Daddyo is an app whose developer, after enduring the challenges of first-time fatherhood, recognized the need for a mobile app educating young and first-time dads about late pregnancy and the first 6 months of their baby's life. The app is designed to educate and support dads in a voice they can relate to, and in ways that pregnancy books etc. simply can't match.
Daddyo holds dads' hands from the first trimester until their baby's six-month birthday. As the days, weeks and months go by, dads can manually adjust the app's timeline to get info pertaining to their stage of fatherhood.
The app also helps men get access to 'pro tips' from dads who've been there and done that.
One of the most useful features of the app is its suite of illustrations that breaks down potentially complicated and confidence-sapping tasks such as bathing your baby and changing its diapers.
