- [R37] BabyCenter Pregnancy Tracker So many free benefits: You can track the size/comparisons. You can track your own body throughout the weeks and what is happening. There are groups you can join along with daily tips and linked articles for more information. My favorite part is all of the little daily activities that give you coins and you can use the coins for coupons off pregnancy/postpartum/baby items. I’m genuinely surprised t
- [R63] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker HATE THE NEW UPDATE: I really enjoyed being able to customize the app using the cute color theme that have been available FOR YEARS. Why is it necessary to take the color and fun out of everything.
- [R3] BabyCenter Pregnancy Tracker Continually Have to Login: Apps are not convenient when you have to log back in every time you use them.

- [R88] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker I lost everything: Honestly I loved the Ovia pregnancy app, I tracked my entire pregnancy on it! But I lost everything when they switched to this app. I am extremely upset about it.
- [R91] Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker Worst app EVER! They lost all my data!: Untrustworthy platform! DO NOT USE!!! They recently migrated all the Ovia Pregnancy data into Ovia Cycle & Pregnancy Tracker to combine the apps and decommission the Pregnancy app. The only notice in the Pregnancy app was that it was going away but no additional info for how the customer can ensure their data will migrate correctly nor an exact date.
