I’m 12 weeks this week. If I put my due date in, the app tells me I’m 13. If I put in the date of my last period. The app tells me my due date the day before it is, and if I put in the weeks, the app tells me I’m due 11 days after I actually am. There’s not a whole lot of information on the app like there is on some other apps. There’s only a couple articles that are a paragraph or 2 long and not super informative about anything. Verdict? Skip it. Edit- I received a response from the developer- i May have missed articles that I didn’t go searching for, but my dashboard didn’t show me many articles, so I wasn’t going to scour the app looking for them. As far as the weeks thing though, maybe that’s something that should be changed- that’s not the way any other app, or the doctor reads it. I’ve never heard on anyone considering you being on your “13th week” until you are 13 weeks. And that’s still doesn’t solve the problem for the due date issue. If that was the case, my due date should be a week off when I put in how many weeks I am, not almost 2 weeks off.

This app gives little mini articles throughout each week, but it’s a little confusing because some of them are addressed to a significant other and some are not. This didn’t make sense to me because why would a guy add an app called hello belly with a little pregnant lady on it? It just seems like it’s clearly for the person who is pregnant, so the articles should be consistent with that. Secondly, the language in the articles is confusing, almost like it’s been translated or written by someone who doesn’t speak common English. Also, one of them says not to get upset if your body rejects a pregnancy at week 7 because it’s a good thing. Really? This is so insensitive and all around strange to say. Why would a pregnant woman want to read that? Lastly, the image of the baby is not at all scientifically accurate. When matched with countless other images on apps and websites, the baby shown on this app is several weeks ahead of where it should be. Overall this app is confusing and awkward. I will not be using for the remainder of my pregnancy and wish I hadn’t spent the money.

As soon as I opened the free app I somehow purchased the $50 yearly subscription. The words and price did not pop up until after I used the finger print select option to move to the next screen. At that point it was too late. I decided to give the app a try and have found it not useful. My weeks/days are off once I managed to select the correct due date - which I could only select by choosing a different due date since they seem to be off a few days. For example when I chose Dec 26 it would pop up as the 24th or 25th. Then say the incorrect number of weeks and days into my pregnancy. The yoga feature is terrible. There are videos but the directions for each pose need to be read on screen and it doesn’t automatically move to the next pose. Also the timer is off. For poses that say a duration of 3 minutes, the timer only goes for 1 minute and poses that say 1 or 2 minutes for duration only have a 30 sec timer. I tried to request a refund via report a problem but it was denied instantly.
