====================================
Baby Log
Number of Features: 7
Price: $4.99
With simple one-touch entry, a parent can record diaper changes, sleep, feeding, bath and a user-defined “other” parameter. Each entry can be easily edited, and notes can be added. Parents can then email data and export into Excel to take along to the doctor’s or keep a more permanent record.
Pros: This app offers a professional, polished look. It’s clean, easy to use, and easy to edit information.
Cons: Baby Log loses points because it does not have a timer function, with the exception that the app tracks time since last entry for each category. Parents are then expected to calculate how long their baby slept, or how long they breastfed baby.
Update (4/2/09), according to Joe, the developer of “Baby Log” iPhone app, the app has the following feature:
“One feature of Baby Log that I’d like to bring to your attention is the timer for sleep, feed, and other. The timer starts when the user creates a new entry. Then, when the user would like to stop the timer, they open the entry and tap “save timer as duration” and it lists the current elapsed time. So, in addition to having elapsed time since the last entry, Baby Log has the ability for the user to stop the timer and save it as the duration. This feature has been in Baby Log since October.”
