Generic and wildly inaccurate info.

It’s not an expensive app so I guess if it makes you feel better when your baby is fussy and you want a ‘reason’ then go for it. But if you TRULY want to understand your baby and teach them based on where they are at developmentally this ISNT the resource for that. I haven’t found it to really be worth the money. Seems like according to the app your child is almost always in a leap with maybe a week or two break in between. The milestones and what your baby might be able to do are definitely not accurate amd often not even developmentally age appropriate. For my 5 month old, his current leap says he may CRAWL after a parent. Uh, what? I thought this was based on research, what 5 month olds are crawling? The ‘activities’ to do with your baby to help during the leap are super basic things that you are probably going to do anyway.
Innacurate developmental information

Okay so, The Wonder Weeks seems great in theory, but it just isn’t. My baby has not followed any of the leaps and we are about to enter “Leap 5.” In reading about leap 5, the examples and skills are way off. For instance, it says “sit in the middle of the floor and let your baby crawl to you.” What?? A 5 month old can’t crawl yet! It also says “say “do you want a sandwich?” When you put her plate in front of her.” Again, I am not putting a plate with a sandwich in front of my 5 month old. There are more things that I don’t agree with in this app, those are just a few examples. Not worth the money!!
Dread your baby w this app

It might be interesting, but this was a waste of money and a bad inclusion in our lives. Patenting becomes “making it” through leaps and then reminding yourself to enjoy the days they aren’t in a leap. It’s not human to enjoy every moment as a parent. Do what you can, survive, enjoy, have fun, and sometimes it’s harder than other times. Do not recommend this app. You are doing your best already.
Mad I paid for this

Desperate to learn more about the leaps I paid for this and now I’m disappointed. The app says the leaps can be up to two weeks from the prediction, but there is no way to indicate that your baby is leaping even a day earlier. Instead the condescending app says “you haven’t taken this leap yet”. Well… your FAQ and my fussy baby says otherwise. Save your 4.99 for a coffee - money better spent.
Waste of money

Do yourself a favor and just Google developmental milestones for free instead of paying for this app. It’s redundant and not helpful at all
We want MORE! Update for Toddler

This app is so useful! It’s nice to look on here and see “oh my LO is out of sorts because she’s growing”. It really gives everyone in the household an extra measure of patience and grace when we know she’s not at her best. Now with that said, PLEASE extend it into the toddler years! We’re blessed that our daughter talks fairy well for an 18month old, but that doesn’t mean she can tell us that she’s uncomfortable and needs extra lovings. I think extending the app to an advance talking age will help others and myself have more patience during “terrific twos” ? and “threeagers” ?. Thank you for providing this peace of mind! I hope we can see an update soon!
Okay, just too basic
and then we cried OH NO
It doesn’t have much content. There’s just a calendar and two bullet point lists - one for leaps and one for achievements. There aren’t tips, no articles, nothing educational. There’s nothing that says, start repeating hard consonants to them…or, start doing peek a boo…or look out for grabbing now...babies can see this far now…also the leap timeframe is not accurate. I’m supposed to be 3/4 done with leap 4 and he hasn’t even started I don’t think. It’s not a lot of money but it’s a waste of money. Very very disappointed.
Not necessary

The only thing I like about this app is that it estimates where your baby might be more fussy than normal. However, it’s not always accurate and there’s no guarantee that it will be. Then throw in other factors like teething and you still don’t know what the heck is going on until you see a tooth (or not). The price isn’t outrageous so if you have a couple bucks that you feel like burning, then go for it. But I kinda wish I hadn’t bought it. I’m sure there’s several online resources to tell a parent the gist.
Meh

I don’t feel it was worth the money to buy this app. A lot of generic information I could have found anywhere on the internet.
