Pregnancy App & Baby Tracker is a health and parenting app designed to help you track your pregnancy and baby's development. I found it on Google Play and the App Store a few years back when I first got pregnant. It's totally free to download, and you don't need to register to use it, but you can sign up for extra stuff. I remember seeing that it has over 10 million installs on Google Play alone. The app does have some in app purchases for premium features, but the basic version works great for most users. There are also some ads, but they are not too annoying.

When I use the app, I just open it and check my baby's size for the week. It shows a fruit or vegetable comparison, which is really cute. I also use the daily articles to learn about what to expect. A simple tip I have is to set the app to send you notifications for weekly updates. That way, you don't forget to check in. The tracker also lets you log symptoms, kicks, and even your weight. I found it helpful to log my meals too, because the app gives tips on nutrition. It feels like a little guide in my pocket.

I have tried a few other pregnancy apps like What to Expect and Ovia. But I always come back to Pregnancy App & Baby Tracker because it feels more straightforward. The other apps have too many buttons and options that confuse me. This one keeps things simple. I also like that the community section is active and supportive. You can ask questions and get answers from other moms. The app updates often, so bugs get fixed fast. For a free app on Google Play, it offers a lot. I would say if you want something easy and reliable, this is a good choice. It's not perfect, but it does the job well for daily use.

• 🙌 Daily pregnancy tracker that shows baby size and week by week changes. It updates automatically, so you always know where you are.
• 🙌 Kick counter and contraction timer. These are great for monitoring baby's activity. You can log kicks easily with one tap.
• 🙌 Community forums where you can chat with other parents. Compared to What to Expect, this community feels more friendly and less spammy.
• 🙌 Personalized articles and tips based on your due date. The app gives you info without needing to search. Ovia does this too, but BabyCenter's articles are easier to read.

• ❤️ The app's simplicity is its biggest strength. You don't need to learn anything to start using it. Other apps like Glow require too many steps.
• ❤️ It is free and has no major paywalls. You can access most features without paying. Some apps lock basic tools behind a subscription.
• ❤️ The community is active and moderated well. I rarely see spam or rude comments. In other pregnancy apps, the forums can be messy or slow.

• ⚠️ The app can be slow sometimes, especially when loading the community page. Other apps load faster on similar phones.
• ⚠️ The ads pop up too often when you are reading articles. It can break the flow. What to Expect has fewer ads in my experience.
