The makers of the app claim that it is “accurate 96% of the time” in interpreting “the five baby cries universal to all babies, regardless of culture or language; hungry, sleepy, stressed, annoyed and bored.” I don’t have a baby nearby, nor did I manage to make anyone cry long enough to test the app, but I sincerely doubt the statistic. I really hope no one makes any serious child-raising decisions based on the $13 iPhone app (promo price until November 11). Then again, with some people it might actually improve their parenting.
