amma: Pregnancy & Baby Tracker Reviews

I downloaded and tried a half dozen apps. I found pros and cons to each one. I mainly noticed a discrepancy between the apps in the description of what is happening at that current time. Some would say that “implantation hasn’t yet happened yet” which is obviously inaccurate otherwise I wouldn’t have had a positive test. They varied wildly and it was really frustrating. As someone who is educated on the female reproductive system I know what is happening but since pregnancy isn’t something I’ve studied I wanted something with accurate detail of what is happening at this moment. amma provides accurate information and also includes pictures and ultrasounds of what your baby will look like at your current stage, even at super early ones! I am only 4 weeks today but got to see what it would look like if I had an ultrasound. I think the amount of content you get in amma is absolutely amazing. I recommend every pregnant woman checks it out!!!

It’s an alright app. It does the basic needs of knowing what’s going on this week. I like that you can add notes to the calendar and see the size of the baby and stuff like that. However, I don’t like how it calls the weeks. For example I’m 28 weeks and some days so it classifies me as 29. It counts a week ahead. Also I was prescribed progesterone and I added that to the notes calendar but it took a couple tries to figure out how to do it and now I get like 4 notifications at different times a day. I tried deleting it and I thought I deleted all the ones I didn’t need but they still show up. So I tried deleting all of them and just start over but it won’t delete. It’ll edit it but delete it so now I’m stuck getting these annoying notifications at times I don’t need to be reminded. I’m considering deleting amma all together to get rid of it.

So much false info, it’s scary. As a labor and delivery nurse and also pregnant, I do not recommend amma. I’m convinced amma was written in a different language and translated by someone who doesn’t understand English well and is NOT in the medical field. The grammar is horrible and often makes no sense. The technical terms are NOT what we use in the medical field of obstetrics (in the U.S. at least).

“Ten felt movements within 12 hours are the norm for this period of pregnancy.” (38 weeks) Wrong. Per my doctor and what we teach patients, ten movement should be felt in 2 hours.

“Prepare your nipples for the child feeding by massaging the nipples with a rough towel.” - Ladies, please DON’T do that. And again, horrible grammar. Who says “for the child feeding”?

“The placenta ceases to cope with its functions, becomes increasingly thinner and loses its blood leading to the retardation of metabolism.” What??? It sounds like a robot wrote this and even I can barely understand it. How could a non medical person understand this?

It is so easy to use amma because I had the baby center with my first baby was cool I take so many pictures anyway when I expected my second baby I can no do nothing in amma son immediately I when to the apps store and I try to find something nice and easy to use amma and I foundEd this amazing app so easy so beautiful I love it !!!

I like apps like this to keep track of weeks and the “baby’s” size/development, but that’s about it. I don’t like that amma developers made talking about the “baby” gender specific when it should be neutral(not everyone knows or wants too.) I also don’t like that they offer advice or info on vaginal discharge. I don’t think that should be on here since it can definitely freak a lot of people out. Vaginal discharge is unique pregnancy to pregnancy and person to person.

Hi, so far I love amma- it’s simple, to the point and you can make notes in the calendar & see what is going on inside today. The only issue I find is that for example- I am 5 weeks & 3 days pregnant but amma keeps saying I’m in my 6th week of pregnancy and what is going on, but at the bottom area it give me the correct week & day. There is a glitch that needs some attn. One correct tracking and one incorrect.

Best pregnancy app I have used as a first time mom. I love how it breaks down moms body as well as the growing baby and gives in Depth description of how much the baby is growing! Definitely recommend amma to any first time or pregnant woman.

Okay app, can tell it’s translated from another language, (Russian) and written from a very medical standpoint with medical jargon loosely thrown in. I have a nursing education though, so I know what the terms mean. There’s better pregnancy apps out there for sure though, so if I was needing the space on my phone, I wouldn’t keep it. Can’t stand the constant ads though, and I’m certainly not paying for the ad free version.

You can tell that the text was written by a self righteous male. “The woman’s body” is not a phrase a woman would use. The tone angered me, but it was the oversimplification of pregnancy symptoms that just aren’t true for all women that really got to me. While it is true that pregnant women can experience these symptoms, that uncertainty and variability should be conveyed. This, in combination with the egregious and casual use of large medical terms in the middle of terribly constructed sentences makes the content more insulting than informative.

When I type in the due date, it does not match up with the proper amount of weeks and days I am. I tried to type in the weeks and days that I am but then it messes up the due date. The weeks and days and due date are directly from the mouth of my doctor and when I doubly check it, the math is right. Why is your math off?

This is my second time using it. I love how it works. Telling me everything. Thanks!!!

There is a lot of adds when you go on amma and they take a good minute to finally give you the exit option the information is ok not the best and the baby sizes that it gives you are a bit strange it compres baby’s size to two coconut or a basket of fruit

I really liked amma and used it for almost 3 months until the ads started nonstop. Can’t click on anything without having to watch a 30 second ad every time. Not worth the time.

Good information in articles, however there are too many ads and they have my gestational age incorrect despite having the correct dates entered

amma used to have normal pop-up ads that you could close out right away. Now it’s a video game ad that you cannot get rid of. There’s no way to read the information unless you just set your phone down, go walk the dog, make dinner, and mow the yard. Maybe then the ad will be finished when you return.

It’s an ok app. Just uses a little too many technical terms. I am all for education but I think the language should be a little more simple and easy to understand. Other than that amma is informative .....

User friendly and amazingly informative!

How do I change the due date? It’s off by one day, but that’s driving me bonkers!

amma has way to many ads and when the ads are done they make the x to exist out of it far to tiny to tap it trying to get you to download whatever the ad was for its ridiculous how money hungry a company can be

It reads like it was written by a hard-headed male doctor, and the translation into English is mediocre at best. I didn’t care for the overall tone and the lack of acknowledgement that different women experience different symptoms at different times. But hey, maybe it’s just my “irritability and irrationality”.

Not all users are women...try having a mom/ dad/other selector.

The content about baby and mom’s bodies reads like a bot wrote it or it was translated using Google translate from another language. I couldn’t stand it. Off to find another app.

amma tells you nothing about the baby and has too many grammatical errors for my liking. 2 stars for not having cartoon looking fetus pics.

After the new update it seems to be off by a week...

So far it seems to a really good app!!!
