Onoco - Shared Baby tracker 12+

Super simple and thorough app

I love this app, it covers all the key elements you would want to track with your baby in a format that is well designed and intuitive. Would highly recommend to others. It’s also amazing that we have multiple caregivers able to track, update and intetact with the information- the feed feature is fantastic and we love posting little updates throughout our day and appreciate being able to sort the view to just see specific topics when required.

I couldn’t find a way to contact the developers with feedback but there are builds that would enhance our experience even further, we would love to see more detail added to the insights sections. On the bottle analysis an add of breast vs formula would be so helpful. A percentage breakdown of the different fluid types weekly would help immensely or/and a total volume for each so you can track trends, on nursing a total time weekly in addition to averages. Breastfeeding isn’t simple and as a mum forced to combi feed early on this added dimension would really help me monitor and improve our journey. I don’t believe I’m alone in this and think builds such as this would provide added insight now and when we get to weening while further setting this application apart from competitors.

Brilliant app

This is such a brilliant app, I’ve been using it since baby was a few days old and it covers everything you could need to monitor. I first found it really useful for tracking wet/dirty nappies for when the midwives/HVs asked, and also to track how often and how much he’s feeding. I’m now nearly 6 months in and still using it! I love that you can track changes over time as well, e.g the analysis tab shows how many hours spent nursing each day, and I think it’s really cool to see how he’s got more efficient over the months, and I can also see really quickly if he’s had an off day feeding more or less. It’s great for timing naps and makes it really easy to follow wake windows as it tells you right away on the main screen how long baby has been awake. I also like that you can log medications and have the app remind you when the next dose is due. It just makes things so much easier than trying to hold everything in your head which is surprisingly difficult with a little one! It’s also really intuitive to use - I have tried other apps which claim to help log sleep etc and Onoco is just so much simpler and functional. I can’t quite believe this app is free for all you get with it, but I’m very grateful for it!

Developer Response ,

Wow, thanks for the 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you're loving our app!

1 small thing..

I’ve already wrote a 5 star review because I think that this application is great. However, I think it could be improved if there was a volumetric measurement on breastfeeding. I know that this may be hard to calculate but I think that as new parents , it would be good to see (on average ) the amount of ounces are being given to your new born. That, and cross referencing the breastfeeding to the formula feeding. I think the breastfeeding and total formulae intake should be calculated as a whole, if of course you can calculate the volume of breastfeeding.

That’s just an idea of mine that I think may be worthwhile. Other than that I think it’s a great application

Developer Response ,

Regarding the volumetric measurement of breastfeeding, we understand that it would be helpful for new parents to have an estimate of how much breastmilk their baby is consuming. However, it is indeed challenging to make an accurate prediction of breastmilk volume. Women have different milk flow rates, and babies eat at different paces. These factors would make it difficult to provide a reliable measurement of breastmilk intake for all users.Nonetheless, we appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind as we continue to explore ways to enhance our app's features. Best wishes!
