The Wonder Weeks App

I got this app after I saw someone talking about it on Facebook and thought why not give it a good. I’ve put price down as a weakness but it was only £3.99 so for what you get that’s pretty good. As my baby was prem it was good to use this to see where he should be in his development. I liked the fact this app took into consideration that he was prem unlike other apps I used. It’s nice to be able to read some information about baby and how they are developing. The app is well done and easy to find what you’re looking for. I’m so glad I found this app and will keep it on my phone until baby number two comes along.

I like this app as it’s very informative and clear about baby’s development. Each stage has information as well as videos showing developmental milestones. However it does take up s lot of memory and is expensive for an app.

I was recommended this app by another mum. It was £4.99 but it has a lot of info. It explains each leap in the babies mental development. It’s nice knowing why your baby could be acting grumpier than normal. And also prepare you for those rocky times. I found it very accurate. I would highly recommend for first time mums.

I ummed and arred about this app for a good while. It was recommended to me by a friend and one night in bed I decided to buy it and see what was going on in my daughters development after a stressful day not being able to please her. Now I know what to expect and it's so helpful.

Its a good app but it easily becomes an addiction and you blame every part of your child's behaviour on if they are "leaping" or not.
I think its nice to know when they are having a developmental milestone and some ideas to help you get through it.

I brought this off the Google play store after it was recommended to me by a friend.

I work in an environment where I am in daily contact with children and thought I knew all about child development until I had this app.

I have found this really informative and told me all about "leaps" our babies go through and what to expect when they are going through it.

I find the app really good in the respect it uses a child's birth date as oppose to expected delivery date like most other apps I have used. My little one was only three weeks early but it is amazing how that can affect development in just though few weeks with regards to what she should be doing etc.

I have found the app to be spot on when she has had a bad day and the app is really good in explaining why your baby may be frustrated etc. It comes with a clear built in calendar and explains really well what can happen on different days.

It is a little pricey but if you are wanting to know about development and also how you can assist your baby I would download this. Unlike other apps it does repeatedly tell you all babies are different and not to worry if your baby isn't doing the things it states which I found really reassuring.

This is a fantastic app, especially for first time mums. This app was almost on point with when my baby was having a “leap” and the information shared meant I knew what my little one was experiencing and why he was maybe more restless than usual or upset. It’s easy to use and gives a real insight Into your baby’s world. Highly recommend downloading.

I bought the wonder weeks book - but the app is much more helpful. You set it up with your child’s age & add a photo if you want. Then it creates a dates graph (see photo) for your child. The app is easy to navigate. I would say that sometimes stormy periods on the app do not match up to real life. But I think if you take it with a pinch of salt & not 100% literally then it’s a good reference.

This app is great for tracking development. Lots of insights into baby's behaviours. Also has great tips of what to be encouraging babies to do. The app is nicely presented and clear. My only negative is the app costs money and since changing my phone from iPhone to android I've had to pay for the app twice.

For £3.99 this app is truly wonderful, it gives you so much information as to what is going on in babies new world and really helps you to understand why they might be displaying certain behaviours. The negatives I found were that the leap phases weren’t always very accurate and it left me basically putting all my daughters ‘strange’ behaviour down to the leaps when actually seven months on and she is just a very fussy and particular baby. It also made me worry a bit in the earlier months as the app says things like “by the end of this leap your baby should be able to...” and often my baby wasn’t reaching those milestones and I found that hard to accept. I actually stopped tracking/reading the app for a while due to this. However I am so glad I purchased it, it is really worth the money! So much interesting information and video examples of things which is great.

I find this an interesting read. I love being able to understand the reason behind my daughters behaviours and what I can expect to come in the next weeks. However I have found that I can be a bit off with the dates.

This was very reassuring in the early days when trying to understand why our babies were unsettled. I liked being able to read what the developments were in each leap. However, I found that the dates and weeks were completely inaccurate for our girls, even when using their due date rather than actual birth date.

I found it hard to get the hang of the app. It wasn't described when I downloaded the app, so it wasn't particularly clear to me. I thought it was good that it was free as i didn't get on with it, it wasn't a waste of money.

I purchased this app as after my second child 3 years after my first, I’d completely forgotten about all the leaps, growth spurts etc.
So I’d been doing some research online and this looked very popular and I liked the look of some of the screen shots I’d seen so I bought it.
First of all logging In... the app crashed 4 times so I wasn’t that impressed.

But once I got going I thought it was pretty good as it tells you week by week what to expect- though you should bare in mind that not every baby moves as this speed. For example it says to expect ‘ stormy weather’ around weeks 8-9 but I think my daughter shot through that at 7 weeks.

The only thing I would say is which the chart it’s self that plots the expected behaviour was more interactive and also the price of the app is a bit over priced in my opinion.

All in all though a good app ?
