### 2/5 — Only somewhat helpful

*2024-11-08, version 43.0.0*

This is a benefit provided by my company, and while I appreciate the option, the support is uneven. I think the most useful element of this service is provided caregiving resource suggestions, but in many cases I’ve found more appropriate options on my own. The social worker who is advising me is helpful but the people who answer general questions and connect with specialists need some training.

### 2/5 — not very helpful and also also doesn’t work

*2024-09-19, version 43.0.0*

The benefits and support tabs have literally never loaded for me. Otherwise, all this app seems to do is generate todo lists for me and try to feed me listicles when I can get better information elsewhere. very disappointed that my employer pays for this based on the “help“ I’m actually getting from it.

### 3/5 — Fix your sign up and login flow

*2024-07-17, version 43.0.0*

Please add sign up and login success rate as a kpi, I think you’ll find it broken. 
I get logged out for no reason and then put in this endless loop where it asks me to login or sign up, I select login, enter credentials and I’m back at the first screen being asked to sign up or login

### 3/5 — Agreed we need better web/desktop support

*2024-03-18, version 22.0.1*

When it comes to reading resources, I’m not going to be only using my phone. Cleo needs better web and desktop support, it’s silly that I can only read messages on the website but not anything else

### 2/5 — A hit and a miss

*2024-02-13, version 22.0.1*

The content and support this app offers is fantastic. It really is next level. 

The issue is the app itself.

1. Every time I open the app a get a screen stating ‘Cleo is updating’ EVERYTIME! This is infuriating and not aligned with a premium app experience. This loading page can stay on the screen more than a minute, then the impetus to use the app is lost.

2. When writing a message in the apps message platform, if you navigate away from the app of check some information in a different platform, the carefully written message is lost.

3. Links shared by the Cleo team do not open requiring the html address to be copied to a web browser. You then cannot navigate away from the page or explore other pages and have to return to the app and follow the process again. 

The actual support I have received through the app is fantastic and the poor rating is only for the function and usability of the app.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2024-01-14, version 21.0.1*

The app keeps crashing. Much of the information is hard to navigate and I frequently end up going to other apps to check for what I need to know. The videos need to use better microphone so the audio doesn’t have hissing noise.

### 2/5 — App crashes on boot on iPad

*2023-12-17, version 18.0.1*

Title says it all.

### 2/5 — Limited app features

*2023-12-14, version 18.0.1*

I want to be able to search the chat for info I was given earlier . Also would like to have in app video features for meeting with the coaches or outside folks like LCs etc. seamless experience on desktop as well as iPad etc.

### 3/5 — Sound on the videos in app don’t work

*2023-11-20, version 16.0.1*

Sound not working in the app where there are videos please fix this …

### 3/5 — Wish there was a desktop version

*2023-07-07, version 10.0.1*

I love the support from Cleo, but as a new mom with carpal tunnel in both hands, it’s extremely uncomfortable for me to use this app solely on my phone, especially when it comes to having discussions with my Cleo Support guide (would be much easier & better for my hands to type my messages on a computer/laptop). Ive been told this is for privacy reasons but there are lots of medical resources accessible on desktop. 

Also, lately the app keeps crashing for me whenever I open up my messages. I’ve tried uninstalling & reinstalling the app but the issue continues. I hope they fix this bug.

### 2/5 — Pretty buggy

*2023-05-27*

New organisation of app makes it hard to find stuff. Can’t update profile when life circumstances change. Not the greatest app

### 1/5 — Nothing loads

*2023-05-07, version 8.0.1*

This app is trash. My husbands company pays for this but we can’t access anything because nothing loads, not the app or the webpage once you log in. It’s like taunting you with all the emails about all the wonderful perks they offer but you can’t use any of them.. or find anyway to contact anyone

### 3/5 — Did not meet expectations

*2023-05-03, version 8.0.1*

The app is weird, information is not really well organized and I can not find a way to invite my spouse

### 1/5 — Faulty app

*2025-12-15, version 61.0.0*

The activation code doesn’t arrive even after checking junk box. Couldn’t add my wife.

### 1/5 — Quality has gone down. DO NOT RECOMMEND

*2025-04-08, version 51.0.0*

Constant guide turnover. My first guide was amazing 3 years ago. Really felt like she gave me individualized and personalized support. Now I might as well be talking to an AI agent. Feels like I’m just a number and there’s constant guide turnover. I used to also be able to connect directly to specialists and develop a personalized plan. Now they completely got rid of them, and I have to take a class or it’s a group session with a specialist. Are they going to spend this group session to customize a plan for my kid’s specific needs and follow-up? No. Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure. I used to highly recommend Cleo. No more!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-12-16, version 49.0.0*

Bug on the log in flow

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-11-08, version 43.0.0*

Garbage app. Can’t log in. Just loops back to the sign in screen over and over. Reset password twice and still doesn’t work. They should have a desktop site, not just an app.

### 1/5 — No timely support available

*2024-09-11, version 43.0.0*

When you have an appointment with counselor they cancel on last min. We booked this appointment 1 week ago. Be mindful that the counselor have very less appointment time through out the day. They will keep cancelling. So basically this app is of no use when you need help. Such a waste of time and resources

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-02-13, version 22.0.1*

Constantly having a message saying the app is updating. Tried to uninstall and reinstall, didn’t work. Every time I need to screenshot the issue to customer service, really ? Poor experience it is a shame when you need support. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — App does not open up in IPad

*2024-02-12, version 22.0.1*

Hi team, the app does not open up in iPad, crashes immediately

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve used

*2024-02-08*

First review, worst app I’ve used. Despite multiple feedback, the app keeps requiring an update every other day, and it will not notify you of messages in your Cleo inbox, until you click and realize you have to update the app, yet again, or else you can’t see any of your messages, webinar sign ups etc. 

The app will log you out multiple times without notification, and you won’t get a message notifications. It took weeks to realize it and multiple messages to tech support. It’s very poor for supposedly established, well supported company like Cleo.

### 1/5 — App crashes every time upon opening on iPad Pro

*2023-12-27, version 18.0.1*

I have a 2022 iPad Pro 11 inch with latest OS system, but this app always crashes and is never able to be opened on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Video sound works on and off

*2023-12-03, version 17.0.1*

I’ve been trying to watch some of the birth education videos but the sound doesn’t work. I’ve tried uninstalling, re installing, it works maybe once and then the next time I try to access it it doesn’t. I’ve verified other apps have their sound working just fine and I’m just using my speaker.  

It’s been quite frustrating as I can’t access the videos any other way but in the app.

### 5/5 — Seriously the best support for parents

*2026-01-13, version 61.0.0*

Love my guide. She makes it so much easier to navigate parenting,  it’s like having a coach, therapist, and best friend :)

### 5/5 — Great Support

*2026-01-01, version 61.0.0*

We were matched with Lee who immediately calmed
my fears about having a baby. Chatting with an expert gave me far more confidence and encouraged me to speak up for what I wanted. She was incredible at connecting me into other resources too

### 5/5 — Disappointed by lack of email notifications

*2025-09-21, version 57.0.0*

We reached out for support but never heard back. It turned out the response was in the in-app messaging and there was never an email or sms notification along with it.

Overall, really disappointed with the quality of the app and the lack of notifications. It’s holding back what could be a good service.

### 5/5 — Seriously the best support for parents

*2025-07-16, version 53.0.0*

Love my guide. She makes it so much easier to navigate parenting,  it’s like having a coach, therapist, and best friend :)

### 5/5 — Wonderful app, wonderful experts.

*2025-03-13, version 50.0.0*

The app works flawlessly (just minor hiccups but nothing dramatic) and so far all the experts I’ve talked with have been very kind and helpful.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2023-10-20, version 14.4.1*

So wonderful that my employer gives us this service free!!

### 5/5 — Cleo is a wonderful app!!

*2023-07-10, version 10.0.1*

Highly recommend!!

### 5/5 — Great app, I will continue to tell people abo it this wonder app

*2022-09-29, version 5.14.1*

Love it !!!!

### 5/5 — Mel Q-Taylor

*2022-09-01, version 5.14.1*

The support & solution finding is always there when i need it the most, for both my family and me.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2022-07-27, version 5.14.1*

I am so lucky this is a perk with my job…it’s amazing to have someone just a text away with helpful advice and resources. Parenting is overwhelming at times and sometimes you just need an expert.
