Welcome Baby book reviews are mostly positive: at the time of writing, Trustpilot shows a 4.0 TrustScore from 585 reviews. Parents praise the guided quiz, how easy ordering is and the quality of the finished book.
The most common complaint is about the app plan billed alongside it, not the book itself.
That split is the most useful thing to know before you read a single review. The book and the subscription get rated on the same page, so a one-star review and a five-star review are often talking about completely different things.
This guide reads the reviews the way a careful friend would: what people love, what they flag, and what to do so your own experience lands on the right side of the page.
Where the Reviews Live and What the Scores Say
Reviews are spread across three public places, and each one rates something slightly different.

| Platform | Score at time of writing | Number of reviews | What is mostly being rated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trustpilot | 4.0 out of 5 | 585 | Ordering the book, the finished book, billing |
| Google Play | 5.0 shown | 379 | The companion app |
| Apple App Store (US) | 4.0 out of 5 | 112 ratings | The companion app, plus some billing comments |
Scores move every week, so check the live pages before you decide. The pattern, though, has been steady.
The Myth That a 4-Star Average Means a 4-Star Book
It does not. An average hides the shape of the reviews, and here the shape tells the story.
On Trustpilot, roughly half the reviews are five stars and just over a quarter are one star, with very little in between. That is not what a mediocre product looks like.
A mediocre product collects threes. A split like this usually means two separate experiences are being scored on one scale.
Read the one-star reviews and the pattern is clear: most are about an app subscription that renewed when the reviewer did not expect it, and several of those reviewers say they liked the book. Read the five-star reviews and they are about the book and the ordering experience.
Once you separate the two, the picture is far more useful than the number.
What Parents Praise
The Quiz Does the Hard Thinking
The most frequent five-star theme is how easy the book is to build. One reviewer summed it up as "Guided steps.
Asks what you want to include and exclude." That is the quiz working as intended: you choose the chapters, events and extras, and the book is shaped around them.
Quality That Brings People Back
The strongest signal in any review set is a repeat purchase, and there are several. Marissa wrote that the book was such great quality she ordered one for her second child.
Sierra S. wrote that she was very pleased with her first book, ordered a few months earlier, and was waiting on a second.
Gifts Across Generations
Grandparents and great-grandparents show up often, building a book for a new arrival in the family. Several reviewers describe it simply as a good gift for expecting parents.
Responsive Support
A surprising number of reviews name individual support agents and mention issues fixed quickly, from a timed-out connection during the quiz to getting the app working on an older phone.
What Parents Say After the First Months
Most reviews are written at checkout, which tells you about the ordering flow and little else. The ones written months later are worth more, because they answer the real question: did the book get used?
Those later reviews tend to talk about the habit rather than the object. A parent on Google Play, writing when their daughter was four months old, described the app's reminders as the reason they were not scrambling to remember what happened at each stage.
The repeat orders say the same thing in a different way: nobody buys a second baby book for a first one that sat empty.
There is a bonding thread running through these, too. A book with prompts gives two parents, or a parent and a grandparent, something small to do together on a quiet evening: pick the photo, agree on the line, laugh about the nickname that stuck.
The pages become a shared ritual, not a chore one person carries.
The Complaints, Read Honestly
Every complaint below has a simple step that avoids it. That is worth more than any star rating.
The App Plan Renewed Unexpectedly
This is the big one. The site's Subscription Terms state that paid digital access runs on a recurring subscription that renews automatically until cancelled, and some trials convert to paid plans.

Gift-givers in particular mention paying for app access the recipient never used. *What to do:* read the checkout summary line by line, note the renewal date, and if you do not want app access, cancel before the renewal through the Manage Subscription page on the site or by emailing [email protected]. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, cancel in your store account.
The Format Surprised Them
A few reviewers mention format upgrades offered after the first payment and wished they had known earlier. *What to do:* look at every option at checkout before you pay, and decide on format then.
There Was More in It Than They Wanted
One reviewer expected a pure photo-and-memory book and felt the activities and extra topics crowded it. *What to do:* in the quiz, choose "very few" games to keep the focus on memories, and skip the chapters you do not want. The book follows those choices.
What Reviews Mention Most, at a Glance
| Theme | How often it comes up | What reviewers say | What to do before you order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy, guided ordering | Very often | Clear steps, lots of choices | Nothing, just take your time on the preview |
| Book quality | Often | Good enough to reorder for a second child | Check the format options at checkout |
| Gifting | Often | Popular with grandparents and friends | Mind the app plan if the gift is not for you |
| Support | Often | Quick, named agents, problems fixed | Email [email protected] with your order details |
| App plan renewals | Most one-star reviews | Charges noticed late | Note the renewal date, cancel if not needed |
| Content volume | Occasionally | Too many extras for some | Choose fewer games and skip unwanted chapters |
What Reviews Can't Tell You
Reviews can tell you whether the book arrives looking good. They cannot tell you whether you will fill it in.
That part is on you, and it is smaller than it sounds. The book is a plan, not a result: the prompts and reminders make five-minute entries easy, but the memories only get in if you take those five minutes.
The milestone pages are places to record moments when they happen, not a schedule your baby has to keep; if you ever have a question about development, ask your pediatrician.
How Long Until It Helps
The quiz takes a few minutes and the first entry takes about five. Within a month or two of small entries, the book starts to hold details you would already have lost.
The reviews that matter most come from parents a few months in, and they are the ones describing a habit that stuck. Give it that long before you judge it.
Why Parents Choose Welcome Baby
Welcome Baby is a customized baby memory book built from your quiz answers, with your family's names on the cover, a dedication page, journaling prompts, photo space and milestone pages for every first. You choose what goes in and what stays out, from the pregnancy chapter to how many play ideas it includes.

Final Thoughts
The reviews say two things clearly: parents like the book enough to order it again, and the app plan needs a careful look at checkout. Both are easy to act on.
Build the book around the moments you care about, check every line before you pay, and give it five minutes a week. That is how a Welcome Baby book ends up full rather than on a shelf.
FAQ
Yes, it is a real company with hundreds of public reviews and a support team that replies to them. Most praise is for the book and ordering, and most complaints are about the app plan billed alongside it.
Paid app access runs on a recurring plan that renews automatically until cancelled, as the site's Subscription Terms explain. Check your checkout summary and cancel before renewal if you do not want app access.
Several reviewers liked it enough to order a second book for another child. Check the format options at checkout so you get the finish you want.
Gifting is one of the most common five-star themes, especially from grandparents. If you are buying for someone else, decide at checkout whether they will use the app plan.
