Glow: Track. Shop. Nurture. for Negative User Reviews
✓ Outdated Info, No AdminsVery outdated source material, and even when multiple people comment on errors or suggestions for improvements, nothing ever seems to get updated. The Glow team needs to be more on top of what their users want. They don’t seem to monitor anything, and just wait for users to flag posts. The community is very active, but the admins are either lazy, or they aren’t employing enough. Current material (most “articles” are from 2014) would be appreciated, and some are plagiarized with no source information cited. The app is also far too American and pro-medicalization of birth. The community is often disrespectful, but again, nobody monitors anything..Version: 4.4.5
✓ Stop emailing me after my miscarriage!!!!I unsubscribed after I lost my baby and you STILL keep sending me emails! It’s a huge slap in the face!! Respect people when they click UNSUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE US ALONE.Version: 4.24.2
✓ Community ruined itI liked this version of the app even less than I like the fertility tracker. I honestly didn’t even explore many of the features when I got pregnant, because I couldn’t get past how obnoxious the community is. No one ever discusses the articles Glow is sharing - it’s only ultrasound photos and people asking for any “Ramzi theories,” which, FYI has been disproven, so who cares? It’s just obnoxious and unhelpful. It’s also clear they don’t clean up the posts ever - there are no years included on the post dates (which is also weird?) but I can’t tell you how many posts I saw from women saying “just announced today!” And the photo of their announcement includes a due date from 2016. Glow has some good stuff here, but the focus (or lack thereof?) on the community portion of the app is honestly ruining it. Women need support, sure, but give users the option to hide it so they can have a better experience..Version: 4.10.4
✓ Logging and communityI liked this app so much as I was using the sister app to log my cycle before getting pregnant- it was a very similar set up and easy to do. I loved that it was free, and the articles and community were a nice addition to a decent log that I could reference at doctor’s appointments. The communities are vast, so there’s a lot of mommy shaming but also some fantastic and supportive people too. The articles are either interesting and informative or really off base and misleading, I’m glad I’m pretty well educated as far as development goes or I could have put excess pressure on myself with some of the advice given. As my pregnancy progressed, I found the push to purchase the app was more prevalent. I did the free trial and it was okay. I have my own literature, classes, and support circle so it wasn’t a necessary purchase for me. I barely check in now because I’m consumed with infant life, but it was nice to be able to commiserate or rejoice with others who were in the same stages of pregnancy. I recommend this app mostly for the logging but also for the community that you can find..Version: 4.10.12
✓ Don’t like the update :(The update means you can’t swipe to navigate to the next or previous days on the main home screen, which was much more user friendly. You now have to open the calendar and click on a day to open it. It was much better swiping to compare previous days rather than going in and out of screens! Please bring this back!.Version: 4.9.1
✓ I felt lured into a phoney subscription trialI’ve been using Glow fertility and pregnancy for 2 years now. They have some kind of new trick to get you start a subscription where they get you to spin a wheel like in a casino.. O tried few times and got 10% off few times and once 30% which got me to subscribe after a day or two. So I go ahead and buy the subscription at £21 For 3 months and to my surprise I was billed the next day an automatic renewal!! I was so shocked and disappointed that I cancel my sub straight away.. who does this??? Disgusting.Version: 4.8.6
✓ Insensitive if you suffer a loss.I loved this app until I suffered a loss. After you lose a child, the last thing you want to do is go to each app and change your status to healing mode. However, you don’t want to keep seeing daily updates on your baby that you no longer have. This app was the most insensitive and invasive to change over to healing mode. It forces you to answer 4 questions or it will not change from pregnant to healing from a loss. This should not under any circumstance be a mandatory thing. If the app gave an option like “Would you like to answer a few questions about your loss to help other women?” That would be different, but it asks you 1. what we did you experience your loss 2. Was it medical termination 3. Were you given a reason for your loss 4. Have you had any other losses. Unless you have experienced a loss these may seem trivial, but the fact that it forces you to answer such personal questions is unacceptable. This should definitely be one feature that is changed. As much as I liked the app while I was pregnant, I wouldn’t use it again for this reason..Version: 4.9.11
✓ Won’t work properly since last updateEver since the last update I can’t scroll down on the app it freezes anytime I try to move down the main page or go into the community section etc. super annoying because I pay for the app..Version: 4.24.12
✓ The “community” is a drama filled nightmareThere are a few things I like about this app. It is good to use to log your cycles and keep track of the daily emotional and physical goings on of your life. However, the “community” on this app is terrible. First off, there are 4 different apps using the same chat community. Meaning, you may see one woman posting a heart wrenching post about her 4th miscarriage, then immediately see a post from someone asking about the plan B pill. There is so much judgement and drama it’s disgusting. These 4 apps need to be separated. They say that you can filter what you see, but I filtered and still see posts from groups that I cut out. There are so many apps dedicated specifically to trying to conceive and/or pregnancy, I won’t be using this app anymore. Unless you live for the drama, look elsewhere. You won’t receive much in the way of support here..Version: 4.5.6
✓ Supportive environmentGreat place to come together as women and uplift, help and support each other. Iv seen some negativity from the select special few who don’t realize this place is a place to be uplifting and if you have a hate filled comment, to keep to yourself. Even with that being said, it’s been a place where I know I can go, ask a question, and get a lot of honest and kind feedback. If you have any fears or questions about your pregnancy or TTC you can count on other women on here to help guide you and or calm you down. I gave it three stars because I REALLY don’t like that this app takes down any and all Ramzi theory posts, as if it’s a crime to be curious to know what this legitimate new theory is about. They say you can post anything that’s not hateful, fully naked or negative, yet they have preferences on what certain things you can post about. This has been a common occurrence Iv noticed when it comes to gender guessing in ultrasound pictures. Although I understand that the makers of this app may not support the curiosity of that theory, it’s still something most women do because they’re just excited about their pregnancy and it’s fun. So, they really need to get over themselves with that one..Version: 4.5.4
✓ Women tearing each other downThe app is a great idea...BUT they have so many different “groups” that can be joined that I don’t think there is much “policing” when it comes to rude women cutting each other down. Honestly if they banned people from being on the community for breaking the rules and truly being the “adult” version of bullies, it would be a much nicer app. STRONGLY considering deleting after being called horrible things multiple times while trying to confide in others and ask for support during pregnancy. People need to group up and stop trying to tear each other down. One way to make this app a better place is to get rid of the chronic rule breakers and cut down the number of groups available to post on so admins can actually keep track of some of the stuff that goes on in the community. “Social media is truly the toilet of the internet”-Lady Gaga And this app is one of the biggest offenders I’ve EVER seen. It’d be great if it was used as intended, but people abuse it just to feel some control in their lives and be total jerks. Shame on the admins for letting it get so out of control..Version: 4.5.4
✓ Yea & NoI love the cross over from Glow to Nurture, as in they are sister apps. The app’s seamless layout makes it user friendly. BUT I feel like something is missing with Nurture and wish it did have some variation from Glow because this is essentially a new experience being pregnant. I tend to use other apps that show more atomically correct baby features rather then the cartoonish one in Nurture. I wish it reflected some of the other apps’ features like appointments, hospital bag, doctors appointments mommy notes rather then just checking off lists of symptoms, etc. I feel much of the features on Nurture are on the back side of the app rather then being the main features and I tend to neglect using them as much. Definitely heavy in pushing it’s ads, articles, and the community forum more then anything..Version: 4.19.10
✓ Not the same anymoreWhen I was pregnant my first two time I was able to read some of the daily articles without payment. Now they make you pay to read any of the articles. It’s a bit sad 😪 as much as I want to read then I am not going to pay all this money for an app I get similar articles on other apps. I’ll be Deleting this one and this use to be my favorite pregnancy app..Version: 4.10.9
✓ Was better beforeI have used this app to follow my pregnancies. I loved it. Every day I would read 2 articles about pregnancy and baby’s growth. Now you can only read 5 articles a week. (can’t even read 1 per day) Your 5 free articles can count towards the same article twice. For example, if you open an article, have to put it down and walk away for a few minutes, the app will reset and you either can no longer view that article or have to use a second free article for that week to finish reading the article. Between Nov. 2019 and Nov. 2020 they made this update and now if you want unlimited access to articles you have to pay for a premium account. I love using it before, despite the community and how horrible people treat each other on there. After a few run ins with some very nasty and vulgar people I only stuck to specific communities and hardy contribute to them. I’m mostly upset about losing the ability to read the 2 articles a day. I’m not sure why they made this change. There were articles that were premium that you could not read unless you bought an account, and I was okay with that. I’m just very disappointed in the changes. The community is easy to stay away from..Version: 4.17.1
✓ Some pretty vile users on this app - find a better appBearing in mind this is mainly for pregnant women. I had to report some vile woman for wishing us all to miscarry. The glow team couldn’t even be bothered to acknowledge the report. Despite me asking clearly that I wanted to know the outcome. They push the registry too much. And the sale of the paid version of the app. At 15 weeks they stop giving free information on your babies growth in the womb. I’m sure there are better apps but I am too committed now..Version: 4.24.10
✓ Too much/crowdedWhen I downloaded the app I didn’t do enough research prior rather I trusted a couple good reviews. The app is overcrowded with comments and pictures that I have no interest in seeing. Half the articles you think will be filled with great info seem incomplete and really don’t give you the information you want. Products and ads are everywhere. I understand they are going for a community/connected feel but it’s too much and some of the comments are so old it doesn’t even make you feel like it’s relatable. The daily log has several questions that I just can’t answer and therefore your log says it’s not 100% complete which is frustrating. When I was logging daily and would go to the forecast it would say “not enough info to predict” and eventually I stopped logging. I really wish I hadn’t spent money on this app. I honestly feel bad rating with 1 star. I have a job where I am personally rated so I know how much reviews can matter. This app seems to be really working for TONS of women but it’s not for those looking for a simple, straight forward tracking method..Version: 4.9.9
✓ Good enough for a free version- super poor for premiumBeen using for a few months now, upgraded to have access to the latest articles. Unfortunately it seems that someone just „cut up” some pregnancy book and never updates it... As if photos of heavily pregnant ladies next to 3 months pregnant articles were not enough, now the app suggests baby showers, social gatherings and all other activities forbidden during COVID-19 pandemic on a daily basis. Also doesn’t include any useful info with regards to current situation... super disappointing for the paid and premium app. Stick to free or download something else..Version: 4.10.2
✓ Not Worth ItI paid for premium in hopes it would truly provide more insight. It doesn’t. You can put it anything and it will just say “you are feeling out of sorts” like ok I know but give me details on fatigue, frequent urination, headaches, etc specifically. I want to know specifically other moms feeling fatigue, not that we’re all out of it but they’re tired while I’m peeing all the time? It’s very lazy and they really shouldn’t be asking for money for such basic information..Version: 4.13.0
✓ Other apps are betterI’ve had this app now since I was 9 weeks along. Currently 32, and it’s a bit frustrating. Unless you buy the premium version, you can’t read the articles, unlike the what to expect app or even my period tracker. Recently there have been a lot of “men accounts” soliciting sex and other things in a lot of the posts. It’s a bit frustrating considering this is a pregnancy app, or should be focused on that, yet we have weird individuals trying to hook up. I’ve even noticed More and more females acting the same way. If you want a dating app, then go to a dating app. This is supposed to be for people trying to get pregnant or whom are pregnant to have a safe place, and clearly these kind of antics make a lady want to delete it. I also wanted to delete my registry. You can’t. It doesn’t allow you to, unless you go to each individual item and delete it. You should be able to just delete it if you wanted. Not sure I will be sticking to this much longer, or if I expect any other babies. Just isn’t up to par with other apps, and seems to be all about the Money instead of the knowledge to these ladies whom may actually need it. I can see charging for an ad free version, but just to use common features or see articles… come on..Version: 4.23.2
✓ Deleted this app BEFORE I gave birthWhen I found out that I was pregnant, it was a no-brainer for me that I would download this pregnancy tracking app because I loved this company’s TTC/period tracking app! I was wrong. I am currently 33weeks pregnant and I had to delete the app because I just couldn’t handle it anymore. No good weekly updates on baby’s growth and development, no good picture representations of baby’s growth and development, and if you want access to the good articles/information you have to sign up for “Premium” and pay money (either monthly or yearly I believe). I was not paying money for this when I already have other amazing pregnancy tracking apps that give me this information for FREE. The community is nice for some things, but mostly I find it to be woman judging and being rude to each other or woman who DO NOT work in the medical field handing out their medical advice left and right. I know a lot of woman love this app, but it was just not for me. In my opinion, there are other apps out there that are better and not begging for money every other time you open up the app..Version: 4.5.7
✓ Not worth it if you don’t pay $$Downloaded this because I found out I was pregnant and already had the sister app “Glow” for tracking period cycles. For the first couple weeks I found the articles to be pretty interesting and you can log your symptoms and see how big your baby is and what is developing at what stage. But now I guess I’ve hit that mark where if I don’t fork over money I don’t get any of the helpful articles. Sure I can still see how big baby is getting and can still log symptoms but I really don’t need to log anything and I can find out how big they are from anywhere not to mention from ultrasounds where they give you an accurate measurement. I was really interested in the helpful articles and now all the notifications I receive from this app are about sales so I can unlock the articles. I find this to be completely useless and I’m surprised since I really liked the other app and used it religiously..Version: 4.19.9
✓ Abusive and prejudiceThe app is only acceptable if you’re using it non-socially. Just purely to track periods, ovulation or pregnancy. But..If you’re thinking of entering any of the forums/groups. Think twice. It’s a very unsupportive and abusive community with those that actually run, moderate and police the forums are highly prejudice and arguably incapable of doing so properly. They have many unfair rules and regulations within the guidelines but choose to enforce them infrequently. You might get your posts deleted, have your account suspended and or banned for merely mentioning the word women in a grouping term but meanwhile someone can be verbally threatening and abusive towards you and still happily be able to use the app with no repercussions. The entire dynamic of the social aspects in this app are flawed and highly unfair..Version: 4.8.10
✓ Hate this app because of discussion forumsI hated the community forums in the Glow app but they were on a different screen so I could avoid them. Now in the Nurture version of the app the community messages follow any and all articles. The forums are full of fake accounts and nasty people. People steal someone else’s pregnancy test photo and post it as their own. What weirdo (or fake account) does that?! They repeat a story in someone else’s post as their own, get called out on it, and then deny their actions. The questions are absurd, also making me think they’re fake accounts. Does anyone need to ask a community forum if they can get pregnant from anal sex? And oh btw, also asks how often women are having anal sex and how they like it best. Posting a story about being uncontrollably horny then detailing the resulting sexcapades with two other women sounds like a fake spam post to me. It has nothing to do with getting pregnant. The forums are fake and misleading and in the Nurture app they can’t be hidden. I don’t want any part of this app even if the forums are hidden. Delete..Version: 4.2.1
✓ Money spinnerI’ve used glow for 5 years, from tracking periods, to pregnancy loss, through my first child, and now my second. I’ve loved it! Until I got pregnant this time. Logging on now I find I’m bombarded with a cheap Chinese knock off looking site complete with tombola spinner, constantly trying to force you into their premium subscription - which has, and always will be entirely pointless! In order to force you to sign up you can no longer read articles daily about where you’re at in pregnancy, you’re limited to 5! Unless you pay a crazy amount. Forums are full of unsupportive abusive children who want to know if a cuddle is going to get them pregnant. They’ve ruined what was a wonderful app with a fantastic ethos of helping women. But hey sometimes they trick women into paying for a subscription they don’t need so as long as they make money eh?.Version: 4.9.9
✓ Good tracking, bad everything elseI like the tracking page - simple and all in one place - but the articles almost always feel weak. They feel like a high schooler’s book report - extremely short, lacking both facts and depth, and sometimes even relaying subjective opinion as truth. I realize they’re trying to give new info every day, which must be difficult, but even the milestone articles - weekly, each trimester, etc - are lame. Possibly the worst writing and info on any of my apps/sources. This is even true of the “Premium” content, super thin and of zero added value. The comment sections are horrible - full of gender guesses/ramzi theory at the beginning and baby bumps midway - zero discussion of anything relevant to the topics. The community boards are marginally better, but seem to be operated with zero oversight, with lots of sketchy info being traded among folks who think they know answers and often-scared moms looking for real support. I like the Glow app for tracking fertility/ periods and started my tracking on this Nurture app so all of my info is here, and I’ll probably stick it out for this pregnancy but I’ll definitely never use it again..Version: 4.5.4
✓ Good when it worksI had Nurture during my pregnancy but I knew I didn’t need it again so cancelled the subscription as you’re only pregnant for 9 months I didn’t need a yearly subscription and then it decided to delete my data and I can’t get it back!! It has it set as “healing from loss” and I can’t change it. As a loss mum it isn’t particularly fun to have my current pregnancy put as a loss and I can’t change it. I can’t get a “new” pregnancy as it “conflicts with my current pregnancy”. Do better..Version: 5.3.26
✓ Always pushing for paid membership….The app, like many others, is good for tracking pregnancy but constant advertisements for paid membership is seriously annoying..Version: 4.20.0
✓ Not showing correct weeks / daysJust downloaded the app. It’s telling me I’m 16 weeks along, which isn’t true. That’s supposed to be tomorrow. Now it’s just going to be confusing so I’ll probably delete the app. I don’t want to be told “yay, you’re another week down!” When I’m not, which leads to false excitement and then disappointment. There’s No option to change it either, and no, I didn’t get my due date wrong. My other apps all have the same due date and show the correct days / weeks..Version: 4.24.8
✓ Good to talk to other expecting mums, butGood to use as a forum to talk to other expecting mums but unless you actually pay a subscription fee you can only read a few articles on your pregnancy per week. I only use this app to keep track of how far along we are now and use other apps for information.Version: 4.9.18
✓ Needs content curationHelpful articles and tracking but the forums are a mess. Every second post is someone asking for a gender guess of their Ultra sound. If it was possible to filter those out the discussion would be great but the app is a waste of time..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Make you pay for everythingYou can’t do anything for free on this app anymore, pathetic..Version: 4.9.11
✓ Unable to do anythingI have used this with my partner previous and have been fine but when using this time I have been completely unable to use it due it it opens and doesn’t respond to anything. Stays completely frozen on the home screen..Version: 4.9.1
✓ Can not get past the welcome screen bugMy partner downloaded the app no problem. And invited me to download the App to be her partner on it, so we can go through it all together. Though I’m having issues as when I log in I am stuck on the “welcome” screen inviting me to start logging my data, no matter where I tap I can not move on from this screen, everything is greyed out. I have closed the app, deleted, re-downloaded, signed in, signed out and turned my phone on and off with still no luck. Any help would be appreciated so I can use the app as intended. Once I can use it properly I’ll review my rating..Version: 4.9.1
✓ Get an app that actually shows baby in 3DI loved this up until the recent update. The app is already riddled with ads and with as many user as they have they have to be making a ton of money off the ads and people who buy the premium subscription. But apparently it wasn’t enough money. The new update has not only added products reviews and recommendations, they also further restricted they amount of informational articles you can read a week. Keep in mind they already had premium only articles but now you can only read 5 articles a week. Not worth the time anymore. Much more worthwhile to get an app like baby center that actually shows your growing baby in 3D and how your body is changing. This app is not worth it anymore. I used to love the info and community within but this update shows the real intent of the creators. It’s a money grab and it’s sad and disappointing..Version: 4.9.11
✓ Very disappointed/ wouldn’t recommendSo I joined but also paid for the app and it just tracking ovulation it’s brilliant near enough accurate. When it comes to socialising on it, I had such a unhappy time. I pretty much was bullied and even from when I first joined I had to reach out to glow support over issues with people. It’s not checked on a lot by the admin so a lot of abusive behaviour happens. It’s a shame as if this was checked on regularly and also removed the nasty people then this would be a friendly place and perfect app. I ended my subscription due to this.Version: 4.18.21
✓ Concept is good…It doesn’t sync with the TTC app. So you have to renter any calendar info that you want to carry over. And despite having premium, I can’t access any of the premium content. It doesn’t function as well as the TTC app. I’ll probably move on from Glow products now that I’ve accomplished pregnancy..Version: 4.23.2
✓ Could be better.I wish glow was more upto date with it post. I mean yes the post are good but why are they like 4 years old. They could have more up to date Yungs information on there. Yes people comments are more in the now but post for 2014 I am not really interested in reading, so I just go to the comments and read what other people have up, look on others apps I use for the same thing or google information too..Version: 4.3.0
✓ Don’t waste your moneyDo not upgrade, it’s not worth it. Many other free apps are much better in ever way possible..Version: 4.23.1
✓ Bullying and underage girlsI joined so I could track my periods, ovulation, and eventual pregnancy. Initially I thought the community was a great addition, where I could speak to other women for support and have good conversation. But it quickly turned into a nasty experience. Majority of the conversations turned political, even when the topic had nothing to do with politics. The mass majority were 99% liberal extremist views, and a witch hunt to attack any of the remaining 1% conservative views. Especially if you’re a Christian. Majority of the women were nasty, rude, threatening, and condescending. The “report” feature and “mute/block” feature are completely ineffective, as the admin never responded or removed any of the terribly mean and disgusting content. Basically it’s just an app for bullies to fester and feed their egos. I’ve been trying for days to delete my account because I’m consistently being attacked by users, but my account is still there. I’ve been emailing admin about it for days and there’s been zero response. Let’s not even mention the slew of underage children posting photos of their vagina and discharge and asking how they can get pregnant to trap their boyfriends! This app is dangerous and legit has illegal underage activity and nudes. DO NOT get this app!!.Version: 4.16.5
✓ Latest update terrible and customer service lackingI used to really like this app, fun articles and features with a daily “fun fact” about your pregnancy. Then they updated it, removed free access to articles, and the daily facts. The free features that remain are very glitchy like the Timelapse, I always have trouble getting it to add my photos. Customer service used to respond and now they don’t. Most recently, I wanted to turn off the app badge icon notification, and the app doesn’t even show up in apple settings, which is a developer issue. I asked about this and got no response. I have all notifications turned off in the app and it still pops up. So annoying. Since they’ve stopped responding and the app has gotten so much worse I decided to stop using it, as there are better functioning/free ones out there anyways. Never using any glow apps again..Version: 5.2.1
✓ AnnoyedOkay so the app itself is great, I have been using it for years and years to track my cycles and used nurture and glow baby while I was pregnant and after my son was born. I used to use the app every single day and read all the info posted for each day. However now when I use the app, I am only allowed to read a limited number of articles and am no longer allowed to access half of the things I was able to before without paying for a premium membership? So disappointing..Version: 4.10.2
✓ Awful community policing but great pregnancy appI had this app for 3 years and I loved the articles and watching the baby grow on the homepage. I went through 2 pregnancies with this app. The community can be awesome for support with new babies and helpful in times of struggle. It’s an app full of women, so of course there is a lot of cattiness. Most of the time I can look past this, but the moderators of the app are clearly more one sided with their community policing. You can report offensive comments, which is good, but they pick and choose what they delete according to their personal opinions. I am very careful when I construct my responses to people because I like to be respectful and I don’t use insults or anger to try to get my point across. With controversial topics, people who don’t agree with me will report my comments and they get deleted. I never reported comments until just before I deleted this app, because I believe others are entitled to their opinions. Once I saw all of my respectful comments being deleted, I started reporting the comments where people were insulting others and using vulgar language to get their point across. These comments, that I’m sure others reported also, were never deleted. I finally deleted the app because I was tired of being shut down and not being allowed to have my own opinion..Version: 4.10.8
✓ Love Glow, Not NurtureI am a huge fan of the Glow app- it’s tracking helped me narrow down fertility and get pregnant super quick! However, Nurture is a different story. It’s really driven by logging daily, which I love, but the daily posts of information/articles are small tidbits and mostly just comment sections. Additionally, the “Insights” section is populated by your daily log and has my least favorite feature: comparison. I think this world, and the online world especially, drives enough comparison amongst women and mothers, this is not the place for it. I don’t want to feel bad because I haven’t exercised in 3 days and most mothers are exercising every day. And I don’t want every move I make in my pregnancy compared to what’s right for someone else. What really sealed it for me getting rid of this app was when I logged having slight cramps and the insight began with “A small cyst can form....”. I think it goes without saying that cramping can be normal and this is just encouraging fear and irrational thought in already overthinking expectant mothers. I’ll use Glow again after my pregnancy, but I’m moving on from Nurture..Version: 4.2.0
✓ InsensitiveMy pregnancy ended at 11 weeks and I reported to the app the I was no longer pregnant yet today I get a notification telling me I’m “13 weeks pregnant” fix your app please. This was not what I needed..Version: 4.18.21
✓ Update: Way too many ad pop upsUpdate: Uninstalled this app and the Glow period tracker app because of the absolutely HORRIBLE community. I don’t know why they allow such blatant bullying on their community and no one cares. Not even the people getting bullied. You can ask one simple question and get attacked by hundreds of women. It’s pathetic. Wouldn’t recommend this app or Glow. Plus the small 2D baby is not accurate. It needs more features. Ever since this app updated there have been non stop ads popping when I’m just scrolling through the community reading stuff. There have also been an increase in the amount of ads that are put in the way of a discussion. It’s highly annoying. If you’re going to increase your ads then remove the premium feature because it’s already not worth it. Now we have to PAY TO READ something that has like 3 sentences and sends you to a web link anyways. Why pay for something that you can find for free on the internet? Completely useless. Lastly, I’ve had to turn my notifications off because it keeps sending me a ton of notifications about stupid stuff and there’s no way to say which notifications you want. Now I’m just using this app to log my symptoms and that’s it because it’s becoming a horrible app..Version: 4.9.11
✓ Can’t scroll if I do anything else first!If I check my notifications, log, or look at the forecast or read the top articles first I can’t scroll on my home page so I’m forced to close out the app and reopen it and the first thing I have to do at that point is scroll the home page then once I do anything again like read the lower articles the home page becomes “stuck” and won’t scroll it’s truly frustrating but over all I like the app The other thing is there’s a lot of articles with comments that are years old and can’t tell unless there’s an ultrasound photo with the date on it so a lot of the time if you comment on relatable ones you won’t get any responses from the OP there needs to be a better system.Version: 4.24.7
✓ Don’t bother with premiumPremium isn’t worth the money. I didn’t realise i has upgraded and it took the money out of my account. Not worth the money at all. Premium gives you the articles which are short and not detailed at all. You are better off just googling what week you are in and ready on a website..Version: 4.13.1
✓ Forums are extremely religious basedI use to like this app because it gives you an article about what you may be experiencing on the week that your on during your pregnancy. It also allows mothers to connect on forums to help and support eachother that are feeling similar emotions/ symptoms during the same week of pregnancy. I use to enjoy this app until religious fanatics took over expressing their every opinion and rather than offering support to other mothers regardless of faith or bias they began criticizing and claiming that “god impregnated them for a reason and they should just pray and everything will be okay.” I find that preying on the vulnerable through religious influence wasn’t this apps main intention. But it has gotten out of control. I have unsubscribed and I feel those that control these app forums need to put a ban on religious comments as well as political ones..Version: 5.3.15
✓ LossToo hard to figure out how to report a pregnancy loss. Too confusing and so many ads..Version: 4.16.1
✓ Beware - content isn’t really free at allI used this app for my second pregnancy, and wished it had been around for my first because I found it so easy to use and enjoyed the content. I became pregnant again 10 months later and happily downloaded the app again only to find out that in the short time I’d been gone the developers had changed many of the features I’d previously enjoyed. I was disappointed but kept using the app. This week they made a change that caused free content to be limited to 5 articles per week. They push their “Premium” content on you to get full access to basic things that used to be free. Do not download this app unless you plan to pay for it. I won’t be because you only need it for 9 months, so that feels like a waste of money. It’s useless now if you plan to use it for free. I recommend The Bump and Pregnancy+ if you want a good experience. I used both for all 3 pregnancies and have been very happy. I’ll also be deleting the other Glow apps I used to enjoy unless the developers listen to the many women on the app that are rightfully upset about this..Version: 4.9.7
✓ Bad UpdateThis used to be my fave pregnancy app, but the recent Thanksgiving Day update has made it a chore to navigate. When I click on “Forecast”, it gives send me to the forecasts for two weeks ahead, but not by my own pregnancy dates (as I entered in the app and as appear on the Home Screen of the app). I’m 10weeks 3 days, and it has my week 11 starting yesterday (10w2d), but brings me automatically to enter my week 12 pregnancy log data. It feels really confusing and disorganized. I get the sense they wanted to push the update out on the holiday and did it before it was totally ready. Unless major fixes come soon, I will not be renewing my subscription. It is my second pregnancy using this app and I’m pretty bummed..Version: 4.22.1
✓ Great but.....I’m loving your community section but I feel you could improve it still: Search button: when searching to previous stories can you create it so it filters from the most recent down or add in another filter so you can see this? At the moment when you search for something it’s all over the place. Also when you search for the abbreviations could you add in the other results so it connects. Eg: EPO = Evening Primrose Oil etc Book marks: can you have a book mark for up voted stories (not comments, the whole story) so you can go back to favourite stories you upvoted or loved?.Version: 4.2.1
✓ If it wasn’t for the history…My oldest is 5.5. I have used the suite of glow products since I was trying to get pregnant with him (then through IVF, pregnancy, baby tracking, and then babies 2 & now 3). If it wasn’t for the fact that these apps hold so much historical information about my other pregnancies and babies, I would NOT use them! The free version is just inundated with adds to buy the apps…there’s contactable a “sale” and it is the most irritating app I have ever used! I want to open it, put in the fetal heartbeat and other stats from my doctor. Take clicking out of 5 different ads in order to get to the screen to do so. Developer - FIX THIS! If I say I just want the free app, stop trying to sell me!!! I get it…I’m missing out on all the extras by not buying…but stop selling! The apps used to be so simple and easy. Now there’s a million distracting things, all about the sell. If you can find a better app, DO IT! I’m trapped….Version: 4.24.5
✓ Logging in after a lossIt was disappointing and hard to login 2 years after a loss and have the app say I was 140+ weeks pregnant and ask if I had the baby yet. I used the function on Glow to say I was healing from a loss, but the two didn’t connect and it kept counting. It also didn’t have a due date calculator, just somewhere to enter the due date (but I wasn’t sure). I’ll be logging out and deleting this app and finding another one..Version: 4.18.12
✓ Fun app with opportunities for improvementI’m really enjoying this app ! It’s very interactive and informative esp for expecting, ttc or new mums. The articles are very useful to read- however; sometimes, it repeats and the info do not correlate with the current week of pregnancy..Version: 4.21.1
✓ No responseI like this app however, I had to change my pregnancy status due to a miscarriage. The only way to do this was healing from a loss. I had to put what week I was for the loss etc. At the time I had yet to have the d and c so had to make up the dates. I would much prefer to just state I’d had a miscarriage not give all the details. Also, my status is now stuck on healing from a loss and I can’t change it. I doubt I will have another pregnancy and I don’t wish to continue to read quotes about miscarriage. This feature I feel needs to be changed as I now don’t use the app for this reason. I’m aware of my miscarriage and don’t wish Ron have reminders and would like this option to be included. I have sent off two complaints and still haven’t heard back..Version: 4.19.10
✓ Can be frustratingI persevered with this app throughout my pregnancy, but was ultimately disappointed. I did like the calendar option, it allowed me to look up how many weeks pregnant I would be at certain dates of the year. It was the main reason I kept the app, because otherwise I think my 3 stars would be too generous. The articles are very hit/miss - some useful and well written/researched, most were not. Also mostly outdated, like they haven’t been updated in years, or they haven’t taken feedback in the comments below into consideration. Timing of articles was strange - like the ‘pregnancy announcement’ article that came out on 40+ weeks pregnant. Speaking of 40+ weeks pregnant, the app basically gives up after this time. There’s nothing really to read, despite the fact that majority of first time mothers to past their due date. I’m 40+6 today, and there’s nothing, unless I had updated (ie - paid) to use the ‘premium’ version.. but judging how the rest of the app has been managed, it wouldn’t have been worth the bother. Made it to 40+6 weeks, still pregnant, and finally deleted the app. It definitely has potential but in great need of a face lift and to listen to the feedback they’ve been given along the way..Version: 4.4.3
✓ Horrible communityIt’s awful for bullying. And the boards with eve, ovulation tracker, and nurture are all the same. I think it would be beneficial for it to be separate. Not one community. Easier to protect young ones from from being treated like their stupid. Also need information on how to delete a pregnancy- it was a pseudo pregnancy that I didn’t realize until a doctors appointment. It won’t let me alter or change or delete it. So it’s now considered a baby that I gave birth too!! I simply deleted the app so I would stop getting notifications 🙄 if that could be adjusted I’d appreciate it. Also the ability to turn off the community option. I don’t think glow’s community set up is good or very helpful. There are lots of apps with informative articles and Mother’s where they do not treat others as if they are stupid. It’s more like a “vagina Facebook” negative. Or more of a response time in removing pages or groups that you have left- obviously for a reason?.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Worthless without premiumWould’ve given it one star if I could have. I’ve used the flow app for years for free bc it still offers the bare minimum for what I needed. Now that I’m pregnant I decided to try the nuture app. The layout looks like it’d be nice but I’ll never know bc I refuse to pay so much for an app that I’ll only care about for less than 9 months. Mind you I already have 2 kids so none of the info is really new but still. Maybe I’m just preggo but it absolutely pisses me off that this app literally offers nothing other than letting you track how far you are without paying whatever ridiculous price they’re asking. And then the nerve to constantly promote buying it. Idc if it’s on sell. It’s always on sell. Just offer more than telling me I’m 6 wks along. Or drop the prices offered to something reasonable. $8/month for 3 months, $4/ month for a year or $80 for a life time? Ma’am/sir, I’m not gonna be pregnant for a year or still use the app let alone a lifetime. Make it make sense please..Version: 4.18.3
✓ Only good for premium users nowGlow Nurture recently updated and made it so that users can only read 5 articles per week unless they pay for premium. This is very disheartening as in the beginning of my pregnancy I would read at least 2 articles a day (for example: “your baby on day ___” and “___ weeks ___ days”). These articles got me excited for my pregnancy and allowed me to connect with other moms who were at the same stage as I am. If you do the math, 2 articles a day is 14 per week which is way over the allotted 5 that Glow allows non premium users to read. Now I can’t even read 1 article per day. It’s very frustrating and disappointing. Some argue that “Glow needs to make money somehow,” but they have many ads that give them a decent payout. Also, it has recently come to light that the information in their daily articles is readily available on a free educational website verbatim. This makes it even more ridiculous that non premium users cannot read these articles. After this pregnancy I will be uninstalling the app. The only reason I still have it is for the community pages..Version: 4.9.11
✓ Ads, banners, unusableBanner, banners, ads, ads, ads, BANNERS, ads nonstop. Terrible app..Version: 4.24.14
✓ Day 1 is always wrong!!!Downloaded app and used 3 different emails to register as i thought i was doing something wrong. Day 1 of my cycle, no matter how many time i input, it is not recording correctly. The first time should be Nov 25th but records Dec 2 and doesn't let me amend. Second time after deleting and downloaded again - records as Nov 29th. Please sort this out. Loads of comment about this inside app.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Won’t stop emailing meI am still getting so many emails about “when I go into labour” even after telling the app that I already had the baby!!! Like what does it take to get the message across? I can’t even imagine what this app does to people who LOSE their babies..Version: 4.19.10
✓ Informative, But AbusiveThe app is awesome if you’re using it to track your pregnancy and read some informative articles on pregnancy based on each week/day you’re at. The community aspect needs improvement and overall monitoring and/or moderating. The amount of bullying on this app is appalling. Especially with such a variety of young adults and adults. Quite shameful. Men/women post on there wanting opinions and the moment you don’t go along with them, you are bullied and mom-shamed. Being someone who is pregnant and dealing with depression throughout her pregnancy, this is so extremely toxic. You report these horrible comments and nothing happens to them. Some are very nice and up to have a nice and positive discussion or just respectfully disagree. But quite a few on there prefer to immediately go and call you names like you’re back in high school and talk about your bad parenting. 😔 Overall, if you want to use the app with the sole purpose to track or read informative articles, a decent app to use. Would rank 3/5 for that alone. The bullying and lack of attention of moderators brings it down to a 2/5. Not worth the abuse or hassle. Deleted my account and the app. I’ll just stick to books..Version: 4.18.21
✓ Ads, pressure to go PremiumNurture is the worst. There are constant pop-ups pushing their premium subscription and the majority of the app is greyed out to make sure you feel like you’re missing out on the best it has to offer if you choose not to pay. Some of their “fun facts” aren’t really fun at all, like this morning’s “If you’ve had no symptoms as you enter your sixth week, you may be on the lookout for signs that you are in fact pregnant”. Wow, thanks for helping me feel super supported and reassured! The user interface is so busy and cluttered, and the pop-ups telling me to go premium and the count downs for the premium subscription sale make it so hard to navigate around to the features that you actually want to use, like, um, tracking your pregnancy, for example. The community has zero community vibe and feels really shallow, like “hey I need some validation from strangers on the internet” kinda vibe. Also get the sense they collect my logs and info I add into the app for their own data. I don’t like it at all..Version: 4.24.12
✓ So many “almosts”This is almost a good app (and set of apps). It’s useful, the tracking seems accurate and reliable and is highly useful. But I am never actually enjoying the experience. It feels like I’m proving more value to the glow series than I’m getting back value... I thought maybe it was because I was an early adopter and they needed more time to make it great and polish. But 18months in and I’m still waiting. I don’t mind if you want to (securely, privately, anonymously) aggregate data to help provide greater insight. But I also expect a lot from it. The “premium articles” are pretty basic. The UX in the app is basic. The predictions are really fantastic, and accurate. (I also want more control over what parts I see, the community is a bit “meh” and I’d like to turn off the noise. I’d rather see you tap into an existing community than developing your own....).Version: 4.8.10
✓ Bug fix?Great app but I often try and open a topic to be greeted with a blank screen. I also have issues with opening any pictures?! I have all the latest updates for the iPhone but it makes no difference. I have to keep closing the app to be able to see certain content very frustrating!.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Worthless against bullying ❗️updated reviewThis app’s community is suppose to be a safe place where woman can ask questions to other moms about pregnancy, their children and anything dealing with getting pregnant to motherhood. It is anything but that, there is a lot of cyber bullying going on and glow does nothing about it instead they will suspend your account so you cannot access communication with other mothers who may be experiencing the same motherhood things that you are experiencing. There is no need for a controversy group or any group that has nothing to do with nothing, this isn’t Facebook or Instagram why is there talk of politics, or gender and sex or any other controversial topic that can spark confrontation. Why dont they do anything about the Mommy shaming and bullying 🤔 why?? Your account can get suspended for any little thing, what is this school??, if you contact them about being bullied and harassed they will literally do nothing stay away from this app ❗️❗️❗️❗️ In response to your response to this review ..i have been cyber bullied in your app and literally sent screen shots to you guys AND reported the people who were nasty to me and you guys literally did nothing but ban MY account so your hallmark generic response on here is a crock of bull.Version: 4.1.1
✓ Not greatSome info is helpful before 40 weeks, however the community piece is terrible. So many unrelated posts and women looking to argue. Also have to buy a lot of the articles. I wish there was a way to keep people's comments relevant to what information is being provided. Overall not a great app and definitely not somewhere to go for support. Also ENOUGH with the cord blood banking info. Clearly Glow is being paid quite a bit to continuously shove this down its users throats. Some weeks the polls are about this 2-3x a week. The information past 40 weeks is a complete joke. Pregnancy announcements? DIY crib mobiles? This is when women need the most advice and encouragement and the app turns into a watered down version with useless info and minimal articles. Such a let down. And for the love of god, fix the comments filtering— so sick of seeing comments from women going back to 2015 at the top of lists!.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Good AppPaid for a year before I got pregnant and used it up to now that my subscription has run out. There isn’t much difference between paying and not paying. Articles can be very short and uninformative. Most of them are. Now I am not a member I receive emails with daily updates on my pregnancy which I didn’t get when I was a member. Also, most of people’s comments are from way back, years and years ago of updates. You can tell by other people commenting and the amount of likes a comment gets the date of the comment is not even stated. All this is quite misleading. I wouldn’t pay for the app again..Version: 4.19.2
