This is an amazing app! I was notified when to pack my hospital bags and within hours when to go to the hospital. I loved the ability to delete a contraction time after accidentally pressing the button. Thankfully, I was able to take naps between contractions and even with forgetting to press the stop contraction button it was able to still give me accurate readings. Unfortunately, I did not go to the hospital on the first alert, however, after many alerts to go to the hospital, I finally made my way to the hospital the next day. At 10 that morning, I went to get my cervix checked finding that I had a very high pain tolerance and was told that I was 7cm dilated. With this app, I was able to show the nurse when my contractions first started the following evening and all my contraction times I had up until I arrival. I was admitted into the labor room, went natural with no medication and had my daughter two hours later. Thank you for making an accurate and reliable app.💜
With my first two pregnancies I was induced. So I was already hooked up to IV’s before my contractions kicked in. With my latest pregnancy I knew I wanted to bring on labor myself, but I was not aware of how to count my contractions. This app took the guess work out of it for me. On the day I went into the hospital, I was walking around target and curb walking in the plaza(to naturally induce labor) I tracked my contractions and it told me when I needed to start getting my things together (they were already in the car) and when to go to the hospital. I waited maybe another 45 minutes to be sure the alert was legit and continued counting. On the second go to the hospital alert I was On my way! Got to the hospital and delivered 9 hours later! Thankful for this technology. **SN. Since this app will mostly be downloaded on a phone, try to not go to another app or doing anything to distract you after you pressed contraction started. I forgot to press stop contraction a FEW times
I crossed my due date and 3 days later I started getting my labor pain. But I was not sure if it’s a true labor and didn’t want to end up in Emergency Room and being sent back home for false labor. So I kept tracking the timing of contraction but it was difficult to analyse. And during that time, I found this app in App Store, since it had high ratings and good reviews, I wanted to give a try. I started recording my contraction timings for 2 hours continuously. Initially it was prompting me to get ready for the hospital. And at a point of time, it prompted me to go to hospital multiple times. We trusted this app and rushed to the hospital, and voila! That was a true labor and I was 6cm dilated already :) Can’t thank this app enough when it was a critical time and when we were confused to make a decision! I highly recommend to use this app!
This app was so very useful to me. My brother found it for me and I paid the $2.99 to include the extra features. I had been having a lot of contractions for several months, so I was like how in the world am I supposed to know when I am actually IN labor?? Well I had been using this to record my contractions, and the night I was actually starting real labor, I was not sure at all, I just kept recording on this app. Then, about 1am, the app alerts me to call my doctor and get ready to go to the hospital. I paged her and she called me back immediately. I read her the results from the app and she said yes it was time to come in. We grabbed the older kids and made some phone calls and by 2:30am I was admitted into the hospital and it was confirmed I was in active labor. My son was born by 8am. Best 3 dollars I ever spent, seriously! Thank you to the one who created the app.
Being a first time mom I didn’t know what contractions were suppose to feel like and so I was cramping one night . I was 37 weeks , was already 3 cm dilated but was told I’d be induced in a week. I didn’t know how to track my contractions or what that meant so when I was cramping I downloaded the app real fast and started to time them . After 4 recorded times the app said “ GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW” I still didn’t believe it so I called my doctor. My doctor said “ if you feel like they are bad then go “ we lived an hour away from our hospital so I told my husband I’d rather go now while it’s cramp your instead of unbearable. I was fully convinced it was Braxton hicks and I’d be sent home. Got there , they checked me , I was dilated to a 5 !!!! They said they were glad we got there when we did ! Super thankful for this app

I paid for the full version of this app and couldn’t be happier. I was having Braxton Hicks my entire 9th month so it was important to have a tracker. On the day I went into labor I was tracking my contractions all day and that was the only reason I could see how patterned they were. When they got to every 5 minutes, I got a warning saying I should get ready to go to the hospital, so we did. I kept tracking. By the time we were ready I got another notification that it was time to go to the hospital. I still called the hospital to make sure, and because I didn’t “sound like I was in labor” they hinted at me staying home longer but I went anyway. By the time I got there I was already 6cm dilated! It was absolutely perfect timing thanks to this app 🙏🏾
I didn’t want to give this app a bad rating because I didn’t use it. Im sure it’s great based on its popular reviews. I deleted it immediately because there’s no compatibility with the Apple Watch. I downloaded one that is compatible, however I wanted to plant an idea seed with this company because it’s prettier than the other. It would be nice to have the compatibility with the Apple Watch AND have a Apple Watch face so that when a contraction begins there’s no scrambling mid-contraction to find the phone/watch and start it 15 seconds into the contraction because you weren’t open on the right screen. That would be the most effective and convenient during this time in my opinion. :)
When I first started going into labor my husband was tracking my contractions with the stop watch on his phone. "You know there are apps for that?" I said. "This is working fine," he said. Fast forward to an hour later when I was in active labor and the contractions were coming hard and fast. My husband got up to get me some water and handed me MY phone. "Push this big button when your next contraction starts." I look down and he had downloaded a contraction app! When I pointed this out he said that it was way too much to try to keep track of with a stop watch and notepad. The app itself is very easy to use. You push the big button when a contraction starts and you push it again when it stops. Super easy for even a woman in active labor to do. I didn't realize it, but apparently every few contractions it was telling my husband to take me to the hospital! When we finally went I only labored for about an hour before I was fully dilated and started to push, so the app seemed to be spot on. It's nothing fancy, but it got the job done and in the chaos of labor we needed something super simple.
I was only 32 weeks and 6 days pregnant when I started having contractions. I wasn’t sure if they were Braxton hicks or real contractions, so I downloaded this app. It told me right away that I should start preparing to go to the hospital. I was in denial but I could see that my contractions went from 5.5 minutes apart to 4 minutes apart. Still in denial, I called the on-call doctor, and he said it was probably nothing but I could go in to get checked if I wanted to ease my mind…the whole time the app was telling me to head to hospital now. When I got to the hospital I was already a 7! I couldn’t believe how accurate this app was. I’m so relieved and thankful that I downloaded it.
I downloaded this tracker as I was near my expected due date. It was simple and just what I needed. Writing times and counting down on your own is too much hassle when your going into pre labor or active labor. This app is a must have when you’re close to going into labor. They give you a notice after 5 -6 consecutive trackings on whether to go to or call the hospital or stay home as it’s not close enough yet. With the tracker listings, it was easy to tell the nurse when and how long the contractions were. I recommend this app to anyone whose near their expected delivery date. It worked great for me and I would use it again in the future. Wishing everyone the best.
I downloaded this app when I was suffering with false labor pains for two days already , until the last day something in me told me to download an app where I could track my contractions but would ALSO tell me when to leave the hospital because the night before I had been sent back as a first time mom I didn’t know anything about how labor would feel or how contractions even really felt. Downloaded it last night & ALL night the window popped up to go the the hospital , I ignored it thinking it was false till I made my boyfriend drive me to the hospital at 3 am and the app was correct! About 24 hours later we welcomed our baby boy to this world 🩵
I was using another app to track my contractions and was getting so stressed out/confused as what to do and if they were real contractions. I called the hospital and doctors office which told me different things to try and gave me tips. I downloaded this app after seeing it in a group. I love the average frequency and length feature!! I had thought mine were farther apart with the other app but in fact they were close! Within 4 contractions the app suggested I get ready for the hospital. I stayed home for a bit longer and it kept notifying me to get ready until finally it said time to go! When I got to the hospital I was 3cm and delivered the next day!
Found the simplicity really useful when my contractions started. I would just recommend to developers to work on the algorithm (or remove the feature) where the app tells you if you’re having real or Braxton hicks contractions. I kept getting notified that I was having Braxton hicks when I was definitely, definitely having real contractions. For most women, contractions aren’t so exactly consistently spaced out so I suspect it’s an overly sensitive algorithm or something. Otherwise, really liked the app and would recommend! Anyway best thing to do is call the hospital to know when to go in rather than rely on any app for that info.
My labor started at 5am. And my contractions started out at 5mins apart. I had prodromal labor with my first daughter, and I was convinced that I was experiencing the same thing again. But I downloaded this app about 2 hours into labor, just to help me time my contractions. After about 4 contractions, the app told me to go to the hospital. (Keep in mind, it was only 7am at this point). Despite my doubt, I headed to the hospital and gave birth less than an hour after being there. If it wasn’t for this app, I would have had my baby at home or in the car! Lol. Also, It’s super easy to use - no learning curve at all. Love it!
I would of had a home birth if this timer didn’t tell me to go to the nearest hospital. This was my second pregnancy and I woke up at 2 in the morning thinking I had to use the bathroom, I was uncomfortable but not in any pain. I downloaded the first timer that popped up and it happened to be this one so I was going about timing what I was feeling. The notification for head to the nearest hospital kept popping up and I finally decided to listen to it after 30 minutes. I was 5cm and in active labor at our arrival and had our sweet baby girl 3 hours later. Download this timer!
I was referred to this app from an expecting parent GC. The first time I used the app was 5 days prior to me going into labor. On the day I went into labor I used this app at 4 AM and the app informed me to Head to the hospital, when I got to the hospital I found out I was in labor! I had my baby by that afternoon! With it being my first child I wasn’t sure if I was having contractions or counting them correctly on my own but I will say with this app and it notifying me to head to the hospital I’m glad I downloaded it because I had to travel far to the hospital and risked going into labor home!
It does what it says, but will tell you to rush to the hospital even though it could be a false. After losing mucus plug I got a lot of painful but tolerated contractions but then went away after a few hours even tho it said go to ER. Then next day same thing for 4 hours but waited didn’t go to ER until early next morning when contractions were to the point I couldn’t take anymore. Got to the hospital with 5cm. If you go to the ER to check cervix always tell them no consent to membrane sweep. They will try to induce you at 3cm and push pitocin on you.
I used this with my first 2 babies and will be using it with my 3rd. Im glad i paid for it the first time cause now i just download it again when I go into labor. Everytime its told me to go to the hospital it was correct. Both times I questioned it and waited and by the time I went I was in PAIN and impatiently waiting for an epidural. I would say its useful for people who plan to have multiple or arent on birth control, also moms who havent had a natural birth. I thought id go natural both times unfortunately I was too craven haha.
I’m always weary of these apps with perfect scores, but this no frills app worked great for timing my wife’s contractions and got us to the hospital just in time. Healthy baby was delivered 5 hours after it told us to leave for the hospital. I did buy the $3 in app upgrade because it seemed like a no brainer cost. Definitely would recommend to friends, family, and internet strangers. Thanks to the developers for this simple to use app. It immensely helped us navigate a scary experience :) Good luck to the parents reading this!
So I never write reviews… but this app was a saving grace during the early stages of my labor. After my water broke, I didn’t want to immediately go to the hospital so I used this app to track every contraction (length and frequency) so I knew when it was time to go. On top of that, the app notifies you (based on your stats) of when it thinks you should go to the hospital. That way you don’t have to analyze the data yourself. I’m so so glad I had this for my birth. I will definitely be recommending it to other birthing parents.
This app was so helpful for me during my pregnancy! I had a lot of Braxton-Hicks contractions and false labor. It was sometimes difficult to know when to be concerned or not and this app was an amazingly helpful tool! It also told me when I was really in labor that I needed to go to the hospital. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend basing all decisions on a single app, but I highly recommend using this app to help track contractions! I did try other tracking apps - this one was my favorite
This app was recommended to me through a friend who recently had a baby and i was due soon. Started having contractions, used this app to track them. It eventually told me go to the hospital and so I did and had my baby not even 3 hours later! As a first time mom, I probably would have tried holding out longer at home if it wasn't for this app! So grateful that an app was actually worth it and made it to the hospital in time. I'm highly impressed!
As an expecting ftm I had no idea if I’d be able to identify contractions in the moment. What do they feel like? How will I know for certain? Every woman said “you just know”, but I was stressing. A few weeks before my due date I downloaded this app and reluctantly paid the one time fee. My water broke like three nights later at 12am (I didn’t know that’s what it was until later) and what I thought were contractions started VERY shortly after. I was home alone and wondered if I was exaggerating the pain. 3 weeks early? It can’t be active labor. Should I call my husband? I don’t want to bother him over a false alarm. I called my OB, they were 50/50, said come in for a checkup it’s probably false labor. Thankfully I pulled this app up and started the counter. It very quickly alerted me to GO TO THE HOSPITAL! Got there at 2am. Was 8cm dilated. No time for any epidural or pain meds. She was here two hours later. Beautiful. Then I started hemorrhaging and it got very bad very, very fast. The staff was talking in hushes as my OB told me she’s never in her career seen someone lose as much blood as I have and still be conscious. Long story short I’m here today & all went well. But had I not had this app downloaded and ready to go I can’t say for certain that I wouldn’t have downplayed my pain / doubted myself. This app told me verbatim this IS active labor. Which is what got me to the hospital when it did. Had I waited even half an hour later I might have gone into labor at home or in the car and I would have absolutely bled out and died. In front of my husband and our adopted 12yo son. A truly devastating thought. 4 months PP and I’ve been asked what advice I can give ftms going into L&D. I really sat with that question today remembering my birthing experience/trauma and I had to leave a review. Maybe no one will read this. Maybe someone will, but if it helps even one person like it did me I promise it’s worth $4.99 or whatever I paid. I felt silly paying for it at the time because ftms get sold on so much useless stuff. This app was not one of those things!!!
This app was very helpful. It helped give my sister-in-law something to focus on through her contractions on our way to the hospital. The clean interface and large buttons allowed for ease of use. Unlike other comments we found it comical when it told us to head to the hospital bc we were already en-route but it does appear to have been up-dated to follow the 5-1-1 rule of thumb. My sister-in-law was very disappointed to find that it wasn't available in the Google Playstore for her future use.
The screen doesn’t go off, when it’s pulled up, doesn’t have constant annoying advertisements like other contraction apps, I give 4 stars, because you can edit a contraction only if you buy full version, but when having contractions hit the button by accident a couple times. And this app also doesn’t record at what time when you were having the contractions, some other apps had that, so that would be nice to add, to be able to look back through the whole day at the time and intensity of the contractions.
Used this app a few days ago while I'm labor. I love the clean design and the large button tap for the start and stop of contractions. Very easy to use. The updates about when to pack or leave for the hospital were also an added bonus that I appreciated. The only thing I would have liked was for there to be some way to see what time the contraction actually happened. As I'm trying to think back to when I was actually in "active" labor, I'm realizing that information would have been helpful. That aside! Definitely get this app.
I was skeptical about using a timer app but I gave it a try anyways once my contractions were strong and consistent. I timed about 4 of them and it told me to go to the hospital. Stubborn as I am I told myself I’m not going unless it tells me again so I cleared/reset the timer and begin timing once again once I felt a contraction. Sure enough it told me to go again, so I did. 7 hours later I was pushing lol. Glad I listened.
I used this app for about two weeks to make sure I was keeping the right track. It kept saying practice contractions and it calmed me down On the day of, it said to prepare and call the hospital. We did, so we were ready to go. Then, it prompted me to go to the hospital. I went to pee and what was left of my mucus plug came out. So I woke up my husband and got to the hospital. Three hours later, my baby was born. This app really helped me to come in at the right time and not freak out before hand
This was a great app for keep track of the spacing of contractions and length of each contraction. The interface was attractive and easy to use and read under pressure. My labor came on hard and fast so it was great to be able to see really how quickly everything was happening. The app did tell me to go to the hospital earlier than my OB advised. I would just lose that feature. Each pregnancy and doctor's advice is different. I ignored the alerts and followed my OB's advice. I would defiantly use this app again and recommend it.
I bought his app in advance of my daughter’s birth to help keep track of contractions. We were a week and a few days late but the minute the contractions came this app took out all the guesswork and let us know when we should get to the hospital and it was right. My only note is that I wish there was a running counter on the right side to show you the distance between contractions to give you a heads up that another one could be coming. Worth the price.
I don’t write reviews, this is my first review on here…. With that being said this app is everything I used it with both of my kids, And it worked amazingly. I just had a baby and when my contractions was consistent the app told me to go to the hospital and when i did I had my baby the same day ! Same with my first son , if you’re pregnant and almost due I recommend this app 1000% ! It’s helpful
It worked for my friend and worked the night I went to the hospital. Very easy and pretty accurate and let me know I may need to pack my bags soon for the hospital. I continued to use this into the evening and it alerted me I needed to go to the hospital and sure enough within 45 min I had full on heavy contractions and am so glad I went to the hospital since I felt nothing really at home ! Loved this app and it was so useful !!!
This app helped me when other ones I started then prompted to upgrade and pay this was free, quick, simple and exactly why I needed. Once it said to call my doctor and head to the hospital I did just that and the Dr asked questions I only knew because the app helped me track it. So I was able to correctly track my contractions in the middle of the night while I wasn't aware of timing and have it exactly documented. This is the best app!
I honestly love this app. It has helped me keep up with my contractions, which makes it easier when I go to the hospital for labor so I can let them know how far apart they were. This is very helpful, for anyone who’s looking for a contracting app to keep track of them, I DEFINITELY recommend this one. By the way 40 weeks today so this has been extremely helpful.
Intuitive, robust, well-designed. It allowed me to track my wife’s contractions and it indicated that we needed to go to the hospital at the perfect time. We showed up with her in active labor, didn’t get sent back home or told we were too early. Highly recommend it. Easy to use under stress and allows deleting entries in case of an error or an oddball one that is super irregular or something.
At the begging I had been getting the “get ready “ screen but I was just ignoring it since I had gone the day before to my appointment & I was 0 dilate & wanted me to deliver in 1 1/2 week since baby didn’t seemed to be dropped either. I thought the app was a scam or something & didn’t really wanted to go to the hospital and get send back but my bf ended up taking me & I was 2 dilated & in 4 hours I was 8cm and I had her in 2 hours . I recommend this app
Seriously this app saved me from delivering my second son in the car! I thought I had time yet, based off my first delivery, when it told me to go to the hospital I was going to wait. My partner insisted that if the app said to go we are going and it's a good thing too because we were at the hospital less than an hour and my son was born! Simple and easy to use and understand, which is everything you want going into labor! A++++
Best UI out there - very simple & straightforward. I really like this one & am using it over the other two I downloaded. That said; is is definitely bare bones 3 basic missing features: if I hit the button by accident, then delete the accidental contraction, it should fix the "duration" time -- i.e., if I have a contraction at 10:10, bump the button accidentally at 10:05, then have another contraction at 10:10, then delete the middle one... the duration between the two "real" contractions should be 10 minutes, not 5. I should be able to update the length of a contraction. And I should be able to rate "strength" ... those seem the major missing features to me, but overall the app is usable, has a nice clean UI, and isn't annoying. Definitely worth a try, especially if you just want the basics :)
Great app, it’s helped us with the birth of two of our daughters! Gets the job done.
Absolutely no notes. I loved the recommendations of when to go to hospital, how it listed the average duration, and time between contractions. Super user friendly and was such a game-changer on when to decide to go to hospital.
我刚下载,一直疼。从凌晨三四点到晚上11点,记了一整天,都说是假宫缩。我11点去医院已经开三指了。
Tried a few different timer apps and this was the best by far.

Helped me to track time during the most painful time in my life
Loved it for my first baby, so easy to track contractions.
Very helpful and easy to use
Is ok - cant edit times if forget to turn off or turn off too soon
Highly recommend this app! It comes so handy for mummas and families to keep track of contractions. It does the work for you so that you can accurately record keep. An angel thought of this.
Used this with my second born, super easy to use & told me exactly when I needed to go to the hospital for birth and was very spot on. I have recommended to many of my friends who recently had children.
Ouff
Works great
Worked Great! Worth the extra couple bucks to get the full version
Useful but it keeps asking for a review while I am in labour
It timed my contractions!!!
Useful with the caveat that you’ll need to pay for the premium app. Otherwise the pop up ads will interfere with your counts.
What more could you want.
Fine
I like the interface of the app and how easy it is to use it on the phone. Even with the free version I’m able to track the length of the contractions and the intensity. Unfortunately, the app is not compatible with the Apple Watch which is inconvenient since I barely carry my phone with me around the house. So I end up not being able to track accurately.
I’m waiting for my contraction. Hopefully it works well.
My daughters birth progressed pretty quickly. The app let me know when to head to the hospital. Thank you!
Contraction Timer & Counter 9m Negative Reviews and Ratings
Maybe this app would have more value to the parents who only want to know what time to go to the hospital. But we did hike birth and wanted to know when to call the midwife. Same same. But the part where the app isn’t very smart is when we were tracking, it would tell us over and over to get ready to go to the hospital, then eventually go to the hospital. Which it would keep repeating over and over. Like yeah, I heard ya. Still wanted to keep track. Not worth the $3, but what’s $3 anyways? This review is just my experience I’m sharing for anyone who’s on the fence and in maybe a similar situation. Don’t waste your money. My wife never had contractions lasting more than a minute, so the 5-1-1 method wouldn’t have worked either. My advice is that once she starts to really get crippled by the contractions, it’s time to go to hospital or calll the midwife. Labor lasted 14 hours and I’m glad we stayed home, much more comfortable and the baby came out aware not high on fentanyl. Cheers.
I like the actual timing of the contractions however, it would be more helpful to know what the level of intensity of the contractions are. Being able to "rate" the pain level of each contraction would be better because Braxton Hicks contractions can come on the regular but unfortunately not be a good indicator of actual labor. Also, according to most OBs/midwives, the rule to go to the hospital follows 5-1-1. Contractions that are 5 mins apart, 1 minute in duration and lasting for 1 hour. The app told me to head to he hospital when my contractions were ranging from 11 to 17 to 8 mins apart. It appears to only take into consideration if you've had 4 contractions total before suggesting to head in but not really considering the spacing aspect. Again, I do like the ability to see the time frame between multiple contractions but I feel there are features that would be more beneficial when actually determining if labor is real.
IPhone 18. I tracked one contraction that lasted about a minute then hit “end” and it logged the contraction as ended. Then when I went back to the app 10 minutes later for my next contraction, the first contraction had never stopped tracking so I had a 10 minute contraction logged. My next contraction only lasted about 20 seconds and when I hit end, the button changed color but the timer kept going up. There was no way to stop the timer because the button had already reset to “start contraction.” Basically this app is unusable and I regret spending the money on it (I had to pay before I could try it, it says there is a premium version but as far as I can tell there is no “non-premium version, you have to pay to open it for the first time).
So this app is great. I helped me to keep track of my contractions and gave me a record to bring to the hospital. My issue with this app is that when you have to free version, it has a sneaky extra black ring around the start contraction button so that when you are trying to look at the record, you might accidentally push it. When you do that you start a contraction and mess up your average. In order to delete it or change it you have to pay for it. That just seems deceptive to me. Other than that I love that you can easily start and stop contractions, see your record and average, and rate the severity of the contraction.
This is my 4th baby so I’ve used a couple different apps and there are plenty of great free ones that aren’t as inconvenient as this one. You can’t delete a contraction if you accidentally bump it so it is included of your frequency log even if it wasn’t correct. It also PLAYS NOISY ADDS THAT YOU CAN’T SKIP even if you need to end or start a contraction. It’s not just an read advertisement you can press the x. It’s got sounds and everything. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to trial it with a false labor incident so I don’t have to deal with it in real time. It would have completely thrown off my relaxation. Don’t use this app. There are numerous others that work great.
The app is great and works perfectly for timing contractions. I used it as a first time mom and found it extremely helpful and easy. My issue is with the ad pop ups, they are nearly impossible to minimize/close because the exit button is at the very top right of the iPhone screen. I had to tap over 30+ times to close each ad each time and some times my next contraction would already be happening. This affects the functionality of what the app is meant to do and should really be improved.
I want to say that the app works fine, I’ve used it before with my first child for contractions, but the ads are very annoying and make the app more of a hassle than a help. Having to close out the app after marking literally only 4 contractions because an ad for a game I do not intend to play is popping up really feels like a slap in the face. They know people are going to use the contraction app, they know the point of the app is to tap a button on the screen to track your contractions (which is obviously purposely designed to be right above the ads running at the bottom of the screen) and I have accidentally tapped the ad instead of marking a contraction far too often. I understand wanting to make money and even running those ads at the bottom of the screen, but the pop-up ads are very annoying and literally happen every 4 or 5 contractions, I highly doubt they are going to do anything about it because it makes them money. Makes me feel like I was too harsh on Count the Kicks’ contraction timer as they didn’t have any ads but rather some in-app pop-ups. Yes, I can just close the app and reopen it once the ad pops up but I’ve had it to where a couple times now the ad has played its audio despite me having my sound off, which is very obnoxious especially in a public space. Not to mention it deletes the intensity of the last contraction marked, and most people having a contraction are probably in a great deal of discomfort and having to deal with something popping up in your face on the app that is supposed to be helping you can make people feel more fed up with the situation than helped. Honestly I’m just going to use the Count the Kicks app because it has dual-functionality and feels like it’s actually intended to help rather than benefit from knowing so many people use the app. In fact the only reason I really started using this app again is because it runs the contraction in the background which actually can be a problem if you forget it’s running because it will completely destroy your whole session and you’ll have to delete all the contractions you’ve marked if you want it to actually be accurate. It doesn’t even offer a “delete last contraction” option. It’s a very simple app that has far too many ads to accommodate for something other apps do just fine if not better.
I used this for my last pregnancy and it worked wonderfully and was very helpful. But for this current pregnancy, they have now added advertisements. And while that is overall fine to me because I understand they deserve to make money for their work, it is quite infuriating when a video ad starts going in the middle of a painful contraction… and you just want to delete the app right away (after the pain stops). And I’m not paying $3 for an app I will only use for a a few days at the most. That’s ridiculous. Anyway… sorry about my rant. That’s just how I feel.
I’m not going to need this app in literally one week, so I’m having a really hard time getting myself to pay for the full version. I just need something to help me time my contractions because it’s hard to try to write stuff down while it’s happening. I like the app and I see that it has a lot of positive reviews, but all I need is a little help timing the duration and frequency of my contractions, and I’m kind of bummed that I have to pay to use it without ads. This isn’t something that I will need to use after I give birth, which will hopefully be soon, so I just can’t bring myself to spend money on it..
I used this app to count my contractions while I was in labor. The issue I have with it is the interactive ads that you HAVE to play in order to skip them before continuing counting contractions. I was 8cm dilated without knowing while my husband had to help a fish swim through obstacles to get back to the app. In results, this gave us inaccurate readings for my contractions and by the time I got to the hospital I was pushing and had my child shortly after. I don’t mind ads...but the fact that it’s interactive and you can’t override it, caused me to almost give birth in my car. For that reason, I give the app 2 stars.
The concept is good and liked this app, but it had very annoying full screen ads for video games. Went ahead and paid for the app to support and get rid of the ads, used it in the hospital during labor when the monitors were having issues picking up the contractions, and the ads were still there! Very annoying to be subjected to multiple full screen video ads that render the app useless right in the middle of labor. This app failed us right when we needed it most, very disappointed, would recommend looking elsewhere.
Im literally half asleep and i was trying to time a contraction but nooo, it had to tell me to join the subscription and would NOT let me close the freaking pop up. Im stressed out and in pain, the least you could do is let me close the pop up. Also, why on earth does a simple app that im only going to use maybe a few times at the end of my pregnancy need a subscription? Its honestly bs. Im sorry for the sour review, its a really great contraction timer and i love the widget access, but why would i use this app when a 100% free and add free one exists?
It’s annoying that they even have a version whereby you can’t edit the contractions unless you upgrade. Timing contractions is critical and by the time you need to edit one of yours, you’ve already been using the app and have your previous data stored so you feel you need to pay for the upgrade to maintain the integrity of your data. Doesn’t make sense to me able to record and track data but not edit it if you’ve input something wrong. I’m sure they get a lot of panic upgrades because people are in the middle of labour. Not cool.
App has ads that pop up and you can’t use it. In the middle of labour and an ad for solitare appears that cannot be closed. Lost track of contractions.
My wife was in labor and I was trying to use the app but was unable due to the ads preventing me from starting the timer. This happened several times and made it difficult to track contractions
After timing 5 contractions you get locked into an ad, which is the absolute last thing you need when you’re in excruciating pain trying to time your contractions. Don’t bother unless you’re going to purchase the ad free version.
Like a criminal level of ads.
You need to pay just to delete or edit a contraction. My clock app does a better job, just use a different app, the only function without paying like $4 a week is the start and stop button. Useless
Super inappropriate. I didn’t pay for the membership and it is showing me naked couples and penises as an advertisement
Specifically downloaded & purchased the premium version for the Lock Screen Widget feature. Either I can figure it out or there isn’t a widget feature (first bullet point in the description) Disappointed and wasted $10 😒
The fact that you cant edit contractions is infuriating, then there are the ads in the middle of my contractions. If you mess up one single entry, the message that pops up is honestly rude. I can tell this app was made by men. One star.
When using the free version, every so often you get caught with a video ad you can’t skip. I missed tracking several contractions because of this, and you can’t manually enter them later. The way ads are integrated into this app is fundamentally at odds with the apps purpose, and makes it unusable IMO
App is fine I do not like how it gots ads the ads are annoying would be nice if they removed them
Во время схваток постоянно включалась реклама, как вы думаем уместна ли реклама для женщины во время схваток ??
Wife goes into labor and the app is asking me to rate it while we’re busy trying to time a particularly painful contraction. Cmon. It also told us within 3 interactions it was time to go to the hospital, which was untrue - since the last number in a 411 or 511 contraction timing is “for one hour”. It was more annoying than helpful as a timer
The fact that this has ads between contractions that you have to x out of boggles my mind - keep the ads non interrupting or down below. What the heck
Ad popped up right when I needed to track. Stupid.
Ads pop up while using it, really tries to push you to buy the premium version by giving you almost no options in the app.
L’application calcule correctement les contractions mais impossible de supprimer les erreurs, ni de faire plusieurs rondes de contractions. Même lorsqu’on paie l’app.
Stop asking me to review your app while I’m actively having contractions! TERRIBLE
I’m rating this before I go into labour in hopes to avoid being asked when I’m in immense pain, like the other reviews state! 😆
Not happy I paid for this app and it’s asking me for a review mid contraction!!!
Can’t even edit contractions without paying lol
Tells you to go to the hospital WAY too soon.
Can’t edit in the free version
The amount of ads basically makes this app unusable. Other free apps are a better option.
Maybe it would be better to not have a request for reviews right after most contractions? Like, I’m busy, OBVIOUSLY! The timing and warnings to contact your provider, or head to the hospital were reassuring. App did what it was supposed to. Was just annoying to have to close a review window before prepping for another contraction.
-Make sure to shop around before stuck with this expensive and very basic app -They make sure to force you to buy while you or your significant other in labor otherwise you willl lose information that you entered
Don’t pay for this trash. Says free. But won’t let you do things without paying. Trash
I downloaded the app a month ago to be able tkk on use it when the time came without this exact issues as I read it in the reviews. Let me labour in peace!!
