Recurring themes

Pregnancy Information positive
Users consistently praise the app for its comprehensive and informative content regarding pregnancy, including weekly updates, 3D visuals, and tips for expectant mothers. Many find it a valuable resource for understanding their pregnancy journey.R1R3R6R8
Baby Tracking Bugs negative
A significant number of recent reviews highlight severe bugs in the post-delivery baby tracking features, particularly for nursing/feeding and diaper changes. Users report data not saving, times resetting, or incorrect times being logged, making the tracker unreliable and frustrating for new parents. This directly contradicts the developer's claim of 'small optimizations and bug fixes' in the latest update.R29R35R125R709
Community Issues negative
The community discussion boards are a source of frequent complaints, with users reporting issues like moderator censorship of differing opinions, bullying, harassment, and the presence of scammers. The recent update's focus on community notifications doesn't address these underlying content and moderation problems.R23R172R190R584
Data Privacy & Location negative
Users express strong concerns about data privacy, citing instances of receiving unsolicited baby formula samples after miscarrying and a general feeling that their data is being sold. There are also complaints about the app requiring excessive personal details like home addresses and forcing email sign-ups. Furthermore, many international users find the app unusable or limited due to a lack of country options and US-centric content.R75R172R240R295
Content Bias/Accuracy negative
Several reviews criticize the app's content for being biased, outdated, or inaccurate. Specific examples include promoting controversial 'cry it out' sleep training methods as early as 4 months, referring to babies exclusively as 'her', pushing specific views on vaccines, and providing inaccurate baby measurements. The content is also noted for being very American-centric.R307R308R309R473
User Experience/UI mixed
While some users find the app easy to use, others report a messy UI, excessive ads that interrupt reading, videos that don't play or have no sound, and frustrating password requirements. The app also lacks customization options for units of measurement or diverse baby animations.R2R115R258R378

Who it's for

This app is for expectant parents looking for a free, comprehensive resource to track their pregnancy week-by-week and access general information and tips R1R22. It is particularly suitable for those who value detailed pregnancy updates and enjoy community forums, provided they are aware of the moderation issues .

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew negative, with a 3.7% recent-negative signal, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. Many positive reviews are brief and general, while negative reviews provide specific, detailed complaints, especially regarding post-partum tracking bugs and community issues. The confidence is high due to the consistency and detail of the negative feedback across multiple regions, despite the overall positive lifetime rating.

  1. [R1] 5/5 · US Informative!: Not just a great tracker but informative too! Love the discussion boards as well!
  2. [R3] 5/5 · US Great app: Every pregnancy I come back to this app.. Love it
  3. [R6] 5/5 · US Amazing!!: Helps to keep me updated and when I’m having a concern it helps me figure out what to do! The 3D pics also of what is happening in my tummy are just amazing
  4. [R8] 4/5 · US Fourth time using the app!: I love watching my babies grow with the app. It lets you know what’s growing in particular that week, symptoms you might notice, and has a selection of different styles you can choose through for watching the size of your baby grow. Whether it be fruit (my favorite) or movie props etc.
  5. [R4] 5/5 · US my most used app during pregnancy: I loved this app because I was able to use it as a diary for my baby once she is born and it also helped me track my pregnancy experience and health.
  6. [R5] 5/5 · US Best app ever!: I started using during my pregnancy and now for postpartum and it’s been a life saver. I love it!
  7. [R10] 5/5 · US Recommend: I’ve used this app with both of my pregnancies and I love it I tried to use the options for registries and freebies and though signing up and filling things out online was easy I never received anything, it wasn’t my main concern so I didn’t pay much more attention to that aspect of the app. The new version gives all these cute little things to compare the size of the baby and the tips
  8. [R21] 5/5 · US What to expect: Very great for tracking ! Periods , pregnancy .
  9. [R22] 5/5 · US Amazing and free: Finally a free app that helps you learn about your pregnancy week by week with daily tips, loved it!

  11. [R47] 5/5 · US Great, free, and simple app!!!: Love this app, it’s simple to use, Full of information, and free!
  12. [R48] 5/5 · US Great app: Free and is great with giving info and no ads
  13. [R29] 3/5 · US Great Pregnancy Info, Baby Tracker Too Buggy to Use: I give the pregnancy tracker side of this app 4 stars. It’s easy to use and has a ton of helpful articles. (The article search could be better, but you figure out its quirks quickly.) Unfortunately, the baby tracker, which you will need once baby arrives to log your endless feedings and diapers, is buggy to the point of being unusable. Use this
  14. [R35] 3/5 · US It's okay: glitchy tracker: Ok the information they provide is pretty good. It really helped me understand what's going on during pregnancy. However, the tracker sucks. It glitches A LOT. Especially to add nursing time manually, it resets whatever I recorded when I touch either date, time, or nursing time. It really frustrates me with already exhausted and sleep deprived body. So for learning a
  15. [R125] 2/5 · US So Many Errors: This app has become practically unusable for timing breast-feeding sessions. 90% of the time that I start a session, by the time I get back to it, it shows that there was an error, saving the session and completely wiped out the clock. This has been really difficult when trying to time how long my underweight daughter has eaten. I used to recommend it but can’t anymore.
  16. [R709] 3/5 · AU Please fix the breast feeding timer!!: WTE has been super helpful throughout my entire pregnancy however now that bub has arrived, it’s not so great at tracking my breast feeding 🙁 Dev Team, can you please please please fix the issue? I’ll go in and start the feed, go and do something else on my phone and go back to the app and it says there is an error, please enter manually…. As a tired mum, I w
  17. [R23] 1/5 · US This App is TOXIC!: I’ve seen other reviews stating the same issue about the moderators deleting people’s posts/comments if they don’t align with “the views of the moderators “ I have just become a victim of this toxic app. I had a different opinion about a subject in the community, non of my comments regarding my opinion were inappropriate, yet all of my comments were deleted! I’ve seen some very
  18. [R172] 1/5 · US No long anonymous: This all is meh for its pregnancy/baby info so I only used it for its community feature, which has its own problems with extreme political bias on the part of the moderators. However recently they just made profiles clickable so you can see all the posts and comments any given user has made. This makes it so extremely easy for people with bad intentions to target and stalk vulner
  19. [R190] 1/5 · US Most vicious app for women ever: They promote bullying. Someone should sue them. They advocate for bullying.
  20. [R710] 1/5 · AU Discussion boards: Discussion boards are filled with aggressive bullying and moderators allow it. Sad adult women abuse people in what should be respectful community. The community is mostly Americans.
  21. [R75] 1/5 · US Sells your data: I started using this app when I found out I was pregnant. I miscarried and now I am receiving free samples of baby formula. Feels like I’m being punched in the face whenever I get the mail. They must have sold my name and address to these companies. What a terrible company.
  22. [R356] 2/5 · GB Address required?: I used to love this app for my previous pregnancy but now it seems as though I need to input a lot of personal details I am not comfortable with sharing with a random app? Why on earth would you need my home address to track my pregnancy? Obviously will be providing fake details as I still want to use the app but these questions should not be asked.
  23. [R368] 1/5 · GB Forces you to sign up for emails: You cannot make an account without agreeing to receive emails. Just lost all respect for this website and company.
  24. [R307] 1/5 · GB CIO: Actively promotes CIO, big NO from me.
  25. [R308] 1/5 · GB Advocates sleep training and CIO: Please choose another app. Advocating cry it out sleep training methods and using the words ‘research shows it doesn’t harm baby’ is just not true.
  26. [R309] 1/5 · GB Child abuse: The weekly visual pregnancy updates are the only good thing about this app. Their articles recommend literal child abuse - advising cry it out for babies as young as 4 months old, and apparently it’s ok if they ‘get so worked up about it they vomit repeatedly’. New parents, please don’t use this app as your guide to caring for your precious child. Learn about nurture. Read about biolo
  27. [R518] 2/5 · CA Useful features but info is biased and lacks support: I like many of this apps features like the journal for your pregnancy experiences. However, it didn't take long for me to notice that the information provided on the app through articles and videos tends to support certain controversial views without strong support or consideration of other views. Topics like vaccines, formula, and daycare are
  28. [R240] 3/5 · GB No country option: I tried to choose my country but there is is no option and without that it doesn’t work
  29. [R295] 3/5 · GB Unable to edit my address: I am in the UK and I can’t seem to change my address, is this supposed to work for people living in the USA only?
  30. [R590] 3/5 · CA More Residence Options: I used this app the first time I got pregnant and although it didn’t end the way I hoped I enjoyed the app. I just recently found out I’m expecting again and went to go input it to find it’s now requiring me to enter a US State of residence to input my pregnancy when I don’t in fact live in the US, making the app entirely unusable for me now. I understand recent law changes
  31. [R700] 3/5 · CA Boo👎: I loved this app but you can’t get any freebies if your not in the US. Was wondering why my Amazon registry never worked in here. It’s because of that.
  32. [R584] 3/5 · CA Great for tracking baby. Needs work in communities.: The community part of the app needs a lot of improvement. The posts don’t load and activity notifications don’t work.
  33. [R627] 2/5 · CA Constant freezing issues with app: I got this app to track pregnancy, however I am constantly closing out of the community page and having to restart the app as it freezes non stop multiple times in a row. They need to fix this issue.
  34. [R646] 3/5 · CA Times are wrong after the time change: After the time change today the times are showing up completely out of whack when I track something. It appears to be an hour behind where it should be and then when I close the app and open it again it is showing up two hours off. Ie) I fed her at 7, and it’s showing up as 6 when I record it, after closing the app and opening it again it’s showing up as 5.
  35. [R473] 1/5 · CA Not reliable information: It has the second trimester starting at 14 weeks but the second tri starts at 13 weeks?
  36. [R499] 1/5 · CA Immediately Deleted: Deleted this app right after setting up, I’m due in 3 months and this app was trying to tell me I’m only 7weeks along
  37. [R545] 1/5 · CA Inaccurate: None of the baby sizes are actually anywhere near accurate, stay away from this app unless you want incorrect information
  38. [R559] 3/5 · CA Measurements inaccurate: The weight and length measurements are inaccurate. I’ve compared with three other apps which as state the same for the same week - this is the only app that measures SMALLER. Confirmed by ultrasound that baby is bigger than this app says
  39. [R2] 1/5 · US Frustrating: It’s frustrating that I don’t have any information to read everything is just a video. Lacks information. Will have to find a new app.
  40. [R115] 1/5 · US Messy UI, mostly links to articles: It’s mostly links/ads for the WTE website. The UI is a mess of unhelpful information. There are much better pregnancy trackers out there. This one’s just trying to push you to the website constantly.
  41. [R258] 3/5 · GB Better than others but irritating for various reasons: The app works well for its intended purpose but, my God, does it grind your gears while doing so. Example: ‘ At 9 weeks pregnant, your little one is now about 1 inch long, the size of a medium green olive, but no martinis, please.’ 🤦🏻‍♀️ Yeah, we got that memo, thanks. I gave up attempting to watch the videos because of the excessively sac
  42. [R378] 2/5 · GB It’s good but…: An option needs to be featured for different races for the foetus and baby animation. Weird checking the app and seeing a little baby growing that’s a different colour and race to animation colour you can choose of yourself. My pregnancy + app caters to every race and has so many options and more person centred. This app is more generalised. Would be better if they made it more
