The best!!

I was so excited to use this app for my postpartum recovery that I downloaded it while still pregnant! I am now 9 weeks postpartum and the information Dr. Pinkey Patel provides, along with her personal touch and wit makes you feel informed and not alone in this journey of motherhood. Breastfeeding is hard. Pumping is hard. Doing it all at the same time is hard. Not to mention your downstairs area being all out of whack! Pinkey has found a way to bring it all together and keep us wanting more. She has only just begun her journey with The SnapBack, so not only is she communicative and prompt with her customer service messages, but also constantly upgrading....she strives to make sure her customers not only have what they need, but what they want to help them with their recovery! I LOVE the exercises, her info, and look forward to learning more as I evolve in my recovery. Download this, you won’t regret it!!

A lot of room for improvement

I was super excited about this app (particularly because looking up videos on Google/YouTube can be time consuming and I often question the reliability/safety of some of the postpartum workout plans online..) but this app leaves a lot to be desired. For someone who is pretty fit and worked out regularly up until the day of delivery, I wish the workouts were customizable so I could access all of the videos and choose which day’s exercise my body was ready for or do more than one exercise. I’ve been doing 10-20min of deep breathing daily since pp day 4, so the fact that today’s workout was just 4 minutes of more deep breathing was disappointing. I wanted to access the videos for week 3, but the app only lets you view the recommended exercise for that day. I also tried updating my preferences from 4 to 7 days of exercises, but unfortunately the app does not refresh with a workout plan once you’ve already entered your preference. Overall it’s a great concept but could be so much better. Until the kinks are worked out, if you were fairly fit before delivery, I would recommend using Robin’s postpartum strength classes on the Peloton app in addition to daily deep breathing sessions and short walks as tolerated.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your postpartum journey! We are definitely getting started and are excited to take this first version & make it even more valuable to mothers. We love being able to offer different experiences depending on the type of delivery (1st-4th degree tears, episiotomy or C-Section) and look forward to adding more options to support our new moms in a better capacity.

Logs inaccessible

Update:logs are accessible. Unfortunately it won’t save the breastfeeding time which is inconvenient. I also noticed the exercises stay on week one day seven. It won’t let me progress to week two and I don’t believe that’s a subscription service. Good app but still has a few bugs.

This would be a great app. It’s is supposed to track all the necessary details however, the logs don’t work. I downloaded this app a week ago and it was working fine. I updated the app and now, when I open up the logs to track when the last feeding was and how long, or how much I pumped from each breast or the number of diapers, the log screen goes blank and the app freezes. I tried re-downloading the app and still there is a bug or glitch in the log section. So now the app is just helpful for the workouts, and journal. It’s a shame because the most important information to keep track of is just gone and it was such a good idea in theory. I submitted feedback to let them know about the error/glitch but who knows if it’ll get fixed.
