An editorial reading of the saved reviews

An app for predicting developmental leaps based on the Wonder Weeks book. It gives context for a baby's fussy behavior, but accuracy varies and depends on the individual child.

What people use it for

Parents who want to explain fussy behavior through a developmental leap model

What reviews praise

Parents whose babies match the model feel relief: they understand the reason for fussiness in advance.

What reviews complain about

The leap window is vague (plus or minus a week or two), and when it does not match the baby, it feels like money wasted.

What users experience

5 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I have used this app for all 4 of my children now and I swear by the accuracy of the leaps! I love the suggested activities to enhance each leap and the skills baby is learning! Knowing potential reasons behind the "storms" is very helpful, especially to prepare a bit in advance for them!

I used this for my first born in 2020/2021 and it was so helpful. It helped me understand my baby's brain, their needs, and it helped me understand that I wasn't messing up when he'd become fussier.

I feel like it's a little behind on actual development. My baby was born early so I feel like her jumps are more aligned with her actual birth date vs her estimated delivery date which was what the app recommended

Update: adding some stars after experiencing great customer service support to address my issues with the app. Major regrets in purchasing this. Several parents recommended it and in a fog of new parent delirium I paid for a subscription. It "predicts" fussy episodes BUT with a 1-2 week window

We've used the wonder weeks app with all three of our kiddos. It helps give context to what our infants are going through, how we can help them, and milestones we can look out for. Nothing in this app says these milestones HAVE to happen but that they could be happening. We use the app to track fuss
