The OMama app and website were developed for families in Ontario, Canada, by the Better Outcomes Registry and Network (BORN Ontario), a program of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), with the support of eHealth Ontario. Funding for BORN Ontario is provided by the Government of Ontario.
This app has a lot of great information and feels trustworthy given the links are often to government websites. However, a lot of the links don’t work and some of them link to websites that aren’t formatted to work on a cellphone.
App doesn’t save info

Every day the app forgets all the information I’ve entered to create my profile. I won’t be using it if I need to answer 10 questions each time I access it.

Great Canadian Resource
CS insta-like!
As a pregnant woman and a midwife, it is great to have an app that provides links to resources that are up-to-date, evidence-based, and Canadian. Will definitely be recommending this app to both friends and clients.
Learn from What to Expect

I was quite happy to see what the concept of this app was, but was very disappointed with it's functionality. You would think that a government-sponsored app would have had proper writers working on it. Instead you get article titles like "Cord Blood Banking" and read an article about post pregnancy contraception options. And under an article titled "Early/Latent/False Labour" you simply get the word "null." As a writer and an editor, I find this sort of thing unacceptable. Who the hell is writing these things? Take some notes from the "What to Expect" app, they are doing it right over there.
