The app needs a way to recognize when the same item is added more than once on the registry, as well as offer sorting items from low price to high price. When trying to go through, the app kept refreshing and was frustrating. The app could use some updates. Also, not everyone purchases the items online. Some buy in store but use the registry as a guide. Doesn't help when there's no option to say an item was purchased in store.
Reviews for Babylist Baby Registry
Too expensive, not user friendly, has hidden fees. Everything on this app's store can be found for way less on Amazon. They advertise free cards which you will be charged for upon arrival. The baby box is free and they tell you about shipping, but the cards came and I had to pay for them. I asked for my money back and now have a credit to my account which I cannot apply to the baby box, I have to buy something even more expensive from their store. It doesn't make sense. Stick to Amazon.
It may be a good site to register, but don't register small items. It's set up for them to make their money on larger items. If someone wants to buy a bunch of small items, Registering it as "purchased" is awful. For every item you buy, you have to go through a 5-step process to mark it off as purchased. This definitely discourages people to buy a bunch of low cost items on the list so you might was well not even list them.
Do NOT use Babylist for a registry. They only do "free returns" if the box is unopened. They delay shipments for WEEKS and don't give you an update. Completion discount didn't apply to an item that was eligible for the discount on Amazon. We had people donate to a fund on Babylist and I wish we hadn't, now we can't get anything because they're going through a "warehouse move" and can't predict when they can ship anything out.
This registry is great. One stop shop! I love that when you add an item it shows stores and prices where the item can be found. So much good stuff on here! Edit: not sure why but its like once a week or once every other week there is an update for the app through the app. Im confused on why we have to continue to update the app so much. I dropped it one star because of this.
Love that you can put different stores on here and that there are so many different items to pick from. It would just be nice if more stores were added and if there was a general notification when an item wasn't available. I tried reserving several things for a friend only to find out they were all out of stock and it was a bit of a pain. Other than that this app is wonderful!
It's a nice app, the only app-specific thing I don't like is that I can't read articles or see the sample registries unless I'm on the desktop version. I wish I wasn't required to have a quantity for certain things (such as baby wipes), and I wish I could use PayPal instead of an account and routing number for the diaper fund. Both of those have more to do with the company itself than the app though.
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!
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.
I wish I never used this app/website. Baby shower guests complained how difficult it was to use. When they walked into the target, my registry didn't exist. Also, the registry does not sync with amazon (or Target or others). Exchanges and returns have been nearly impossible because Target, Amazon and any other retailer doesn't even know that this item was purchased for me. Can't talk to anybody on the phone so their support is not good either. Better off just registering with individual stores.
