WeMoms is a social network for women, offering pregnancy tracking, baby development insights, and a supportive community.

Recurring themes

Ads & Monetization negative
Many recent reviews heavily criticize the overwhelming number of long, unskippable, and interactive ads that make the app unusable. Users who previously enjoyed the app for free or paid for ad-free versions report a significant increase in ads, with some unable to access content at all. There are also complaints about misleading 'free trials' that lead to unexpected charges and difficulty canceling subscriptions.R1R2R4R5
Community Support positive
A strong positive theme is the supportive community of other mothers. Users appreciate being able to connect, share experiences, ask questions, and receive advice, which helps reduce anxiety and feelings of isolation during pregnancy and postpartum.R10R11R15R16
Pregnancy Tracking & Info positive
Many users value the app for its comprehensive pregnancy tracking, including weekly baby growth updates, 3D visuals, fruit comparisons, and informative articles. This feature helps expectant mothers understand their baby's development and their own body changes.R15R17R19R20
Technical & Content Issues negative
Users report various technical problems such as the app crashing, articles not loading, and inability to join groups. There are also complaints about misleading advertising regarding realistic baby imagery, inaccurate baby sizing, and insensitive notifications after a loss.R240R243R244R248
Localization & Inclusivity negative
Some Canadian users are frustrated by the app defaulting to French without an option to change the language, forcing them to select the US as their country. There is also a review mentioning the app's perceived sexism for not including fathers.R279R280R281R282

Who it's for

WeMoms is for first-time mothers or those seeking a supportive community during pregnancy and postpartum R10R15. It's also suitable for users who want detailed weekly tracking of their baby's growth and access to informational articles R29R60. However, it is NOT for users who are sensitive to frequent, intrusive ads, or those who expect a truly free experience without constant upsells R5. It is also not ideal for Canadian users who prefer English and don't want to change their country settings R279.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to the overwhelming ad experience and subscription issues, directly contradicting the developer's notes about 'optimal experience' and 'major improvements'. While the lifetime rating is high, the recent sentiment indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction.

  1. [R10] 5/5 · US Wonderful App: I love this App! I am a first-time mom, and I always look forward to learning more about the growth and development of my baby girl from other moms. The community is also a wonderful resource to use to ask questions and gain knowledge.
  2. [R11] 5/5 · US Love this app: This app helped me get through my pregnancy with constant love and support from other moms.
  3. [R15] 5/5 · US Best app for pregnancy: This is my favorite app for tracking pregnancy. I don’t see how anyone could hate the app honestly. It gives you tons of supportive mothers, you can make anew friends, find other girls to get advice from and track your pregnancy. It’s a great app for first time moms. Personally I’ve been using the app for 2 years and I love it. I definitely recommend it to any mom out there
  4. [R16] 5/5 · US Review: I love WeMoms! Definitely has helped me connect with new moms on a deeper level and has gotten me through my postpartum. Love to connect with women who just can relate
  5. [R17] 5/5 · US Pregnancy journey: I’ve been on this app through 3 pregnancies and the first time I had a loss this app has a group for loss and I would recommend staying on bc so many moms can relate and help you work through emotions. It’s good to be understood and able to vent when you can’t talk to the ppl around you. During pregnancy you see 3d image of baby and you get facts about different pregnancy concer
  6. [R19] 5/5 · US Absolutely LOVE: This app has been amazing in tracking my first baby I had loved getting to see her grow each week and learning different things about each week of prenancy!
  7. [R20] 5/5 · US I love this app so much n all the mommies: This app keep photos of my past pregnancy which I love because as a young mom I miss place all my pictures even keep track of when they were born and how many weeks I was I been using this app for 2 years n love it so much
  8. [R23] 5/5 · US Great app for Moms to be: I’m about to have my baby in a couple of weeks and I’m so glad I used WeMoms thru these 9 months. Gave me great insight on what was happening with my body and my baby. The community tab was great as well, getting to see that you were not alone was very nice.
  9. [R33] 5/5 · US best app: has helped so much keep track of the baby’s growth and helped with my anxiety
  10. [R32] 5/5 · US My baby: This app has helped me throughout my entire pregnancy. Even the ones I’ve miscarried it told me what was wrong. It showed me what I should do is told me when I need to get help. It didn’t make me feel dumb, but was very helpful and even my guy friends were like wow I didn’t know any of that. Neither did I really great at.
  11. [R1] 2/5 · US Not a huge fan: I really wanted to love this app but there are so many long ads to navigate through before you can access any free content. It’s very annoying if you just want to check something quickly.
  12. [R2] 1/5 · US Deleting: I don’t want the app anymore because everyone I open it there’s an ad. Then once the ad goes away, the app it self says to scratch the heart because I won something.
  13. [R5] 1/5 · US Ads make it unusable: I used this app for my first pregnancy and really liked it. I paid for a year to get rid of the ads. I’m pregnant again with #2 and went back to it but there are way more ads and it makes the app unusable. Is far as I can tell, you can’t pay for the year any more it’s $1/week which is wild.
  14. [R6] 1/5 · US Ads: I can’t even get past the ads to get back on the app.
  15. [R241] 1/5 · US Ads.: The app itself was great when I paid the $6 WEEKLY for extras but once you cancel the membership, you watch a minute ad everytime you open the app and then offered to remove them for $3. I switched to lively (period and pregnancy tracker) and paid for the year. Much more affordable and more to see. I only come back to this app for the pregnancy calendar.
  16. [R242] 2/5 · US Free Three Day Trial: How do I cancel the trial? Would like to not be charged $60. Thanks.
  17. [R243] 1/5 · US Hate it: I downloaded the app a couple days ago and when I try to click on an article to read it NEVER loads no matter if I close the app and open it back up, this is after I paid $3.99 for the ad free version so I feel robbed for my money. DO NOT GET THIS APP TO AVOID THE HEADACHE. I REGRET GIVING THEM MY MONEY. UNINSTALLING THE APP IMMEDIATELY.
  18. [R262] 1/5 · CA Lied about “free trail”: This app lies and tells you oh start a free trail but then automatically charges your account $28.24 smh I need my money back because I did not agree to pay anything I agreed to a free trail and was lied to. I’ve never had such betrayal with any other pregnancy apps. I need my money back asap !
  19. [R4] 1/5 · US False Advertising: When being promoted it states its a free application. Free to download. I recommend P.C. Its totally free and no charge at all! Tracked my period, when becoming pregnant it switched to tracking my pregnancy.
  20. [R240] 3/5 · US Misleading: The app is fine, but the ads for it show the baby way more realistically, when it’s not like that at all. That feature was the only reason I picked this app and it doesn’t even have it.
  21. [R248] 1/5 · US Misleading at best: You won’t see any 3D tracking until you’ve created an account that you probably don’t need and answered an entire health survey so that their “experts” can create a “program” for you. Im sure you won’t get harangued daily or spend a fortune. False advertising on Instagram.
  22. [R249] 1/5 · US Awful Graphics: This app was utterly falsely advertised. The imagery is eerie. You are FAR better off with Pregnancy +, trust me.
  23. [R279] 3/5 · CA Not All Canadians Speak French: Seems like a good app, but I had to change the country to US just to be able to read the information/posts in English. Just because people live in Canada does not mean they are French. The app should have a language option and not assume the language based on country of origin.
  24. [R280] 1/5 · CA All in French.: Might be a good app if you can read French.
  25. [R282] 1/5 · CA No option to change language: This app is terrible, comes default in french and there is no option to change the language, will not allow me to change my location to the United States. Waist of time unless you speak french.
  26. [R252] 2/5 · GB Not very satisfied: At first I thought it was an ok app, however the more I used it I became frustrated I watched long ads to see the articles but then after watching the screen went blank and I couldn’t access the articles. It’s very disappointing
  27. [R255] 2/5 · GB Why I’m not able to join a group … this app is stuck …..: Don’t know why but app is not working. Like i am not able to join any group and without joining any group i cannot open the app
  28. [R264] 1/5 · CA Crashing: App keeps crashing and saying error
  29. [R254] 1/5 · GB Not good: Very inaccurate with sizing etc, compared to multiple other apps this is the only one saying baby is much smaller than real size
  30. [R244] 1/5 · US Terrible: Keeps sending me updates about the baby I lost a couple months ago. I’m pregnant again and logged the first one as a loss and it still keeps sending me updates about the baby I lost and not my new pregnancy. Awful reminder. Will be deleting the app
  31. [R271] 2/5 · CA Notifications: I’m in my first trimester of my first pregnancy, I really hate that the only notifications I receive from community posts are the ones about miscarriage and loss. As an already anxious first time pregnant person this really freaks me out
  32. [R246] 1/5 · US Twins: It doesn’t have an option for twins
  33. [R281] 1/5 · CA Et les papas ?: Comment revenir 100 ans en arrière ! Savez vous qu'à notre époque des hommes s'occupent des enfants aussi ? Une application des plus sexiste !
  34. [R231] 1/5 · US Too many ads: You can’t even enjoy the app without them wanting you to play some sort of game. If you purchase the ad free is the only way to possibly avoid that. Why would I pay for a tracking app when it’s tons of other FREE good ones.
  35. [R29] 5/5 · US Been using this app: I like how this app makes it easy to track my pregnancy and see how my baby’s growing.
  36. [R50] 5/5 · US WeMoms: amazing app! i look at it almost every day. and the community it has put together helps so much, talking to other moms about the same problem you are having is extremely helpful. makes you feel less alone.
  37. [R60] 5/5 · US Very informative: This app has been an absolute lifesaver throughout my pregnancy journey! From tracking my baby’s development week by week to getting helpful tips on symptoms, nutrition, and what to expect, everything is so easy to understand and reassuring. I love how the content feels supportive and relatable, it really helps ease anxiety and makes me feel more prepared for each stage. The remi
  38. [R273] 1/5 · CA No free trial!: Signed up for the free trial - they took my money anyway. Total scam. Better off using a legitimate free app.
