CDC's Milestone Tracker

New update reset the checklists and now the checklists don’t work? Sends an error and when you retry it sends it back to the homepage!

I like to check which milestones are upcoming for my baby but when I complete the ‘next’ checklist and select some as “not yet” then the app notifies me multiple times that I need to have my child evaluated. The app could be greatly improved by letting people see the upcoming milestones and not sending unnecessary notifications when the child hasn’t actually reached the next milestone age yet despite the checklist completed in advance.

I think it’s great that the app helps people understand milestones however, as someone who preforms Ages and Stages assessments is important to know that an assessment like this should be done with a professional so it’s not interpreted incorrectly and making the caregiver more worried than they need to be or filling it out incorrectly When there are concerns. For example, I just completed this and there is a question in the 1 year old that says “does your baby’s say mom, dad and ugh oh” if your child doesn’t say ugh oh (maybe because you don’t say it/cultural differences) and you click NO then this assessment may indicate a speak concern. Maybe your child says other words or sounds instead but this doesn’t give you the option to indicate that. When we perform these assessments, it is Yes No or sometimes and we ask for clarification/ask to expand. If you have concerns speak to your doctor don’t self assess with an app

I like how I can keep track but I don’t like the layout

Excelente aplicación para ayudar a los padres a estar pendientes del desarrollo de nuestros pequeños y estar atentos para poder actuar rápido. ¡Muy satisfecha!

When I was a Pre-K teacher I used the CDC website to help with age appropriate activities for lesson planning. Know I use it with my 4month old twins. It’s been very help since I’m a busy in office working mom, I’m able to keep track of their milestones and jot down any questions I may have for their pediatrician for upcoming check-ups.

I find this App useful to track my grandson’s milestones.

Unlike many other apps this one has reasonable privacy permissions. The app does a good job performing its stated function. In order for the CDC to hit a 5 star milestone benchmark, please add support for a modern (metric) measurement system!

I clicked on helpful links and none showed up. Could there be information that is helpful where I’m not trying to access another site? For example “Help me grow “. I couldn’t access the website. Same with all the other links

This app is great- don’t get me wrong- but there’s so many great things and yet you can’t even put ounces when entering your child’s weight or partial inches for length when tracking it for well child visits. Seems silly that there’s so many things in the app that are more complex to design for an app but we can’t enter this basic info. Also, when entering how early the child was born, it would be helpful to be able to select the gestational week instead of “how early.” For example, full term is 37 weeks and my daughter was born at 36. I selected 1 week early because technically that’s true but now I’m wondering if the app is going off of a strictly 40 week gestation (when again, 37 weeks is full term) so are things off since I’m selecting 1 week early (accurate) instead of 4 weeks like the app is likely using (inaccurate)? Otherwise, no complaints about the app and will change it to a 5/5 once that’s an option.
