Moms On Call Scheduler Positive Reviews
Helpful for those newborn days!I’m not sure why the app has such bad reviews. I’ve got both the books & app and I love having the app to access the baby’s schedule quickly. I’m sure it’ll be even more helpful with two babes to keep an eye on the schedule. I can quickly reference it and write down sleep, feed times for babysitters, daycare, etc. I do tend to memorize it quickly, but not in those early sleep deprivation days— thanks Moms on Call. So grateful to have a well-rested baby😊.Gar6523Version: 2.6
Prefer older app version and previous book editionThis app is great for getting started but I prefer the original app. The older version (book and app) offered different schedule options for each stage which was SUPER helpful for our family. Offering only one schedule doesn’t seem to be very realistic, even if the other options aren’t drastically different. The customizing feature is nice, but doesn’t really offer the guidance like the other app or book used to..FitWorkMomLifeVersion: 2.6
A tired momma's blessing!As a new mom and a frequently exhausted brain, the app was so helpful! The notifications kept me and my little one on schedule without having to chase down where I left my book last and find the correct schedule page! Thanks MOC, you've taken the guessing out of being a parent and made me feel so confident as a new mom!.Easy Charge Capture!Version: 2.6
Great Compliment to the BookThe books will help flesh out why some part of the schedule may not be working. We started using the app around 4 weeks and our now 2+ year old is still following the schedule. She has been sleeping through the night since 4 months..DenetamiVersion: 2.6
Minimally usefulThis is a very basic app. I agree with previous reviews- if you have the books you don’t need this app. The books provide significantly more useful info. The only reason why I use this app is because I have multiple children and it is nice to have their schedules side by side. I know I could just write the schedules down, but I don’t need more to physically keep track of. This app helps that..Jhallman18Version: 2.6
It Works and is Worth Every PennyAs a first time mom, I met the authors of the Moms on Call series at a baby expo in Alpharetta, GA. I purchased the book series and read the first book and have been hooked ever since!
That being said a few things I would recommend:
1. Buy the books. All of them.
2. Only after you’ve read at a minimum the first MOC book for ages 0-6 months, I would use the app.
This app while simple is a great way to stay on schedule but is not (and I don’t believe it was ever intended to be) a substitute for the book. It’s the perfect compliment. As your baby grows, the schedule adjusts and I swear by it.
Less is always best..Chan'sMummy2020Version: 2.6
LOVEMoms on call is everything!! I have a 7 week old and he’s slept through the night the last two nights!
The Instagram page is so helpful, they have answered any questions I have had about the app.
Definitely recommend!! If you don’t use moms on call you’re missing out!.RlgillandVersion: 2.6
Love Moms on Call scheduler!I absolutely love the Mom’s on Call scheduler. It spells out so easily how to help your babes have the best days. It gives moms peace of mind having “a plan” at the touch of an app. I used the app with my first babe and now that I have a second babe, it’s so cool to see their schedules next to each other. Every mom should utilize this app!.HeatherBPetryVersion: 2.6
Fantastic SchedulerThis works so well! Stick to it and be strict with it and you’ll have an incredible sleeper!.HollyBJulianVersion: 2.6
It’s Not Horrible - could be betterI read the reviews and was super skeptical about buying this app. Most reviews said it was non-customizable. I have the 0-6mo book and it states in the book that options are available for different schedules in the app so I wanted to see for myself and just paid the $3.99. I am happy to say you definitely CAN customize a schedule based on your life - i.e. changing feeding times and nap times etc. to accommodate work schedules and stuff. But that is literally all it can do. But in my opinion, if you have the book, or know the basis of the schedule that moms on call uses, you don’t need this app at all. Just write it down yourself what schedule you want to use. The downfall with this app is mostly the fact that you cannot actually keep track of what your baby is actually doing that day. The app Baby Tracker is phenomenal with tracking the times your baby is actually eating and sleeping but lacks the recommended schedule section that MOC has. In my opinion, MOC Schedule app NEEDS to add a way to track your baby’s eating and sleeping to be able to compare it to what they SHOULD be doing. This would greatly benefit the subscribers and make the app so much better. So in conclusion, this app is not worth the money..Nelly19283765184Version: 2.4
GREAT FOR IT’S PURPOSEI download this app mainly because I read the Moms on Call book and like to do thing in their fullness so I wanted to see what it was about and how it could help. For having an easy to view schedule that gives you notifications and small details about each task, I think it does good job! As mentioned by others, being able to log what your child actually did that day (ie., time they went to sleep, where they slept [car seat, crib, etc.], when and what they ate, when they woke up, etc.) would be incredibly useful!! But for the app’s current intention, it works very well. I am so thankful for Moms on Call!.BethPaige12Version: 2.4
Basic but EasyI did not read the book but I bought it. I used this ap for my 2nd baby which was 4 years after having my first. While it isn’t a step by step how to it gave me the basics; When to do when and for how long. I also found this schedule to naturally work for my baby. I wasn’t waking her up when she was sleeping and It felt very natural. It just worked. It just was a reminder of what she needed when and why she was crying. I’ve recommended it to all my new moms out there. She has been an awesome 7-7 sleeper for a long time. Total victory.GAinFLAVersion: 2.4
Very helpful, but has so much more potential.I love this app! I have the books, but new mama brain set in and I could hardly remember what I had read so the app helped me on a daily basis know the basics. However, this app has so much more potential to be a mama’s lifesaver - I found us using this plus a daily baby tracker but would LOVE it if tracking capabilities lived in this app itself. The ability to check off feedings, add notes “3 oz formula”, check off diaper changes w notes, with naps ability to type in “only slept 75 min”, etc and share it with people so if they’re caring for baby they can use it too..SvjordanVersion: 2.4
Please add option to choose your start timeI like the concept of this, but you should be able to choose your "start" and "end" times according to what fits your family. I want to use the format but start at 7:30, etc.
Yes, I can adjust in my head but it's nice if the app and alerts followed--the reason people are willing pay $3.99! And print/share with other people..TenleyJVersion: 2.0
Great if you don’t have book and want abridged versionSuper basic application that does send reminders and has the same information as you’ll find in the book. My friend had moms on call out but I did not - however I downloaded the app and I am applying the same principals and it’s working beautifully. I think this is a good choice for those that can’t necessarily afford the full program or just want a simple schedule to remind them of feeding times..Savethepandas123Version: 2.1
Very helpfulThis app has worked really well for us! It gave me a goal to shoot for when my baby was young and helped me know when to progress and modify his schedule as he got older. Loved that early on the entire daytime schedule is geared towards preparing baby sleeping through the night. Also liked I can print and share schedules with others. Great feature!.AParker0000Version: 2.4

Moms On Call Scheduler Negative Reviews
Just get the bookThe schedule has helped us a lot, but I wound up buying the book for troubleshooting and additional information- the app is sparse. Honestly, the app is not worth purchasing, you can find the schedule from the book or online, screenshot it, and have basically the same function on your phone.
We had to adjust our baby to a 6-to-6 schedule for our work, and the ‘build your own schedule’ function on the app only allows for a pre-determined amount of feedings, naps, etc (which is probably smart!) however, it doesn’t allow you to drag the nap times out to 1.5 hours, or the sleep timer past 30 minutes, so the schedule looks all wrong when you customize it- even sticking to the exact same format only one hour earlier.
It would also be helpful to have some sort of tracking on this app so it could all be in one place- track diapers, breast feeding times, expressed/formula ounces, actual sleep times, etc..Heather from TXVersion: 2.6
Not InteractivePurchased at the recommendation of a friend so didn’t actually read the description prior to purchasing, totally my fault. However, this is literally just a visual schedule and not worth paying for since you cannot easily edit or add additional information like feeding amounts to track actual data for your baby. Like others have said, I am still using the Notes app to manually enter the feeding information - actual times and total feeding time/amounts (I am both breastfeeding and formula feeding at the moment). Would be nice to have an app that tracks everything, including diaper changes..Rnguyen84Version: 2.6
What exactly am I paying for??This app is really pretty useless. ALL it is is a schedule that updates every few weeks/months as your baby gets older. You can “customize” your schedule, but literally all that means is that you can build your own schedule. You have to figure out all the times yourself with no guidelines. I can do that more easily in Notes!
I also found more than a few typos which was really off-putting. It’s like no one put much time or thought into this app, and just decided to charge $4 for it. So ridiculous!
As for the Moms On Call program itself—I have friends who swear by it (which is why I bought the book and the app) but it didn’t work for me at all. It was so rigid, and I found it impossible to stick to, especially while breastfeeding. (Everyone I knew who had used it bottle-fed, which can be easier to schedule.) They also advise letting babies cry it out when they’re 3-4 months old. That’s SO little!!! I’ve found my daughter crying because she was unable to move herself away from a pile of spit up, and I would've felt terrible if I had just left her there face down in it all night!
I know this program works for some people, but I’m so not a fan. Babies are unique humans, and the rigidity of this program doesn’t allow for that and can cause a lot of anxiety in parents and babies alike.
Also the app is dumb 😕.Cfranklin14Version: 2.6
Not what I thoughtI never use apps that’s aren’t free but as a mom of a 10 week old, I thought this one would be worth paying for. I have the book and I have been keeping track of my baby’s timing through the day in my phone notes and on all kinds of papers around the house. I thought this app would allow me to type in when my son actually sleeps and feeds so I could be notified for when the next one begins but all it is is a list exactly like the book. I’m bummed to say this was a total waste of money since I already have the book..OmascaliVersion: 2.6
Can’t access contentI’d love to explore the app as I’m preparing for our new baby, but it blocks me from doing so right out of the gate. You can’t even access the app without putting in your child’s birthdate. If your child isn’t born yet, then tough luck! I’ve never seen an app block access to its core audience like that..DC924Version: 2.6
Just buy the bookThe app literally does nothing. You type your child’s name and birthdate and get access to the same info that is in the book. I thought this would be similar to the Huckleberry app that allows you to put in data (sleeping time, diapers, pumping, eating etc..) This app gives you an alarm clock which is on your phone for free. Don’t buy it, trust me. Even if you are struggling this is the app that will help you. The book though is great!.Barkers Mom 2643Version: 2.6
Scattered informationI spent $150+ to buy the online course bundle but the online courses are missing some information about how to handle middle of the night feedings that this app has. I’ve also heard the book has slightly more/different explanations. So they have a book, an app, and online courses for what is supposed to be the same content, but you really have to buy all three to get 100% of the information, which is ridiculous..Xsparkledust23xVersion: 2.6
Just a visualNot super helpful. Yes it is a visual of the schedule or multiple kids schedules. Yes you can see their recommended wake times and number of feeds. However, why can’t you set your own designated wake time (DWT) and then the rest of the schedule would adjust from there?!.MichelleTDVersion: 2.6
Don’t waste your moneyI know it’s only $4, but don’t waste your money on this! It doesn’t help any more than the book does for scheduling, if you’re using the book. I thought you could customize your schedule by changing the wake time, but you have to change the entire schedule yourself unless you are using the sample/preset schedule. It’s not even worth a free download!.Madams713Version: 2.6
I regret buying thisI just bought this and I already regret it. This should be free or maybe $1, not $4. It looks really out of date, it’s very sparse, and the schedule doesn’t match up with the one in the book. I don’t recommend this and I’m disappointed because it has the potential of being a great help like the books..TonichioVersion: 2.6
Not worth itThis would be better if you could edit it or even write in what time your baby did feed/nap to keep track of times, but this is not an option. You might as well use the book for take a picture of the schedule from the book..KarabagnallVersion: 2.6
Do not buy if you have bookIt’s the same as the book - I was hoping to be able to move things around as the day changed and it would re-time everything for me but it doesn’t have the functionality....PdwongVersion: 2.6
Ugh. Terribly unhelpfulSave the $4 bucks and snag the book. Offers absolutely no incremental value and the app is so basic, it doesn’t support any notes or adjustments to “routine” as I build into the MOC routine (since it doesn’t happen overnight, unfortunately). Recommend you pass on this....Ashef52Version: 2.6
EhhI like the idea of this app but it really needs to be improved because it’s not worth the money at this point. There needs to be an easier way to adjust the daily wake time without having to edit each individual part of the schedule. It automatically has 7am as wake up for my kids. They both wake at 8am and it’s extremely annoying that I can’t just bump the schedule to 8. My 2.5yo does not nap and I wish I could delete the nap from his schedule but it won’t let me. I have tried absolutely everything to keep his nap but it’s just not happening. Not all children need that nap at his age. It would be really nice to have a bit more freedom with the way schedules are displayed.
I also agree it would be nice if we could track feedings/sleep/ect in the app to compare.
This app is honestly not worth money and should be free at its current state..ElsburyfamVersion: 2.4
What’s its purpose?I have the same alarms set on my phone as the app has from the book. It says it has notifications but that’s not for all age ranges. I was hoping it had a bit more to offer but it’s actually got nothing and I wish I could get a refund..Hk's mamaVersion: 2.6
Not worth the moneyNo way to write notes or track anything in the app. It is literally just a picture of the moms on call schedule. Can’t believe I paid 3.99 for this. I can screenshot this schedule from online. I want my money back!.Apollo sk8rVersion: 2.6
Don’t waste your timeThe custom schedule section doesn’t have all options (why can’t I add playtime and snacks?!). This app should be more customizable. It’s pretty useless. Also, the notifications don’t work..NicolesztayVersion: 2.6
Waste of MoneyThis app is pointless. It is not interactive or helpful. You need to purchase the book in order for the app to make sense and the schedule is in the book which makes this app useless. If anything, it should be free..Oneill215Version: 2.6
TrashWhy did I pay $3.99 for this? It is so time consuming and not user friendly at all to do a customized schedule. I just need to love the schedule up 1-2 hour and it’s not even worth the trouble. Don’t waste your money..RdwilsVersion: 2.6
Not worth itSadly I bought this without even reading reviews from a fellow mother and the app does nothing at all and isn’t adjustable . Not even a little . Very basic app . Sad ..JMJones 9827Version: 2.6

Pathetic app.This app has absolutely no functions at all. Don’t waste your time..EhskapwoqkaVersion: 2.6
Joke of an appI had the old app which just basically had the schedules from the book and worked fine, but it wouldn’t update with iOS 11. I contacted the company and they wouldn’t refund or grant access to the new app, so I had to buy the new one (which feels like extortion). The new one has only one schedule option per age group (the old had 2), and it is not customizable, making it rather pointless to set reminders unless you are following the precise schedule. Kinda hard when I was following the second option for one of the schedules, which isn’t even available here. Moms on Call should have automatically updated their old customers and maybe I wouldn’t be so frustrated with how bad this app is. With the crazy amount of money they make, they need to hire a decent developer and make a worthwhile app. It should have all the options that are in the book as a starting point, allow you to customize, and even allow you to import into your calendar..ATLDLVersion: 2.1
Not worth itI had purchased this app 3 years ago with my first child. Absolutely loved it because of how thorough it was explaining the daily routine. Well, for some reason it never saved in my ICloud so I had to purchase a Again. Everything has changed from original app, for the most part. This new version is not as informative and constantly tells you to refer to their book. Maybe I should of just bought the book, probably would of gotten a lot more information and use out of it. Disappointed in the app compared to the one I had 3 years ago. I don’t recommend the app, but the book seems to be a better choice from the constant “refer to this” in the app for more details..Waters18.18Version: 2.1
Old version was LIFEThe old version of this app was MY LIFE with my first baby in Oct of 2014. Those hazey scrambled first days could be sorted for me and it helped me calm down and keep a decent routine when I thought I couldn’t get it together! Now 6 weeks out from my second baby I went to redownload and there is an updated version. While, I understand keeping things fresh and updating is necessary in this ever changing world, this was not the app to mess with. Your previous version was simple and straight to the point and the tips under each time were exactly what was needed. Now it’s all over the place. And crashes often and I paid for it again to find this out. Please go back to your old app!!! Or make it available!! MAMA NEED 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.HelloangiecoleVersion: 2.4
UselessI thought that for $3.99 there would be some level of customization here, but beyond choosing your kids' ages it's a set schedule, which you can find in the book or online. What would be super useful to me is if I could tweak the schedule to reflect my life with two kids since the reality is the baby's schedule will have to fit around his brother's. In an ideal world, I would be able to plug in my older son's schedule - including things like school drop off, etc - and the app would help create an ideal schedule for the baby around that. But even just being able to make manual changes would be a big improvement. Don't waste your money on this app.KmartsVersion: 2.0
Waste of money!This app is a complete waste of money! There’s one set schedule with no extra added tips or advice. No help with food options, no help with getting your child to sleep through the night. Any questions you may have they direct to their book which is not included in this purchase. It’s a separate purchase for another fee of course. I think I paid $4 for this app, which is pricey for an app but I thought it would help. Nope! Waste of money & time even looking at it! They should be ashamed of themselves robbing moms of their money!.AshLo813Version: 2.4
Do not spend money on this appThis app would be great if you have the perfect baby who operates on the exact same schedule every day. If you don’t, it’s not useful at all. Babies are inherently unpredictable and they don’t always wake up at 7, want to eat at their prescribed times, and nap for exactly 2 hours just when you want them to. Not to mention, not many moms spend their entire days at home without running errands or going to appointments that inevitably move around the nap and eating schedule. Good idea in theory, poorly executed..Sarah990345Version: 2.4
Waste of money just tells you to read the bookDO NOT BUY!!!!!!
Update - now this app won’t even open past the first page with the latest operating system update.
I bought this all because I thought it’d be helpful to have on the go instead of buying the book. Turns out this is just a schedule and any time you click to see more info it refers you to the book! This is a complete waste of money, they have a lot of nerve charging for this!!!.MsmelissaaVersion: 2.4
