Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.

Developer says data deletion can be requested
Measuredfrom the store listingview evidence
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text

One source only — shown, not confirmed 4

A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.

What reviewers said

Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.

Aggressive ad load

I don't want or need to track anything else, I was doing this in another app and have since stopped. I was looking for baby development ideas. deleted account and app very quickly because it was busy and lots of adds anytime I clicked…

App advertises that there are limited free daily activities but I have confirmed with tech support there are no free daily activities. Everything is hidden behind the premium upgrade. Tons of ads pop up every couple of clicks, app is trash

1★ · Google Play · 2024-01-18

If I could I would give 0 stars it's outrageous to charge 12.99 a month for child care tips. Or at the time of "Sale" 60$ a year. The free version is useless I get to just view what I can't have with an ad for premium in my face every 2…

Trial converts to a charge

DO NOT START THE TRIAL — YOU MAY GET CHARGED I strongly recommend that people DO NOT even start the free trial for this app. I attempted to cancel during the trial period, but THE CANCELLATION FLOW IN THE APP DID NOT WORK. After multiple…

DO NOT GET (Do not do the 'free' trial period) I didn't find the app useful, so I tried to get rid of the app before being charged after the free trial period but couldn't and got charged £30 which is ridiculous

1★ · Google Play · 2023-06-27

Saw this advertised to me on IG...video says "Free App"... so I installed. I can't get passed the page that says "$0 for 7 days" it's a free trial and you have to input your credit card info in order to get anywhere on the app…

Paywall blocks the basics

Edit: it got worse. Tracking milestones used to be free but i now part of a subscription only service. Even clicking on a milestone to see more detail on what is considered "met" is for subscription only! An okay app, but as of a few…

The interface is clunky and everything seems to be locked behind a paywall. It looks like it's meant to be one all inclusive app but I have 2 seperate apps that I paid for that so the same things at a fraction of the cost of this app with…

1★ · Google Play · 2023-12-04

While the Free version is completely useless, I managed to snag a great deal on a subscription and have found it well worth the cost. Not only does it help track development, offering relevant age- and developmentally-appropriate…

Upgrade prompts use guilt-trip wording

Incredibly sad. I used this app for my daughter in 2021. I used the free version first it was great and even bought the paid version. Now in 2023 all it does it constantly ask me to pay for it and can't even use a free version. How sad…

Completely locked in to only pay. Even for updating milestones. What a scam Edit: no, it's not even available on the free version. All you get is pay walls and then a page where you can get 'tips' but can't even access the tips without a…

dont waste your money offering to do a trial for 30 day for £3.49 but everything is locked and then keep telling you to pay now even more loke £12.00 to unlock the app. Make up your mind! and the app generally doesn't offer anymore…

How the automated analysis works

Automated, corroborated, and never human-reviewed without a person.

This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.

No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.

There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.

Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.

 Not yet human-reviewed

Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.

Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
