Leave a Review Count the Kicks!
Fantastic
This app is truly fantastic. It makes counting my baby’s kicks fun and so easy. I love that it saves all the kick sessions and that you can get an average time it takes baby to do ten kicks over time, so you will know if he/she is taking longer than usual.RasberryBredenhann
So far so good
I’ve been using the app for about a month now and it’s very easy to use and I haven’t had any glitches. I like that you can undo a kick and that you can pause and come back to a session if needed. I would recommend this app to others.APasley
Best app I found
I’ve tried out multiple different apps and this was my favorite. Simple to use, easy to open and get started, keeps track of data in a way I liked.
Only thing I would change, which may be true of all of the kit counting apps, is I wish I could use it while in airplane mode.
Very useful, happy app :-)Show lessKC Songkeer
Bad for women
The app is effective for assisting a woman doing her kick count, but the accompanying stories of “saved babies” are distressing at best and irresponsible/potentially hurtful at worst. Most women who notice reduced fetal movement will go on to deliver healthy babies. This is deliberately obscured by the app, contributing to increased anxiety and fear amongst the users (including myself at the time, despite high medical literacy).
Encouraging women to communicate with their providers if they have any concern. Do not wave horror stories in front of women’s faces. For what it’s worth, the suggestion that the app “saved” any babies in the stories is misguided and misleading.
My rec: talk to your doctor if you are worried. If you want a kick counter app, get a different one that doesn’t include deliberate scare tactics.Show lessclshap

Thank you for your feedback, we take all feedback very seriously and we will be sure to review this as a team. We would never want to scare women and we apologize for any fear we may caused for you and your pregnancy.Great peace of mind
This app was so easy to use and being a first time mom, it helped me through my anxieties about my baby. Gave me cute little tips and it was a nice way to bond with my baby every night before bed. I am honestly going to miss having this app on my phone a little bit and having those nightly reminders now that he is here with me, safe and healthy.Show lessrach20161997
Too glitchy to rely on
I wanted to like this app - especially given all the positive ratings- but the first two out of three sessions I had were a complete waste. Day 1, I started counting, finished the session, then it prompted me to create an account or continue on as a guest. I of course created an account, as I intended to use this for the next 3 months. Unfortunately, once I did that, all my session data was lost and was not synced to the new account I created. I was bummed but planned to do Day 2 with my new account. All was well. On to Day 3 (today), things were going well. However, when I went to record a kick, I opened back up my phone (bc if no activity, the screen goes black - which was fine before - you just reopen it and continue your counts…although it would be ideal for the app to stay open and active when you were in an active kick count session), and this time the app had just restarted itself and was back to the main screen asking me to count my kicks! When I went into session history, I saw my incomplete session with 3 missing kicks and the time it took to get to 7. Why did it choose that time to just shut down and restart? So once again, I was left with incomplete data. I’m deleting this app and finding a new one - this info is way too important to keep taking chances on whether my info will save one day to the next!Show lessBlair04

Feel free to also reach out to us at info@countthekicks.org so we may be able to troubleshoot with you personally. Thank you.Great until the update.
I love this app due to being able to track my baby’s movements. I love that it keeps track of how long it normally takes for the baby to kick 10 times, what time of day I did the tracking, and the date. However, the app recently had an update and all of my “times” changed to random times. I am basically starting all over again today which is disappointing.Show lessRissa9
Data Never Saved
I’ve installed this app and tried for 2 days. The interface is confusing and hard to use: I first tried the “start counting” function, which seemed to have recorded a session with 10 baby kicks. But after I saved the session, it went nowhere to be found. I thought maybe I needed to created an account first, which then I did, and I also created a baby profile. Then I tried to count again and saved my session, but under “Kick Session History” it showed “nothing here”. I was confused. Then I tried to record another session under the baby profile I created, now it seemed like the session had been saved. Today I opened the app and checked again, all sessions I “saved” previously were gone again. So frustrating. Such a waste of time. Where did the rating 4.8/5 come from???Show lesskikicolly

Again, so sorry about this and we hope you connect with us. Thank you!Older version was better
I started using this app about 3 months ago. (A lady I lnow is a huge advocate/ambassador for it and I’ve been wanting to use it with this second pregnancy.) I am currently 7 months pregnant. It was great at keeping track of my sessions. Well, this app was recently upgraded. The biggest difference is that I have used this app every day since the upgrade and the app keeps saying I’m on day 1. Yesterday, it even said I haven’t logged in 2 days. So I logged in the afternoon around 5pm and again in the evening around 10:45 pm. The app still said I’ve only done one session. I’m going to give it a few more days. If it doesn’t change, I will delete and look for something else.Show lessXoxobunch

So, at first I was annoyed because I counted several sessions before I created an account. Once I created my account, it wiped my session history with no notice. Then, it started saving a few, but the averages and charts were all messed up. Now it doesn’t save any of my sessions, at all! What’s the point if it doesn’t actually save data? Seems like it was a really good tool before the update, which stinks because I did like the ability to track movement strength too.Show lessjustkate2
