Tips for Pregnant: Hello Belly

I haven’t selected a gender and all the medications say “he” and it’s really off putting. No reason they can’t be recorded as “they” so everyone can enjoy them and it stays neutral. Edit: in response to your reply, I wasn’t suggesting using “it”. I said “they”. Not everyone wishes to divide it into boys and girls.

Don’t bother with this app unless you like to feel guilty for being pregnant and having emotions. Completely irrelevant information half the time and sounds like someone who has never been pregnant created this.

Pregnancy is a sensitive time for a mother and it’s not supportive to have an app that says things like ‘don’t get upset because that harms your baby’ or ‘when you find out if you’re having a girl or boy don’t cry out and tell others not to as well because it will hurt your babies ears’. That’s all nonsense and has no basis in science. It’s just laying on guilt for no reason. I suggest finding a joyful app that celebrates pregnancy instead of putting mothers down like this one does. This shouldn’t be surprising seeing as how the app was founded by MEN! 😡

Paid for the whole year subscription and honestly it was a waste of a lot of money. Absolutely useless app. Every time I open it it’s set to 42 weeks... I’m currently 38 weeks. It’s literally useless.

Hello, I paid but I don't using the application. I send a email. I living same problems every weeks. Can you fixed in the app please?

Nice app, but not good when it comes to subscriptions. I was paying a weekly amount to access certain sections of the app, at first I was able to access them once I subscribed, but now I haven’t been able to access them for over a week, so I’ve now cancelled my subscription. Bit of a ripoff to take someone’s money but not allow access to the subscription only sections

The images are cool, great design. Baby 3D is awful compared to what is out there in other apps Advice...poor. Could be updated with more recent advice, language is so difficult to read! And advice is overly repetitive. I don’t get this experience with the free apps and I much prefer them. I paid for 1 year subscription for this tool and wish I hadn’t.

The pictures on this are totally cute, but overall the app could use a proofread. The sentences at times don’t quite make sense, for example: “she still needs to increase the weight about 2 times, so don’t forget to eat a varied and full.” The “pregnancy experience” described doesn’t really leave room for different experiences that women have - it seems a bit one-size-fits-all. Not everyone experiences dizziness or swollen feet, but the app seems to imply we all do. Also, it’s not the end of the world to eat a bit of chocolate once in a while - but the app forbids it! I like that the app doesn’t just default to the male pronoun when referring to baby, but using “she” the whole way through made me, as a mother of a baby boy, feel a bit isolated. Maybe mixing up the pronouns would be a more balanced approach. There were a few posts in here that were also a little disheartening during Covid (eg advice to take babymoons, go out to dinner, and get pampered). I guess the pandemic took us all by surprise though. I did like the way the app sought to equip partners to take care of their pregnant loved one, and a lot of the advice really was helpful. It’s good the way it delivers in bite-sized pieces because all the information can be a bit overwhelming otherwise! Overall, a cute design and fun short reads each week, but there’s a bit of work still to do.

I agree with last review. You should be honest with pricing before app is downloaded.

This app looks the goods but it has a lot of room for improvement. For example in the eat section, I was envisaging an extensive list of foods. This aspect is very beginner level and not in depth at all. Lots of room for expansion and really delving in to the topics, instead of just skimming the surface. This app has the potential and for such a huge cost I expect more. I hope they improve it during my pregnancy so I can get more out of it.
