Fine app in the first trimester
I liked this app for the first few months. But well into the second trimester and there are fewer good daily things but it still notifies me twice a day to open the app. Today I opened it to wildly incorrect information which seems very common. It says that at 26 weeks the baby is the size of a basketball, and is 37 cm, which is 14.5 inches, which is less than half of a basketball. I get that the app is targeted towards men but the dude attitude of it kind of makes it sound like my baby wants to be a rude person or something.Show lessUnhealthy.
New fathers… DONT GET THIS APP. My wife and I are expecting our first baby very soon. She suggested this app to me months ago as she uses similar apps. Her and I now both regret it. This app is extremely anxiety inducing. When I talked to my wife about it and showed her what this app was telling me, she was APPALLED. This app just makes a soon-to-be father feel worthless. It’s degrading. It assumes you’re going to be a terrible father before you even get the chance. It actually started to separate my wife and I emotionally. After we talked about it and will soon delete the app, we’re right back on track. If expecting fathers are reading this… you matter. Your feelings matter. It’s tough for both sides. Be there for your wife, yes. She’s dealing with much more than us. But don’t let something like this dumb app make you feel worthless. See ya “Hi Daddy”. I regret wasting money on you.Show lessThe app is informative, yet VERY ODD.
I am grateful to be a father. However, I found the onboarding process—specifically the verbiage—to be odd and a bit confusing.
Upon joining the app, I noticed that it was a bit difficult to comprehend, and there are certain features that, in my opinion, should be worded differently.
For example, when the app details the current status of the baby’s growth, it presents an option to view it in a general way and then in a “naughty” way. Why would you use the word naughty? It wasn’t even naughty.
There’s plenty more, but I highly recommend the developer rephrase some of the sentences to make them more palatable and enjoyable for the user.Show less
