### 4/5 — Great info, slightly clunky interface

*2026-08-20, version 9.4.1*

This is my go to app for tracking pregnancy and reading helpful info at every stage. It’s informative without being scary. I do find the app to be a little clunky in appearance.

### 2/5 — Freezes a lot

*2026-08-18, version 9.4.0*

I love the information the app provides about each week of pregnancy but it freezes almost every time I open it. I have to continuously force close and try again but it still doesn’t work. Ended up just uninstalling.

### 2/5 — Worked great until it didn’t

*2026-08-18, version 9.4.0*

Randomly logged me out every few weeks, now today I’m logged out and my account didn’t exist? So now it’s useless unless I make another account. Thanks but no thanks

### 4/5 — Who writes the Daily Facts?

*2026-07-20, version 9.3.1*

I like the app overall. But these daily facts leave me scratching my head… today’s “baby weighs as much as 12 beer bottle caps”. Previously, “baby is the width of an extaco-knife”. Come on. There was another about a drill bit the other day? Are these tailored to the dads?? At this point they have become fodder for me and my husband.

### 3/5 — It’s just ok

*2026-05-11, version 9.1.3*

I like that it gives daily updates of how big baby is but it gets very confusing. For example, I’m 12 weeks and baby is supposed to be the size of a lime, however on like the daily facts it says that the baby is as long as the diameter of a golf ball. Those are two VERY different sizes. This is my first baby and if I have a second I probably would not download this again.

### 5/5 — I love this

*2026-04-17, version 9.1.1*

This is one of the of the best pregnancy tracking apps you can have

### 5/5 — I’m the grandmother to be

*2026-04-04, version 9.0.4*

You forget even after three children so this has helped me remember all those things as I follow my daughter’s pregnancy I sure wish I had this one I was expecting.

### 5/5 — Amazing free resource

*2026-04-02, version 9.0.4*

Thank you for offering this information for free! It’s so helpful and surprising to find free support online these days! Great ap with loads of resources

### 5/5 — So informational!

*2026-03-13, version 9.0.3*

I’ve loved this app all of pregnancy and for each week of my baby after being born! I’ve learned so much and it’s been very reassuring.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-03-10, version 9.0.2*

I seriously love this app, it’s a very handy tool for so many different things. The one thing that I wish it had was more about twins. It allows you to select that you’re having twins in the set up, but doesn’t show two babies in the 3D images, there are also not as many twin articles. That said, still the best tracker app I’ve found thus far.

### 4/5 — Fun app for tracking baby’s development

*2026-03-05, version 9.0.2*

I love reading about my baby’s development each week. That said, this app can be super buggy. For example, when I click on the “3D” model of baby, it never takes me there, and I have to try several more clicks to get it to load. There also have been some errors in content, such as listing baby’s weight in oz when it should clearly be pounds. But overall, I enjoy this app and don’t mind its inconsistencies.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2026-03-03, version 9.0.2*

Very helpful and straight forward with every information...loving it so much😍😍😍

### 1/5 — Insensitive Company

*2026-08-30, version 9.4.1*

*BEWARE* if you so happen to have a miscarriage and lose your baby, it is apparently impossible to delete your account, and even when you reach out and fill out their silly little form, they continue to send you painful emails to remind you of the baby you lost. 💔 EXTREMELY insensitive company!!!

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-08-28, version 9.4.1*

I like the content, but the app keeps freezing and quitting spontaneously. I have to restart it lime a million times. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Logged me out twice now and have to restart

*2026-08-08, version 9.4.0*

I’ve always used another app to track my pregnancy and tried this new one and the experience is horrible. All my names saved, kicks counted disappeared. Very upsetting and disappointing

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-06-01, version 9.1.4*

I got this app and thought it was helpful to have while tracking my pregnancy. Until I clicked on an article that discussed learning about the gender of the baby. Within the article it had a whole paragraph describing how gender and sex are different terms. Which, is not biologically true nor was this ever true. This type of agenda should not be pushed within articles on pregnancy tracking apps. The sex of your baby is male or female and that is also the gender of your baby as well. Nobody should be writing articles pushing false information to other people. Thank goodness I have my head screwed on right and know that if my baby is born a boy, he's always a boy. And if it's a girl, she's always a girl. Will be contacting the app to express concerns about the articles they feature on their app.

### 1/5 — Basic as heck

*2026-05-24, version 9.1.4*

Info is super generic and dated, would not rely on this app for health information!

### 1/5 — Another couple’s info populated in my account

*2026-05-20, version 9.1.4*

I just downloaded this app a few days ago and didn’t spend too much time looking around until today. I noticed that the initial in the top right corner that indicates the user’s name didn’t match my first name, so I went into the account details. Another person’s full name (not in any way related to my own) is in the “My Account” fields, and another full name (also in no way similar to my name) is shown under “My Significant Other.” The address in the account is my address from 10+ years ago. I searched for the couples’ names and they are in fact a real couple who live in the same state as the address shown in the account. It’s possible they lived in the house at one point but is unlikely because I am the third owner (still own it), and I don’t think any of the previous owners rented it out. I am THOROUGHLY creeped out and want to know how this happened. Is my information now showing up in someone else’s account? This seems like a MASSIVE breach of privacy.

### 1/5 — Glitches & Inaccuracy

*2026-05-19, version 9.1.4*

It will glitch often and you’ll be stuck at the Home Screen. Also refers to breast feeding as “chest feeding” and calls us women “pregnant people”

### 1/5 — Overall Poor App; use to track only

*2026-03-03, version 9.0.2*

Good to track but useless and random size comparisons of what the baby is day to day. Also there are often spelling mistakes overlooked, so someone either is not paying enough attention when writing it does not care enough about the information to reread their data. Not recommended at all.

### 1/5 — Need to fix

*2026-02-24, version 9.0.1*

The app keeps logging me out, which is really frustrating.
Also all the journals  disappeared when it upgraded automatically and no where to be found.

### 1/5 — Pregnant Person

*2025-11-05, version 8.8.1*

I encourage you to use biologically accurate language. Women experience pregnancy, and I can’t continue to support a platform that overlooks that truth. We are not pregnant “people”.

### 5/5 — Mom of 5!

*2026-08-26, version 9.4.1*

Love this app from pregnancy to childhood and all the moments in between this app is a must for me every time!

### 5/5 — Must Have app!

*2026-08-26, version 9.4.1*

If you are expecting a baby you NEED the Bump app! I love that it updates you on your baby week by week, gives helpful tips, and has so much information in one app! It has made pregnancy much less overwhelming and a lot more joyful!

### 5/5 — Moms perspective

*2026-08-25, version 9.4.1*

I am loving the bump! I love that I can follow along with pregnancy updates as well as create a registry all in one place. It feels like the perfect one stop shop!

### 5/5 — Pregnancy & Beyond

*2026-08-25, version 9.4.1*

I wish I found this app sooner! It had everything you need from pregnancy, newborn, and I’m still using it with my toddler. It has helpful articles, milestones that you can check weekly (and then monthly for your toddler), and even help with picking a baby name. It’s one of those apps I suggest to all my friends that are becoming moms.

### 5/5 — Great info

*2026-08-03, version 9.4.0*

I love how much free information there is about what baby and I are experiencing each week.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-07-21, version 9.3.1*

The Bump was super helpful during my pregnancy, especially being my first baby and knowing absolutely nothing about babies or pregnancy. Now getting great info and tips after birth and tracking important things like pumping, diaper changes, and feeding times.

### 5/5 — Love love love this app

*2026-06-28, version 9.2.1*

I can’t put into words how much I love this app! 😍 I first saw this app when I was pregnant with my first child my son back in 2020. Then I got pregnant again with my daughter back in 2024 and I still have it today I’m pregnant again for a third time and I love this app

### 5/5 — Bug

*2026-06-22, version 9.2.1*

Manual input doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Great milestone information

*2026-06-18, version 9.2.0*

This will be my third pregnancy using this app. I learn so much throughout the pregnancy and it keeps me on track. I love being able to look at milestones with my first child.

### 5/5 — Amazing pregnancy app!

*2026-05-06, version 9.1.3*

I didn’t expect an app to make pregnancy feel this organized and actually exciting, but The Bump really does. From day one, it’s been like having a calm, helpful guide in my pocket.

The weekly updates are my favorite—they’re detailed but easy to understand, and I love seeing how my baby is growing in a way that actually feels real. The visuals, the size comparisons, the little tips… it makes everything sink in more.

What surprised me most is how much is packed into one app. The registry feature is super convenient (especially being able to link everything in one place), and the product recommendations actually feel useful—not random or overwhelming. It saved me a lot of time trying to figure out what I actually need.

I’ve also used the community side a bit, and it’s nice knowing there are other people going through the same stage at the same time. It makes everything feel less isolating.

Overall, The Bump feels supportive without being stressful, informative without being confusing, and honestly just makes this whole experience smoother. Definitely one of the few apps I’ve stuck with and actually look forward to opening every day.
