  1. [R1] The Bump 1/5 · US Annoying: I got this app and thought it was helpful to have while tracking my pregnancy. Until I clicked on an article that discussed learning about the gender of the baby. Within the article it had a whole paragraph describing how gender and sex are different terms. Which, is not biologically true nor was this ever true. This type of agenda should not be pushed within articles on pregnancy tracki
  2. [R2] The Bump 5/5 · US Love love love this app: I can’t put into words how much I love this app! 😍 I first saw this app when I was pregnant with my first child my son back in 2020. Then I got pregnant again with my daughter back in 2024 and I still have it today I’m pregnant again for a third time and I love this app
  3. [R7] The Bump 1/5 · US Glitches & Inaccuracy: It will glitch often and you’ll be stuck at the Home Screen. Also refers to breast feeding as “chest feeding” and calls us women “pregnant people”
  4. [R8] 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.
  5. [R3] The Bump 3/5 · US It’s just ok: I like that it gives daily updates of how big baby is but it gets very confusing. For example, I’m 12 weeks and baby is supposed to be the size of a lime, however on like the daily facts it says that the baby is as long as the diameter of a golf ball. Those are two VERY different sizes. This is my first baby and if I have a second I probably would not download this again.
  6. [R6] 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
  7. [R9] 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.
  8. [R10] 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.
  9. [R4] The Bump 1/5 · US Another couple’s info populated in my account: I just downloaded this app a few days ago and didn’t spend too much time looking around until today. I noticed that the initial in the top right corner that indicates the user’s name didn’t match my first name, so I went into the account details. Another person’s full name (not in any way related to my own) is in the “My Account” fields, and another f
  10. [R64] Pregnancy Baby Tracker 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
  11. [R70] Pregnancy Baby Tracker 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.
  12. [R20] 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
  13. [R53] The Bump 5/5 · US It’s real free: Great app and doesn’t want you to pay to share any article etc.
  14. [R56] The Bump 5/5 · US THE MOST AMAZING INFORMATIVE BABY APP YOU’LL EVER NEED: This app is Free, and for any Mom at any stage of Pregnancy. It has 3D Interactive features to see the growth and daily milestones of your Baby growing in your Bump. It is loaded with info. Even my Doctors were thoroughly impressed.. I am grateful for all the available features on it at no cost, especially due to having been out of work f
  15. [R69] Pregnancy Baby Tracker 3/5 · US A Providers review, more affordable subscriptions: The information as easily accessible with AI search, the searchable Free information comes with a paid subscriptions, which doesn’t make sense because you’re charging people for free information essentially. I do like your products the battery die fast in the body temperature thermometer and they did not last long, but I would still recommend this
  16. [R11] 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
  17. [R80] Pregnancy Baby Tracker 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.
  18. [R18] The Bump 3/5 · US Auto Log out: I like the app for articles and the 3D imaging of the fetus development each week, but it logs me out automatically at times. Like many people, I’m can’t keep track of all of the logins I have, so it’s a big hassle to try to log back in. I also don’t like the community chat layout. It’s hard to navigate. The one in Ovia is better.
  19. [R62] Pregnancy Baby Tracker 5/5 · US Informative!: Not just a great tracker but informative too! Love the discussion boards as well!
  20. [R100] Pregnancy Baby Tracker 5/5 · US Love love love this app!: Everything about this app is amazing, as a FTM, all of the tips, the community boards, and helpful advice, it’s been my go to during every point of my pregnancy!
  21. [R111] Pregnancy Baby Tracker 5/5 · US 2nd time using: Has really helped in tracking pregnancy and giving insight on symptoms, dos and don’ts. Also great community to connect with other expecting moms.
  22. [R13] The Bump 2/5 · US Not good anymore: Feels like the developers and owners abandoned it or something. A bunch of features are buggy or don’t work at all (like the 3D models), I’m regularly logged out and have to find my login info. It doesn’t update unless I force a restart, so I regularly open the app and get the wrong number of weeks which is the #1 thing the app is supposed to do: say how far along we are! Why doe
  23. [R21] The Bump 3/5 · US Crashes daily: App locks me out/crashes daily and the estimates of fetal size are inconsistent. Otherwise very good
  24. [R16] The Bump 2/5 · US So Liberal: A “pregnant person” is a woman…. Just say woman.
  25. [R19] The Bump 1/5 · US Pregnant Person: I encourage you to use biologically accurate language. Women experience pregnancy, and I can’t continue to support a platform that overlooks that truth. We are not pregnant “people”.
