Fabulous vs Baby Story

What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R2] Fabulous 5/5 · US Habits: Wonderful to keep me on track.
2. [R4] Fabulous 1/5 · US Confusing & Stressful: I’m going to cancel this after an hour. It just wasn’t for me. I think it’s supposed to be guided, but it feels convoluted and unpleasant.
3. [R5] Fabulous 5/5 · US Fabulous works: I love this app it has helped me to track my emotions and what I’m doing every day.
4. [R8] Fabulous 5/5 · US Baby steps work!: In the last two weeks, I have already been more successful at keeping a routine than I have in the previous 30 years. I recommend this app to get you started.
5. [R9] Fabulous 3/5 · US Too many “journeys”: I liked the idea behind this app, but it’s really cluttered and messy to use. There are way too many things to click, too many “journeys”, too many screens to click through on each thing you do, too many graphics (which feel juvenile; maybe I’m too old for this app?). It just doesn’t feel legitimate with all of the weird cartoons and doesn’t line up with the idea that all of t
6. [R16] Fabulous 1/5 · US Ridiculous, offers of free trial buggy: The signup process is completely broken. I clicked through from IG, opened in browser, took the survey, got to the payment page and selected $1 for the trial. Tried to Apple Pay, which said it went through, but declined. Tried 4 times. Got email saying I had a 30 day free trial waiting for me. Clicked through from there, got to payment page again, same issue
7. [R33] Fabulous 1/5 · US Unwieldy, frustrating waste of time: Horrifically restrictive UI and user experience, infuriating and slow animations, difficult to find any information or adjust settings, and app does not seem to verify email well or really have any functional integration with previous purchases, trials, or information from the non-app website.
8. [R1] Fabulous 1/5 · US Ghost charges: You guys keep trying to charge my card twice! One for $29.99 and the other for $39.99. I ended my subscription literally the same day I started the free trial. I told my bank you are a fraud and they have blocked you from trying to charge. I still see you trying because I get a decline notice. STOP CHARGING ME YOU FRAUDS
9. [R3] Fabulous 3/5 · US Major headache but i got refund: I was able to get a refund. Warning: TO SAVE YOUR HEADACHE, DO NOT SIGN UP THROUGH INSTAGRAM!!! I got charged twice on the premium plans! But thankfully customer service actually gave me a refund. Ty
10. [R7] Fabulous 1/5 · US I feel completely misled by this app.: During onboarding, I selected a 1 euro free trial, shortly afterwards I was charged 40 euros for 1:1 coaching that I neither wanted or knowingly agreed to purchase I have already cancelled all subscription and contacted support requesting a refund but this experience has left me with a negative impression What frustrates me the most is the use of hidden s
11. [R10] Fabulous 1/5 · US It’s so sad that an app meant to help is hurting people: I signed up for Fabulous app and then couldn’t afford the 39.99. For some reason the app didn’t have a place for me to cancel. Some kind of error within my account. So the app declined a refund. I said okay there’s nothing I can do but stop charging me moving forward. Now months later, I have another fraudulent charge and I no longer even us
12. [R25] Fabulous 1/5 · US Be careful: Update 2: I had to escalate by filing a fraud claim with a French group that helps consumers (The Fab is a French company). That was the only thing that worked to get a refund after they continued to charge me. I read online they are considered a predatory company. This type of thing apparently happens so often (cancellation followed by continuing to charge the customer then gaslightin
13. [R29] Fabulous 1/5 · US FRAUD, SNEAKY, SCAMMY: I see someone else in the reviews had the exact same experience as me. I signed up for a trial version but canceled my subscription within a couple of days. Double checked under Apple subscriptions, which indicated that it was now inactive. And then a week or 2 later, was charged 4 times on my credit card for a total of $150. My credit card blocked the 5th payment. I had to
14. [R13] Fabulous 2/5 · US Well designed but deceptive pay structure: Beware this app lures you with a survey. Then it tells you to pay what you want for the survey results but that payment is actually a trial for a subscription. You never get survey results; it just directs you to begin using the app to justify charging you at the end of the trial period.
15. [R39] Fabulous 1/5 · US Tricky.: Lost credibility when they said $1. And then asked a series of questions where you click to accept “free offers” and they sneak one in and it’s not free. Then you have to jump through hoops to cancel. And even their cancel page is deceptive. They have a cancel subscription button on top and is assumed you have cancelled them all. Nope. You have to go to each one and cancel. And it’s
16. [R51] Fabulous 1/5 · US scam: if someone walked up to you and said “you can pay one dollar for this drink but i’m gonna charge your card 40$ secretly in a week.” you wouldn’t take that deal, so don’t waste your time with this app.
17. [R37] Fabulous 1/5 · US Too buggy to use: Cannot get the first “mountain” to load. Force quit app and restarted phone but it keeps freezing.
18. [R61] Baby Story 1/5 · US love but it’s not working anymore: i pay for the whole app, and lately i can’t even update photos to my sons story. i love this app but cmon please fix your stuff
19. [R63] Baby Story 3/5 · US Pictures not loading for the story: I absolutely loved this app. I didn’t mind paying at all until it stopped working. I’ve been using this since I found out I was pregnant with my first baby. I would add details or symptoms or fun moments to the stories section and I’ve had no problems. Then I had my daughter and I added an album for after she was born and no problems but after 6 months it’s now
