Peace of Mind!

Great app! It made it so easy for us to keep everyone updated throughout the delivery process. Simple, convenient, and gave us all peace of mind. Highly recommend!

Response from developer

Thank you so much, Luna. Peace of mind on labor day is exactly what we set out to give families, and it means the world to hear it worked that way for you. Wishing you and your little one all the best, and thank you for the recommendation.

5 stars

This app is so helpful and I’m so glad I found this app during my pregnancy. It is so easy to use and extremely helpful. I’m able to notify my family with one click of a button. If you are expecting, this app is necessary!

Response from developer

This made our day, thank you. Reaching your whole family with one tap, especially in the middle of everything, is the whole reason we built it. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and thank you for helping other expecting families find us.

Life saver!

I’m so incredibly grateful for someone creating this app! It opens communication for my family and friends for when I’m starting the birthing process and it’s fun to set up too! Love the customizable color schemes and images I can put on it 😊

Response from developer

Thank you so much. We had a feeling setup should be something you actually enjoy, so hearing you had fun with the colors and images makes us really happy. Wishing you a smooth and joyful delivery when your day comes.

Finally! A birth notification app!

I wish we had this when my kids were born. But now my kids can use it!

Easy!

I’ve searched the internet/App Store high and low for an app or messaging system that notifies everyone about my delivery status. No group texts, thank you! And here it is!! It was so much fun to set up the app with my partner. Now, we wait for our special day to share our progress with all our family and friends with just one click! Can’t wait!

Response from developer

No group texts was our rule too, so this made us smile. Setting it up together with your partner and then waiting for the big day is exactly how we hoped it would feel. Congratulations, and we cannot wait for your one tap when the day arrives.
