Easy to use app, though there are a lot of inspirational parenting quotes that are nice but pop up a bit too frequently and err on the cheesy side.
Developer Response
Hi OK Kid A, thank you for the 4-star review and the honest feedback! We're glad you find the app easy to use.You make a great point about the quotes. We added them thinking they'd be inspiring during the naming journey, but we hear you - not everyone wants them, and they can definitely interrupt the flow of browsing names.We're adding a toggle in the next update to turn off quotes entirely, and we're also reducing their frequency for those who keep them on. No more cheesy interruptions when you're in the zone finding the perfect name!Thanks for helping us improve Namely. Your feedback directly shapes updates like this one.
Very Nice!!

EDIT: I love that the developers actually listen to what their users want and added the features I was looking for. I also like the facts and helpful tips for deciding between loading lists. And it’s even more beautiful than before. This has become my favorite app for looking for baby names!… Original: It’s a very aesthetically pleasing app and is easy to use. However, I’d like the options to “dislike” names so they won’t keep showing in the list and also to be able to invite my partner to like names and show us our matches.

Best of the apps

I’m liking it a lot so far. The name options are superior to other apps and I haven’t experienced glitches at all. I like the font - my eyes have hurt going through names in other apps. I recommend adding a match column for your partners and some kind of pop up when a match is made. I also wish a couple only had to pay once - if this is possible to do I haven’t found out how yet.
