Room for improvement

I love the concept of this app but the copy and insights need to be buttoned up. Some of the articles feel like they weren’t edited by a professional writer and for a paid program, it doesn’t feel polished enough.

How to contact app support?

Any idea how to contact app support? I registered the book but I am unable to sign in with the email and password in the app. The support link is not working.

Poor content and terrible value for money

The app pretends to personalise content to the type of birth, but it does not.
The contents are very basics tips and exercises that you can find for free on the web.
A very basic exercise programme is included, only that sometimes exercises lack explanations, some fundamentals info is missing (for example when to breathe in and when to breathe out) and it’s not clear since the before the start of the exercise what equipment you need.

Poor quality content

Seems like it was thrown together. Poor Ux and poor quality content.

Toll! Gute Übungen, gut angeleitet, sehr hilfreich.

Perfekt für jeden

Nett aber fehlerbehaftet und zu teuer

Ich habe 29,99€ für ein Jahresabo bezahlt und ständig brechen die Workoutvideos ab. Entweder läuft die Zeit weiter aber das Video bleibt stehen oder die Musik hört einfach auf, sodass man immer zurückspulen muss, damit es wieder funktioniert. Sehr nervig während des Workouts! Vor allem kostet das Buch mit kostenlosem App Zugang nur die Hälfte! Auch die Challenges sind absolut nichts besonders und das macht man meistens schon automatisch, wie z.B. mehr trinken oder auf eine gerade Haltung achten.. 2 Sterne nur weil ich die Workouts gut finde.

Nicht durchdacht

Handy gewechselt, kein Zugriff mehr auf die App.
Die Videos fand ich nicht gut gemacht, die Stimme roboterhaft und teils falsch übersetzt.
Mit dem schnellen Anstieg der Intensität der Übungen kam ich auch nicht zurecht.

Nette Idee schlecht umgesetzt

Ich wollte heute endlich mit den Übungen anfangen und direkt im ersten Video, dass ich mir angesehen habe heißt es: „wir machen es genau so wie in den vorherigen Workouts“. Ich hatte keine vorherigen Workouts! Für mich sind alle Übungen neu. Es wird nichts erklärt, ich kann also nicht einsteigen, da mir die Übungen nicht bekannt sind. Extrem frustrierend, wenn man sich endlich 10 Minuten frei geschaufelt hat, das Baby endlich schläft, keine anderen Termine anstehen und man dann nicht loslegen kann. Das tötet meine Motivation extrem.
Hab mein Abo dann sofort wieder gekündigt. Die App ist schön gestaltet aber man findet sich null zurecht. Ich hab ewig versucht die Übungen wieder auf „Start“ zurück zu setzen, aber keine Ahnung wie das gehen soll und ob das überhaupt geht. Da man die App so kaum nutzen kann und sie dafür viel zu teuer ist, nur 2 Sterne.

Frauenunfreundlich und mit wenig Tiefgang

Ich fand die App bislang ganz ok, wenngleich mich der Fokus wieder ganz „die Alte“ zu werden doch etwas gestört hat. Eine Geburt verändert eine Frau nunmal und diese neue Version des Selbst gilt es zu finden und zu feiern! Der Tip, sich doch nicht gegen zu lassen (dazu eine Frau mit Gesichtsmaske) und der Hinweis, dass viele Beziehungen nach der Geburt aufgrund der Entscheidungen der Mutter scheitern, lassen mich jedoch sprachlos zurück. Das ist nicht nur frauenfeindlich sondern dazu noch gefährlich. Wirkt auf mich nach sehr altem, weißen Mann. Liebe Macher der App, das geht in 2023 definitiv besser!

No Captions!

Unusable for those who are hard of hearing.

Pointless without subscription

I found this from getting the wonder weeks app, and thought it might link to the paid app, but you can’t open anything without having a subscription. Quite irritating.

Overpriced, no refund

I found the information not useful as there was no way to tailor it to my specific situation. Couldn’t figure out how to cancel and wrote to their help desk before the deadline… they wrote to me after the deadline and said I now could not cancel since I had missed the deadline! $30 for an app I don’t need. Skip downloading this and see an in-person physical therapist after giving birth

Waste of money if you didn’t just give birth

I love the concept, but if you’re already even a couple months postpartum, it’s not helpful. It looks great in the first week, but then nothing changes for three weeks at a time, and it’s only an 18 week program. Buy a gym membership instead if you’ve got money to burn and look up some stretches on Pinterest.

1 star for existing - 🤞 it improves

I work with startups and am a first time mom as of 9/1/2021. My birth and PP recovery was traumatic and lonely. There was SO much info for pregnancy and then for baby - “Wonder Weeks”, What to Expect”, “Huckleberry”, “Expecting Better” etc but data supported and tracked PP information was virtually non existent. I had to dig through forums, text friends of friends, mine podcasts like “The Longest Shortest Time”. The closest thing I found to a reflection of reality in the media came from Netflix’s “The Let Down”. All this to say, I was dreaming up an app like WW or Huckleberry for PP and found that you WERE working on something and here it is. I was excited. Unfortunately it was a let down. And not the good-to-latch-onto kind (Mom pun intended). Without warning a video started playing - a terrible function for people who probably JUST got a baby to shut its eyes. This didn’t make me want to try the free trial. Who ran the beta testing? What research is being used? I would LOVE to help grow this concept. Right now it feels like a somewhat out of touch self help app still WAY to hung up on mommy *bouncing back* than the support system - maybe even lifeline it could be. Please tell me who I can chat with. I’m US based. SF/Silicon Valley. I’m not a VC but I truly want to help. I’ve even followed your LinkedIn in hopes your expanding the team. I’m a huge advocate now for PP people and THIS app is SO needed. There’s a huge hole in the market, but as it stands, this app can’t fill it.

Can’t choose due date.

The calendar won’t let me choose my due date. It keeps reverting back to todays date.

Dauerhaft in Woche 1

Ich habe Anfang Dezember mir ein Abo gekauft. Die App sagt seit dem immer Woche 1 und habe auch immer das gleich Video für den Sport. Das ist auf Dauer nicht mein Anspruch. Bleibt das so oder ändert sich das noch?
Wäre echt schade.

Excellent idea, Poor execution

This app brings together all the topics one needs to recover postpartum, but does a really poor job of educating on them ie Bad posture can delay recovery- yes, obviously, can you give me a picture with anatomy to illustrate What Bad Posture Is??? Otherwise it’s like having educational material that says Poor diet can lead to weight gain, but it never tells you: these are the food items which define a poor diet when consumed in excess. Good first draft, I’d love to see v2.0

Money taken without permission

I absolutely love the wonder weeks but have decided to review this sister app due to the seriously poor customer service and unethical practice. The “free 7 day trial” is disingenuous and I was charged for a subscription immediately even though I cancelled a day into the trial. The customer service then took forever to respond to me, replying that it was the fault of Apple and I’ve since heard nothing. I doubt I’ll see my money for a pretty pricey app, nor will I use it as the content as it’s pretty disappointing in comparison to other postpartum and well-being programmes. Avoid!

Glitchy with bad UX

The information shared in this app feels unreliable and doesn't link to studies or research its suggestions are based on. Poor UX makes scrolling through the different cards confusing about which is meant for your current stage. I'm also unsure why my delivery date was over two weeks ago but the app seems stuck on Week 1 features. Finally, when I tried to elevate this question to cuatomer service within the app, I was simply met with a dead end error message.

Not a good app at all

When you use The Wonder Weeks app and see that there is an app for postpartum recovery you get very excited. However, unfortunately unlike The Wonder Weeks app this app has so many flaws. Although I have completed numerous workouts throughout the week even more than the three required none of them have been marked down and even though it’s been over a week the app still thinks that I am on week one. I also began my journey eight months postpartum with this app. Instead of asking or putting a questionnaire to see where I am physically for this app it’s immediately assuming I just had a baby yesterday. So all of the work that I have already done I’m being set back in time. For an app that is as expensive as it is expected to perform very well and to be tailored to me and not just a blanket app for all people. I definitely do not recommend paying for this app whatsoever. Download a Sweat app or look up Megsquats and buy her postpartum recovery program.
