There are tracker apps for everything, from your habits, to your goals, to your period, so of course there are tons of pregnancy tracker apps that all do similar things. Whether you want to know what changes your body is going through or whether your baby is the size of a grapefruit or a pineapple, the best pregnancy apps have features that serve as day-to-day companions during some of the most meaningful months of your life. “Pregnancy tracker apps are certainly not necessary, but can be a helpful tool for navigating pregnancy,” says ob-gyn Fatima Daoud Yilmaz, MD, a clinical assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology based in New York. However, “there are so many pregnancy apps out there and the app overload is certainly real, says Yilmaz. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with options, especially when so many of these pregnancy apps advertise the same services. So how do you figure out which one is best for you? Dr. Peace Nwegbo-Banks, an ob-gyn at Serenity Women’s Health & Med Spa in Pearland, Texas, says you’ll want to look for features that include a calendar for appointments, patient information on basic embryology, and mood, food, and water intake tracking. Nwegbo-Banks likes the Ovia app (#18 on our list), and says it’s a great app that offers info on what to expect each week and trimester. Daoud Yilmaz says to look for apps made by reputable sources, and recommends the ACOG (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) app (#1 on our list) for the most accurate due date calculator based on clinical guidelines. She also recommends looking for apps that give you trimester-specific information written by professionals, like doctors and midwives, and that link to reputable medical sources online. She warns against apps that claim to monitor fetal heart rate, saying it’s “rarely accurate,” and apps that try to sell you something other than premium features on the app itself, like prenatal vitamins or baby products. And remember: Pregnancy apps are great, but they cannot and should not replace your actual doctor. Use them as a journal, a symptom-tracker, a log of your vitamins and medicines, and a place to connect with other parents-to-be. But you know your body better than anyone else or any app ever could, so if something feels off or you have questions you’d rather have answered by someone who knows your medical history, don’t hesitate to call your doc. “The only medical advice you should take is advice from your doctor—not social forums and certainly not app developers,” says Daoud Yilmaz.

So without further ado, here are our top picks for the best pregnancy apps you can download on your smartphone RN. Remember—these are only supplementary to actual advice and insights from your doctor. 1.ACOGApple Store This app is designed for doctors and members of The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, meaning it’s up-to-date with articles and jam-packed with the most recent and accurate information on pregnancy and birth. These are scientific articles, so they might be hard to understand if you’re not in the medical field, but definitely consult your doctor if you have any doubts or questions about what’s on there.
Available for free on iOS and Android 2. Flo Period & Ovulation TrackerApple Store Flo ranks #2 on the Health & Fitness Charts in the Apple App Store and Healthline rated it the best fertility app in 2020, so you know people love it. Use it to track your pregnancy symptoms, follow your baby’s growth, countdown to your due date, and learn more about newborn care. According to reviewers, you’ll get more out of the paid version of this app (different options ranging from $0.99 to $49.99), but you can still access the basic features on the free version.
Costs vary, available on iOS and Android 3. Expectful: Wellness for MomsApple Store Expectful isn’t your usual pregnancy tracker app because it focuses more on maternal care and mental wellness than tracking symptoms and cycles. Yes, you’ll find some common features like resources and information on topics like nutrition, what to pack in your hospital bag, breastfeeding and lactation, and more. But the heart of the app is meditation, “for every step of your journey to motherhood.” No matter what you’re stressed about, there’s probably a meditation for it on Expectful. The app is also big on community. You’ll find group pre- and post-natal fitness classes, group meditations, group support sessions, and more. The monthly subscription starts at $12.99.

My PregnancyApple Store My Pregnancy features week-by-week fetal measurements and imaging, info on the fetus’ development, changes in your body, a trimester to-do list, a kick counter, and more.

There are features that help visualize the growth of your baby throughout your pregnancy with weekly updates and development stages, count baby kicks, and time contractions. There's also a pregnancy timeline that can show you when you can begin to expect to show (around the 12-week mark) and what tests are needed and when during the duration of your pregnancy. There are also articles and tips by Texas Tech physicians which you can use as a jumping-off point for any questions you might have to bring to your own doctor at your scheduled visits.
Available for free on iOS and Android 8. ProDaddyApp Store Why should expecting moms get all the pregnancy app goodness? While there are a few dad-centric pregnancy apps out there, ProDaddy is one of the highest-rated ones for good reason. While some of the dad apps lean towards masculinizing parenthood with lumberjack imagery (lol), ProDaddy offers articles and tips that focus more on equal parenting responsibility, like encouraging dads-to-be to get in on the baby shower, asking and using paternity leave, and more. The tone is a lil bro-y, but it's cheeky in a cute way that anyone can appreciate ("Baby Yourlastname coming in hot in 29 weeks.") There are quick articles and tips for first-time dads, deeper dives on topics that require more time, and updates on your baby's development along the way. The app promises you'll "build your confidence in your path to becoming the talented and involved dad you want to be" and that you can be a ProDaddy yourself after nine months.
Available for free on iOS 9. 280 DaysApp Store Named after the average amount of gestation, 280 days is a pregnancy diary app that allows you to eventually turn your notes into a book. The free app is meant to sell the service ofc, but you can always sign up, use the journaling service in the app, and just not buy the book at the end. There are features that let you see the development and growth of your baby, track your physical condition and weight gain, and take notes on doctor's appointments and ultrasounds.

Available for free on iOS 12. PreglifeApp Store It’s not pretty, but this 4.9 rating speaks for itself. Users love the lack of ad popups and if you don’t like the social aspect of a lot of the other apps, this one won’t force you to join a community or share stuff either. You’ll get information on what’s happening in your body week by week as well as some calendar features to track your baby’s growth.
Available for free on iOS and Android 13. What to Expect’s Pregnancy & Baby TrackerApp Store This über-popular pregnancy tracking app allows you to track and contextualize your baby’s growth over time using concrete visual benchmarks like fruit. Precise measurements are…fine. But who’s really whipping out a ruler and scale to see how big their baby is at 11 weeks? 0.25 oz.? No idea what that is. The size of a lime? That I can work with.
Get it for free on iOS and Android 14. WebMD PregnancyApple Store Yep, the hypochondriac’s wet dream of a website has its own pregnancy tracker and it’s actually pretty comprehensive. The app features an appointment organizer, a symptom tracker (in case you want a place to log small concerns for your next doctor’s visit), and a contraction and kick counter (which can be useful in monitoring your baby’s movements and health).

And while the option to track your baby’s growth via fruit-shaped visuals is an option, you can also change the growth setting to “Parisian Bakery” if you’ve ever wanted to know how big your baby is on a scale of croissants to baguettes. C’est chic!
