Pregnancy & Baby Tracker - WTE for Negative User Reviews
✓ InconsiderateCompletely inconsiderate if you suffer a miscarriage. They have an option to mark pregnancy loss but still continue to send you emails as if you are still pregnant. Other apps do not do this. Deleted this app and won’t be using it again..Version: 12.3
✓ CensorshipGreat app unfortunately you can’t be conservative without getting your comments deleted..Version: 14.4.1
✓ Too many adsI couldn’t get myself to use this app because of excessive amounts of ads. I saw more ads than relevant information..Version: 16.5
✓ Please use with cautionI’m 31 weeks pregnant and have been using this app for a while and found it absolutely fine and loved the community aspect of talking to other pregnant women. However there is SERIOUS misleading information. At not time in your pregnancy will your baby run out of room!!! Once baby starts moving you should continue to feel patterns of movement up until baby is born even during labour. If you notice a reduction or change in moments get baby checked out chances are baby is okay but there are times when baby isn’t okay and the only sign is a change or reduction in movements..Version: 10.6
✓ Good app, could use some improved features!The app is good, however it would be nice to have some sort of private message function for the community. It would also be good to receive notifications when someone replies to my post. Also would be good if the whole community section was improved. For example the ability to click on usernames and see what they’ve posted and have some sort of profile. Just more fluidity in general would be nice..Version: 12.3.3
✓ Patronising and insulting daily tip!!Have been using the app since finding out I’m pregnant and so far, ok. Then today I got the most patronising and insulting daily tip I’ve ever seen entitled “Looking pulled together at work”. Are you serious???? Tips include “skip anything too revealing”, “invest in tailored shirts in pretty colours” and “slim maternity skirts & pants” so that “you’re as good to go as the CEO”. IS THIS A JOKE?? Are all women secretaries from the 50’s?? What if I’M yeah yeah the CEO? A doctor? A builder? An artist? An office worker who knows how to steer herself?? This is outrageous, outdated and condescending. I would expect women using this app to be treated with a little more respect. Appalling..Version: 10.6.3
✓ What happened??I have been using this app for years and every 6 months or so it seems like an new update messes everything up. Last time it was the insane amount of pop ups, I think that’s finally been fixed, although sometimes I’ll still be redirected to my browser for an ad that I never clicked on. Whatever they did with this new update makes my app run SUPER slow and laggy and makes my phone heat up super hot! I have a newer I phone and don’t have this issue on any other apps. The only thing that somewhat helps is deleting and reinstalling the app, but that only works for a maybe a day before the lagging and freezing and heating up starts again. I’m honestly hardly using the app anymore because I’m afraid it’s going to fry my phone. It’s really frustrating bc I love the features of the app and the community and being able to post, especially since I’m 30 weeks pregnant. Just wish there was a way to work out the constant glitches..Version: 15.0
✓ Bullied off the appIt has cool week to week updates on how your baby is developing but so do many other apps. The discussion boards are supposed to be a place where you can talk from one mom to another and get support. Instead it’s a place for keyboard warriors (some who aren’t pregnant) to harass, bully and curse at you. No hormonal expecting mother deserves that treatment from strangers. I was excited to connect with other moms at first but it turned sour fast. There is no way to delete a post you make or a comment. So you just continue to get bullied and the app does nothing about it. When I went to delete my account there is no button to do so. You have to email their support team and it took two days. I told them that I was being bullied and mentioned that there should be a delete button on the discussion board and for your account without the lengthy process and they ignored me, even though in the email they sent it said “ If you any further questions, please don't hesitate to reply and let me know.” Don’t get this app. I suggest downloading Baby Center..Version: 14.5
✓ Do plus size women not exist?This app is generally good for tracking pregnancy, but the constant obliviousness to the fact that not every woman starts her pregnancy “thin” is immensely frustrating. Plus size women simply are not considered in any of the language. For example, in articles on pregnant belly size, the mother’s pre-pregnancy weight is not once mentioned as a possible factor. There are no resources or tips for larger women as our bodies change and the particular struggles we have. All the cartoon graphics show very thin women (though you can at least change skin tone). Then of course there’s the usual constant emphasis on not gaining too much weight during pregnancy (as if women aren’t aware!), complete with ads for weight loss - being marketed to pregnant women. (I filed a complaint about those ads and haven’t seen them in a month or so - I appreciate that, but it was ridiculous that they were there at all). This is all a bias I noticed in the What to Expect When You’re Expecting book, but I have an older edition and hoped the app would have come to terms with the fact that different body types exist. Not the case - yet..Version: 16.11
✓ Outdated advice and unsupportive forumsThis app was great for my birth month homeboard, but a lot of the tips and advice are unhelpful, judgemental or even wrong according to more recent research (in areas of sleep, settling, feeding etc). It is also very USA specific, so some of the advice clashes with Australian guidelines. Also, many of the forums - even some birth month forums - are dominated by a few opinionated personalities who often bully other posters and are poorly moderated in that regard. I found it a very unsupportive app for new mothers all round..Version: 14.8
✓ Little consistencyI’m very disappointed in this app, as I thought it would be a great way to track the size of our baby between appointments, knowing it of course wouldn’t be exact. I have the app on my phone, and my husband has it on his phone. All the same information entered about our pregnancy but it rarely has the same information regarding size. We are 38 weeks currently, and it’s telling me that she’s the size of a small watermelon, 19-20in & 7lb, where his days she’s the size of Swiss chard 19-22in & 6.5lb. Again I know it won’t sync with exactly how big our baby is, but I don’t understand why our apps are telling us two different things. SOME of the articles/videos are appropriate but they don’t always cater to the season, or where you are in the pregnancy, which is annoying, as pre-pregnancy stuff is useless to me. Then as others have mentioned, there is the amount of spam emails received, to the point where I unsubscribed to the emails because it was annoying and way too much. Overall I think next time I’m pregnant I will be finding a different app to use, as this one has been very lacking!.Version: 11.1.1
✓ Cyber Bullying & MisinformationI do not even know where to begin about this app other than avoid it at all cost for pregnancy and parenting tips. The forums go unmonitored so their community guidelines truly mean nothing. There are crazy incidents such as cyber stalking, cyber bullying, and just down right crazy personal attacks. Conspiracy theories riddled with misinformation run wild on the forums. It’s just a mess. Not to mention all the medical advice this app and women on the forums try to give without being actual medical professionals such as you don’t need to go to the doctor for bleeding. You absolutely need to call your doctor at the sight of blood in pregnant and follow their recommendations as they’re the ones with your medical record in front of them!.Version: 13.8.1
✓ Wow what a messForums are a breeding ground for drama; the way they set it up totally feeds into it as there is no way to remove a post or block someone who is spamming, or being super rude. mods took days to take down the post and did nothing to try to prevent the people causing unnecessary drama prior to taking it down; the forums could be great if they had the basic abilities to block people from responding or take your own post down, but instead it feels like they intentionally made it impossible to fix the situation yourself without having to literally email the moderators and wait days for them to take it down after they failed to fix the deeper problem. The forums feel like a total scam to make money off their partner ads with no concern for user. Fixing this issue would be insanely easy and so beneficial as it would prevent those just looking to start drama and foster a toxic environment from participating; after searching the forum it is clear that this has been a common issue for others as well so what other reason is there that this has not been fixed in an app that has been out for so long?.Version: 15.4
✓ Sometimes useful; always toxicThe progress section is useful as are the videos. The community part, however, is a cesspool of toxic shaming, bullying, race-baiting behaviour. It is usually the same people stirring the pot. Speaking of pot, it seems that in hosting discussion groups for women who smoke weed whilst pregnant and post-partum, that WtE condones this. I watched a whole host of horrific behaviour on the thread boards whilst counting down my pregnancy. It would not surprise me if there were women and men suffering mentally as a result of engaging on these boards. Basically, don’t bother with WtE, find another app that has all the support without the toxic community section..Version: 13.0
✓ Anxiety fodderTen years since I first rejected WTE for its dogmatic, non-evidence-based nonsense, I thought I’d try again. Utterly useless app, focusing weirdly on comparing baby to extremely size-variable fruit and veg and “what can we make you worried about today?” Horribly American and focused on the industrialised birth process that demands a six-figure-salaried doctor be present at every single birth, so it’s understandable that they’d want to keep you as nervous as possible. Today, at 30 weeks, I received a notification telling me to make sure my nursery was ready. No doubt full of random pointless stuff to buy. Deleted the app..Version: 15.2
✓ Skinny people used in photosCome on guys, this is unacceptable. Please get some reasonable looking women if you’re going to use models - not skinny ladies.Version: 14.4.1
✓ An ok appThis app is very much geared towards its American audience but as an international app it should be more generic. Coming from a country with opposite seasons to America I’m not too interested in keeping cool when pregnant when it’s the middle of my winter. A bit too much on the best way to fleece your friends and family with a registry. Some of the articles are good, it is VERY annoying how each article has the leading sentence twice..Version: 11.2
✓ Trolling ruins the space. Racism is very prevalent.I’ve been using this app for quite a few years now. It’s been helpful along the way. I’ve become a part of a community of strong women. WTE needs to do more about taking care of troll posts... especially those that are racist and violent. They need to develop policies that block IP addresses so that trolls can’t just make a new account to continue their harassment. I’ve seen some of the most heinous comments and posts to many of the women of colour on the board. There should be a policy so strong against the actual death threats I’ve seen that it is rarely, ideally never, seen. WTE should be protecting their user base and allowing them opportunity to bring legal action against threats and harassment. I’m incredibly disappointed that this isn’t a priority..Version: 12.2
✓ Disgusting App - DO NOT DOWNLOADFunny that they’ll very quickly find and delete your comment that they decide violates their terms and conditions but continue to allow the same women to harass and gang up on anyone who dares to express a slightly different opinion. I genuinely believe WTE is paying people to bully posters who do not believe in the mainstream narrative. I’ve been called an idiot, stupid, a lunatic, amongst a whole host of other insults just for stating an opinion and it’s always by the same people. These comments never seem to get deleted unless they are reported. But as soon as I point this fact out, my comment disappears with no explanation. The fact that they’re preying on the emotions of pregnant women should be enough to have everyone stay off of this app. One of the “regulars” went out of her way to find a post another mother made almost a year ago about her anxiety behind the current Russia/Ukraine situation and how it was freaking her out, just to bring up a “nuclear threat” that was made against the US. It was so weird and inappropriate. If you know someone is terrified why would you go out of your way to remind them or give them more reasons to be upset? It was disgusting. And once again, when I pointed this out, my comment was deleted with no reason why. They’re trying to trauma bond with you. If you care about your mental health, STAY OFF OF THIS APP!.Version: 16.2
✓ Love the app but have two issuesI love this app and use it daily to read articles and updates about my baby. I also really like the communities and groups, but one thing about it irks me. I’m part of September 2020 babies because my EDD is Sept 16 but I see lots of women posting there that are only a few weeks along and most likely due in December and January. There needs to be a way to fix this as they clog up the threads with first trimester questions and constant worry of losing their babies. They also post questions and pictures of their pregnancy tests asking if group thinks it’s a positive or not. It’s annoying as the group is passed this stage and want to discuss second trimester issues and beyond. Another issue I have is the app constantly referring to my baby boy as “her” or “she” and is predominantly geared towards female babies. Every article, video and baby update refers to baby as a girl. After I found out the gender I changed it on the app but it still continues to call my baby boy by female pronouns, which I don’t appreciate..Version: 12.6.3
✓ Loose the Flipping liquor ads!!I think it’s pretty offensive to be subjected to a booze advertisement before learning about my baby’s development! That’s gotta change. As an alcoholic with over a decade of sobriety under her belt, the last thing I want to see is an ad for booze while pregnant no less! That has to change!.Version: 11.2.1
✓ Incorrect adviceI am concerned this app doesn’t provide parents with biologically normal infant sleeping advice. I find it would be more beneficially if the founders of the app reviewed some of their advice and perhaps offered alternatives to suggested sleep training. It is never a one size fits all. Unfortunately, the forums can be very judgemental and not much moderation occurring which can make it hard to request advice. I wouldn’t bother downloading this app, I don’t believe it has a supportive community approach or presents parents with correct (compiled and controlled researched studies) about different aspects of babies sleep..Version: 14.7
✓ Information is marginal, community is horridThe app provides very little information to expectant mothers, a few short non-meaningful articles and the size of the baby as it develops. The videos are absolutely horrid. The email spam is ridiculous. The community, especially Hot Topics is an echo chamber for bitter, miserable women who will beat down anyone who do not agree with them politically. When I say echo chamber, it’s just that. Even to the point where some of the regulars create new accounts with different user names just to agree with themselves in a debate. WTE is obviously ran by people who are politically left, as they allow anyone with leftist ideology to bully and name call those who aren’t. It’s an extremely toxic environment - with women who have been around since the beginning of the App. Ugh. I don’t recommend this at all to anyone who actually wants to enjoy their pregnancy, stress free and untainted by the miserable musings of rich stay at home left leaning women who feel superior to everyone else. They have found a sounding board to spend their miserable lives in and cyber bully people who aren’t like them and then pat each other on the backs and comfort each other about what great sensitive caring people they are. Find something better to do, there are certainly more informative less ridiculous pregnancy apps out there..Version: 10.6.3
✓ CensorshipAs others have said, the censorship is a huge problem. Some of the community is also pretty toxic as well. The funny thing is, the moderators do absolutely nothing about the disrespectful people in the community, but are quick to delete posts that don’t fit their agenda because they claim it’s “false information” or “disinformation”. I shared an abstract section of a scientific article based on factual toxicology reports, written by a medical scientist. It was used to just simply share information and I wasn’t declaring it to be “truth” and I was respectful, but nonetheless, WTE deleted it. So basically WTE picks and chooses which science is correct and if you disagree, you are accused of spreading misinformation. Also, people in groups have came forward, stating how the disrespect from some users makes them uncomfortable posting or interacting with other people. It’s a big problem, yet WTE moderators are more concerned about comments that indicate any degree of being pro-life. I really liked this app at first and have been a frequent user, but after seeing where WTE’s priorities lie, I may need to find a different community. I think WTE would benefit from hiring unbiased moderators.Version: 15.7
✓ If you want to be bullied, this is the app for you.Even after many, MANY reports and emails to the moderators and admins of this app, they continue to allow users to bully, harass, and make others feel stupid for the questions they ask on the community boards. I have screenshots to prove it. I am due soon with twins and the “multiples” board is by far the worst. They allow one particular user to run this board, post whatever she wants, bump it several times a day even though they don’t allow “spam” and allow her to berate and ridicule others for the questions they ask. This is by far the worst app and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.. especially someone expecting more than one baby. I’ve already posted one review here and it was deleted so the “5 stars” they currently have is only because they delete bad reviews. And before the admins respond to this review telling me to contact you by email, I’ve already done that, multiple times and I get no response and you’ve done nothing to improve the issues on the multiples board. Again, just stay away from this app. Go to babycenter or somewhere the mods and admins actually care..Version: 12.6.3
✓ StupidApp couldn’t recognize my baby’s name 🤭whoever made a list obviously didn’t think this through & could have made it a free for all in a sense.(obviously provided with restrictions on profanity etc) Also please add the delete feature for your own threads in groups instead of having to try to contact an admin to do this..Version: 11.2.1
✓ Best after a loss (update)I liked this app the most during my pregnancy. I had three I would look at regularly. I experienced a still birth at 21 weeks. This app was the only one that transitioned after I reported my loss, to a different version that talked about loss. It has given some great articles to read, and access to other women who are experiencing loss themselves. Thank you What To Expect. **(Update)** I have changed my review from 5 stars to a one star. After the loss of my baby I was still inundated with emails and mail advertising because of my information this app sold. It took months to stop receiving this after countless unsubscribes. Enfamil sent me a sample box in the mail that absolutely broke me. Their customer service (to complain about receiving the box) was a chat bot that wanted to make sure my loss wasn’t caused by their formula. I am also very grossed out that the app recommends at week 8 to sign up for a registry; conveniently theirs. This is a time of great risk of miscarriage and there is no reason a person needs to start a registry this early. It leaves opportunity for unnecessary heartache if a loss happens. As exciting as it is to use these apps and see the information they are providing about your pregnancy, see through the lines. They are using you..Version: 16.5
✓ Be Wary of BoardsThis app is nice in that it shows you your pregnancy’s progress and allows you to know some fun facts about your baby’s development each week. But - beware of the community boards. I thought it would be nice to bond with women in the same stage of pregnancy. Talk about good products or talk about your symptoms. There is some of that, but very little. Instead you find the first month or two it’s just a bunch of women posting their negative pregnancy tests asking if we somehow see a positive line in the picture that they don’t see, then it’s mostly very uneducated posts asking people to guess gender based on Chinese calendars or your gut feeling. Many moms to be give really bad advice, like eating dangerous foods, being ok with smoking as long as you’re trying to quit at some point, and other really shocking things. I feel like no one posts anything from a reliable source and a lot of what is asked could be so easily googled. I try to answer with data because I feel bad for people who truly don’t know and are possibly causing harm, but the amount of encouragement for people who are choosing to remain uneducated is very high. I would stay away from the boards..Version: 13.2.1
✓ DisappointedThis app started out okay. It’s nice to be able to track what your baby looks like. I mainly joined this app for the community discussion boards, but have become extremely disappointed with the bias of the moderators. Only one side is allowed to be heard. If you give a pro-life stance, be prepared to have your comments taken down. If you give a pro-adoption stance, be prepared to have your comments taken down. If you bring up religion, or even say you are praying for someone, be prepared to have you comments taken down. Most recently, if you give a pro-home school stance, be prepared to have your comments taken down. The bias has escalated, it is not subtle. Many women have complained. The moderators are well aware at this point. If you respectfully and kindly express an opinion they deem as problematic, you will be censored. Meanwhile, the other side is permitted to be objectively rude and even post personal attacks/insults in response other users, as long as it fits a certain narrative. I’m not usually one to complain, but the bias is discouraging to many on the app, and it is misleading to women who may genuinely be looking for different perspectives..Version: 16.2
✓ Was happy till 30 weeks...I was majorly shocked to see that you have wrote about it being normal for reduced movements once hitting 30 weeks as there is less room for baby to move!! This is awful advice and could potentially put many babies at risk of death by advertising that information!! This needs to be removed! PEOPLE LOOK UP KICKS COUNT! Movements should never reduce from normal patterns and if you experience any reduced movements of baby please get in touch with your midwife as it can be a major indicator that something potentially serious is wrong xXx.Version: 10.6.1
✓ It says I’m farther along than I amI inputed my info for the calculated due date and it says that I’m 2 weeks farther along than I am..I tried changing my calculated date by putting in my conception date rather than my last period but no change. It says that I conceived 20 days earlier than what I put in, and when I try to change it in the settings it won’t save. If the dates were right I would be following the app closer because it has a lot of good information..Version: 11.2.1
✓ Glitch in App?I found this app most annoying to use as it would always have an issue recording the duration of time for breast feeding which resulted in having to manually record it instead. Not sure why it keeps happening - almost 80% of the time. Deleting this app today and finding an improved app with an efficient functionality. Defeats the whole purpose if I have to manually record it!.Version: 15.0
✓ Terrible, ancient appHey WTE, hasn’t anyone told you that it’s 2018? I downloaded this app in 2012 and it’s barely changed. It is full of ads that interrupt every conversation you attempt in the forums. Add to that constant crashing, and many of us have given up on posting altogether. The developers decided that they don’t wish to validate emails, and so everyone can post simultaneously under 30 different screen names. Way to secure us. The app stinks and you need to get your shît together..Version: 10.5
