The Wonder Weeks

This app does an amazing job of letting parents know that they’re not alone when their child is fussy or unmanageable. It’s not their fault that the baby is suddenly inconsolable— it’s a leap! However, like astrology, leaps aren’t actually based in real science and haven’t been proven. Sometimes they are accurate, sometimes they’re not. Take it with a grain of salt. The app is well organized and easy to navigate, though some information is difficult to find or change. IE I know my child’s birthdate and information is entered, but finding where that is seems to be a bit of a scavenger hunt for a specific item at a grocery store when you’re not quite sure that shop even has it. (For those wondering, you just click the child’s name and then the pencil icon that pops up.) Overall I’d say it’s not worth the cost, but it is interesting.

I feel like I got influenced to buy this app and overall it is not worth it. I learn so much more from other sources about meeting my babies milestones. The little games are the only neat thing about the app…but I jumped back and forth in different leaps to be able to age appropriately use. I understand that all babies develop different but my baby has been on track for milestones most babies his age are doing so I don’t understand why it’s so all over the place with this app. He doesn’t track with the leaps/fussy phases the app suggests. I feel like this app is not backed with any evidence or designed by people that got education in child development. And all the 5 star reviews seem bought and pushed on social media.

Due date instead of birthdate is inaccurate and it doesn’t tell you anything that Google won’t tell you for free

Not all the time accurate, but overall gives a good insight

So far is pretty off with the predictions, not a lot of what’s described has happened and specially timings are off

Incredible app! Helped me so much with understanding small things my child was doing

I love this app! I have used this with my last 2 babies, and it is very accurate and informative. Every time I’m thinking, “Why is he/she so fussy lately?” I check out the app and lo and behold, they’re going through a leap! I love how informative it is about everything they’re learning and ways you can help them out.

Confusing and wildly inaccurate once you understand it. Useless

Originally paid $6.49 for the app on my old phone back in February 2024 and when I installed the app onto my new phone it’s saying I don’t have an account and I have to resign up and pay a subscription? That’s ridiculous. I loved this app but it’s silly that I have to create a new account and pay a subscription for this when I already paid a fee! I’ll just stick to the book.

So helpful as a parent to understand the cognitive changes my babies are going through! Highly recommend to any parent.
