I love this app!

As a stay at home mom of a 5 month old and a 2 1/2 year old, this app helps add fun and learning into our days. It also makes me feel like I am able to bond with each of my girls individually where they are at developmentally. I love that you can mark your favorite activities or tell the app when an activity is either too easy or to difficult for your child. If you mark an activity as being too easy it will take it out of the rotation. If you mark an activity as too difficult it will add it back into the rotation in 3 weeks.

As a sleep deprived, busy mom who also wants to engage with her children, this app does all the thinking for me. When we have some free time all I have to do is go to today’s program and there is a list of fun, amazing ways to use that time while also fostering growth and development. I also love how it breaks down each activity into categories of Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Cognitive, Speech, Self Care and Social/Emotional activities.

Keep up the great work BabySparks!

Entertaining and helpful!

BabySparks is great! No new parent needs to pressure themselves too much because most of these activities simulate normal day-to-day interaction and play that most great parents do with their baby. However, I’m one of those people who will get stuck in a rut and end up doing the same 5 activities with baby over and over every day. This app provides a wide range of activities to vary your playtime. I love that the activity descriptions are clear, the link to the various developmental milestones is described right there in the activity and every activity has an accompanying video.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because of a very slight misstep in the UI. It is mildly annoying that when you look at an activity it stops you on your way back to the main list to ask how the activity was. I like to look at the daily activities first thing in the morning and get an idea of what we’re going to try that day and again would be nice not to have to click extra times to get back to the main list. It’s an unnecessary step. It’s a small thing but over time feels cumbersome. Slightly more thought on how much button pushing is required in this app would make it a 5-star treat for every new parent!

Really?

I’ve just created my children’s profiles and clicked on a milestone to view it, and I was prompted to subscribe. I then went to view a potty training video and it again prompted me to purchase the lesson or subscribe. I am a pediatric nurse, thus my purpose in downloading this app is to find an easy tool that I can refer my patient’s parents use. I was attracted to this app because of it’s high 5-star rating and because of the activities and lessons that they suggest parents to do with their children. It seemed to serve as an easy guide for parents who want to help their children but don’t know how. There are many resources out there that cost little to nothing — if you have the means, why not purchase? But if you don’t, like many of us, then it’s not feasible to spend money on something like this. I’ll refer my parents to CDC Milestone Tracker, which is by the way a free service. I do appreciate the thought behind this app and I know the developers mean well; I’ve seen them reply to most, if not all, reviews. Kudos to people who keep our children in the best interests because it seems to be a shortage in pediatric services nationwide.

Best wishes to all.

Hi. Our purpose is in fact to help parents or caregivers who want some guidance on raising their babies. Thanks for bringing this out, for people who can't afford it, we have a free option which gives access to child’s growth and development in real-time, all articles, tips, milestones, and 2 activities per day. Thanks again for your valuable opinion and we hope you have an amazing day!
