Mommy To Be Review

Mommy to Be is an iPhone pregnancy planning and tracking app. Five screens are available: Today, You, Your Baby, Tips, and Notes. "Today" shows the amount of time in the pregnancy accomplished and left to go, a small blurry ultrasound image of the fetal stage, a due date range, a countdown to the due date, and dates of ovulation and last period. This screen can be emailed. "You" contains a text description of physical, hormonal and emotional changes for the week, with some graphics. "Tips", of course, provides tips such as remembering to take a video recorder to the sonogram, and info on when gender can be discerned. "Notes" is essentially a test editor with a few prompts to start (Day of first visible bump on your belly; Day of first baby movement recognition), and can also be emailed.

My complaints about this app include: the pages are poorly laid out and are not optimized for the mobile screen, the text is too small, the content is not very detailed, and the graphics are too small, blurry, and hokey (such as a hand with a banana near text with nutrition information.) This looks like a poorly designed website that was converted into an app without much thought. There are much better pregnancy iPhone apps out there for your money.
