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.
# Included Charts
The app currently includes 40 official growth charts from these institutions:
• World Health Organization (WHO)

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.
Not working
The app not working properly after entering the parameters its will not proceed to next step
And plotting in the chart
And after multiple attempts the app will crash
Great app!
Have used this app for years for my daughter who has growth issues. Haven’t had any issues with it. I’ve even changed phones and as long as my phone was backed up (backed up to the cloud last time) I could re-download the backup with all the info saved.
Perfect for car seat techs
If you regularly work with parents and have to predict when a child may outgrow a certain (class of) car seat, you NEED this app. Period.
It is ok
I have been using it for years and went to go input my new sons info to compare against his 2 older sisters and noticed my app was gone. While I took my son to his peds appt yesterday my parents let my toddler use my iPad and she deleted the app. Reinstall it to find all data lost and the only way to back it up is via email. Now if only I knew she would get the iPad and that I needed to make sure I backed it up recently, if ever...should be standard to back it up or have it on a set schedule. I have my oldest daughters stats down as I found the app after her but have lost my toddlers 2 years worth of info.
Poor app for medical use
Does not calculate z-scores; requires you to calculate age and therefore subject to rounding errors and prohibits accurate growth velocity calculations.
App doesn’t seem to be working properly
I’m having some trouble with the app. When using the calculator button to enter age and anthropometrics, the save button isn’t working. I wonder if the developer has stopped supporting it since there hasn’t been an update in a while.
Best growth chart app and It’s Free
I tried other apps for charting my kid’s growth but they were glitchy or started asking for money. This app is great. It’s free and it does exactly what it needs to. Just input the birthday of the child then you input height, weight or head circ at different days and it charts them out for you on the CDC growth charts. It’s as simple to use as you can ever want. Highly recommended.
Won't save the data!!!
