Outstandingly clean and reliable app for clinicians who just need a point assessment of a patient's growth. As other reviews have stated though, probably not the best for anyone wanting to track their child's growth over time and see trends.

3 ★, on 2019-10-07
Reliable but with some problems. The app is very reliable and easy to use but it has a lot of shortcomings. Basically the fact that it does not show the measurements on a chart and that it does not allow you to store multiple measurements of multiple patients. It also seems like the development has stopped since it was last updated in 2017.

This app has a lot of negative reviews as it doesn't store data or create a growth chart. These negative reviews are unfair as the description clearly states "Calculate one-off growth centiles for children using UK-WHO data from the RCPCH." As a health visitor I use this app to calculate ONE OFF growth centiles before plotting it in the "red book" or documenting it in the patient record. It's especially good if there are any concerns about infant growth as it gives the centiles range and the exact centile, so small changes can be seen. It also gives the age in days and gestational age. It could be improved by the addition of the age in weeks too.

reliable app. I use it regularly in an outpatient setting.

Practical and easy to use. It would be nice if it can produce charts.

Edit after 2 years: Still defunct as it was before with no ability to plot or save data. Can't believe its still the only UK chart based app on Play Store. I am a doctor as well as a parent. I don't see the point of this app. Its not a growth 'chart' at all. You can't plot any trend as you do on an actual growth chart. You can't save any data for your child. All you get is a single figure which means nothing on its own. Other apps give you a trend and create a plot/graph but unfortunately none are based on the UK growth chart.

About this app

Growth Charts UK-WHO uses UK-specific growth chart data to help paediatricians and health professionals calculate weight, length, head circumference and BMI growth centiles for babies, infants and children. This app performs one-off calculations and does not store historical data.

Growth centile calculations are often prone to error with paper charts, and this app aims to make this process quicker and more reliable.

Data used in this app has been provided by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), and is a combination of the Neonatal and Infant Close Monitoring Growth Chart (NICM), the UK WHO 0-4 years growth chart, and the RCPCH UK Growth chart (2-18).

New features

Faster and slicker interface. Lots of bug fixes and improvements.
Major changes:
- Added BMI centile calculator.
- Added head circumference centiles > 2 years old.
- Graphing is now plotted on a z-score scale (rather than probability), so that centile lines at the extremities are equally spaced out.
- Now displays both z-scores and centiles for the research people out there.
- Age is now also displayed in weeks until 1 year of age (to make it easier to plot on Red Book paper growth charts).
