Pregnancy + | Tracker App

Review by eFreeware

The most distinctive thing about Pregnancy + is the 3D baby model: instead of a flat illustration or a size comparison alone, the app shows an interactive model of the developing baby that you can rotate and zoom, with movement you can tap on and guided walk-throughs for each week. That is the feature the developer leads with, and it shapes what the rest of the app is trying to do. Rather than a clinical log, it is built to make the pregnancy feel visible and shared.

It is a free download from Philips Electronics UK Limited, with ads and in-app purchases available. The install numbers are large: over 50 million on Google Play, with a 4.8 average across more than 3.6 million ratings. Those figures do not tell you whether the app suits your situation, but they do suggest a lot of expecting parents have found it usable.

This is for people who want one app to cover the whole arc of a pregnancy, from the early weeks through labor and the hospital bag. It is also built with partners and relatives in mind, since the developer describes inviting them to follow the baby's development along with you. If you mainly want a bare-bones week counter, there is far more here than that.

Following the baby week by week

The core loop is informational. Each week brings guides explaining what to expect, plus daily articles tied to your stage of pregnancy, a pregnancy timeline marking milestones, and 2D and 3D scans organized by week that you can browse. The developer says the content is written in-house with input from medical experts, lactation consultants, midwives and parents, which is the kind of claim worth weighing rather than taking at face value.

The 3D models are where the app puts its strongest effort. You can choose from multiple ethnicities, rotate and zoom to see detail, watch guided weekly walk-throughs and tap to see movements. A size guide translates the baby's scale into fruits, animals and candy, which is a gentler way to convey growth than measurements alone. For anyone who finds raw statistics hard to picture, this combination is likely the most engaging part of the app.

Beyond the baby's development, the guides cover subjects such as breastfeeding, exercise, food and twins, and there are daily blog posts with tips and advice. The volume is substantial, and the developer's framing is that it helps people who feel overwhelmed by scattered advice. The trade-off of a daily feed is that it asks for regular attention; you get more out of it by dipping in when a topic is relevant to you than by trying to read everything.

The tracking tools you will actually open often

Several tools are designed for repeated use. A due date calculator works out the expected arrival, a kick counter records the baby's movements and activity, and a weight log keeps an eye on changes over the months. The contraction timer measures contractions during labor, which is the one tool here that shifts from background reading to something you may open under pressure.

Each of these is a simple record-keeping job, and the value comes from having them in the same place as the guides and calendar rather than spread across separate apps. The kick counter in particular pairs naturally with the daily article habit: both depend on you checking in regularly, and the app is arranged around that rhythm.

I would treat these as personal records rather than clinical instruments. The developer is explicit that the app is not intended for medical use and is no substitute for a trained doctor, so the numbers you log are for your own reference and to bring to appointments. That framing is sensible, and it is worth remembering when a reading worries you.

Planning, lists and the photo diary

The organizational side is broader than I expected for a tracker. A pregnancy calendar lets you plan and document prenatal appointments, a hospital bag section helps you prepare for the visit with separate lists for mother, birth partner and baby, and a birth plan can be customized, organized and exported. There are also to-do and baby shopping lists for working out what needs doing and buying.

The birth plan export stands out because it produces something you can hand over rather than a note kept to yourself. The hospital bag lists are similarly concrete, splitting the packing by person so a partner is not guessing what to bring. For first pregnancies especially, where the logistics are unfamiliar, this kind of scaffolding removes a lot of low-level worry.

My Bump is the softer feature: a photo diary where you upload pictures to build a visual record of the pregnancy. Alongside it, the app includes a searchable catalog of thousands of baby names, and you can mark favorites and share them. Between the photo diary and the name list, there is a personal side to the app that sits apart from the medical and planning material.

Bringing family into it

The app is explicitly designed to be shared. The developer describes personalizing it so a partner, future grandparents or a close friend can join and follow the baby's development from bump to birth, and the way to do that is to invite them to download the app themselves. It is a light-touch approach: rather than sending updates manually, you give people a way to watch the same timeline you are watching.

That suits couples and families who want a common reference point, particularly where relatives live at a distance and would otherwise rely on phone calls for progress. It also means the experience is less solitary than a private log, which some people will appreciate and others will prefer to keep to themselves.

The practical requirement is simply that the people you invite are willing to install the app. There is nothing complicated about the idea, and it is one of the clearer reasons to choose this tracker over a simpler one that only serves the expecting parent.

What you need before you start

Getting going is a matter of downloading the app and working through your pregnancy details so the weekly content lines up with your stage. From there the due date calculator, timeline and week-by-week guides all key off the same information, which is why it is worth setting up properly at the start rather than skipping past it.

There is no charge to download, and the app offers in-app purchases.

The app has been on Google Play since January 2013 and was last updated in August 2026, with recent changes mentioning smoother performance and bug fixes.

Expecting parents who want everything in one place

This fits people who want a single app for information, tracking and planning rather than assembling that from several sources. The combination of weekly guides, daily articles, the 3D models, the kick counter, contraction timer, weight log, calendar, hospital bag lists and birth plan is unusually complete, and the sharing features extend it to a partner or relatives.

It is likely to appeal most to a first pregnancy, where the week-by-week structure and the packing and planning lists answer questions you have not thought to ask yet. Someone on a later pregnancy may find the volume of daily content more than they need, though the tools themselves remain useful.

The app is also a good match for anyone who responds to visuals. The 3D models, the fruit-and-animal size guide and the My Bump photo diary all lean that way, and they are the parts that distinguish it from a plain tracker. If your preference runs to text and numbers, the same features still work, just with less of a pull.

What it is not is a medical tool: it provides general information and is not a substitute for personalized advice from a doctor or midwife. Used within that boundary, it is a well-stocked companion for the months ahead.

A well-stocked companion for the next nine months

Pregnancy + earns a recommendation for expecting parents who want one app to carry them from the first weeks to the hospital bag. The 3D models, week-by-week guides and the set of tracking and planning tools cover the ground thoroughly, and the option to bring a partner or relatives along is a genuine advantage over a private log. The scale of its audience and a 4.8 average are consistent with a product that has been refined over years.

The caveats are straightforward. It is free with in-app purchases, so the free experience is what you should judge it on. The daily article feed rewards regular check-ins, and the app is clear that it is general information rather than medical guidance.

If you are expecting and want the information, the tracking and the planning in one place, this is a sensible place to start. If you only need a due date and a week counter, the breadth here will be more than you are looking for.
