The Observant Mom App Reviews

App did not work well for me. It said to tap the date for more information and that did not work. The dates were untappable. Complete waste of money.

I am a mom of three and early childhood educator, and this app has not only helped me understand my own children, but support other parents in their journey as well. I know when a leap is coming, understand that my child’s behavior is developmental and not take it personally, and support them through times of emotional development. It’s always so accurate! Anytime I notice a change in my child’s behavior I open the app and it explains why, right down to the fact that one day my son‘s bicycle hel

A neighbor who is an early childhood educator recommended this app to me, and wow is it amazing. The information here is clearly a labor of love. The descriptions of the milestones are uncannily accurate right down to some of the example scenarios. It makes me feel so much better knowing milestones where it seems like my kids’ behavior is totally mystifying are very developmentally normal and appropriate. It also helps me coach better as a parent. Thank you!!!

I absolutely love all of her work. This app is extremely useful and helpful (especially during those intense periods). I’ve had this app for a while and Everything about the milestones for the age of the child is extremely accurate! I recommend to all my mama friends!

Spot on & immensely helpful information on age-related developmental milestones for your growing child. I am so thankful I found this content to continue after wonderweeks/leaps left me hanging high & dry at 2yo. THANK YOU AMBER! You are every parents hero! Keep going!

Edit: I did hear back and learned the app covers 18 months - 5 years. Whoops! I did not read the details when purchasing, I just went off of fellow mom reviews. Thankfully, there is a ton of helpful info my almost 3-year old - and on her worst days, I can look at her calendar and see what’s going on. I can’t see anything for our youngest! He is 2.5 months old, and his calendar is blank. I reached out via email, but never heard back.

For those who experience a cliff of understanding when other baby milestone and development leap guides end at 18months this fills the void. It’s much more detailed and really helps me understand my child. Sometimes the skills and examples are very specific and don’t seem to match what is going on with my child but the descriptions are such that I can see what his version is.

I have found the developmental tracking to be very helpful in raising my youngest son. I appreciate the work the creator has put into this.

I am so thankful for this app! The timing of my child's calmer times and more intense/difficult times are SO accurate. Like eerily accurate. It’s very useful. It helps me respond more compassionately when I remember that she's having a hard time because her brain is working on big developmental leaps. I seriously schedule things like photoshoots or trips for times when she'll be in a more sunny/easy period! The insight that this research provides into what skills my child is working on are fasci

The app itself is really cool! I like the calendar format for seeing the information, however I thought the app would involve some tips and tricks for dealing with difficult times. The app is really just the same as the website, which is free..

I have a 2.5 year old and am due with my second in less than 30 days. I wanted an app where I could check up on both children. This was recommended in a local Facebook group. Love the look of it, however iy keeps force closing on me. Not allowing me to upload pictures for each child. And when I close out and go back in to try again. It never loads or glitches out and closes on me! Also happened while I was trying to make the children’s profile! Hope they get fixed so I can use this app religious

I periodically check the website when I feel my toddler (…and myself) are having some growing pains. It definitely puts my mind at ease to know it is all perfectly normal and healthy. I went to the site today and saw they had an app! I bought the app immediately and love it even more since it gives you day to week tracking of where your child’s at. Apps are just much more convenient also.

While I thought I had things pretty dialed in as a 4th time mom this app has been so enlightening and helpful. Very timely and helpful information that helps navigate my toddlers growth and behaviors with extra grace and understanding.

I love this app! I had followed my sons child development milestones and sleep patterns/behaviors very closely as an infant. This app along with Amber Dombrowzki’s accompanying books have been such an invaluable help as my son continues to grow. His behavior development patterns very closely follow her research. It has helped me make the most of these often frustrating developmentally emotional growth spurts. This app will help you develop much more insight, understanding and patience.

I was so happy when a friend referred me to this series. I loved “The Wonder Weeks” book since my son was an infant so I was happy to find this when he aged out of their research/work. Always amazed at how accurate it is when checking what’s going on with my 4 year old. Thanks for the work you do!!

So helpful for my 3 year old! Excited to use it when my youngest is of age!

There’s so much about being a parent that is unknown. There was a lot that I didn’t understand about my children’s behavior until I started reading content from The Observant Mom. It helps to know areas where my kids need extra support and ways I can help facilitate their growth in different areas. Honestly, this app has helped a lot with taking away anxiety about different developmental phases. I’m grateful! If you’re a parent, caregiver, childcare worker, or interact with young kids regularly

Friend recommended this app, after playing with it I don’t believe that every child or should I say my child has only 2 main stages- especially as their navigating such emotionally charged seasons. Emotions range and having to only select from the windows and not when the EDD range notes the periods is unrealistic when I’m paying to put information and emotions my child is going through. Will be uninstalling after a week of navigating the app. Disappointed but so glad it works for my friend and
