It was cool at first cause you can compare against other stores. But the urls are messed up so when you try to share your registry you end up sending someone else's. I tried to make a new registry and link the old one and it couldn't be done automatically so one of their representatives had to go in and manually add everything. They ended up adding someone else's stuff to it and none of my original items transfered. I would stick to Amazon if you want a better experience. So far so good for me.

I don't recommend!! There shouldn't be a "reserved" function, as it is useless because there is a "purchased" function. Reserved takes it off the registry so no one else can purchase it. There needs to be a reminder for people to mark the items they purchased and where they were purchased from. Returns were a nightmare and the app doesn't have a lot of the useful functions that a browser does, which made things very inconvenient.

It's not about the free box! Registry it self is wonderful and convenient. It allows me to add items from many different sites and makes it really easy to keep track of what items have been purchased. I also love the gift tracking feature. All in all a great app. If you actually care about the functionality of the site & not the amount of items or requirements to receive the FREE box 🤣

I love this! It gives great suggestions, it's super easy to search for products, and there are so many options to look on other websites or previous lists with other stores. My favorite feature is once you save an item from one source on the buyers end it shows not only the price from the website you saved from but it compares with several others that it finds, and you don't even need to search it!

A really good tool except for the number of crashes. Also, even though it says you can, don't try to rename or rearrange the categories as it will break your list and you will have to start over. Do not add recommendations that come up after you add an item either as sometimes they will simply disappear yet still add to the number of items on your list. As long as you keep these things in mind (much fewer bugs than there used to be, mind you) you will really enjoy this tool.

Overall I like this app. I like that baby shower guests can see all products and can filter by store and price. I like that the categories are simple (make sure you include the category every time you add an item!). Guests seemed to be able to find it easily though a few had small issues. I did get a few doubles of things. Also some things were marked "reserved" but I never received them so not sure what happened there.

I absolutely LOVE the flexibility of this app, it is an excellent extension of the Babylist website with nearly all of the same useful features and benefits. The whole concept of Babylist and the application of that concept is superb! One suggestion for the developer: can you make a simpler way (other than including notes) for an either-or feature? (For example, I want people to choose either one, specific, structured baby carrier or another, not both.)

Babylist is awesome--I love the service and I'm so glad I used it to build my registry. Only 4 stars bc the app itself has given me soooo many issues. Some days it works perfectly but more and more frequently it refuses to open, freezes, or refuses to log in (will show the loading circle briefly and then disappear). There have been days when I've had to uninstall and reinstall it every time I want to open the app and sometimes even this little trick doesn't work. Super annoying.

Babylist has been an excellent way to compile all those different registries into one, easy to access place. My few complaints: when I add things from other sites I have to manually sort them into categories, otherwise it all just ends up a jumbled mess under general. Second, it can be a little difficult to navigate for the older people in my family (I've had to "reserve" gifts because they couldn't figure out how to tell it they had bought it.) Honestly though, these are such small complaints!

Easy and efficient. I love that everything lists with multiple shopping stores. The downside is adding a link yourself is limited. I should be able to add multiple links and associate the store with the link properly. The app also doesn't combine duplicates. An option to match them up or remove one. Sorting and organizing can be hard if the section has a lot of items like clothes. It's drag up/down. I wish I could just add a number for the place on the list. An export file would be great also.

I appreciate the ease of using this app to keep just one registry with the ability to add from virtually any website. Love the "add to babylist" button I was given to add to my computer browser. Easy, simple, and straightforward. The ability to make a gift givable by multiple people is great in theory, but when I tried to do so it changed the price from the one shown to a higher price. So it's more expensive to partner and give together? Wont be using that feature. Love the rest of the app.

The registry concept is great. The app itself is garbage. Constantly freezing, crashing and having "connection issues". This significantly slows down and further complicates the already complicated & tedious task of searching through hundreds of products across multiple online retailers, reading product reviews, and selecting-labeling-and categorizing every single registry product. Please fix the apps many glitches to help remove (not add!) stress from already stressed out mothers-to-be.

Absolutely love this website and App. You can make registries all over the internet and combine them with Babylist, as well as include products from Babylist itself. It shows your guests price comparisons from different websites, so they can get the best deal. On the browser, it's possible to add a babylist button to the bookmarks bar, so you can quickly and easily add items to the registry from all over the internet. I don't have a single complaint about this app, it's so user friendly.

I am obsessed with this app! Downloaded it wayyyyy early in my pregnancy because I wanted to start working on my registry, and I'm so thankful I did! I love that everything is in one place and displays the prices from each different store. I've been able to easily adjust, add, and remove items. Just a suggestion: it would be nice if I could hide or remove articles or photos in my "feed" that I don't like or need. But no real complaints!

Edit: The 2nd bug fix worked! I used this app for my first pregnancy and loved it. I love that I can organize and specify everything (hello other super nesters). Giving people options on where they want to buy & showing the price difference is amazing. I like not being held down to one platform. Two disappointing things: One, unlike almost all other registries, you don't get a box or anything. Just a coupon. Two, if you buy direct from them, they're crazy expensive compared to other retailers.

I had tried setting up registries on different sites and tried finding the easiest way to showcase what we needed/wanted, where it was available, price, everything, but that proved surprisingly difficult until I came across babylist! I could kind of rank things, label the most essential must have items, and what I love best is it shows you where you can buy and how much it costs. Instant comparison. So easy for family and friends so they can knock it out quickly! Such a blessing!

You can literally add stuff from ANY website. Walmart, wish, target, Amazon, etc. It is not just strictly for online stores. They allow people to be able to group together to contribute to a high priced item or they can separately buy the item in full. They also don't share your address with the person purchasing the item for you, but they do tell you who sent what, so you can send Thank You cards. They allow an option to have people send second-hand clothes to you as well, instead of spending money and many other amazing options. Best app ever.

It's a great app, but I do see one problem. I keep trying to check things off, and when I go back to the big check list, it doesn't save that I've checked them off. For example, I added a travel crib but it didn't check off. I try to do it myself, but it always says 6/7 travel items. It never saves that I have the travel crib checked off. It's not just that, it does it for health and safety items as well. However, I love it. It gives updates on your pregnancy and info on what you experience.

Gimmicky, returned items and you get a code to apply to your next babylist order only when you chat in and check on those items. When you place an order through babylist it takes 2 weeks to ship. My son has arrived already still waiting on items. Overall I much rather set up to separate registry from Target and Amazon and have friends and family to purchase from there.

I love this app! Everything is all in one place and it is so convenient to go to from shopping whichever store you want to registry - all in one app. You can organize your registry into multiple categories, and it is a very smooth experience! I like that you can customize it and leave notes for friends and family, and also mark things as "must need." Sometimes, there is a slight lag, but it's not a problem to just reboot the app and it's good to go! Definitely a must have!
