The main issue I have is how slow the app performs. It takes 30 seconds or longer to “like” a recipe or load a page. It loses my attention quickly and I get frustrated often. Another issue I have is that I’m unable to customize my own meal plan. It chooses the meals for you, and allows you to “refresh” if you don’t like one of the chosen recipes. But you are unable to select your favorited recipes and add them to specific days. I cancelled after one month of paying because I honestly don’t think it’s worth the $20/month. ### 5/5 — Essential Resource! *2025-09-06, version 3.1* The new TPNL App is awesome! Beautifully organized and, as always, full of current science backed nutritional info. It is so helpful to have such a thoughtful and trusted resource. Appreciate TPNL so much! ### 5/5 — TPNL *2025-09-05, version 3.1* The TPNL Pregnant app has been such a helpful and supportive tool throughout my pregnancy journey. I love how easy it is to use and how clearly everything is explained. The resources are practical, encouraging, and tailored to each stage, which makes me feel more confident and prepared. I especially appreciate the reminders and tips—they keep me on track without feeling overwhelming. This app really combines information, guidance, and encouragement in the best way. Highly recommend for any expectant mom! ### 5/5 — My sanity is resorted! *2025-09-05, version 3.1* First pregnancy here and I had no clue what to do nutrition-wise. There’s so many “do’s” and “don’t’s” for pregnancy diet that I felt completely overwhelmed. Plus, I’m horrible at coming up with meal ideas/plans, so I was really struggling to eat well-rounded meals. But thankfully, Ryann's app answered every nutrition question I had!! I was finally able to put my tears and frantic Google searches to rest because TPNL has information on literally every single type of food, ingredient, vitamin, etc. And it breaks everything down so clearly that my pregnancy-brain doesn’t have to do any guesswork on if I should eat something or not. I FINALLY feel confident about my food choices now instead of constantly anxious. And there’s tons of recipes to browse through (included in the app, no extra charge) for breakfast, lunch, dinner, AND snack!! Which was a lifesaver for me when all I could manage was eating snacks in my first trimester. Thank you Ryann for creating something that makes first time moms feel empowered instead of scared!!! ### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful!! *2025-09-05, version 3.1* I used this app when I was pregnant and it really helped me eat confidently and without fear. I am so grateful for the work Ryann did to make everything easy to understand and guides were extremely thorough. I highly recommend for anyone who is pregnancy or TTC! ### 5/5 — Amazing - This App Saved My Life *2025-09-05, version 3.1* I’ve been following Ryann on Instagram since my first pregnancy, her content is so great! Being able to access it all on my phone is even better. The new app is so intuitive, and t’s got just about anything you’d need! I love the meal plans! ### 5/5 — Everything You Did & Didn’t Know You Needed *2025-09-05, version 3.1* This app has been an absolute life saver! I’ve used it for both pregnancies and now postpartum. The amount of peace it brought me can’t even be quantified. I loved the app before but she just reconfigured it and it is SO AMAZING! It’s super user friendly and I love how it now centers specifically around where you are (trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum) and your dietary restrictions and it makes it so personalized! It’s definitely a must have! ### 5/5 — This app is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G *2025-08-30, version 3.0* I absolutely love this app. My husband and I are trying to conceive and always get stumped on what we should be eating. This app helps us so much in taking the decision factor out and making an entire weekly plan for us. It has so much knowledge all different kinds food and ingredients that I would’ve never known! So thankful for an app like this to learn and lean on in such a new chapter of our lives. Thank you TPNL! ### 5/5 — This app is a blessing! *2025-08-11, version 2.18* During my pregnancy I was high risk what almost felt like everything. Having gestational diabetes and having the meal plans and research based information was very helpful! Not being scared to eat certain foods and feel confident when searching in the app my many questions! I am grateful for this app and the education it also provides! I will forever recommend this to anyone! 🤎 ### 5/5 — Great resource! *2025-07-21, version 2.18* I just had my baby and used this app so many times while I was pregnant to make sure I had reliable research based information. It is so hard to find accurate information on Google. Save yourself the stress and get a subscription if you’re trying to conceive or pregnant! It’s a wonderful resource to use when you want clear and helpful advice about nutrition. ### 5/5 — the nutritional prenatal library (: *2025-07-17, version 2.18* I started using this app when I first became pregnant. I struggled a lot with all day sickness and wasn’t sure how to regulate that. this app has helped me so much gain insight on what foods to eat and what’s okay in moderation. I really love all the detailed information the library gives you, it’s so worth it! tons and tons of resources~ I have recommended tnpl to my girls who are pregnant and looking to connect with community and get tons of information on pregnancy. Also, there’s an amazing podcast you can also check out, it was one of my favorite parts of the library! (: I really love this platform! ### 5/5 — Questions Answered! *2025-02-13, version 2.18* TPNL was such a helpful app during my pregnancy. It’s so easy to navigate and the information provided on all the food gives you the knowledge you need to make informed choices about what you’re eating and drinking. I also enjoyed the podcast and community posts within the app. Super helpful and I’d recommend to any parent to be, especially those who are quick to worry. ### 5/5 — Great Recipes, Easy to switch up! *2025-01-31, version 2.18* I loved using this as a base guide for eating while pregnant! I may have not always cooked exactly what was there for the day but used the weekly calendars to pick a few meals that would work for me and my husband both. ### 5/5 — Essential for anxious moms to be! *2025-01-26, version 2.18* I have followed the teams instagram since before I was pregnant, and was so excited to subscribe once I was finally was. I was anxious about everything food related and safety. It’s truly so incredible to be able to search and find a note about a food I was curious about eating, I also loved her insight on prenatals. I had a healthy baby girl and would subscriber again in a heart beat if I chose to have another baby! ### 5/5 — So helpful! *2025-01-20, version 2.18* I loved using this app throughout my pregnancies and post partum periods! It’s been a game changer and helps alleviate some of the mental strain of trying to figure out what I should and shouldn’t eat. ### 5/5 — Invaluable! *2025-01-17, version 2.18* This is my 2nd time subscribing to TPNL. It was so so so helpful throughout my pregnancies. It made making informed choices when it comes to nutrition easy! Her notes on everything from lunch meat to probiotics are all backed by thorough, evidence-based research. Also, having a team that will respond to any question you have is such an amazing perk! I highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Loved it!!! *2024-12-05, version 2.18* I used it in my second pregnancy and it was a life changer!! I used it even months after my delivery! It really helped me out in every doubt that I had. Thank you !!! ### 5/5 — Excellent meal plans for pregnancy *2024-09-17, version 2.18* I highly recommend TPNL for anyone that is pregnant or trying to get pregnant. I really appreciated the meal plans and used them throughout my pregnancy. I had a really healthy pregnancy with no issues and feel the meal guides helped tremendously. ### 5/5 — Wonderful resource! *2024-08-15, version 2.17* I found the TPNL App to be a breath of fresh air in a world where there is possibly too much information! It was great to know that I had reliable information at my fingertips. I used the app multiple times per day throughout my pregnancy, whether it was to look up an ingredient I wasn’t sure was safe, or to meal plan for maximum nutrition for my babe and me. The app was easy to use and I loved the Community section as well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-07-18, version 2.15* Unless you’re paying for it , waste ### 1/5 — Worthless *2023-08-05, version 2.5* Advertised as a free resource for pregnant woman. There are maybe 10 free notes about basic topics, everything else is behind a paywall that isn’t mentioned in the app description or on their Tik Tok adds. Have to enter you email to find out. Such a scam. Talk to your doctor or just google your questions don’t give waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — Forces subscription to see anything *2023-07-13, version 2.5* Before you can see anything in the app you have to create an account. Then, pretty much everything you want to look at is behind a paywall. Now they have my email address, and a very annoyed pregnant woman. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2023-05-30, version 2.5* Subscription is nearly impossible to cancel. I had to reach out to my bank to get them to cancel it for me because their customer service didn’t (and still hasn’t) gotten back to me. Website itself is extremely slow. Not what I was wanting - you have to pay for meal plans on top of the subscription fee. UPDATE!!! Still charging me months afterwards. LEGIT cannot get it to stop charging me. SO DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL!!!! ### 1/5 — Not what I expected *2023-02-11, version 2.4* Extremely basic information, content is not worth the price. Impossible to cancel. Should have know anything that won’t let you preview content before purchase isn’t going to meet expectations. ### 1/5 — Deceitful *2021-10-16, version 1.9* On TikTok it’s mentioned that if you have GDB to get this app as ‘it’s free’ but once you get in if you want GDB advice it’s $200. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Not worth purchase *2021-07-14, version 1.5* The app is so slow to load, the advertising made it seem like you could open and type in a food to research with answers. It’s just links to Instagram videos. I typed in hummus for example and no results loaded. Not worth the price. Once you open the app the welcome page takes a food 2 minutes to load. Each time. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-01-15, version 1.4* App crashed a few times when I tried to access information. Not able to actually access info. ### 2/5 — Not free *2023-06-06, version 2.5* In the App Store it says the app is free, but only a very small portion of it actually is. I’m sure a lot of effort went into the creation of the app, and the free parts are all beautiful, but I feel like it was a little misleading to be marked as “free” (it did not have ‘in-app purchase’ written below either.) ### 3/5 — Needs UI improvements *2026-05-31, version 3.9* The app is a great idea, it has a lot of helpful information and most of the recipes are pretty solid however, I am really frustrated with the making your meal plan portion of it. While I was originally really excited for this feature, I feel like it is a huge flop. If you want to rearrange or switch out your recipes for the week, it takes at least 45 minutes due to the lag time because you’re unable to select which meals you want. You have to click refresh and are randomly given a new one so you have to continually click through the meals until you get the one you want. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So useful during pregnancy! *2026-06-19, version 3.9* I had so many questions during my first pregnancy but the library provided very useful information. I could find the answers to my questions quickly. Many recipes, meal plan ideas and resources for all the many questions we might have when pregnant. Ryann provides amazing information and everything is research based ### 5/5 — What can I eat? *2026-03-10, version 3.7* The TPNL app is an incredible resource for anyone navigating pregnancy nutrition. It takes the overwhelm out of what can I eat? and replaces it with clear, evidence-based guidance. As a labor and delivery nurse, I love seeing tools like this that empower families to feel confident in supporting their health and their baby’s development. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Great resource! *2026-03-09, version 3.7* The library is a great resource for when I just need some guidance on what food is safe, how much I should eat, basic nutrition facts, etc. Saves me from many a confusing Google search! I trust Ryann and the team to provide up-to-date, evidence-based info on ingredients, products, and prenatal nutrition. Definitely worth having on my phone! ### 5/5 — Best pregnancy app *2026-03-09, version 3.7* I used this app before, during, and after my first pregnancy and I continue to use it through miscarriage and trying to convince again. The advice and articles are great and I love how she is constantly updating it with new things. The new update and layout is also super user friendly ### 5/5 — Valuable resource! *2026-03-02, version 3.7* Love having a quick access to accurate information. I love being able to have an up to date resource to look up particular foods, drinks, suggestions for a healthy prenatal or pregnancy period! ### 5/5 — Highly recommend!! *2026-02-23, version 3.7* Looking for nutrition support with TTC, pregnant, or postpartum? This is it!! Has everything you need. Easy recipes, searchable, and you can chat with dietitians even. ### 5/5 — Excellent library *2025-12-11, version 3.6* Excellent resources for pregnancy. Meal plans, Q&As, discussion forums ### 5/5 — The most helpful! *2025-11-21, version 3.6* As a first time mom, this was the MOST helpful resource for me during pregnancy and post partum. I’ve recommended it to all my new mom friends. It’s a must have resource that makes prenatal nutrition so easy instead of scary! ### 5/5 — Helpfula and easy *2025-09-14, version 3.1* Love this app! Really helpful info and user friendly, so thankful this exists! ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2025-09-09, version 3.1* This app helped my wife tremendously when navigating pregnancy.
