About this app

Expecting.app – your no-nonsense, friendly guide through pregnancy and beyond
Getting information that you can trust about pregnancy and parenting is hard – it’s like everyone is trying to sell you a product or service. Expecting.app is different – written by independent parents and experts, it brings together everything you need to know about pregnancy, birth and beyond in an easy to understand, friendly format that encourages you to choose what’s best for you and your family.
We’ve been there, and we’re here for you.

Written by independent experts

The information in the app is based on the highest level of evidence and best practice and tips and tricks provided by parents who have been there, with no commercial interests involved.

Dads-to-be also need support and information – from the 9th week of pregnancy Expecting.app offers dads tools and articles just for them, written by other dads.

Ratings and reviews

Overall good, but every day it gives me notifications that I didn't track any baby movements that day -- however, this movement tracking option is blocked until week 37. Not sure why you wouldn't unblock it sooner? Or at least stop the notifications then, and only start then when the option is and available. If this gets fixed, and if I like the contraction and baby movements counter once it's unblocked, I'll increase my rating. Hard to tell the usefulness of a feature if it's blocked

Signs you out then will not recognize user or password credentials. Good app before the last few months when hubby and I (both using different phones - so it's not a phone issue) both started experiencing this problem. We liked the app sharing & articles seemed decent. I'm not making 50 new accounts so I can continue to access this. An internet search takes less time & doesn't use phone memory when we want to check in on the growth of our grandbaby-to-be. We are uninstalling.

When I set Czech language then the rubric "Details and comparison" is in Croatia language. If I want to read it then I have to always switch to English in settings. It is very awkward.
