GentleBirth

I purchased and was never able to log in. The app always had trouble accessing the server.

I registered, made an account, and for some reason, the verification e-mail never reached me. I definitely looked in my spam/ junk folder, too. Despite this, I somehow received an e-mail from GentleBirth team saying they activated a 7-day trial for me. I tried again to login, and after three tries to send the verification e-mail, you can't re-send anymore. A message pops up saying to message GentleBirth admin. Which I did, two whole weeks ago, and have yet to receive a response. :( Finally uninstalling.

It's quite expensive to use if you want more than the 5 minutes samples but it worked wonders for me in my pregnancy and helped me remain calm during labor. I will continue using it for parenting.

This app won't let me go past the initial setup screens because it says it's having trouble contacting the server every time.

I use the Sleep Sanctuary hypnosis, mindfulness exercises and the affirmations and I find then very helpful. I plan to start using the short mindfulness exercises with my kids soon as well. I love how comprehensive this app is and I recommend it to all of my childbirth education students and doula clients now!

App needs a lot of development. Not worth the money at all. Should be a programme to follow but instead most tracks are just lumped in together. Can't access the website either with my log in.

Yearly subscription is close to $100, no problem paying for an app, do have a problem paying $100 for an app I'll use for 9 months especially when it advertised itself as being free.

Love this app. Tons of resources. Have tried a few other hypnobirthing books/recordings and personally favour this one. For me worth every penny

The best ever brain training App. I couldn't imagine pregnancy or labour without it. So positive and uplifting with a great support team

This fantastic positive birth program can now be used on my Huawei phone. Very happy mum2b :)

I could never submit my details to complete the registration process.

This app requested to access everything on my phone and also wanted my email to verify which did not work.

Just deleted the app due to request for "permission" to access literally everything on my phone - not a permission if the app won't function without this. Disappointing

I was using this to help me get to sleep during my pregnancy (got a free 3 months as part of my birth preparation class), but at some point the app was updated to require totally unnecessary permissions like access to my camera and contacts list. The app won't even start without them enabled! I don't trust this at all.

Advertised as free, but you only get 5 minute samples unless you pay for a monthly or yearly subscription! Agree with previous reviewer on weird permissions as well.

I can't unsubscribe

This really helped me! I really wanted to give birth without an epidural and this app really helped to prepare my mind, body, and spirit. My daughter was delivered POS AND FACE FIRST, which is a really difficult delivery. They told me had I gotten the epidural it would have put her at more risk as it could have taken longer. I was able to give birth to her promptly and safely . This app gave me the tools to achieve my goal.

This app and the whole program changed everything for me when it came to thinking about my delivery. It gave me all the tools to be as mentally prepared as possible and be confident in labour. I had the perfect birth thanks to this app and the support from the online community.

App won't send confirmation email so I can't open it. Bummed. I've had the confirmation email resent like 3 times and ...nothing.

No where was i shown that id either have to pay 100 bucks a year or 13 bucks a month. You only get 5 minutes of each session otherwise.

I cannot open the guide book and favorite isn't working. Please do something!

Won't connect

I couldn't even make it through the free first five minutes. The voice is not soothing and sounds somewhat robotic with awkward pauses. Uninstslled immediately.

It says it's free but when you try to use it, it lets you listen for 5 minutes then abruptly cuts off. It then prompts you to pay either $13/month or $95/year!! Seriously?! For an app?? You've got to be dry shaving my butt with a dull razor!! I'd rather be jabbed in the eye with a sharp stick.

I originally purchased the mp3 tracks during my first pregnancy for around €20. Lost the tracks and came back to redownload only to find the tracks have been replaced by a ridiculously expensive subscription app. Get real gentlebirth. Plenty of places to buy hypnobirthing mp3 tracks cheaper. You should be ashamed taking advantage of pregnant women. It's not as if you're selling a unique product.

Love this App. If your in doubt like i wad sign up you wont be disappointed. I never spend money on Apps but this is priceless. Worth every penny. I downloaded it month ago and i feel so much more relaxed and in control. I found the guidebook brilliant and so easy to understand. The team are also so helpful ive had few technical issues with my phone. Im not the most tech savvy person and the help i have received is super. I cant thank the App , the people involved for creating this enough. The fact that it Irish based even better. I could keep writing but its 5 stars & more

I've always been very interested in mindfulness. Unfortunately due to financial circumstances not able to go to workshops. However this app with its monthly subscription option. Has proven to be incredibly helpful and alows me to access everything at my fingertips.

Accessing all the wonderful information Gentlebirth has to offer is so easy through this new app. Only wish we would have found Gentlebirth earlier instead of the last trimester. My just wife just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

It's a monthly subscription of $20. Save your money and download some tracks elsewhere. Waste of time to sign up.

Great app to have for a positive birth mindset all packed in an app that you can use anywhere. Very handy and decent priced.

Well done, i love it!

An excellent app from preconception, through birth and parenthood. So relaxing, keeps you calm and focused daily. Highly recommended.

Great app, really easy to use. Love it

As someone who was petrified of giving birth, I can't praise GentleBirth enough for giving me the confidence to create the birth I wanted and showing me how to navigate when the unexpected arises. GentleBirth is a must-have tool for every expectant Mom. Happy birthing :)

Loving the mindfulness and positive body daily affirmations, easy to navigate and responsive.

Love the pregnancy tracks and thoroughly enjoying the parenting & mindfulness tracks. Very easy to use & navigate!

Looking forward to my gentle birth of my baby. I love the tips and daily meditations on this app and the stories make things all the more exciting.

So so impressed with the Gentlebirth App. Very user friendly and easy to navigate. Would absolutely recommend it. Great work!

UX is Awsome

You can't listen to more then 5 minutes of the tracks unless you want to pay £9.99 a month or £75 a year! Ridiculous, should be clearer straight away that you need to subscribe in order to use it. It's a shame because the app actually looked good!
