Pediatric Growth Charts by Boston Children's Hospital

Medical

Features & Capabilities

Whether you are a parent caring for your own child or a pediatrician, this growth charts app is for you! It allows you to track childrens' growth over time and display the data points on any of the included WHO and CDC growth charts. You can track height, weight, head circumference and BMI and determine the corresponding percentiles.

There is also a percentile calculator for quick percentile lookup in case you just want to know the percentile of today's measurements.

Data Storage

You can add as many children and measurements to the built-in database as you like. The data is encrypted – if you have a passcode on your device – meaning it is secure should you lose the device.

Sharing

The measurements are directly added to the growth chart PDFs. You can email these PDFs, print them out (if you have an AirPrint enabled printer nearby) or share them with other means provided by iOS, such as storing into your Dropbox or box.com. You can do the same with a spreadsheet file containing all this kids on your device, or one file per kid. Finally, there is an export option so you can transfer all your data to a different device of yours or a colleague.

Units

Whether you're used to the metric system and have all data available in centimeter and kilogram or whether you're in the US and using imperial units, Charts has got you covered. You can switch the units you want to use right from the keyboard and these units will be saved as your preferred units. You can also change units from a dedicated list when viewing your child's measurements.

Included Charts

The app currently includes 40 official growth charts from these institutions:

• World Health Organization (WHO) -- 0 - 24 months (weight, length, head circumference and weight for length) -- 2 - 5 years (weight, height and weight for height) -- 5 - 10 years (weight) -- 5 - 19 years (height and BMI)

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) -- 0 - 36 months (weight, height, head circumference and weight for length) -- 2 - 20 years (weight, height, BMI and weight for height)

Requirements

To run this app you will need a device running iOS version 7.0 or newer.

User Reviews

The app is easy to use, free, and plots growth on CDC/WHO charts for multiple children, with handy backup/export features. However, reviews cite a lack of updates, data-saving reliability issues, crashes, and charts that don’t handle very tall or special-needs cases, plus missing Z-scores/growth velocity and no cross-device syncing.
Pros
  • Easy to use and supports tracking multiple children.
  • Free and ad-free; does what you need.
  • Plots growth on CDC/WHO charts with percentiles.
  • Profile photos per child and backup/export options across devices.
  • Useful for both parents and clinicians (e.g., car-seat planning).
Cons
  • Not updated for a long time / seems unmaintained.
  • Data saving issues and data loss (doesn’t save points, data lost on device switch, backups unreliable).
  • Crashes / unresponsive behavior (save button not working).
  • Charts don’t handle out-of-range or very tall children; missing special-needs charts.
  • Lacks cross-device syncing and some advanced metrics (Z-scores, growth velocity).

It’s a great app unfortunately they didn’t update it for a long time.

I loved the app when my kids were babies to see their growth and know if they were on the charts for weight. However my husband and I are tall (he’s 6’9, I’m 6’0) and our kids have been >99% since they were 1yo. This was funny at first cause you know we’re tall but now that they’re 7yo and 8yo and finicky eaters I am watching them a little closer and to have their height and weight not correlating is annoying. They’re totally off the charts for bmi height and weight. I mean like the dots are in the title on some of the charts. So there should be some consideration given for kids who are taller than the average.
