Lovebug

I think it’s really good! Lots of sensible info and advice, videos are easy to listen to without being patronising… I would recommend it! Did take me a couple of tries to work out exactly how I was meant to be logging things but even as a sleep-deprived technophobe I can’t say it was that complex. I would suggest it’s worth giving the free trial a go, personally I can’t see what’s not to like!

Ok it’s free to download but you go through the hassle of entering all the details just to have to subscribe. No thanks.

Super hard to use, you can’t log anything from the past (during the night) and when I finally managed to remember to log whilst breastfeeding my 7month old, while half asleep then logged back on the end his nap and everything had disappeared. Really not what you need when your 7+months into sleep deprivation…. More frustration 😂 give it a massive miss and focus your time on bubba.

Waste of time. Nothing is free. Purely an app for subscription. Deleted within 5 mins.

Ap has very little flexibility for real life. Only preset options and is only suitable for cry it out parents. Plus it doesn’t even work properly when you have to do something different, like when your baby is sick. For example if you put night sleep in where you have to go and get your baby out of bed, when you try to put the second half of the night sleep in the stupid ap thinks that they have been awake from the end of the first night sleep? there are WAY better apps out there so go elsewhere!

User friendly, economical, personalizable baby sleep coach in your pocket!? Yes, yes, and yesss… There is SO MUCH to figure out as a little person’s caregiver, lovebug takes the mystery out of baby sleep. But here’s the best part: they meet you WHERE YOU ARE emotionally, developmentally, and as a family & are totally non-judgmental. The app is made to empower parents to make the best decisions for their family at a particular point time..& of course with a Chief Mom Officer they know that SH*T happens!! So it adapts as things happen & updates to help you meet your goals…haven’t downloaded it yet? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? Oh & they totally get that sleep is impacted by so many variables which are all taken into account in the app. Ohhh and and .. the bite size learning is amazing. Thank you Jenica, Erica and the lovebug team!

This app does not log times or activities consecutively and it is not at all user friendly. You’ll be wasting your time. Find another app PLEASE!!!!!

The app is a bit complicated to use. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to add basic information like when my baby ended her night or when she woke up after being put down. Maybe a tutorial walking through the details could help.

The Lovebug app is a lifesaver for new parents! Its user-friendly sleep tracking and helpful advice improved our baby's sleep routine immensely. A must-have app!

My original review is below. I had success with the app during its earlier days but now that it has been around for a few years the developers seem to have all but abandoned it. I have requested support on two different occasions. The first is mentioned below, when the app stopped updating after my son turned 15 months. Never got a reply after their initial response. The second request for support was after the recent app update where they added dark mode. The app stopped working entirely across multiple devices. I contacted the company and got no response. I used to have a $20/month subscription but it’s canceled now and the app deleted. Developers seem to have moved on from Lovebug to focus on other endeavors. It doesn’t feel like it’s anyone’s priority anymore, as is obvious from the lack of support or social media presence. It’s really unfortunate, because it was a good product with good potential for growth. —- This app helped me figure out sleep for my first born. When I had my son I knew generally how to help him sleep and the number of hours of overall sleep to aim for based on his age, but I still struggled. This app connected all the dots, I watched every lesson, and my little one has a solid nap schedule and bedtime routine unlike a lot of other infants/toddlers I would read or hear about. The problem came at 15 months. Despite continuing to pay for the premium service ($19.99/mo), and it app supposedly being set up to continue until the child is 2, the app stopped providing guidance and stopped explaining anything. No lessons after 15 months. Also, despite my little one still requiring 2-3 hours of naptime, the app started cutting the time short without explanation. I contacted Support and I received an immediate reply acknowledging my email, which I now suspect was an automated message. No one ever followed up with me so I replied back saying I still needed help. Again, nothing. So I have reduced my subscription down to the $2.99/month and will likely just cancel altogether because I’m not getting anything from it at this point. I checked social media for Lovebug and nothing has been posted since 2022. I suspect there isn’t a lot going on in the background anymore. I would have given 5 stars if not for the lack of customer service. At least I have benefited from it for this long. I feel for people just joining who need tech support.
