1. [R2] Baby Story 5/5 · US Such a great app for new parents: I would like the option to turn my story into an actual book that’s printable. I don’t mind paying however much for it but that would be super cool.
2. [R8] Baby Story 4/5 · US Great photo editing: I really like this app for documenting my babies’s first year. My only complaint, is that I don’t see an option to actually create a baby book. I would love to just order something through the app. As opposed to taking it and ordering through Shutterfly. There might be something I am missing, I am hoping to hear back from the app support, but it has already been a couple of we
3. [R68] The Bump 5/5 · US Great milestone information: This will be my third pregnancy using this app. I learn so much throughout the pregnancy and it keeps me on track. I love being able to look at milestones with my first child.
4. [R71] The Bump 5/5 · US Amazing pregnancy app!: I didn’t expect an app to make pregnancy feel this organized and actually exciting, but The Bump really does. From day one, it’s been like having a calm, helpful guide in my pocket. The weekly updates are my favorite, they’re detailed but easy to understand, and I love seeing how my baby is growing in a way that actually feels real. The visuals, the size comparisons, the li
5. [R12] Baby Story 3/5 · US Freezes constantly: Has cool options but the app freezes after the first action. I have to close down the app and reopen it. Can’t even edit a single photo
6. [R52] Baby Story 4/5 · US Great app but…: I love this app. But lately since a few updates, it keeps crashing when I use my phone. It’d be better if I could actually use the app when I want to.
7. [R66] The Bump 3/5 · US Love the app, hate the glitches: I love the feeding tracker but the timer frequently jumps numbers and sometimes even after I’ve paused one side and started timing the other breast, the timer will run on both breasts. And of course it always happens at night when I really don’t feel like dealing with anything extra. I’ve tried closing the app and restarting it but this doesn’t always fix the issue
8. [R69] The Bump 3/5 · US Good app, if it works: I like the app when it works! It’s incredibly glitchy and takes a long time to load when opening.
9. [R28] Baby Story 1/5 · US Heartbroken!!: I have been keeping up with my last baby’s milestones with this app! Every. Last. One! Log in to add the newest milestone at 9 months and everything is GONE! I paid for an annual subscription and I am devastated!! I emailed support and the only response I received was them asking if the problem was fixed, which made me even more upset. I pray this can be restored or I’ll be expectin
10. [R40] Baby Story 1/5 · US Entire story disappeared: I updated the app and my whole story I've been adding to for 4 months vanished. I'm not even able to email support, it says "email could not be sent"
11. [R70] The Bump 1/5 · US Need to fix: The app keeps logging me out, which is really frustrating. Also all the journals disappeared when it upgraded automatically and no where to be found.
12. [R90] The Bump 2/5 · US Disappointing: Used it for my first pregnancy and it was great, never had any issues. 2 years later when I tried to add my second pregnancy I’ve had nothing but issues. Won’t properly display baby’s nickname (just blank), logs me out frequently, and error messages saying it can’t load data every other day. Never had a single one of these issues with my last pregnancy and thinking I will just delet
13. [R21] Baby Story 3/5 · US Still costs more: You pay for the app and then all of the decent stickers cost additional money. Just a warning! I was disappointed in that. If you’re okay with minimal selection without paying more then it’s perfect for you!
14. [R45] Baby Story 1/5 · US Annoying!: They let you edit ONE a picture on the free version using the stickers. If you try to go back in and edit another one using the stickers they’re locked unless you purchase the plus version. There aren’t hardly any sticker packs that are free…esp the ones I wanted to use like the fruit comparison ones or food comparison one. I deleted it.
15. [R80] The Bump 5/5 · US Amazing free resource: Thank you for offering this information for free! It’s so helpful and surprising to find free support online these days! Great ap with loads of resources
16. [R113] The Bump 5/5 · US It’s real free: Great app and doesn’t want you to pay to share any article etc.
17. [R19] Baby Story 1/5 · US Charged for a year when I never signed up: I downloaded this app to see what features it had and noticed that they charged my bank for a year subscription. I asked for a refund and was told that they do not offer refunds.
18. [R111] The Bump 5/5 · US I love this app BUT there’s some issues they need to fix!: Okay I really love this app and how it keeps me informed each week about what to expect from my son! However whenever the app suggests something and there’s a little link you can click on it goes to the new page but freezes and you can’t go back or do anything you need to close out the app and restart it and go back into the app and even
