The iPhone Mom

Pregnancy App wants to help you track the development of your baby throughout your pregnancy. Begin by entering in the first day of your last period and your normal menstrual cycle length. This will allow the app to calculate your due date. Now the app will display your due date, your progress (how many weeks along you are), the week of pregnancy that you’re in, the number of days until your due date and some basic information about your developing baby. If you tap on your due date you’ll also see two additional dates. These are the dates two weeks before and two weeks after your due date when your baby could be born. Probably not a good idea to focus on the thought of two weeks after. If you turn your iPhone on it’s side, into landscape mode, additional information is displayed and you’ll be able to read more details about what’s going on with your baby. While your phone is on it’s side you can tap on the picture of the fetus and add in a picture of your own. You can also enter in your own notes about your pregnancy. Whether you are in regular or landscape mode you can move forward in the weeks so you can read ahead if you like.

The Pregnancy App is cleanly designed and full of good, basic information. I did sometimes have trouble getting it to switch into landscape mode but this could be my phone’s fault. (It’s been dropped a few times.) My only issue with the app is that the price seems a bit high.
