Medela Family - Breast Feeding

It’s a great app for tracking and keeping your breast feeding and pumping on schedule. However, latest version of the app has many bugs and now data isn’t able to be saved.

The app does not have an option for the Swing Maxi. There are only options to connect the Freestyle Hands-free, Freestyle Flex and the Sonata. This does not make any sense as the Swing Maxi should be able to connect as it has the Bluetooth capability

The app shows a black screen for eternity when I open it. I have ro close and restart the app several times. When it finally shows the correct screen to add the amount, I click on save but nothing happens. It doesnt save. And when I click on send at the feedback screen it does nothing again.

I can’t create a new account for the App? When I enter my details (with the correct minimum requirements) and push on the “Sign Up Now” button, it just gives an error thats says : “Oops!” I deleted the app and installed it again, but keeps on giving the same error. That’s very disappointing. I was looking forward to using this high rated family app.

Useless app. Cant sign-up and no error to say whats wrong! Dont waste your time

Great app. The virtual milk storage frequently freezes or miscalculates how much milk is in storage.

Such a great tool to use as a new mom. You can track your pumping sessions to your baby’s sleep. However, the app keeps crashing. Or the time tracked suddenly goes from 5min to 55min. That being said - awesome app, dev team just needs to fix up some bugs.

This app is free but only if you have a specific pump by Medela. I’m using a rented Medela Symphony and can’t use the milk storage part of the app. What a huge disappointment.

A little bit funny - but if you enter less than one ounce for a pump session a notice comes up asking if you want to save the session without entering an amount. Medela is judging my supply. Glitchy. Requires an internet connection just for recording pump sessions. Data is not easy to utilize. I'd like to see at a glance how my supply this week compares to last week (possible, but inconvenient). And have insights into what duration and frequency works best for my output.

I used it when I first had my son in 2021 who was in Nicu and I had to track everything to a T. However I never got my pump connected, so just manually entered everything since I used a hospital pump and a hands free as well but still tracked. I still have all my info from that as well which is nice to look back on. A couple months ago my soon to be ex-husband and I separated and are now going through a heated custody battle. I have had to start the pumping game again and this time I’m only using me sonata pump but it still wasn’t available for Bluetooth despite the advertising. So I went online and the saw they still sell and advertise the Sonata as being Bluetooth compatible. I contacted customer service and an update came out or they gave me access and I now can connect which is helpful while dealing with a toddler and pumping. 10/10 would recommend Medela in general! Of course the hospital grade pump is the best but my Sonata is a close second.
