### 3/5 — Inaccurate sizing of baby

*2022-11-28, version 2.9.1*

I use this app along with a book I am reading. I love the slideshows those are amazing and fun to see well by week. My biggest complaint is the size given for each week. At 17 weeks it Is telling me my baby is 7 inches long when every single other resource I looked at (books and online to triple check) all started the baby would only be about 5 - 5 3/4 inches long. I checked the next several weeks after and found the info just as inaccurate unfortunately. Please fix this error for baby sizing. I am not sure why it is not matching up with other reputable sources.

### 3/5 — Very Informative, App could use Upgrade

*2022-06-23, version 2.9.1*

Really love how informative every week is and it’s my go-to app with pregnancies. The app isn’t exactly the sleekest, they could use some developers to spruce things up a bit. There’s a couple of annoying bugs: if you accidentally added a baby twice you can’t just delete it. You have to mark it as a loss which is annoying. Otherwise the info and resources have been good.

### 3/5 — Inappropriate advertising

*2021-03-21, version 2.7*

I’ve used this app during both of my pregnancies, but I’ve recently noticed a large number to advertisements for weight loss programs. One particular ad has a person with a pregnant shape and then suggested meals to correct this problem. Women do not need to see this type of ad ever, especially while pregnant. The app needs to take better care to screen advertisements

### 4/5 — Best app for twins!!

*2020-12-04, version 2.6*

Not the most visually stunning app, interface-wise, but very informative and so far THE ONLY app that functionally supports twin pregnancy. Despite the incredible increase in twin pregnancies over the last 30 years the market for products and info to support parents is extremely underserved. Thank you WebMD for your insights and inclusivity! I look forward to my weekly updates and seeing how the babies—and my body—are growing and changing.

### 4/5 — A twin mom- would like to see...

*2020-08-09, version 2.5*

Just a little more about how 2 babies look in the womb. But it was a struggle to find any apps that do this at all, so definitely 4 solid stars.

### 3/5 — Allows for multiples, but MAJOR typo at wk 16

*2020-01-05, version 2.4.1*

I love that I am able to customize this app for my twins; however, once I got to week 16, there is a major mistake in the documented length of my babies. The app says they measure at 7 inches, in reality, they are 3.5-4 inches. Unfortunately, the mistake affects the subsequent weeks as well. If the developers fix this, it would be a 5-star app, but as it is now, it becomes unreliable after the firth trimester.

### 2/5 — Error!!

*2019-08-25, version 2.1*

I'm at home in WiFi and keep getting the Error message when i try to read under the community section. Plus i wish there could be more photos of multiples!

### 4/5 — App review

*2019-07-06, version 2.1*

Much better than all the other pregnancy apps I’ve found, it’s data driven and informative rather than filled with only blogs and opinion articles. Good information about mom, baby, and other things that are just good to know! Only draw back is could be slightly more user friendly (scrolling between screens, etc).

### 3/5 — Articles are Great, but App Loads Strange

*2018-12-20, version 2.0.11*

Information provided on the app is great. The only thing I don’t like is that the week I am in loads weird on my phone. The articles and tabs don’t fit on my screen to ratio unless I scroll to the next week, then scroll back to my current week. 

If the developers of this app would like to reach out to me, I can send them screenshots of what exactly I am seeing.

### 5/5 — Twin friendly!!

*2018-12-09, version 2.0.11*

This is the only app I could find that recognized my twin pregnancy and gave me information based upon the fact that my body was carrying two babies (always considered “high risk” and apparently way different than singleton pregnancies). So helpful, twin mamas to be!!!! ✨

### 2/5 — Poor quality

*2018-12-07, version 2.0.11*

The only benefit to this app is that there is an option to add multiple’s in your pregnancy.  Other than that... the people using this app post inappropriate questions on the forums, and the information on the “what to expect” App is better in my opinion.  Also, they bombard you with emails.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — HUGE PRIVACY VIOLATORS

*2021-12-31, version 2.8*

I signed up for the app during my first pregnancy in 2020. Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage. This company provided my information to SEVERAL solicitors. When the baby was supposed to be due, I received multiple “care packages” of baby item samples. This was disheartening to say the least. Be cautious providing this company with your personal information. I was NOT informed by due date, name, and home address would be shared. If I could provide negative stars, I would.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2020-08-10, version 2.5*

Many links in the resources content take you to incorrect information. For instance “cramping” links you to a WebMD page about charley horses. Another link mentions 8 signs of labor but takes you to an odd video of a woman and man talking about how women used to urinate on rabbits to determine if they were pregnant. I found this app odd and disappointing.

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2020-07-30, version 2.5*

I downloaded the app to check it out and somehow it thought I was pregnant. There’s no way to edit your dates making it impossible to use. I even said a baby was born just to try and start a new cycle where I could edit that I’m not pregnant or to put in my cycle info but nope I’m in my first week according to the app. I even emailed support and they were no help! Really disappointed.

### 1/5 — Constantly crashing

*2019-10-14, version 2.1*

I was really excited about this app but then as I started exploring it by clicking on articles and different things, the app would close. It’s not helpful when you go to click on something for information and things you are excited to learn about pregnancy but you can’t see it because every time you do the app shuts down. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Has crashed repeatedly and none of the feedback options work

*2019-10-10, version 2.1*

I just downloaded and I can’t use it. It has crashed 10x or more, the feedback link won’t load. I tried responding to the email provided in the welcome email and it was kicked back as undeliverable. Thumbs down.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2019-06-22, version 2.1*

This app won’t let me put the accurate date of when my first pregnancy ended upon the birth of the baby. I didn’t update it at the time, but now when I try to add her may 2018 Birthday it automatically resets to the current date and won’t let me update. Also, I am pregnant again and I tried to add baby #2 but it just keeps showing me 42 weeks pregnant. I couldn’t figure out how to delete the other pregnancy so I can just see this one. I updated the app and still have this issues. Unless it is resolved soon I will be deleting this app. I found it very helpful the first time around but this is just frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not everyone is EXACTLY the same.

*2019-02-26, version 2.1*

This app asks when my last known period was Then calculates the due date. I know exactly when my last period was I know exactly when I ovulated and I know exactly what my due date is (confirmed by the doctor). However it only allows for people who have a 28 day cycle where they have there period then ovulate EXACTLY 14 days later. When I change the due date it changes when I started my period.

Also, more than once this app has told me that it is not OK to eat brie cheese. That is COMPLETELY incorrect. You shouldn’t eat unpasteurized food! Soft cheese is fine so long as it’s pasteurized. It’s emphasizing the cheese and not the fact that it’s unpasteurized.

### 1/5 — Crash Crash and full of crash

*2017-12-31, version 2.0.8*

Please remove this app from App Store till you fix your app. It is absolutely unusable. Every time I click on link, it crashes. I was trying to be helpful for last two weeks by keep sending you guys crash report. Do your developers have any dignity? How can you have such unstable app in store for so long.

### 2/5 — Assumes every parents is “mainstream”

*2020-04-23, version 2.5*

This app gives VERY little information on breastfeeding and when discussing supplies you will need for baby always first assumes bottle feeding. 

There is zero mention of cloth diapering- only disposable

There is zero mention of home birthing or midwife care. Every week says “what to expect at your DOCTORS appointment” 

There are pages and pages of information on pain control but no mention of natural birthing methods. 

There is no discussion of circumcision or that it is a CHOICE that parents make. It only says things like “make sure you have gauze and vaseline to care for a circumcision” 

There is no information whatsoever on what to expect in the moments after baby is born- such as antibiotic ointment in their eyes, vitamin K injections, who cuts the cord and how long to wait until you cut the cord, Skin to skin, who bathes baby, not retracting an intact foreskin, how soon to breastfeed, how soon to pump, etc.  

This app is clearly geared towards brainwashed American consumers!

### 2/5 — HIPAA Violations Much?

*2019-09-08, version 2.1*

The idea of this app is great. The articles are informative. The interactive nature of it is engaging and helpful. 

That said, the terms of service and privacy policy clearly state that this app will harvest every bit of information it can from you even if you don’t create a WebMD account. Moreover WebMD will use that harvested information to sell you things. They will also sell your information to anyone willing to buy it.  And to make matters worse, the only place you can find the term HIPAA on their website is an article that states what it means. They don’t follow HIPAA standards. They harvest and sell you information to advertisers for products they know you will be buying based on your private health information you are giving them. 

Also, when flipping through the slides in the user interface if you select one, read the article, and then go back, the app starts you back at the first slide every time. 

I would give it five stars if it weren’t for the UX issues and the creepy, corporate greed driven privacy violations companies like WebMD are somehow immune from adhering to because “it’s in the terms of service.”

### 5/5 — Well done

*2022-06-07, version 2.9.1*

I asked if ok RN -OB-GYN /OR, if I could use as I did this most of my career. Obviously many things I cannot use/ do which makes app better, but it is a great teaching tool for my grandchildren. Book “ A child is Born, always had. This is so much easier. I try to remember how many I helped, Thank You

### 5/5 — For twin parents

*2022-01-28, version 2.9*

This was pretty much the only pregnancy app I could find that would allow for twin pregnancy! It’s so nice having it fit my pregnancy instead of reading about a singleton pregnancy!

### 5/5 — Love!

*2020-04-14, version 2.5*

I love that this app actually shows twins. It’s the only app I’ve found that gives me an idea what it looks like with 2 babies in there 😍

### 5/5 — Can track twin pregnancy

*2020-04-09, version 2.5*

It is helpful in tracking my twin pregnancy shows pics of both fetuses.

### 5/5 — Mom of multiples

*2020-04-05, version 2.5*

I love that this app allows me to keep track of my twin pregnancy which has been a completely different journey than when I was previously pregnant with one child. The articles and information are specific to my experience and keeps me updated on what to expect because this pregnancy is so different. A lot of other pregnancy apps don’t provide this option which was why I decided to go with this one.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-01-11, version 2.4.1*

I just want to say thank you! I used this app and also another one that I had to pay. I absolutely regretted because I use this app more than the other one. This app is fully week a week with information.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2020-01-02, version 2.4.1*

Good help throughout my whole pregnancy. Would recommend. Got a lot of information from this app and would like to say that it helped me out for the 6 months so far.

### 5/5 — Gives you an inside look....

*2019-12-02, version 2.3*

Instead of spending 10 months (40 weeks is technically 10 months) imagining what’s happening with the development of your baby, you can actually watch it! This application offers scientific explanations, fantastic articles on the mother’s health and wellness, and it allows you to make notes for your doctor’s appointments. For a free app, I’m not sure what else Pregnancy WebMD could offer.

### 5/5 — Very informative and educational!

*2019-11-04, version 2.2.1*

This is my third pregnancy and I’m just discovering this app. WebMD prego is lightyears ahead of “what to expect” and “the bump” combined. For example, every prenatal test is organized by trimester and explained in greater detail. This is info that most doctors don’t have time to explain unless there’s a problem. The tools section is very helpful by allowing users to track things like weight, blood pressure, and eventually contraction times to name a few. There’s an entire section of symptoms to click on and learn more about relief from those. Relevant articles throughout and a week-by-week diagram... the list goes on. Definitely a well-designed free app with great information!

### 5/5 — Favorite Pregnancy App

*2019-01-10, version 2.1*

I used this app throughout my first pregnancy and am using it again for my second just for fun. I like that it’s got great information without all of the ads/marketing and extra fluff. Other apps are designed more like social media sites than information sources, they are designed so that you scroll and scroll and find more things than you wanted to. This app is straight-forward and helpful. I can get the info I want and then move on with my day.
