Frequently Asked Questions
It all sounds great, but what does this app actually do?
Big Daddy is a free pregnancy app for dads-to-be. Track how your baby is developing and find out what your partner is going through. Upgrade in the app to get the whole shebang: over 40 original articles, a contraction timer, handy baby checklists, a name dictionary and Bumpies, so you can be completely daddy-ready for the big day.
What makes Big Daddy different to all the other pregnancy apps out there?
Big Daddy is designed specifically for dads. Our articles cover everything from ultrasound scans and signs of labour to ways to bond with the bump and postnatal depression in mothers and fathers. And our memorable size comparisons go beyond the fruit bowl. You can also choose plant-based or alcohol-free options in settings.
How does the app know how big my baby is?
Enter your baby's due date or the date of your partner's last period, and the app calculates how far along the pregnancy is. Sizes and weights are typical estimates: every baby grows at their own pace.
How much does it cost?
The nuts and bolts of the app are completely free, for the full 40 weeks. An optional premium upgrade unlocks the full collection of tools and information. Check the app or App Store for the current purchase options and prices in your country.
How often are there updates to the app?
We're continuing to develop Big Daddy with useful tools, articles and fun facts to keep you informed while your partner grows a tiny human. See the App Store for the latest release notes.
I’m in! How do I become a Big Daddy?
You can download Big Daddy on the App Store. It is available on iOS. For questions about other platforms, get in touch at info@thebigdaddyapp.com.
Is Big Daddy a substitute for medical advice?
No. The app provides general educational information. It does not diagnose conditions or replace advice from your doctor, midwife or other qualified healthcare professional.
