Description
Whether you are a parent caring for your own child or a pediatrician, this growth charts app is for you! It allows you to track childrens' growth over time and display the data points on any of the included WHO and CDC growth charts. You can track height, weight, head circumference and BMI and determine the corresponding percentiles.
There is also a percentile calculator for quick percentile lookup in case you just want to know the percentile of today's measurements.
# Data Storage
You can add as many children and measurements to the built-in database as you like. The data is encrypted – if you have a passcode on your device – meaning it is secure should you lose the device.
# Sharing
The measurements are directly added to the growth chart PDFs. You can email these PDFs, print them out (if you have an AirPrint enabled printer nearby) or share them with other means provided by iOS, such as storing into your Dropbox or box.com. You can do the same with a spreadsheet file containing all this kids on your device, or one file per kid. Finally, there is an export option so you can transfer all your data to a different device of yours or a colleague.
# Units
Whether you're used to the metric system and have all data available in centimeter and kilogram or whether you're in the US and using imperial units, Charts has got you covered. You can switch the units you want to use right from the keyboard and these units will be saved as your preferred units. You can also change units from a dedicated list when viewing your child's measurements.

Ratings and Reviews
Not helpful for TALL kids
I loved the app when my kids were babies to see their growth and know if they were on the charts for weight. However my husband and I are tall (he’s 6’9, I’m 6’0) and our kids have been >99% since they were 1yo. This was funny at first cause you know we’re tall but now that they’re 7yo and 8yo and finicky eaters I am watching them a little closer and to have their height and weight not correlating is annoying. They’re totally off the charts for bmi height and weight. I mean like the dots are in the title on some of the charts. So there should be some consideration given for kids who are taller than the average.
A great free app for EASY charting
I started the tradition of marking my kids' height with my first daughter, but the thought occurred to me if we ever have a fire all the marks on the wall in our house would go up in flame and I'd have no backup. I tried other apps, but they were nothing like what I wanted. I love that I can use photos of my kids for each profile, and that I can send backup data easily to my email and many other apps. This app is easy to use I was able to put as many measurements for each of my three children as I wanted and see their percentiles and track their growth all the way up to my 17-year-old daughter. I highly recommend this app.
Awesome!
I love this app. It helps me keep track of my daughter's growth easily. The only thing that would make it better is if you added some Cerebal Palsy growth charts so I could keep even better track of my special needs daughter.
