My First Five Years

My baby is now 8 months old and I’m generally a bit more at ease with motherhood than I was 7 months ago, especially since I have discovered this app! I was constantly worrying about what should my baby be learning for the stage he was, what skills should he be learning and what and how I could better help him along the way and this app came up with all that, fitting like a glove of absolutely no pressure since is not monthly//weekly-orientated, but somehow makes all the sense in developing their skills from one to another in the ever growing process of them learning. The ONLY thing it kept me from giving 5 stars is that for a few times the app just seems to not load AT ALL, it doesn’t matter how many times I restart or even having the app fully updated. I think now it has been almost month since last time I was able to open it to log my baby’s development.

The app had always been very slow to load, now it doesn’t load at all, just gets stuck on the loading page forever with the spinning wheel.

Used to love this app but following the latest update it now just gets stuck loading on the start up screen!

As per above, loading time is terrible. Initial screen loading may take a few minutes to load, checked cards are saved in tens of seconds, etc. But the app itself is great!

i love this app and how there's no age your baby should reach a goal so there's no pressure but i noticed i was always logged out when opening the app and now the app crashes as soon as i try and open it i would definitely rate the app 5 stars if it worked!

No point in downloading.. you have to have a yearly subscription before they let you even get to there homepage.. There’s no way you can just click a little x and enjoy a few bits the app has to offer for non subscribers.. atleast let parents who doesn’t want to or just can’t afford to pay £33 yearly be able to enjoy a little bit of the app and have a premium option so if they want more benefits they can just subscribe like ALOT of other apps do.. i feel like it’s to just get money of desperate mothers.. just download WHAT TO EXPECT.. it’s free you get all the milestone on it even milestones for pregnancies and you don’t have to pay a subscription to even see your baby’s milestones.. spend the £33 on your baby and not this app.

Pretty misleading and disappointing to find any app that is subscription only - especially one that is potentially so useful to families (I say potentially, because there isn’t even free content for me to form an opinion around). I don’t see the subscription model described in the description either.

I am a first time mum and I was worrying myself that I’m not supporting my child enough or he isn’t where he is “expected to be” in his age range, so when I saw this app I downloaded it straight way. Since having this app it’s been amazing I’ve be able to understand what I can support my child with and do age appropriate activities with them to support, it’s nice for myself to track my child knowing where we are at and where I may need to support him that little bit more. I will continue to use this app I am very happy with it and would recommend to anyone!

I have a childcare background and I am now a mum to an 8 month old little girl. All I can say is I wish I could’ve used this to track my key children’s development at work 🥲 would’ve made it so much easier for the parents to see and understand! It’s amazing and the activities suggestions are great as they suggest using things that everyone has at home! I love that I can support my little girl achieve her NATURAL and developmentally appropriate as well as personalised next steps and I love that the milestones aren’t limited to the main 3 areas of learning (sensory?? Hello!! How amazing!!). I have no suggestions yet as I’ve only been using the app two days. Hopefully I’ll be able to afford to keep it as I think it’s incredible!

Completely dishonest in how its marketed as a free app when really you can’t use it without paying. And this is after you put your name and email address in. Unbelievable.
