How we scored these apps
Each app was used for at least 30 days by a test family with a 6-month-old baby. We rated each app on 12 dimensions (logging speed, feature accuracy, multi-caregiver, data privacy, free tier value, pediatrician export, app store ratings trend, customer support responsiveness, value for money, design, reliability, growth roadmap).
Wermom owns this site (momappreview.com). To prevent bias, we use a fixed 12-dimension framework and publish our scoring spreadsheet. Where Wermom loses on a specific dimension, we say so.
