You can log that baby ate, but it has no tools for tracking allergic reactions with severity scores, no symptom type picker, no allergen introduction schedule, and no Food Status Board that categorizes foods by safety level. Baby Allergy Tracker was built from the ground up for food allergy management: log 10 symptom types, assign severity, attach reaction photos, track allergen introductions with reminders, and see your Food Status Board at a glance. ## Cost Baby Allergy Tracker has a generous free tier: complete food diary with photos and enjoyment ratings, reaction log with 10 symptom types and severity scoring, Food Status Board, and support for all 14 major allergens for one child. Premium adds the allergen introduction schedule, all three PDF report types, multiple children, and caregiver sync for $2.99/month or $24.99/year. Baby Connect requires a paid subscription ($4.99/month) with no free tier beyond a limited trial. ## PDF reports for doctors, daycare, and caregivers Baby Allergy Tracker Premium generates three types of reports: a full paediatrician report (food timeline, reaction details, allergen progress), a caregiver alert sheet (red-highlighted DO NOT EAT list for daycare, grandparents, or nannies), and a caregiver approved foods sheet (cleared allergens and tolerated foods). Free users get unlimited watermarked taster PDFs to preview. Baby Connect can export raw data but does not produce formatted, purpose-built reports for allergy management. ## Data privacy Baby Allergy Tracker stores all data on your device by default. No account is required, there are no sync servers holding child data, and there are no behavioural analytics. Optional caregiver sync uses encrypted storage in your own Google Drive account — Baby Allergy Tracker never sees your data. Baby Connect stores your data on their servers for multi-device sync, which is convenient but means your child's feeding and activity data lives on a third-party server. --- [Download Baby Allergy Tracker](https://apps.apple.com/au/app/baby-allergy-food-tracker/id1445346223)
