Milk Maid App Reviews

This app is really great looking and easy to use. There are two big things I'd love to see so I can stop using multiple apps for all the functions I need. First, there is a timer for each breast, but no alarm setting. So it's great to see how long I've pumped but if I want to pump for 15 minutes I have to open my clock app and set an alarm. A built in alarm would rock. Second, the reminders should have time increments in minutes and hours, not just clock times. If I need to pump every 3 hours it may not be the same times each day. So then I go into my reminders to tell me to pump 3 hours after my last time. If you added a way to add that so it could be set to reoccur that would make this app near perfect for my needs as a mom pumping for preemie twins!!

I love this app. I EP and it is perfect! EXCEPT.. I just got a new phone and I don't have any of my info on this phone. I think there needs to be a account or something so you can take all your info when changing phones!

This app really helps me because I exclusively pump for my baby. I can keep tabs on my output, the averages and stats are great. It also helps me organize and know my stash and helps me stay on track with pumping. Well worth it

I've been searching for an app that could track my breast pumping schedule and volume as well as set reminders for pump times. This app was the best I've found but it still has some missing features. Below are my findings: **Bugs** - reminder still goes off if a pump is already in progress **Feature Requests** - add a timer for feeding duration like the native iOS timer. If the screen goes to sleep or you switch to a different app, there is no way of telling the pump time lapsed. - conversion equivalent from mL to Oz (eg. 30mL = 1oz) - ability to add baby's personalized information and photo album - better UI for stats, current layout is difficult to read - add songs from iTunes library to play while pumping Thanks, keep up the good work!

Very helpful fir keeping track of my milk stash - particularly that it lets you customize multiple locations (e.g., home fridge, home freezer, daycare fridge, etc.). Would be nice if you could edit the amounts after you have entered new bottles into stash. Instead need to delete and renter that bottle. Needs improvement with splitting and merging bottles. Manually entered stash items don't count for statistics - only if it's entered through using the "pump" feature.

I only wish there was a Room Temp/hours until expired option, as I try to use fresh milk when possible.

Do NOT use if exclusively pumping. Terrible app. Use medela "pumping log" app. Way better.

I love this app. It is very useful and I wish I had been using it the last 3 months. But when I combine bottles why can't I choose how many ml/oz I combine. Sometimes I combine only part of a bottle to make a bag and I can't do it this way on the app. So for it to work for me I will just have to add bottles/bags once already made and not as I pump. Very disappointing for such a great app.

I am exclusively pumping for my son. I needed a tool to help keep track of how much I was pumping out and a way to keep track of my growing freezer stash. With the app, I know how much my son is drinking, how much I pump each day, and exactly how many ounces I have stored in each freezer or fridge I keep the milk in.

Love this app! It's great for keeping track of everything pumping related. I especially love the statistics.

May i suggest an improvement wherein I can see the time difference between pumps, say, I pumped 10am, next pump is 1:30pm, there's something clearly saying that my time between pumps is 3hrs30min. Maybe at the history or graphs area. Or beside the daily totals. It would be helpful.

I use this app to manage my stash of donated milk. I receive milk from different dates, and it would be GREAT if instead of scrolling through the dates, I could just input the date. Something to consider? Thank you!

Ever since updating, I can't open the app! Please help! I depend on this app!!

Ok, I admit it. I'm a numbers person. Our baby was born extremely prematurely and milk supply problems were not something I had ever imagined I'd have to deal with, but g*** matter a great deal since milk is medicine for preemies. Pumping really blows and I needed motivation to keep at it. In chart form. This app rocks. It's totally brainless, actually, it is my brain since I have mom brain and can't be counted on to keep on top of pumping times. It tracks everything and I can easily see volume increases from day to day or week to week! I can look at the home screen and know how much time has elapsed since I last pumped, and how much milk I've made that day. I love being at to quickly reference how much milk is stored where and how much the baby has eaten! I honestly think pumping would not have gone as well as it has without the help of this app. It's expensive, as apps go, but extremely cheap based in how heavily I have used it and how easy it has made my life! Thank you so much for making it!!!

I use this app every day, every pumping. It's giving me the ability to track in detail my progress in milk production and has really helped motivate me to get out of bed in the middle of the night. Two things that could be better - 1) default on is to "new bottle". I'd prefer to change this as it creates a new row for every pump and is manual to merge. 2) the alarm is kind of useless as its just a push notification and I need sound. Otherwise, I can't live without this app!

So I read through every detail and rating I could find for this app and I was under the impression that it had the option to help you keep track of your nursing schedule as well as your pumping one. I wanted one like that so that I could get appropriate help keeping track of the time frame between feedings so I knew when the best time to pump is. My life is insanely chaotic and I don’t have a lot of time to sit and keep track of this AND keep track of the paper I wrote it on. I am also struggling with some health issues that leave me In and out of appointments and upcoming hospital stays so I’m trying to pump and prep for this. After several great reviews and research on this app I payed the $2.99 and downloaded it just open it and find that there is no way to track your nursing schedule. It is strictly a pumping App, no nursing. Please please please correct this ASAP I already payed for it and everything else seem great!

This app is really great looking and easy to use. There are two big things I'd love to see so I can stop using multiple apps for all the functions I need.

I wish I can give it 5 stars but the alarm option needs to work as an alarm and not a quite alert that if I don't have my phone on me I will miss it. I also find the export option confusing. But other than those 2 issues this app is amazing and well worth the 2.99.

Very disappointed in this app, especially since I had to pay for it! I've been using for 2 months and the data is not as accessible or presented in as useful a manner as it could be. Save your money and your time and use a different app to track your pumping - I wish I had!

Great app to keep track of your stash of breast milk. You know where it is and how much is left.

I've been exclusively pumping for two months now so I use this app between 5 and 7 times a day. Although great for tracking pumps and supply, it kills my phone's battery, which is unfortunate.

I absolutely love this app. It's prefect. It's great for helping me to keep track of my supply. The only thing is that I think they should make it so your info will sync to multiple devices. I have the app installed on my iPad and I just recently installed it onto my iphone and all the info on my iPad isn't on my iphone. There should be like an account to set up with it so you can enter your email and password onto multiple devices and manage to bring up all your info. If they could just do this then the app would be gold! But other than that. It's amazing.

This is great. I breast feed and pump. Now I'm trying to build up a supply for when I go back to work. This gives me piece of mind to see how much milk I have already saved. The only issue I have is you can't change volumes if you've already entered them.

Sets you up with stats on milk production for both sides and has a lot of options for labeling containers so you can keep track of all of your milk whether it be at home, in freezer, at daycare, work, etc. you keep track easily using the "use" tab. Very user friendly esp for a tech deficient person like me.

Works wonderfully so I don't have to wonder how much I have, and where it is between the house and NICU. I don't know how I've survived the last two weeks of my twin girls life without this. Helps immensely for middle if the night pumping where I don't have to actually do the math at 4am going on little sleep. My only issue I'd that the reminder to pump portion only has the tri-tone sound and you can't change that. I wish it was able to set as an actual alarm that wakes me up.

This app is wonderful. I love being able to keep track of how much I produce each day and how much I'm shipping to my surrogate baby. The only b***** about this app is that all my stats disappeared when I got a new phone and downloaded it again. I loved seeing how much I've produced since the beginning. I wish we could have a log in so all information is stored in case users get new phones!

Don't waste your money.

I LOVE this app!!! It is so nice to know what I have, where its stored, and what I have used. Donate option is great to see what I have given away. I wish there was a breast fed option so it would track the time between a pump or fed. I pump when away and feed when I'm home so it would be nice to show last time I empty my breast by either. It worth the price to track everything though.

Great for pumping mama's! Also outstanding if u want to keep track of ur stash, milk donations, and daily totals. If ur in the NICU this is especially helpful :) congrats to all the new mommies!

It doesn't get better than this. If you pump, especially exclusively, you will not be disappointed in this app. It has everything and it's kept me on track for over 4 months.

I use this app five times per day and I don't know how I would keep track with pumping/feeding without it. I don't usually purchase apps, but this is absolutely worth it for the amount of use that I get out of it. I especially like the numerous stats that you can get, including your daily history, change per day, and averages. You can export all of the data to your email. If you are a pumping woman, this will be an invaluable tool. I have shared it with several friends who love it as well. The one suggestion I do have would be the ability to go back and edit if you make a mistake. For example, I accidentally typed that I pumped 22 ounces instead of 2. So I then had to go in and put that I dumped 20 ounces to make it right. However, those extra 20 ounces are being included in the stats and skewing things a bit. With that update, this app would be near perfect!

If you are an exclusive pumping mother, this app is for you! I love keeping track of how much milk I produce! It is also good for keeping track of how much milk you have.

I absolutely love this app it's easy to use and helps me keep on track. I would not change anything about the existing features but would love a few things added. I have to supplement with formula and am working to supplement less so a way to track how much formula is used would be great. I am able to occasionally nurse and having a breast feeding time in between pumps would be great. I have forgotten to start the pumping timer so being able to add a pumping session manually would be great. Overall this app is well worth the money!

I've been using this app for just over three weeks and for someone exclusively pumping it was been absolutely perfect. I'm pumping because my baby was 14 weeks early and will be in the NICU long term. The stats are easy to show the lactation consultant and now that I'm freezing milk at home the location tracker can't be beat. Thank you for such a great app! (Future enhancement suggestion would be to enter baby's weekly weight so the use or can be recalculated. I'd be open to beta testing any changes you make.)

I'm exclusively pumping for my newborn and wanted to keep track of how much milk I was putting into the deep freezer. This app does just that but I've also found it useful to keep track of how much I'm pumping so I can see any decrease in supply. I really like being able to see how long ago I pumped. The only negative I've found is the reminders. I get a simple pop up on my phone but I wish this app could somehow be tied to my alarm clock.

If you are even looking at this app then you are here for a reason, and while this app is expensive for what it does, it does what you are needing. Having a premee to take care of is insane, I don't need to tell you that. The first days you are trying every two hours just to get enough for your next feeding, and this app tracks down to the decimals for your first days looking forward to getting a single ml. I have locations in the app telling me how much we have in the Hospital Freezer, Home Freezer, Home Fridge, etc. They are customizable for you. The charts and data lists give you a quick glance to how much milk produced, and take a time for how long you are pumping. You can change what time your "day" starts for the charts, and transfer inventory from location to location with a one-click look to see how much you have and where. Whether you buy this app or not, for the reasons you are here, I wish you luck.

This is a great app for pumping mothers. Totally helpful to keeping track of milk supply and for being able to track what is affecting supply. BUT, there is not a backup option to import info to app. So, when your iPhone stops connecting to wifi and you have to get it replaced, all of your hard work is gone! 5 months of information...and now I'm starting all over. Besides that one thing, I really like it!

App is great - wish I'd found it sooner! Like other reviewers, wish could combine parts not wholes, but also... It seems that the app sees the "time since last pump" etc by using the time you STARTED pumping vs the time you stopped. To be an accurate representation of the gap of time, you use the time you stop pumping to the time you start pumping again. Also, "pause" button was confusing to me in the pump screen when what I really expected to see was a "stop" button (or both). Also, would be great if the opening screen would not just show time since last pump, but time since last feeding. One more thing! The most important. For those of us that have to supplement with formula, would be great for there to be a "formula feed" tracker that would integrate with the BM feeder - and be able to calculate how "short" you are on BM.... So you could see easily a "goal" to set for yourself to increase your BM supply. And like "82% BM" for a 24 hr period, etc...."you need 8.25 more oz a day of BM"--- you get the idea! Thank you for a great app!!!!!!

Keeps perfect inventory of all my milk. Makes being a new mom a little bit easier by keeping track of all of my expressed milk for me. Pumping, feeding, expiration dates, fridge, freezer, etc it's all covered! Most useful app I've ever bought!

I love this app, it is very user friendly and tracks everything. As a surrogate, the option to donate isn't in all apps and it's a great feature for me.

Perfect for keeping track of amount pumped and stored and where. I don't know how I survived without this for the first week! Only thing I wish it had is an hours option for expiration, so that I can manage how long the milk I have out will last.

This app does exactly what it says! Helped me track my pumping sessions as well as how much milk I had on hand as I built up my stash for my little one. Many apps allow you to track pumping sessions but this is the only one I've found that helps you manage the milk you have on hand. A must have for any pumping/stashing mama!

I took a gamble and purchased this app from the App Store when there were no reviews of it. I am so glad I did. This app is perfect for me. I just returned to work and am pumping for my baby while I'm away from her. I love that I am able to track my stash and move bottles from one location to the next. It even helps combine the bottles easily so you are tracking consumption properly. Having history and stats gives me a good idea for output vs input as well as b*** vs b*** for volume. This app helped me realize that one of my care providers was over feeding my baby by 3oz! That's a whole bottle and a lot of pump time for me! Anyways, I recommend this app for moms that are pumping for their EBF baby.

Useful for tracking amount of milk pumped and the times I've pumped but the reminders are worthless. All I get is a written reminder on my screen but no sound. I have to use the alarm clock feature on my iPhone.

I am exclusively pumping and I love this app for maintaining milk supply and my pumping info all in one place. The only improvement I wish was that the edit feature allowed me to change more information. When inputting a feeding, I picked the wrong bag of milk and can't edit it.

My biggest drawback is I wish there was a deep freezer setting in the locations. App shows that I have milk about to expire yet it's not because it's in a deep freezer instead of a fridge freezer. I do love keeping up with how much milk I'm saving up!

As an EPing momma this app is awesome!!! I love it. I love the statistics so I can see how my supply is doing and I'm able to see how much baby is consuming. I used it for my daughter (born 2012) now I'm using it for my son (born 3/2016). Love it.

I'm exclusively pumping, I have used this app for a week and love it. There is one flaw and a few modifications that I'm wishing for). If you make a mistake and input it as one container when you fix it the original container is still maintained with the combined volume... I correct this by dumping the error amount (which obviously isn't right but I'm not fussed because I don't track dumped milk - which in my case is none) There are three modifications that I would wish for - 1 history - I wish you can just toggle between seeing feeding only or pumping only instead of both. I want to see the fluctuations between pumping session volume and feeding volume per feeding. Another is the supply #. 2 - I wish there was a bar chart per day that shows you how much your stash is growing. I've been tracking for a week and I'm now at 2 day stash with 1.5 freezer and .5 fridge would love to see how much each stash is growing by day. Right now I have to go to statistics to see it for that day. 3 - I use the small 80 ml bottles and sometimes I use more than 2 containers - so I have to create a fake pump so that the containers can be I putted properly. Wish you can divide up the pumping session in more than 2 containers. This is my very first review of any app so it's obvious that I use this app enough. Also, I started out formula feeding and had to create earlier fake pump session so I can track the feeding amount in the beginning, can't the app have a button for formula feedings for those mothers that supplement?

Really worth the 2.99. Great for keeping track of multiple stashes. Helps with reminders for pumping and very customizable. Highly recommended.

I've been almost exclusively pumping for 2 months now and this has been an amazing app for that. I'm particularly fond of the stats it provides. I can see how my output changes over time compared to how much baby boy is eating per day.
