Baby Book Milestones: BabyPage 4+

Perfect Baby Book

I downloaded this app right after my first was born. I love it! It is so easy to use and make the perfect pages! You can begin with your pregnancy and create pages every four weeks. There are also multiple pages for milestones in your pregnancy like first heartbeat, nursery, baby shower, and first kick. Then, after baby is born there are so many options! They have them for every holiday and all kinda of firsts. You can also do the first four weeks and then every month! I love that there are prompts and multiple choice questions to help you figure out what to write. The app will also write a small blurb for you, but I prefer to write my own! There are options for custom pages so you can add your own ideas. I love this because it allowed me to add more pages like first time meeting family, car ride home, and hospital pictures. There are also picture only pages which let me add in his profession newborn photoshoot pics! I haven’t created a book yet because I am waiting for him to turn 1 year first, but I predict the ease of using the app will be reflected in the ordering and receiving process!

Thank you so much for the glowing and thorough review! We wanted to create a way to record all of the moments and memories quickly and easily BUT with creative flexibility too, so it is great to hear you enjoying the process!

Needs a lot of work

I committed to this program for my child’s baby book when I subscribed to get access to the “plus” features so have to use it now, but I’ve been very disappointed. There are so many little programming issues that would be easy to fix and improve the app tremendously. I even emailed my feedback to their team some months ago and haven’t seen any changes.

For example - once chosen, the photos for a specific page cannot be swapped around on the page (as you can do on many popular photobook sites). You have to delete and re-select each one individually. Second, the graph of weights and heights doesn’t have a normal x-axis based on linear time. Rather, each data point is the same distance apart, whether it was 1 month or 2 months since the last data point. Oh, and if you don’t have a height or weight for a date then it substitutes a ‘zero’ value, making the graph dip to zero. Finally (though there are many more examples), the pages don’t populate into a book in chronological order. Each page is dated, but heaven forbid they would actually populate the book in that order. The pages have to be individually selected to be added to a book (no “select all” option) and then manually dragged into the order you want them in.

These seem like some pretty basic features for an app that’s centered on making photo books. I would not recommend paying for or using it.

Thank you for your feedback and please rest assured, we are working to make changes and improvements based on the specific items you have listed. 'Chronological Order' and 'Select All' are in the works, as well as making improvements to the height/weight chart. As for the photo swapping, you can absolutely rearrange the photos on a given page. You simply tap on a photo to bring you to the edit screen and then tap, hold, and drag the photo into the desired position. Hope that helps! Please email us with any other feedback and so we can let you know as soon as these features have been updated.

Love this app

The only reason my kids have baby books is this app! Very user friendly! My kids love looking at their monthly pictures in the books- now the grandparents all want one! Many reviews I have read comment on expense but I also have snapfish and have many many books with that app. This one has much more kid friendly options, is easier to use and the prompts for development help you to write a story which I otherwise would not do on snapfish. The cost actually ends up being comparable and the product for use as a baby book is superior on baby page. I can do it all from my phone and it’s quick and easy to edit- not so with free photo storage like snapfish. When you have multiple kids and want them all to have memory books Baby page seems to work much better. And for the time save and ease I would pay a bit extra although by the time you add pages etc on snapfish and the tremendous up charge for shipping it turns out to be the same.
