	<abstract>&lt;span style=font-size:10pt&gt;&lt;span style=unicode-bidi:embed&gt;&lt;span new= roman= style=font-family: times=&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt;Aims:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt; Maternal health and pregnancy outcomes are vitally important areas of each country's healthcare system. This study aimed to investigate the acceptability of a mobile app-based intervention program for choosing the mode of delivery among pregnant women.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=font-size:10pt&gt;&lt;span style=unicode-bidi:embed&gt;&lt;span new= roman= style=font-family: times=&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt;Materials &amp; Method&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt;: Thirty pregnant women participated in this study. The Mobile App-Based Program focused on facilitating choosing mode of delivery based on information, motivation, and behavior model among pregnant women in Tehran, Iran. A retrospective post-intervention study was carried out. We used quantitative and qualitative semi-structured interviews to explore the experiences of women participating in the Mobile app-based program and investigate the intervention's acceptability. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=font-size:10pt&gt;&lt;span style=unicode-bidi:embed&gt;&lt;span new= roman= style=font-family: times=&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt;Finding:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt; Quantitative result has shown that 76.6% of the users assessed the application as usable.  In the qualitative section of the study, three main themes were emerged: 1- specific features of the App (images, text, colors, and etc.); 2- advantages (distance learning method, reliability, and credibility, being user-friendly and comfortability, time-saving, and being interactive); and 3- disadvantages (fear of mobile radiation on fetus, poor internet connection, and limited audience) regarding using of the intervention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=font-size:10pt&gt;&lt;span style=unicode-bidi:embed&gt;&lt;span new= roman= style=font-family: times=&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span cambria= style=font-family:&gt; This mobile application eased women's knowledge and behavior and satisfied them, specifically during the new-emerged pandemic. It also helped women to clarify their thoughts regarding their choice on mode of delivery. Participants suggested some shortages using the application that should be noticed. &lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</abstract>
