  1. [R2] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 4/5 · US No symptom tracking until 5 weeks.: This app is great and I love it-I have all of Glow’s apps. Warning to those who found out they were pregnant early like me: you cannot track symptoms until 5 weeks because apparently you wouldn’t have any symptoms until then… please do with that info what you will. I have, in the meantime, been tracking my symptoms in another app. Really unfortunate.
  2. [R9] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 3/5 · US Better apps exist: I will start with the positives- I love the weekly updates and the daily articles. I love that there are number of free articles a week. I appreciate the curated information. I like that it’s synced to the other Glow apps. Somethings I would like to see improved- the ads are a little much, including the product pushing in the free articles. The Shop feature is not very helpful
  3. [R18] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 3/5 · US Eh… It used to be great.: This was a great app until it changed. Its a little hard to navigate now and it limits your access to features and content based on your subscription. You pretty much have a calendar and can ONLY PREVIEW the important stuff. I think the articles should be free to read at least. I deleted my account because of this sudden change!
  4. [R20] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 5/5 · US My fav pregnancy app!!: I absolutely LOVE this app!! I love the 3d image of what my baby looks like at each stage, all the information and articles, and I especially love the community section where you can make posts and reply to other people’s posts. So great for that support you really need while you’re going through pregnancy, esp if you’re doing it alone (without a partner). I’ve found the su
  5. [R1] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 1/5 · US App doesn’t allow you to update anything aside from date but your profile is not able to be changed: Once I put a picture I’m not able to change it no matter how much I tried. I tried contacting support multiple times and they have not gotten back to me and it’s been 3 months or longer now
  6. [R3] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 3/5 · US Ads, notifications, and sales: The app is nice the information is good. But even paying for premium I get tons of ads, my partner gets no access to our logs and I can’t turn off old notifications or ads. I also can’t add my latest bumpie it just won’t save. It’s super glitchy and getting more annoying by the week. It’s become more annoying than what I paid for which btw was the lifetime premium me
  7. [R6] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 3/5 · US Used to be great: This app has fallen since I first started using it 7 years ago. It’s now filled with ads - even as a premium member - and the community is pushed way too much for how toxic it is. I just want to see a visual of my baby and learn about where I am in its development. The widget has been broken my entire pregnancy too. So that’s a rip off. I’m really bummed about the direction of
  8. [R7] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 1/5 · US Unresponsive devs: Unable to login as a husband, but devs refuse to respond to emails. Even tried creating a new account as a pregnant woman, tells me email in use. Garbage customer service.
  9. [R13] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 1/5 · US Scam: I purchased the premium plan and I can’t see the articles extra information or any premium news
  10. [R10] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 1/5 · US Partner connection won’t work: My partner tried to add me. It will not sync, and will only allow me to create an account as if I am the one who is pregnant
  11. [R22] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 1/5 · US Paid only: This app is not what it used to be. I used to love this AI and recommend it to everyone I knew. My kids are 6 and 7. I am now 6w3d pregnant, and I have apparently read the last article I can without paying. What a disappointment. Now I have to search for a new app to use 😔 I can’t believe you guys would destroy a great app like that. On top of that, it is full of a lot of ads. You’d thi
  12. [R24] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 3/5 · US Still have ads on paid version: I generally enjoy the app. A lot of the articles are redundant. I consistently get ads when I open the app. It’s usually 1 or 2 ads that I have to close before I can get to the app. Pretty annoying. I paid for an ad free experience. I would just stick to the free version, I barely notice the difference.
  13. [R46] Nurture Pregnancy Week by Week 1/5 · US Worse now: This app was much better 5 years ago with my first pregnancy. I haven’t had many complaints at all. But I just hit 12 weeks, and now I can’t read a single article on there since they’re just pushing their paid premium subscription. So, now that I’m about to be out of the first trimester, this app is useless because I’m not paying for it. This app is less about pregnancy now and more abo
  14. [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.
  15. [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.
  16. [R73] 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
  17. [R78] 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.
