Pregnancy + | Tracker App

Really love this app. It answers questions I have weekly as well as helps me keep track of my birthing plan,weight and it's pretty cool you get to upload monthly belly pictures for progression. As well as keeping track of your appointments. Anything after 14 weeks is only available to you when purchasing the full app but honestly I didn't mind the ONE TIME FEE because all other apps don't do half of which this one does. Nothing in life is free and if you can't afford the chump change of 4.99 one time then your in for a HUGE awakening because babies are way more pricey lol. Any who. This app is helping me prepare for labor. I am at 33 weeks right now and yesterday I woke up wondering when its time for certain things, I open the app and the first thing I happened to read was an answer to what I had been wondering.

The images it provides of you and the baby are fantastic. The overall interface is also very well done- easy to navigate, love that it updates daily. I’m only giving three stars because the actual info provided is often not very helpful (I don’t think most people need a full article to tell them pregnancy during sex is safe these days) or a bit off the right timeline (I’m not quite 14wks and it told me today the baby can now hear me, which is just wrong). The sizes are a bit off because it always shows where you will be at the end of the week, but doesn’t tell you that— at 13 weeks, 0 days it will say “you’re now...” and give you info that any other source shows for 14 weeks, including your doctor. I overlooked a lot of the faults for the things I do like and kept using, but just found out I’ll get charged to continue in about 2 days, which isn’t worth the money to me for information that may have small inaccuracies.

I’m 29 weeks pregnant with twins and have used several apps to track my pregnancy. Out of all the ones i use this is by far my favorite and best one. I love all the features. However at 29 weeks pregnant i can honestly say some of the daily articles are recycled. You read similar articles about things that was already touched earlier in your pregnancy with the app. How many times are you going to tell me about morning sickness, backpains etc. My other biggest complaint is that there are literally no app that caters to a twin pregnancy... this gives a little weekly paragraph about twins. But there should be a feature that lets you set it to twin pregnancy and all of your content is twin related. Because let me tell you as a first time mom and having twins not many places you can go for more info outside of your doctor. The app should really improve on that ...

The interactive images are beautifully rendered. But like other reviews have noted, the articles are bland, out of date with current medical advice and uninformative. For example, it says to be limit fish to 1-2 times a week and only 1 oily fish, while most OBs are increasingly emphasizing the importance of the omegas in oily fish. Other articles are the typical round up of vapid takes on the usual topics of what to eat and buying clothes and talking to your doctor if you feel down. These could be much more interesting! Also, in an article about possible Down syndrome testing in early pregnancy, they say only that “some women prefer to find out during their pregnancy so they can learn more about the condition and what special care is required.” It undermines the pain and extreme difficultly women wrestle with as they decide whether to keep a pregnancy with confirmed chromosomal problems. Pretending that doesn’t exist at all is really weird whitewashing. It’s not a political issue.

I really loved this app up until 14 weeks. After that, you have to pay. Listen, I work for a mobile app company so I understand that apps need to make money somehow, but I agree with other reviewers that the developer goes about it the wrong way. I don’t want to pay for an app that I won’t be using past my due date. There are plenty of ways to keep your users active past this “cut-off” time of 14 weeks while still being able to monetize. Unobtrusive ads in a free version and an ad-free version is one way. It’s how so many apps do business these days and users will understand. Just shutting your app off completely to users after 14 weeks unless they pay feels like a crappy way to make money off your users. Especially since this will be a temporary app for so many. This is a crowded app space and there are so many other free apps that offer me the weekly updates I want, so I no longer use this app. I hope the developers reconsider their paid structure one day bc it is truly a wonderful app up until 14 weeks.
