Babyname

I keep getting the same names repeated. You can't select names from a list and have to swipe left or right. This makes it physically tiring. After swiping around 20-30 names quickly to the left I skip a name I liked before I realized it. I wish they had more filter options such as Biblical names. Without warning you get blasted in full volume with a video of a ad that makes you pay to remove. The vast majority of names are obscure.

I love the premise of this app, but there seem to be some bugs causing the experience to be practically useless. I paid for the filters and just literally swiped through every Celtic name and none of them are showing on my "I like" list. 😒 That plus my partners "Matches" completely disappearing a few weeks ago has me looking for an alternative solution so I stop wasting my precious time preparing for my baby's arrival.

Used this 3 years ago for our first pregnancy and loved the customization options whichever we could really specify the themes you'd like to focus on for the baby names. Now that it's our second pregnancy, we are using the app again and see so many things lacking. There's a total lack of name category options so I'm wasting so much time weeding through culturally irrelevant names that I once did not have to experience.

Great idea in concept. Execution leaves a lot to be desired though. Ads aren't obnoxious, and can be removed for 99¢. Biggest issue is that out of the three times I've tried to use the app over multiple days, it's eventually frozen with an unknown error. Whether it's a server thing or bug, it needs to be fixed asap.

Very basic, which is good in some ways and bad in others. There is no way to know whether left or right is keep or discard until you swipe, so it's easy to make mistakes until you remember which is which. Plus the swipe function can get sticky and results in the name being swiped in the wrong direction with no ability to undo. The filters are limited, adding language, religion and regional filters would be useful. A way to search names and add them to your list would be useful.

This app does not perform any of its advertised functions. Despite having numerous overlapping names on our lists, the app will not recognize that my wife and I have any matches. We attempted to circumvent the failure by emailing our lists to one another, but the app truncates the list of names when you share it, so even then we can't compare. Don't waste your time with this worthless time sink.

I liked the app the first hour I had it, but then it stopped worling and I kept getting an error message that the server was down. It now pops up every single time I open the app, and the last time I opened the app I got the message, then it reset the app and brought me to the intro again. Very frustrating as I had already spent a good amount of time going through names. If it didn't have this issue I would have loved this app.

The concept is awesome and works well but the names aren't great, lots of off the wall stuff and repeats with different spelling. Dont pay for filters, you can only choose one at a time instead of several from a list so theyre not helpful. It keeps asking if i want to pay $2.99 for 5000 extra names but im afraid it wont add normal names, itll add the "hipster" and "celebrity" names that are listed as psid filter options which is dumb. Just use it for free, have fun, and look at other lists.

Makes you pay $0.99 to be able to undo a name selection, and then the app breaks completely once you pay. By breaks I mean nothing works at all, including functionality that worked before paying. The app just completely freezes and wont work even after restarting your phone. It also does not actually match up lists between you and your partner. Complete and utter garbage and false advertising. Even if it worked, it forces you to watch unskippable ads even if you have paid for features.

This app is great in theory and really easy to use! However the name choices aren't at all appealing. It doesnt allow you to pick any names from the top 10 or even the top 100! It's also annoying to have to pay for additional name lists or features when there are other similar apps out there that are completely free.

After hearing about the app, I thought it would be fun and a painless way to agree on a name. After 4 minutes or less of swiping I would say to stick to the old fashion way and baby name books. There were two commercials and 2 prompts to review the app within that short period of time as well as zero names worth swiping "yes". Although that is a matter of opinion, it started out with either incredibly weird names that literally no one has or would ever have or basics like James, Daniel etc.

Etymology is all over the map (pun fully intended as an insult). Either do the research or scrap the feature altogether. Requiring payment to unlock more names when the ones you have immediate access to are repetitive and made up is frustrating. Furthermore, 99¢ to undo incorrect swipes, and the limitation to the most recent name, is a devious practice. I would pay for a quality experience, but as it stands this app is misleading and misinformed.

This app would be amazing if you could edit your list of likes. When i first startes using it, i swiped the wrong way for a little bit so now i have names i dont like on my list. Also, you should be able to ad names for your partner to see as well. There are names i like that i havent seen come up on the app so it would be nice if you could add those.

This app is easy to use and looks pretty, but the paid options are not at all worthwhile. "Shake to Undo" was very buggy. Shaking hard or gently, up or down, left or right, it was hard to get it to undo. The name filters are poorly done. Say you want to filter by nationality and you want to see English and Irish names; you can only activate one at a time. Either English or Irish, but not both together.

Good concept, could use some work. The swipe right to like isn't sensitive enough so sometimes even if you try to swipe to like it the name will bounce left which is EXTREMELY frustrating. You can remove things from your liked list but you can't go back to see what names you didn't, it would be better if it erred on the side of liking too many than not enough.

Great idea, but my partner and I both downloaded it and it won't let us sync our profiles. We send the text or message invite to each other and we both get a "502 bad gateway" error. Not sure what's going on but if we can't link up it kind of defeats the purpose of the app. (My only guess is that I have an Android and he has an IPhone, but that would be pretty frustrating if that's whats causing the issue.)

Entirely too many ads; the $ .99 add on to let you "undo" a swipe is useless - you have to shake your phone for nearly 20 seconds. Most of the name choices are just different spellings of names you've already seen. It also drives me crazy that every 20 names or so, it asks me to rate their app. So here it is. This app is entirely too annoying, especially while pregnant.

Thx for app. Like the sharing. Very easy to use although for us the swiping seemed backwards we expected accept to be to left would be nice as option. Would be nice to undo 5 times before it is locked then to unlock more times show ad (unlocking is paid feature). Android ads with free version. More ads when I swipe quickly iPhone no ads yet. There are repeats of same spelling of names even after made choice. There's boys name included when choose girls names only but not a unisex name.

Bought so my wife and I can go through names and see what we like together at a rapid pace. Figured I don't want ads, so I spent the 0.99 to get rid of them, then 0.99 for the ability to go back Incase I misswiped. After about 50 or so names I get a card stating for 2.99 I can unlock an additional 5000 names and filters. This is absurd to have a free app and then start to nickle and dime the user for features that should've been included. Getting rid of ads is one thing, but come-on!

It's great! The meaning of the names is a great idea to put on there. I advice this app! :) All though, the swiping is a bit clunky, if you were lying in bed wanting to scroll through names, it would make your rust hurt. Also there is some of the girl and boy names mixed up into different sections, and some spelling mistakes! :(

The names are good names, but the ads are a little inappropriate. They had an advertisement for a grand theft auto style knock off app and my volume was up... everyone looked at the pregnant lady with violent noises coming from my phone. The matching feature is really nice. My only suggestion would be to be able to look up names and add them directly to your list.

Swipe is not intuitive Should include an easy access list of names that have been swiped Right Should show the name or email of Matching Partner (right now we have to just trust we're matched, there's no way to verify without unmatching, losing our match list, and rematching) Would like a Redo or Undo button.

Awesome concept, poor execution. The app glitches sometimes and swipes left when you swipe right. I finally found out how to undo a left swipe, but you can only undo the most recent one and they charge you actual money for it. HAHAHA no fricking way. I immediately deleted it. I might try to download again and see if it resets, but if it doesn't, I'm officially done with this app.
