I have only been able to take two photos and I like how it can put them together in a video and that you can see where to position yourself for your photo. Now it’s saying it needs permission from my phone for the camera which i have checked that it does already. It provides a link to follow with this alert but the link goes to March of dimes but the link is no good any way. Could be done better and would be great to have ### 1/5 — Lost all the pictures *2019-02-12, version 2.1.7* I was using this app since the beginning of pregnancy and was looking forward to the final movie of all my belly pictures. On the 39th week, after taking the picture it showed up to be the only picture in the gallery and all my previous pictures were lost. Emailed the app support team but there has been no response with the fix. It is very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Too many issues, very disappointing *2018-10-21, version 2.1.7* I love the idea of this app. It’s a simple way to create a video of your bump growing, which has been really fun. However, I started noticing issues when trying to edit my video. When I try to add one of the sound options, it just loads and loads (spinning wheel) and never actually finishes loading. I have not been able to hear any of the sound options nor add them to my video. I did not care too much about the sound though it was frustrating, so I kept taking pictures throughout my pregnancy and recently had my baby and completed the video. I finalized the movie and went to the ‘share’ button to save it, but am unable to. When I click ‘save to camera roll,’ I receive a message that says ‘user denied access.’ I never intended to share on Facebook and now that appears to be my only option to export the video (though I have no idea if that will work either because I haven’t tried it yet). I am extremely frustrated to have been making this video for 9 months and now am unable to even save it to my phone to share. Please update your app so it actually works or stop promoting it. ### 3/5 — Great movie idea but weight tracker isn’t working *2018-07-16, version 2.1.7* Love the video with the photos. I’m just finding that my weight tracker isn’t showing properly on the graph. All my weight dots are along the bottom axel even though I’ve gained weight and should be following along the blue line. ### 1/5 — Run away ...this app is very bad *2018-05-22, version 2.1.7* Full of bugs ...even the support is not working.... I took pictures of my pregnancy during 6 months EVERYDAY and the app removed all of them. I can’t said how disappointed and sad I can be. To the developer...i will not pregnant every day. It is just make me so sad.... 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Can’t save video *2018-02-02, version 2.1.4* Every time I try and save my video the app crashes. I’ve re downloaded it three times. Same problem. ### 1/5 — awful!!! 😤 *2017-12-22, version 2.1.4* real bad app. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2017-11-18, version 2.1.3* Love the idea of this app. And it was working for me for almost 25 weeks but now it’s always crashing. Esp when I try to add something to the diary. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to loose my pictures I’ve taken ### 2/5 — Recent crashing! *2017-11-17, version 2.1.3* Been loving this app but in last few weeks, it crashes every time I try to make a new diary entry. Frustrating! Even more frustrating that when I go to "support," I find a message that "this form has been deactivated." Pretty bummed at this point! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2017-10-06, version 2.1.2* Don’t work any more please fix when I open app it shuts down and won’t open ### 1/5 — Lame app *2017-08-25, version 2.1.2* I was excited by all the positive reviews of this app, and wanted to use it to make a baby bump video, but after actually downloading the app, I promptly deleted it. It all seemed very old-school and unprofessional. It looks like a 10-year-old designed it and is not easy to use: I kept getting errors when trying to access my photos. Too much effort. ### 3/5 — Weight Tracker Doesn't Work *2017-08-04, version 2.1.2* Even if I only gain a pound or two, shouldn't I see the pink dots move up to show pounds of weight gain? All of my weight dots for the three weeks that I've had this app are down on the x-axis. ### 3/5 — Getting frustrated- *2017-07-12, version 2.1.2* The app itself has worked fine. Although now I want to edit my movie and add text and music. However: whenever I click the text symbol it closes my app. It just won't work. Please advise! ### 1/5 — Ha borrado todo *2017-06-18, version 2.1.2* La aplicación ha borrado absolutamente TODO después de casi 17 de embarazo y haciendo fotos. No la recomiendo. ### 2/5 — Well...:/ *2017-02-25, version 2.1.2* I really wanted to like it but little things like can't insert text, the app closes itself (iPhone SE) editing the photo the second time you can only make it bigger, in case it turns out that it was too big, you have to delete it and start all over again :( ### 3/5 — Good idea, poor execution *2017-02-18, version 2.1.2* It freezes when I try to align my belly with the app outline. Frustrating. ### 3/5 — Not pleased *2017-01-29, version 2.1.2* I like this app well enough but it's been giving me lots of problems recently. It probably just needs an update, but it won't even open sometimes. Now it won't let me log in. I keep trying to delete the app and redownload it. It's a big hassle every time I want to use the app and it only works some of the time. I'm really frustrated because I don't have my photos saved anywhere else and I'd like to be able to retrieve them somehow in case the app never starts working properly again, but right now I can't. Please fix this issue asap ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2016-07-06, version 2.1.1* Bad update got released. None of the features work. Can't edit photos, photo overlay doesn't work, body template is the wrong size now. Please fix. ### 2/5 — It reset my movie *2016-04-28, version 2.1.1* I enjoyed taking belly pictures during my pregnancy. However, once the app was updated (and I finally figured out how to log back in), my pictures were all gone. Thankfully they were all saved to my camera roll, but still....so sad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy, clunky, freezes, unusable *2023-10-15, version 2.1.7* Worked okay in 2021 with my first pregnancy — clunky and slow but made cute videos and app eventually worked. Now in 2023, it is so glitchy and freezes so often I can’t even log in and use it without it timing out. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Pity. Cute idea but lousy functionality. ### 1/5 — Not great *2023-10-10, version 2.1.7* Took weekly photos from 10 weeks and then went to take 20 and all photos were gone from my account and I was kicked out. Logged back in, everything gone! Luckily I saved all photos to my phone! Very poor! Worst app! ### 1/5 — Sembrava interessante e invece… *2023-09-19, version 2.1.7* Carina l’idea delle foto in sequenza peccato che improvvisamente riapro l’app al 7mese e come per magia tutti i dati e le foto raccolte negli ultimi mesi sono state eliminate. Nessun modo di recuperarli. Rabbia a 5 stelle, voto 1 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2023-09-08, version 2.1.7* I used this 2 years ago and it worked well now it does not work and does not store my photos and it cannot connect to the server ### 1/5 — Fotos einfach unwiderruflich verschwunden *2023-08-11, version 2.1.7* Die Grundidee der App ist sicher eine tolle - wenn dann aber nach 24 Wochen täglicher Fotos einfach alle Fotos verschwunden sind und sich nicht mehr herstellen lassen, bringt mir das leider auch nichts außer Frust und Enttäuschung! Kann die App leider absolut nicht empfehlen! ### 1/5 — Lost everything *2021-05-29, version 2.1.7* Lost all my photos up to 37 weeks. ### 1/5 — At 24 weeks the app deleted EVERYTHING *2020-10-20, version 2.1.7* I was happy to have somewhere to log my photos and make a “movie” as I’m pregnant with twins. I started a week after I found out I was pregnant. Yesterday I went to log a photo and EVERYTHING is gone. Still has me marked at 24 weeks but everything else I put in the app is gone. Won’t even save a current picture. So infuriating that half way through I’ve lost it all. ### 1/5 — Unable to slow down the pictures for final video *2020-09-28, version 2.1.7* I have collected pictures on this App but disappointed w the movie editor. Doesn’t give me much option other than to add music. I saved the video clip and sent it to my camera roll Nd the format is not correct. Only shows a corner of the video on the final save. I like the music but help!? The pictures go by too fast and no way to slow down. ### 1/5 — Video feature doesn’t work *2020-05-07, version 2.1.7* I downloaded the app as I am towards the end of pregnancy and thought your video was a cute idea. Adding photos I’d taken throughout pregnancy was easy enough. Unfortunately when you go to edit the video, the sound options don’t work. On the app the photos become a cute little slideshow. Unfortunately when you try to save the video it is completely messed up and only shows the lower left corner of each picture, no bump at all, which means you can only view the video in the app :( Please fix. I would love to have this as a cute memory, but for now it was just waste of several hours of my time :( ### 1/5 — If I could give zero stars, I would *2019-04-04, version 2.1.7* This app is so buggy. The reminders don’t work, the photo rarely lines up with the guidelines no matter what I do, and the customer support is even worse which I didn’t think was possible. Save yourself time and frustration. Go with another app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! Please add iPhone 6s+ resolution support *2017-03-24, version 2.1.2* This app is hands down the best pregnancy video making app. Kindly update the app to support iPhone 6s+ resolution. It would be perfect then. ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2015-05-19, version 2.1.1* I've been using this for 29 weeks now and I love it - it reminds me to take photos of myself (I use a mirror). The updated version has been really helpful with a weight tracker. I tested out making the video and seems pretty easy. When I'm done I will post it to FB with a picture of the baby as my announcement. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-05-12, version 2.1.1* Great app!!! Very helpful, fun to use! Thank you Cinemama! ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2015-04-28, version 2.1.1* How I wish this app was around 2 years ago!!! I spent so much time trying to do this same thing with my first pregnancy and it doesn't look half this good. Love, love, love this. Can't wait for my movie... and my little girl :-) ### 5/5 — New update MUCH BETTER:) *2015-02-19, version 2.1* I seriously loved this app it was something my husband and I did together every few days... Recent update was causing crashes but Is now fixed once you update your iPhone! We are very happy to have our app back!! ### 5/5 — Works for me. LOVE the app *2015-02-13, version 2.1* Nice app and works fine for me. Have all my info from updates. ### 5/5 — Great memory *2013-11-07, version 1.5.1* What a blessing this app has been! I kept a diary and the pictures during my whole pregnancy. I then printed out the diary and put it into a scrapbook. Everyone LOVED the video that was the result of the pictures. Such a special memory that we can now treasure forever. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-05-27, version 1.4* So easy to use, love the belly photo guides, and the final video is great!! Only way it could be better is if you had the option to add multiple photos on one day, to create more of a story :) ### 5/5 — Love this! So unique! *2013-04-09, version 1.4* I love this app - I haven't had any trouble with crashes maybe its been updated. I love the tips, and it lets you control if/when to post to Facebook. I'm definitely sharing this with my pregnant friends! ### 5/5 — Best-in-Class Pregnancy App! *2013-03-08, version 1.4* My partner and I are thrilled with this App! A few times a week I take her photo as her belly grows and this App stitches together the photos to make a stop-motion video. I've downloaded and tried out dozens of Apps trying to achieve this kind of functionality, but only cinemama delivers! We are really looking forward to continuing to take photos during our pregnancy and having something special to share with our baby after she is born and she becomes old enough to appreciate this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
