Hello Belly: Pregnancy Tracker for Negative User Reviews
✓ Waste of money!!Don’t waste $20 on this app. No information is given that can’t be found on free apps. I really wish I didn’t spend $20 on this app. AND like everyone is saying in the reviews, it says I’m a week later than I am. I purchased it because of the screenshot of the “in the womb” visuals- looked super cool to me! Do yourself a favor and just look at the screenshot of it instead of paying $20 for it!!! It’s the saaaame thing! No other info is offered in the app. Save your money and get a different app..Version: 1.13.16
✓ Confused ?!Downloaded app, clicked three day free trial, submitted my consent to the pay monthly (incase you decide to continue or you can cancel) but then I can’t actually use the app? It’s stuck on that screen in the app???.Version: 1.3.15
✓ DisappointedWould be better if it was a free app.Version: 2.1.7
✓ Nothing on itNot free and now I’ve got to find a way to cancel! It’s useless nothing on it!.Version: 1.13.18
✓ PoorI have been to the doctor had a few apts. I am clear on my schedule. This app if you have the dates correct your weeks are incorrect. If your weeks are correct then dates are incorrect..Version: 1.3.13
✓ Not workingWould probably be great but it doesnt load when you select 3D baby :(.Version: 2.1.6
✓ Not goodToo expensive.Version: 1.3.12
✓ Lots of room for improvementThis app looks the goods but it has a lot of room for improvement. For example in the eat section, I was envisaging an extensive list of foods. This aspect is very beginner level and not in depth at all. Lots of room for expansion and really delving in to the topics, instead of just skimming the surface. This app has the potential and for such a huge cost I expect more. I hope they improve it during my pregnancy so I can get more out of it..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Not worth the moneyAwkwardly-worded (badly translated?) and subjective articles. Can’t get it to show the week that I’m actually on. Meditation suggested I tell my baby I’m going to go buy things for them. Yoga is not substantial. Food list is useless. Why am I getting notifications for dads? Nothing here you can’t find easily for free..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Not workingI’m not sure if I am the only one experiencing this problem. When I first downloaded the app it would just shut down before letting me buy it. Now that I paid only the daily tips work.. how can I solve this? I think I would really enjoy the app if I got the full use..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Surprise subscription chargeI was charged $60 for an annual subscription that I did not agree to. I was never even prompted with a question about subscribing and I certainly would never sign up for a yearly subscription. I sent an email requesting a cancellation and refund so if they respond and take care of the issue, I may change my review, but this is ridiculous and the first time I’ve ever been hit with an unforeseen charge after downloading an app..Version: 1.4.10
✓ WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.I downloaded this app and paid for a year and it has not worked yet!! I have been emailing the company every day and have gotten no response at all. I’m extremely annoyed that this company took my money but can’t even respond to an email, let alone make the app work or give me my money back..Version: 1.4.10
✓ Not very usefulI loved the graphics and “look” of this app but I really didn’t find it very useful. It’s also quite expensive and I really don’t know why, comparing it to other apps that offer the same things. I wouldn’t recommend..Version: 1.4.6
✓ False AdvertisingYou can download for free, but then cannot where’d any part of the app without spending at least £5.99 a week..Version: 1.4.12
✓ App designed for one demographicDo not recommend for anyone who has struggled with an eating disorder: at least two of the daily reads each week are focused on not “eating too much.” Maybe helpful for a lot of people but triggering for those who have a difficult relationship with food. App also assumes a heteronormative relationship with a present father in its art and articles, so if that’s not your experience it isn’t going to feel inclusive. On a positive note, the fetal art and visualizations are gorgeous and the cartoons accompanying the articles are very cute..Version: 2.1.0
✓ It’s 2019Lol are you kidding me? This is just for white people? There’s no option for images that look like any other people than white?.Version: 1.4.8
✓ Purchased this app but no additional content appears???Crap.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Can't change the due dateCan't change the due date.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Just OKI liked the splash of humor here and there but couldn’t get pass the numerous grammatical issues and spelling errors, the fact that I cannot change the due date (it continues to default back to what I had originally recorded), and that constantly spinning baby in the upper left hand corner made me nauseous every time I opened the app..Version: 2.0.9
✓ LilyHello, I paid but I don't using the application. I send a email. I living same problems every weeks. Can you fixed in the app please?.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Unable to use programEvery time I go to set the obstetric week it appears to load, and then pops up with an "Oops, something went wrong..." error message. The advert looks great and the app looks beautifully designed, but none of that is any good if it doesn't work. Have deleted and redownloaded and still getting the same issue..Version: 1.0.2
✓ App doesn’t change pregnancy week.For some reason the app has been on week 6 for three weeks now. I’ve tried to reset it a few times but I won’t work. What makes it extra frustrating is that accidentally purchased the pro account and it still doesn’t work properly..Version: 1.13.18
✓ No better than the free appsThe information on this was no better than the free apps and I would say on the whole this app was less useful. I also have no idea how to cancel it. I need to cancel this now as I’ve had my baby. Can someone let me know how to cancel this?!?!.Version: 1.4.10
✓ Refers to your baby as a “germ”Some of the information provided in this app is very helpful and cute but I just couldn’t get past its need to refer to my growing child as a germ. I also don’t like that you can’t look ahead to the coming weeks to see what will be happening with your little babe. I found some of the little weekly posts offensive. Also there are apps that provide more tangible information for much less..Version: 1.4.9
✓ £28.99!!! WHAT?Downloading the app is free... But to ACTUALLY use the app you have to pay either £28.99 ‘no sub’ fee or £9.99 for usage of all apps! Piss off. I’ll stick to Ovia Pregnancy thanks which is FREE, NO ADS and gives you helpful tips, advice, pregnancy tracker and an anonymous ‘social media’ of mums! NO THANK YOU!.Version: 1.4.7
✓ Don't buy pro until you know what you're gettingI paid full price for this app sight unseen and I think that was a mistake. The illustrations are really cute and I really like how they included prospective fathers, and that it didn't require a login. However, the information is patronizing, uncited, and sometimes inaccurate. For example, it said that the Chinese moon method of predicting gender was 90% accurate, when it is only 50% accurate. It keeps telling me not to eat too much, but weight gain is actually not one of my worries. It gives lists of chemicals to avoid but not lists of common pregnancy symptoms. Then it asked me to review the app before I've read most of the cards (not taking me to the app store when I put in the stars!). I'm not sure if I can trust any of the information in the app now, even though I was hoping that a paid app would have good research..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Be carefulWanted to try the trial version and instead it changed for the year subscription taking £50 out of my account that I’ll never see again! Absolutely ridiculous!!!.Version: 1.4.10
✓ ScamI’d like my money back , I signed up for the three day free trial and was charged twice the same day I signed Up for the free trial..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Ultrasound is “harmless”??Downloaded this app today and one of my first interactions on it was to read about how my first ultrasound was coming up (which it isn’t because I’m not getting any ultrasounds and it shouldn’t be assumed that everyone wants or needs one) and is “a harmless procedure.” This kind of misinformation is infuriating as a birth doula who works hard to help women actually be informed about the risks of every procedure considered standard routine in our western medical system. Even the FDA claims openly that we don’t know the long-term risks of routine ultrasound, especially on women for whom it is not medically necessary! Read a book, Happy Belly! Ultrasounds are entertainment for the masses and cannot prevent harm to mother or baby..Version: 2.1.1
✓ DisgustedThis app was enjoyable to use until I hit the 35th week and opened it up for the morning. The paragraph I read suggested that at this point in the pregnancy I should eliminate everything from my diet except for hot vegetable soup. The reason? To keep the baby small and have an easier labor. I am so disgusted by the sharing of this irresponsible information and taking advantage of women already in a very vulnerable state in their lives. Do not download this app.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Not freeI have to pay to use this.Version: 1.3.15
✓ Don’t download this app, it isn’t worth it.This app is poorly written (often with poor grammar, or with sentences you can’t even follow), and contains damaging information (two examples are suggesting fasting for pregnant women, and telling them that home births are dangerous when research has actually proven that home births are more likely to be safer and have less complications and need for interventions for low risk pregnancies than hospital births). It will present information as fact with absolutely no citations of research, which other pregnancy apps do routinely so women can confirm the information is accurate. If you want a pregnancy app, download Ovia pregnancy or Pregnancy+, they are unbiased and far safer for pregnant women. The ONLY good thing about this app is the artwork. That is it..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Supposedly Free...Misleadingly on the App Store as a free app, and you can't see anything without paying either £5 a month or £24 for the year... Should just be advertised as paid for in the first place....Version: 1.4.1
✓ Need to update their weeks calculation but great interfaceI actually would give this 3.5 stars if that were an option. The good: I downloaded 6 pregnancy apps and this one is in the top 2 for interface and ease of use. I am debating whether to buy a subscription to get full access to the features especially the to eat or not to eat feature. However, as many have noted in the reviews, the “weeks” calculation is off by a week, so if you are at 7 weeks 1 day, the app says you are at 8 weeks. I read the developer’s response that you are technically on the week ahead, in this case 8 weeks as you have completed week 7. BUT NO OTHER APP NOR DOCTORS calculate your weeks this way. It’s very confusing. I don’t understand why they just don’t fix this calculation. In pregnancy knowing the weeks matter. I think this is a big issue and one that is making me hesitant to spend money on for additional features. It’s a pretty app but really needs to make sense medically for me to keep using..Version: 2.0.9
✓ DisappointedLadies save that 28£ for this app and buy something for baby instead., waste of money. So many more free aps out there and much better ones..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Okay, but could loosen upThe pieces/tips/info around science based information tend to be informative and well written. That being said, I find that the opinion pieces by mommy bloggers to be harsh and borderline fat shaming. Every experience is different, and judgy write ups aren’t exactly helpful for mommas to be..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Okay app with poor content orchestrationWhile the UX/UI of the app is fancy, I find the content to be at best okay. Overall I regret my purchase. Get a well-reviewed pregnancy book for $20, and you will be better off. The app suggests questionable medical recommendations which based on the latest studies are not true or well-supported. Some content (e.g. the app seems to have weird fixation on making you eliminate a lot of things from your diet) did not make me feel empowered. Overall, I would not recommend..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Not impressedWorst money I ever spent on an app. Half the time it didn’t load properly and I found the content not helpful at all..Version: 1.4.2
✓ SCAMThey have taken $46 from my account and I never approved it! It was a free download and once I opened the download it asked me weather I wanted to subscribe and obviously I DID NOT! Not for $46 and I got rid of it but yet they have gone and taken money from my account! I’m a single mother and that sorta money is a lot! I’ll be demanding my money back ASAP you are disgusting for taken that sort of money off of people without consent..Version: 1.4.9
✓ Negative and fear based adviseThis app provides some good information but unfortunately this is overshadowed by negative advice and quite frankly unresearched and thoughtless advice. There is a lot of information here that is more conservative than advice given by reputable sources, and this advice comes with warnings about the dire consequences that will occur if you don’t follow the advise. This is quite frankly unneeded stress pregnant women don’t need and in conflict with more reputable sources. It also offers a good amount of mental health advise which is weird first of all (I.e. there is no euphoria?) and second of all, is also not medically sound advise (go to the park if you are sad?). Finally the grammar is pretty terrible in this ap..Version: 1.4.11
✓ Wouldn’t refundPurchased this accidentally due to finger print purchase being on and went straight to the Apple report a problem page. Was told I am not eligible for a refund. 23 quid!!!! And the information in here isn’t even accurate. Pregnancy+ is free and a thousand times better. Really not what I need right now when I’m a contractor trying to save for my mat leave..Version: 1.13.20
✓ No.This is the least intuitive app I have, and I even sprung for the unlimited version. I am constantly frustrated that I feel like I wasted money. The due date challenges, as well as being considered a week further than any other doctor, website, or app I’ve consulted is baffling and has cultivated distrust. I bought this because the 3D images were initially appealing, but I feel like I get the least of out this app in comparison to the 4 other ones that I have (that are free.).Version: 1.13.18
✓ GlitchyLoved the concept of this app and the daily tips but found it functioned v poorly. My tips didn’t deliver to me in notifications despite me setting the settings to do so (and they did initially). The weeks did not update so it would show me outdated tips and not tips for this week..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Judgy-American Health TipsI deleted within the first 5 mins of using it. Not for me. If you’re more from the “Expecting Better” school of thought. Avoid!.Version: 1.4.7
✓ ....what?This app gives little mini articles throughout each week, but it’s a little confusing because some of them are addressed to a significant other and some are not. This didn’t make sense to me because why would a guy add an app called hello belly with a little pregnant lady on it? It just seems like it’s clearly for the person who is pregnant, so the articles should be consistent with that. Secondly, the language in the articles is confusing, almost like it’s been translated or written by someone who doesn’t speak common English. Also, one of them says not to get upset if your body rejects a pregnancy at week 7 because it’s a good thing. Really? This is so insensitive and all around strange to say. Why would a pregnant woman want to read that? Lastly, the image of the baby is not at all scientifically accurate. When matched with countless other images on apps and websites, the baby shown on this app is several weeks ahead of where it should be. Overall this app is confusing and awkward. I will not be using for the remainder of my pregnancy and wish I hadn’t spent the money..Version: 1.4.9
✓ Spinning and high movement graphicsTried this app since it was recommended in the app store and pregnancy websites. Unfortunately, many aspects of the app include high movement visuals which move automatically, such as the fast spinning baby on the landing page. The high movement visuals have been making me feel dizzy and disoriented. When I am trying to read something, these visuals pull my eyes and the jerky motion makes me feel dizzy. Sometimes the visuals pop out from the bottom of the screen and can catch me unprepared. Since I was tired of holding my hand over half my screen to cover the visuals and read something, I contacted support, who could not provide a solution beyond trying to skip among the pages to avoid the movements. Moving quickly among the pages to avoid these visuals does not seem to address my issue with high movement visuals, but rather potentially stimulate it with quick movements. I wouldn't be able to read if I can trying to quickly jump among the pages. The app does not have a way to reduce motion. Sure - this dizziness might be a symptom of pregnancy from seeing these fast moving visuals, but this is an app FOR pregnancy. Given this, I expected that the app might be better tailored to the variety of experiences during pregnancy. I'm already pass the first trimester. The app seemed to have a lot of potential, but I don't want to feel dizzy from an app..Version: 2.0.8
✓ NOT freeThis app was advertised as a free version, in the first few prompts it forces you to in to a paid version. I just accidentally spent 38 dollars on this app that gives general information I can get ANYWHERE. Not impressed..Version: 1.13.16
✓ Super expensiveSorry, but with the number of free pregnancy apps out there, $40 or over $6/month for this one is outrageously expensive. And I’m not about to give you my credit card info to try for free for 3 days, nice try. That’s how you trick busy, preoccupied pregnant ladies into paying for the app after the free trial..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Due date/weeks are wrongI’m 12 weeks this week. If I put my due date in, the app tells me I’m 13. If I put in the date of my last period. The app tells me my due date the day before it is, and if I put in the weeks, the app tells me I’m due 11 days after I actually am. There’s not a whole lot of information on the app like there is on some other apps. There’s only a couple articles that are a paragraph or 2 long and not super informative about anything. Verdict? Skip it. Edit- I received a response from the developer- i May have missed articles that I didn’t go searching for, but my dashboard didn’t show me many articles, so I wasn’t going to scour the app looking for them. As far as the weeks thing though, maybe that’s something that should be changed- that’s not the way any other app, or the doctor reads it. I’ve never heard on anyone considering you being on your “13th week” until you are 13 weeks. And that’s still doesn’t solve the problem for the due date issue. If that was the case, my due date should be a week off when I put in how many weeks I am, not almost 2 weeks off..Version: 1.13.16
✓ I wish I hadn’t paid for thisThe tone of this app is condescending and twee. It’s just a really oversimplified, fairly negative take on everything about being pregnant. I wish I hadn’t paid for this app, I think it’s annoying, from the copy in it to the smug little illustrations. There isn’t much in the way of good content or info in this app - there are far more comprehensive pregnancy apps (for free!) that don’t talk down to you..Version: 1.4.10
✓ Not my first choice for pregnancy appThe images are cool, great design. Baby 3D is awful compared to what is out there in other apps Advice...poor. Could be updated with more recent advice, language is so difficult to read! And advice is overly repetitive. I don’t get this experience with the free apps and I much prefer them. I paid for 1 year subscription for this tool and wish I hadn’t..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Not for meImmediately wanted to be upgraded before I’d seen any content, wouldn’t load the 3D images and then kept having ‘unrecoverable errors’. Deleted ten minutes after download. There are so many content filled free apps out there it isn’t worth the effort. ..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Helpful but . . .This app is cute and playful with it’s weekly updates but the app keeps changing my Due date and it’s getting quite annoying. I’ll enter my date and every time I log in to check an update my due date gets moved back to a day or two before. What’s up with that? To be paying a monthly fee for this app, this shouldn’t be happening..Version: 1.4.7
✓ Cute butSoooooo many typos its crazy. Needs reviewing asap!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not worth the moneyI thought there was going to be more 3D graphic. Not just a plain image of a baby. Not really good tips. Maybe the yoga part, but still not a guided video, you have to read the introduction. If they upgraded things I think would be a better app..Version: 1.3.15
✓ DO NOT PURCHASESuch a waste of money. It doesn’t even give you the right “week” when you put in your due date or last period date. It’s always a week ahead. The yoga videos are one min each, even once you purchase the app. You have to constantly close and click the next video to continue, which defeats the purpose of relaxing yoga. The videos of the baby in the womb don’t start until week 13 and it’s not even super informational. Plus it’s less of a video and more of a photo you can rotate. Now, I’m 10 weeks pregnant (of course the app incorrectly says I’m 11) and it says there isn’t information available for my week yet and to “stay tuned.” I paid $20 for a year of the app and it was a huge mistake. I emailed them with my concerns and they said the app is still a work in progress. I got a different app for FREE and wish I just did that in the first place. DO NOT GET IT unless you love wasting your money. Edit to say: Even your response is unprofessional. I have the email I got originally that I will forward to you where I WAS told that the reason certain things weren’t working properly was because you were still “perfecting the app” which is the same thing. I also tried to get a refund through the App Store and they denied me because they said it isn’t their fault that the app doesn’t work as advertised. And if you “don’t need the money” from customers that don’t like your app, please feel free to send my $20 back. Thanks..Version: 1.3.12
✓ Decent, but needs some upgrades.Pros: the articles are great, the symptoms list is very informative Cons: I’ve never gotten the AR to work, food list needs more items (pork?) (ramen?) and most importantly, there needs to be an update for women to report an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage and have support for them. It’s hard seeing updates for how big my baby should be when she’s lost so I have to delete this app until the next time I’m pregnant in my second trimester..Version: 2.1.6
✓ Watch out for proThe app forces you to the “pro” subscription page and the only option is to close out of the app. Of course, if you have Touch ID set up, your iPhone will read this as approving the transaction so I was just charged $40 Canadian for a garbage app that does nothing. Who would pay $40 for this? Battling with Apple now to get my money back..Version: 1.13.16
✓ Way too expensive!Totally not worth the money (45 CAN$).Version: 1.4.9
✓ Overpriced and can’t edit due dateI’m feeling rather dumb for spending $26 on an app that has all the same information as the many free ones out there. In addition, I’m super frustrated at not being able to edit my due date (which was changed by doctors 3x as my baby grew). When I try to edit the date, it won’t let me change it to accurate date - it keeps jumping to July for some reason. I’m around 30 weeks now and have been reading information two weeks off of schedule. It makes the entire app experience less enjoyable when you know it’s not consistent with where you’re at in your pregnancy..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Ok but not freeIt’s okay but unless you pay just under £5 per month you will be persistently interrupted with ads! Nice 3D graphic though!.Version: 1.3.12
✓ Unwanted subscriptionAs soon as I opened the free app I somehow purchased the $50 yearly subscription. The words and price did not pop up until after I used the finger print select option to move to the next screen. At that point it was too late. I decided to give the app a try and have found it not useful. My weeks/days are off once I managed to select the correct due date - which I could only select by choosing a different due date since they seem to be off a few days. For example when I chose Dec 26 it would pop up as the 24th or 25th. Then say the incorrect number of weeks and days into my pregnancy. The yoga feature is terrible. There are videos but the directions for each pose need to be read on screen and it doesn’t automatically move to the next pose. Also the timer is off. For poses that say a duration of 3 minutes, the timer only goes for 1 minute and poses that say 1 or 2 minutes for duration only have a 30 sec timer. I tried to request a refund via report a problem but it was denied instantly..Version: 1.4.10
✓ DisappointedThe advertising made it seem as though this app would be super informative and interactive. After purchasing the app it took me about 1 minute to scan every function of the app. So disappointed..Version: 1.3.11
✓ The due date calculator is offI put in my LMP, and it gave me a due date one day too early compared to all other due date calculators (I’m an ultrasound tech and work in OB, so I’m positive it’s the app that’s wrong). This calculated me to be 1 day further along than I actually am. So I adjusted my due date manually and it changed the LMP the wrong direction and then said I was 2 days further along than I actually am. The calculator appears totally broken. I finally fudged the calculator enough to get an accurate due date, but so far my first impression of this app isn’t great..Version: 2.1.6
✓ AgreeI agree with last review. You should be honest with pricing before app is downloaded..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Worst app.Free to download but once downloaded won’t allow you to access it without paying $8 per month or $40 for the year. I don’t have a issue with paying, what I have a issue is being expected/forced to pay it without a week or months trial to see if it’s even worth the money. Waste of data and time for me to download, I’m defiantly sticking with my two favourites “Pregancy+” and “What to expect”.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Not great.I bought this app and it isn’t cheap. To be honest I felt that all this information can be found for free. Also this app contradicts itself a lot. For example, it says do not drink peppermint tea but elsewhere it says that if you have gas then drink peppermint tea! I emailed them about this and of corse did not get a reply. Also some tips are not tips if that makes sense. It’s like they are trying to hard and having random tips that won’t help a pregnant women..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Even the free version isn’t worth itFirst, this due date calculator is insanely frustrating. It goes completely against what your doctor (and what any other app) will calculate if you put in the correct start of your LMP, plus the weeks are off. I understand they have their own “philosophy” of what week you’re in but it’s not helpful to have everything else in your life agree on a number for the week with the exception of this one app. I thought maybe I could get something out of it by ignoring that and using the tools like meditations. The meditation was not high quality or well written. It was frustrating that they harped on one pronoun which was not configurable and was incorrect for me. I get that some people are having a different gender baby, but if you’re gonna make it just one pronoun, maybe don’t use it 50 times in 2 minutes? Completely takes away from the experience. So glad I didn’t pay for this. Will be deleting..Version: 2.0.9
✓ There are way better ones!Broken English, tips don’t make sense. Not a good app!.Version: 1.3.11
✓ Review edit- help With pro and all apps accessA month has passed since i was told to email them and I still did not get an answer. Will use the rest of my subscription and then will uninstall, sorry. This is just not nice as I paid the highest sub to get access to the rest of apps and I didn’t. I have paid for pro hello baby just to have access to all the features in the other apps too. Downloaded baby tips and the sounds are not unlocked neither the recipes, when I click on pro it appears as if I wouldn’t have it. But in hello baby I have my pro subscription active. Help ? I literally bought the annual one for me to have access to all the features in the other apps. Ugh 😓.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Misleading!!!This is not in app purchases...for premium content. It’s download app, load to find out the whole app is a subscription. What a downer. These apps advertised as free with in app purchases that end up being subscriptions are incredibly misleading. All a pregnant woman needs is to be mislead. Two big 👎🏼 from this momma..Version: 1.4.7
✓ Terrible and offensiveDo not buy this app. The writing is gibberish and offensive. The advice given is terrible. I keep the free version to laugh at how bad it is. Obsessed with trying to fat shame pregnant women, highly sexist and some of the “dad” advise is deeply misogynistic. Honestly the worst pregnancy app ever. Im sure some of the writing is done by AI as it’s so bad..Version: 2.1.10
✓ New updateWhy does the latest update not give an option to remove the spinning fetus at the top of the page? The entire reason I sought out this particular app was because I WOULDN’T have a strange 3D representation of an imaginary fetus staring me in the face every time I opened it. Not to mention the fact that the new layout squishes down the existing daily tips and makes them harder to navigate. The giant spinning fetus was already available in the side menu! Why does it need to default to my main page and take up half the screen?! This is not the first thing I want to see in the morning!.Version: 1.4.6
✓ Poorly written and have to pay for everythingThere are so many better baby apps on the market that offer free information regarding your help. The minimal information that is available is so poorly written it’s like it was run through Google translate. Half of it doesn’t make sense. The way information is written is cringy and uncomfortable and not reassuring for a new mother. It’s very hard to know how to feel when trying to gain information from this app. I do not recommend..Version: 2.1.16
✓ Bad design, addons cost me $70I downloaded this ap, accidentally subscribed to the bonus features because my thumb was on the home Button the first time I opened the ap, and then was so mad about the $70 charge I deleted the app and tried to get a refund. That didn’t happen so I redownloaded it from the ap store and I don’t even have the features I shelled out $70 for. I’m beyond angry. I don’t have an extra $70 for this stuff when I’m saving for a baby..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Try the trialDisappointed with the lack of info.... especially considering the cost of the app. Graphics are cute.... but I kept waiting for more - but there’s nothing more. I was really looking forward to the yoga portion too however there’s a few poses per trimester? Unless I’m missing something. :(.Version: 1.13.18
✓ Cute but needs improvingThe pictures on this are totally cute, but overall the app could use a proofread. The sentences at times don’t quite make sense, for example: “she still needs to increase the weight about 2 times, so don’t forget to eat a varied and full.” The “pregnancy experience” described doesn’t really leave room for different experiences that women have - it seems a bit one-size-fits-all. Not everyone experiences dizziness or swollen feet, but the app seems to imply we all do. Also, it’s not the end of the world to eat a bit of chocolate once in a while - but the app forbids it! I like that the app doesn’t just default to the male pronoun when referring to baby, but using “she” the whole way through made me, as a mother of a baby boy, feel a bit isolated. Maybe mixing up the pronouns would be a more balanced approach. There were a few posts in here that were also a little disheartening during Covid (eg advice to take babymoons, go out to dinner, and get pampered). I guess the pandemic took us all by surprise though. I did like the way the app sought to equip partners to take care of their pregnant loved one, and a lot of the advice really was helpful. It’s good the way it delivers in bite-sized pieces because all the information can be a bit overwhelming otherwise! Overall, a cute design and fun short reads each week, but there’s a bit of work still to do..Version: 2.0.8
✓ How to cancel and get a refundThis got subscribed by mistake and now I am not able to find how to cancel this and get a refund.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Not worth itI tried the free trial, I found this app boring and not much content. The yoga is basic! The tips are funny, it’s the illustration that makes it but other then that it’s just okay.Version: 1.13.17
✓ Waste of moneyFirst of all I’m not paying $30 for a app when I read through reviews and see everyone having problems with weeks and due dates. Probably a problem you should focus on fixing. Second, you claim your app is “unique “ because of tips and other information, please elaborate on that because every pregnancy app I’ve had has great tips and other information. The Glow Nurture app is amazing and gives great advice plus you can interact in groups with moms and other things and ITS FREE.Version: 1.4.7
✓ Cute Graphics, Not Very UsefulThe description and cute graphics made me download the free trial but the app itself is very disappointing. The info is lacking and not very good. There are way better pregnancy apps out there, especially given the monthly and yearly cost of this one..Version: 1.3.12
✓ Not impressedThis app has a glitch that can’t be fixed where it just shuts down occasionally. This app won’t let you go to the following week to catch a glimpse of what’s left. This apps meditation voice is extremely enthusiastic and not very peaceful. It’s a very expensive app and the other free apps do the same thing so my advise is to get the free apps and know that you’re not missing out on anything :).Version: 2.0.2
✓ Not FreeThis app appears free, but upon opening, requires signing up to a subscription to use..Version: 1.13.16
✓ UghA lot of this is in weirdly broken English and so much is about how concerned about looks and weight us preggos are which is just bs..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Impossible to set due dateI just input my due date and it changes it to a few days before or after every time..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Accidental purchaseHow to I get refunded! I accidentally purchased it and put my fingerprint in and accepted the purchase . I would please like a refund as I have not even entered any information and do not want to use the app?.Version: 1.4.2
✓ ExpensiveVery expensive, most apps like this are free, and the memberships are weird time periods. Not an effective app without paying at all.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Dates are all wrongI'm currently 31 weeks pregnant. When I set the app to 31 weeks it gave me a date to more than a week away from my due date. Not sure what count it works on but it's not clear so deleted the app..Version: 1.0.2
✓ UselessPaid for the whole year subscription and honestly it was a waste of a lot of money. Absolutely useless app. Every time I open it it’s set to 42 weeks... I’m currently 38 weeks. It’s literally useless..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Worst AppI purchased this app and deleted it by mistake and now it wouldn’t allow to download without paying again!!!!! Can the customer service look into this.Version: 1.4.2
✓ ScamIt says free but you literally can’t start using the app until you pay them 8 dollars months or 40 bucks. Such a scam. Edit: it DOES say free thank you. It’s free download and then hits you with bull in app purchases. Ovia pregnancy is 1000 times better. Not interested in your response either. “We never said free” when you go to download it from the store, it has a price next to it. You could have put the price down easily but you KNOW it’s a scam and wait for people to download to then hit them with your horrendous prices..Version: 1.13.19
✓ Weird.This app is super weird. The English is broken and the “tips” are strange and sometimes very inaccurate. Not really sure why this app is being so heavily advertised. And the free trial contains tons of annoying ads. Download the bump or something instead..Version: 1.3.12
✓ Not a free app!!The app is designed so that it’s incredibly easy to accidentally set up a rather expensive subscription. Be aware!!.Version: 1.4.10
✓ Does not use peer reviewed evidence when providing adviceThe app makes blatant health claims without high level peer-reviewed evidence..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Not for me!This app offers information that is inaccurate and EXTREMELY judgmental. For example, there’s a whole article about how drinking soda in your second trimester will lead to GD, and you should be consuming less than 150mg of caffeine a day. The official limit according to doctors is 200mg a day. This is only one example, I have frequently been put off by their articles and advice. Being pregnant is already a difficult time with many restrictions, give moms a break and at least offer judgment-free accurate information..Version: 2.1.7
✓ Really annoying appEven though I put the same details into 3 different pregnancy apps this one has me a week behind the others, so my "updates" aren't relevant. Pesters me to allow notifications, sparse information that is included in other, better apps with A LOT more information. The cartoons aren't funny or that cute.. I just don't get why this app exists..Version: 1.0.3
✓ I feel it speaks a different English from what I know.There I said it. They have such a strange way of constructing sentences, sometimes they literally don’t make sense, feels like it is one of those eBay goods where the instructions were translated with an online engine and everything is boggled. It’s not everywhere and isn’t constant but in 6 months I grew to hate it!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Not very helpfulI started the trial version, which I was able to figure out once I read the reviews (and your answers) and found the app is not very intuitive. The graphics being used are not very relatable to pregnancy (I just don’t see how a female Godzilla tanning in the beach relates to my baby starting to have hands) and some are just plain scary. Also your obstetric week calculator is wrong. It’s simple math, if I’m in week eight, then my due date is 32 weeks in the future, not 33 (because Homo sapiens pregnancies last 40 weeks, unless that has recently changed and no one was told)..Version: 1.3.12
✓ Doesn’t workI purchased the app an after my money was taken I can’t get past the screen that asks u to pay for subscription. I paid for it an can’t even see or use the app!.Version: 1.4.5
✓ App is inaccurateThe stages of development are completely wrong. There is no option to unsubscribe. Don’t get sucked in! This is the worst app I have come across and am currently trying to contact them so they will stop charging me.Version: 1.4.6
✓ Super buggySuper buggy on iPhone 6, wifi, iOS 10.2. Freezing as you navigate between different tips. Looks cute, but deleted for now..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Terrible app!I paid for this app and it has never worked. It’s glitchy and clunky! There are many better pregnancy apps out there for way less money or free, I’d avoid this app at all costs, total waste of time and money!.Version: 1.4.12
✓ Not happy with this appFelt like all it was doing was trying to get me to sign up and pay!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ I like some things but it’s not worth the priceI do like aspects of this app, the graphics, the style of writing, the way it takes you through the stages slowly and doesn’t overwhelm you with information or allow you to jump ahead. Also the what to eat and what not to is a helpful guide. But I agree with some other reviews too: a lot of the info can be found online for free, the app doesn’t offer much for the price - there’s prenatal yoga but I can’t imagine doing the same thing everyday for 3 months - I’d get so bored! So I use something else. Plus the way you have to go through the yoga videos is not yogi user friendly. I also agree with others that there are at times contradictory information. I was also annoyed to read some subtle fat-shaming articles recently and that really peeved me off. Unfortunately I’ve already paid for this app so I’m writing a review instead to say don’t buy it, it’s not worth the cost. I find the information and tools on Pregnancy Plus far more useful..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Terrible app and bad adviceDon’t bother with this app unless you like to feel guilty for being pregnant and having emotions. Completely irrelevant information half the time and sounds like someone who has never been pregnant created this..Version: 2.1.0
✓ ShadyI started the trial, didn't cancel it in time but deleted the app. They charged me the lifetime fee instead of the monthly fee, so $40 CAD. I redownload the app, and it wants me to pay AGAIN before I can use it. You guys are thieves..Version: 1.4.2
✓ DeceivingTricked into downloading thinking it was free but as soon as you open it they try to charge a monthly or lifetime fee.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Don’t want the appI tried following your steps to cancel the subscription but it lead me nowhere. I downloaded this app by mistake and don’t want it!.Version: 1.4.9
✓ Rip offThis app is just terrible. I’ve tried to set my due date like 10 times and it simply will not accept my correct due date. It keeps setting it to the day before my due date. Also, it is telling me I’m on week 11 when I’m at the beginning of week 10. In addition, the prompt to pay $30 for the “full service,” which apparently doesn’t work anyway, was at the very begininning when you are setting up the app so I accidentally paid for it and there’s no way to cancel it after the fact. Worse pregnancy app on my phone. I would delete it but I was scammed into paying $30 for the stupid thing..Version: 1.4.6
✓ Doesn’t allow you to sign in, but allows paymentThe app gets to the pay per subscription page to use the app - I pay- and it doesn’t allow me to move forward it only allows me to pay again....Version: 1.13.20
✓ Disappointed and a little frustratedI was hoping this app would be more informative than it is. I had been using the Baby Centre app to get weekly pregnancy progression information (growth, symptoms, etc.) but it's a little boring so when I saw this app and its cute illustrations I had to try it, but it doesn't say much, and what it does say doesn't really pertain to what I'm experiencing nor gives information about baby's development. My second issue and frustration with this app is that I was incorrect about my expectancy date by one week and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to correct it. It seems my only options for anything are posting about the app on social media. There's no visible menu at all and I cannot skip ahead and look at the next week (the correct week), which renders this app useless now..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Money GrabDownload The Bump. Super accurate and free!.Version: 1.3.15
✓ Mother-blaming don’t downloadPregnancy is a sensitive time for a mother and it’s not supportive to have an app that says things like ‘don’t get upset because that harms your baby’ or ‘when you find out if you’re having a girl or boy don’t cry out and tell others not to as well because it will hurt your babies ears’. That’s all nonsense and has no basis in science. It’s just laying on guilt for no reason. I suggest finding a joyful app that celebrates pregnancy instead of putting mothers down like this one does. This shouldn’t be surprising seeing as how the app was founded by MEN! 😡.Version: 2.1.0
✓ HorribleI purchased the lifetime version of this app and it won’t let me use it. I keep getting a message my subscription is over even though I just purchased it!!! Don’t waste your money!!!.Version: 1.4.8
✓ WorstI wrote another review saying the content was lackluster and the app is in NO WAY worth the money. I saw in the other reviews and replies that the developer is suggesting that refunds are available through the App Store. Let me clarify that is NOT the case and apple only refunds for very specific cases. Displeasure is not one of them. I can’t recommend other apps more. Any of them. This is so boring I never use it. It’s added zero value to my life, and frankly I’m so angry about it I’ve written 2 freaking reviews. THIRTY DOLLARS?!? I’d like to say I was high or drunk but sadly I was just stupid. This app is the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. Also, like a lot of other reviewers said it can’t seem to get your due date or week correct which is excessively annoying. It’s not complicated and why Why WHY would I want to track my pregnancy differently than my medical provider? Moronic to the core. I’m going to delete it and forget this nightmare happened. Woof..Version: 1.4.9
✓ Find a different appI am so disappointed in this app. I did a free trial and loved it. The information in the free trial was presented in a cute, cheerful way. After I paid for the app, the daily articles/updates went downhill fast. The daily updates are poorly written, full of grammatical errors and inappropriate tense usage. I could get past that if the information had remained useful but it has not and is, in many cases, useless or medically incorrect. Lastly, I was triple billed for this nonsense. Save your money and find a different app!.Version: 1.4.12
✓ I like the app but, I didn’t want to purchase.I like this app but, I automatically got charged when I opened it for the first time. I didn’t choose an option or hold my finger down for authorization. I’m so confused what to do because I’ve tried sending my “report a problem” through Apple Support but, I have gotten no where because all it says is “We could not process your request at this time.” I’m a mother of two and we have a vacation coming up this next week and I just had $26 dollars ripped from my account without me authorizing it. I don’t know what happened but, I’m trying my hardest to get it resolved. That $26 would be a meal for me and my husband. I hope I hear from someone soon about this issue! Thank you. Savanna.Version: 1.13.16
✓ Little info of valueI find this app so condescending at times, and some of the advice is ridiculous and ill-informed yo say the least. It annoys me too much so I am unsubscribing..Version: 1.4.4
✓ UnfortunateWhen I saw this app advertised on social I thought it looked cute and downloaded it without reading the reviews. After it was downloaded and I started looking at it I found it rude and insensitive. The problem with is app is that instead of saying things like in week 10 some may experience this it says things like “pregnancy brain, getting stupid or clever”. Or your loved one has gained weight better pay more attention to her. Not all women have these “symptoms” and not all women feel insecure about their changing bodies. I feel like this app fails to recognize that which is unfortunate and sad..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Nice app but waste of moneyNice app, but not good when it comes to subscriptions. I was paying a weekly amount to access certain sections of the app, at first I was able to access them once I subscribed, but now I haven’t been able to access them for over a week, so I’ve now cancelled my subscription. Bit of a ripoff to take someone’s money but not allow access to the subscription only sections.Version: 2.0.9
✓ DisappointingI love the illustrations on this app and was excited to use it, but one of the first articles I read contained some major food shaming. Balanced diet is what is key for good health and the suggestion that a person will regret every cookie they ate during their pregnancy is infantilizing and condescending. There are far more important things to worry about after the birth of a baby..Version: 2.1.9
