate tool to keep a log of my kids shots.
Very useful and handy
I purchased the app when I got my phone more or less in March. It's definately been great being able to input weight and length at drs visits, and a lot more. I can quickly document the moment before the specifics are gone from my mind. There are a few things I'd love to see in future updates. Most specifically it would be great to be able to delete the default milestones. I got the app when my son was 8 months, so he passed many of them before I could record them. It would be nice not to have to scroll through them everytime. And another minor (very minor) I think the icon sells the app short. I'd rather not have a purple Teddy bear on the main screen of my phone, but that's where I like to keep it so it's quickly available. I need the computer app for downloading from the phone. I've only heard it exists.
I would definately recommend this app.
Worth the money
I purchased this app because of the companion desktop app that comes FREE via email from the developer. If I had a question or problem, I emailed him and had an answer in less than an hour. Great service! So far this app is working well for me, just as I would expect a paid app would. This app allows you to record everything that you would need to record about your little one, except vaccinations. (Hopefully that will come through in the update.) I've found that it's a bit easier when dealing with milestones to enter data in the desktop and then sync it to the iPhone but that's just me. Having that option to enter data 2 ways is great! I would give the review 5 stars if it had a vacc area but otherwise, I'm happy I made the purchase.
