I have had this app since the beginning of my pregnancy, it was recommended by a friend who's sister had used it during her pregnancy.
I do have other pregnancy apps such as Pregnancy+ and Pregnancy, but this is my go too app.
I love the weekly pregnancy videos that let you know what is going on with baby that week and the symptoms that you can be experiencing.
I also find the common symptoms, very reassuring to browse through as it puts your mind at rest that what is going on in your body is normal and others are experiencing it.
The only downside I would say is that the weekly baby as big as are a little off sometimes and i've never heard of some of the fruit and veg. But you can always change that if you would prefer.
I would highly recommend this app to any expectant new mum. - Strengths:

This has been a great app fill of bite size amounts of information about how your baby is developing week by week. It’s great to read with my husband in the morning of each new week and has made us feel more connected to our growing boy. The product recommendations and tip have also been useful. - Strengths:

I love this app. Not only I get weekly updates (the baby size comparison is such a funny feature) and information about symptoms, there’s also a forum for mums. I have used the community part so much and it’s great to connect with people going through the same things as I am. Definitely recommend this app, specially at the beginning when things can be overwhelming and you haven’t told your friends and family yet. - Strengths:

This App is amazing. I started using the app when I first became pregnant and it gave me weekly updates of what is happening during my pregnancy.
I found jointing the discussion groups very helpful as I could choose certain groups to join which related to me and the journey I am on.
Other mums leaving comments etc has actually given me many tips with my newborn and it is great to see how everyone else is getting on who’s in the same boat as you.
The app is American based so most of the people on there are American and relates to American ways of doing things (appointments etc) but there is a UK GROUP Which is very very good!

This is probably the best pregnancy app I have used among others I have tried. When I found out I was pregnant 5 months ago, I wanted to use an app that will help me track the pregnancy, allow me to read articles related to the pregnancy and it has to be user-friendly and free. This fits all the boxes after about a few weeks of finding and trying different pregnancy apps.
It has a modern and beautiful interface. When you go into the app (after having signed up, added your pregnancy details and logged in), you are welcomed with concise information of your current pregnancy stage with great visualisation i.e how your baby is growing, your body changes, baby science and baby size comparison.
Baby size comparison is the highlight for my husband and I. With majority of the other pregnancy apps, the comparison is pretty standard such as comparing the size to a fruit but this app has taken a step further! It has pop culture comparison which my husband loves as he can relate and picture the size on top of the fruit comparison standard. For instance, at 13th week the baby was as big as a Pokemon card and that's all he could talk about for the week. This allowed my husband to be more engaged in the pregnancy as we both count down to the following week and get really excited to find out how much the baby has grown!
Articles in daily reads section are great, although not always chronological they are useful and I have always come back with a bit more knowledge! It also has a breakdown of common symptoms for that current pregnancy stage which is great. So I know whatever symptoms I might possibly be having right now is considered common. I tend to research a lot of things so I always double check any symptoms with NHS website as they are our medical provider in the UK and it is always highly recommended.
I don't tend to check the recommended products section as I don't find them useful and the products are mainly from the US. But the Tools tab is great as they have different articles and information about products that may be useful for you as a new mum-to-be.
Other cool thing about the app is Upcoming Test and Screenings section which list out tests and screenings you might be offered. NHS has a different system altogether so you may not do all the tests listed out. So again, as it's very US orientated I feel this information is useful for the US audience but still great to read more information about them.
I have never been involved in the forum section but I do occasionally read discussions posted in the group I joined that I can relate to.
It's a great app and I have found it very useful! It is US orientated so I'd recommend to always double check with NHS website for any medical stuff if you are based in the UK. There are in-app adverts which is understandable as it's a free app but they are not intrusive and do not affect the user experience. - Strengths:

Great app! Lots of great information updated on a daily basis.
Downside is there's a community side to the app which would be great if the newest questions / conversations were placed at the top, as loads of conversations from 2018 etc come up.
It is a USA app so some information is only relevant to the states but still a great app and would recommend to anyone. - Strengths:

I got the app as i had heard of the movie "What to Expect...". They have recently updated the interface which makes seeing your baby's weekly change much easier and more engaging. The forums provide hours of entertainment and some useful information. They have brief and easy to digest articles which update depending on how far through your pregnancy you are. My main issue with the app is that it is very 'American' and a lot of the products they suggest are from the US. - Strengths:

This is a good app, however compared to the others out there like Bounty and Emma's diary i found it was very similar but lacking in terms of the interface and user friendliness.
I had downloaded it for about a month and found that i was preferring other apps to this so deleted it. -

When I found out I was pregnant with my son I straight away look to apps on my phone that would record my Pregnancy and out of all the apps I have found this one it’s got to be there my absolute favourite one ever each week they give you regular updates on how your baby is growing and it also shows you a video of what is going on inside your body this is great information if you are first-time mum or just going through your pregnancy but overall it is absolutely amazing I would recommend anyone who is pregnant to download this app . - Strengths:

This app is very useful and informative, detailing several aspects of pregnancy. The forum is also useful, providing support from other pregnant women when needed. However, emails detailing offers are American focused, so not entirely relevant or useful. Also, some advice is based on the American healthcare system so again isn’t relevant to those in other countries. - Strengths:

I have been using this app for 8months now, my entire pregnancy. Even though I am part joined to a few mumas forums I have learnt to ignore What to Expects forum as it is rubbish, gives out paranoid and lost feelings, along with the nasty 'trolls', its not professionally seen over. So I would not trust it.
I love the weekly videos! That is why I have kept using the app.
Most of the other information on the app is American based, if your in the UK you are much better off using one of the UK apps for info as it may lead to confusion. - Strengths:

I really love this app.
With my first I had a book but this gives me so much more.
Every week myself and my husband count down the mins until the new weekly video comes on. We love watching it together and it always feels accurate to how I am feeling at that point in the pregnancy. I also love the fact that I could share the weekly updates with my family. This has made them feel a real part of the journey with us. - Strengths:

I found this really helpful as well as a good way to feel connected and informed away from midwife visits. Tips were always helpful and the videos are short and to the point, meaning it was easy to keep up to date and track of everything going on. The comparison of baby to fruit is adorable also. I did find sometimes things didn’t quite work with how my pregnancy/hospital service happened, but this is due to me living in the U.K. and not the USA. - Strengths:

I like aspects of this app but it's not my favourite. It gives detailed and informative information about baby's development which I like. There are videos about baby's development and other issues but the American woman is a little annoying! I like that the app links into an online community which is overall American but I did find a good UK group. The articles are interesting but I prefer articles to be personalised to where I am in my pregnancy so it's more current. Also the articles don't stay in chronological order so it's hard to find something you want to go back to. Finally the adverts annoy me and some of the content is aimed at getting you to buy products and they are American anyway so not useful. - Strengths:

I enjoyed using this app through out my pregnancy and learning about he development of my little one. As a first time mum I had lots of questions which I felt this app helped with.

I love this app. It’s really easy to use with lots of information on it. I used it a lot in early stage of pregnancy and found it helped to reassure me about my worries. The only downfall is I’m from the UK and some of the answers or product recommendations are for the USA which doesn’t apply to me! - Strengths:

We used this app all though pregnancy number 1 (we didn't get time second time round chasing after a toddler) but I still remember how much we loved it yes it's American but if you don't mind the accent you will also love this app. The videos ate brilliant and let you know what's going on with baby! I cried each time dam hormones. I recommend this especially for first time mum's and dad's will fill your heart with love and make you even more excited to meet your new additions. - Strengths:
