Pros and cons of Baby Food Allergy Tracker app for iPhone and iPad
Baby Food Allergy Tracker app good for
This app is a must see! I think all Moms should have it! Its a super set up, easy to use, convenient and keeps things organized. I have been trying to keep track of my babies new solid food experience by writing in a makeshift notebook until now! Plus...I understand there are going to be new features added soon! Bonus! Check it out its great!!!
This is an awesome app! All moms should have it. It helps to keep all of your notes and possible reactions that you child could have to a particular food organized.
Some bad moments
Since this is a paid app I was disappointed in how basic it is. If all you want is a list of foods your kid has tried once and any reaction they had then this is the app for you. However, since allergies arent always apparent until theyve ate it a few times I dont find this app very helpful. I wish it had a log feature so you could track a particular food over a period of time. Also, the list of foods is pretty limited. You can add in your own but then the app gets really glitchy. When you try to mark a newly added food as "tried" the app completely closes. Its super annoying that it takes two tries to get it to record that the newly added food was tried. With some updates and added features this app could be helpful but as it is I feel like I wasted my money.
I really like how simple this app is. I have a checklist of foods and I can immediately note any reaction. Good tool to take with you to the doctors. I wish there was a place to put a star rating on the food though. Some babies prefer certain foods and I would like to have a place to log which foods he really liked.
I LOVE THIS APP!! I wish this technology had existed back when my seven year old was trying new foods. She has several allergies. I have been using this app for over a month, as I introduce first foods to my seven month old, and this app is giving me the peace of mind that I will have an easier time keeping track of reactions if they happen this time. It is also handy to have at dr appts.
Hope the tried food can sort by name for easier review!
Also hope the untried food can have the search engine to avoid adding the duplicate new item!
Thank you!
