Leave a Review Contraction Timer
  • Easy and straightforward

    This app is very simple and easy to use—accomplishes just what you need it to. My only problem with it is that when it times how far apart the contractions are, it seems to record from the beginning of one contraction to the end of the next one, rather than beginning to beginning like you are supposed to. I know this because before you press start it shows a timer that is tracking the time since the last contraction. For instance, the timer might read 6 minutes when you press start, but when it is over the time recorded is 7 minutes. It is supposed to go by when the contraction started, not ended. If it has been 6 minutes since the previous contraction when you press start, that’s the time that should be recorded.

  • Simple and easy to use

    I was able to time a lot of these myself since it was so quick and easy. The feature to touch anywhere on the screen to end is especially helpful. My husband timescthem for a couple of hours while we were in bed (a time that it’s helpful not to have to spend too much time looking at a screen). My labor slowed down and sped up a lot (2 min apart, then 8 min apart) over the hours and it was helpful to be able to qualify. Now we have a beautiful little girl!

  • Will tell you what you need to know!

    This app was useful for timing my contractions and determining when I needed to go to the hospital. You must know what to look for as you deem yourself ready or not. It would be helpful if the app provided recommendations for when you should pay attention to your contractions and go in to hospital (when they could be a sign of active labor). Also, extremely annoying to be asked to rate the app every few minutes when I was dealing with tracking my contractions. The worst time to rate an app!

  • No sign up process at all

    You can just use this app without providing email addresses or any of your personal info. When your using this and downloading it in active labour it helps not to have to go through the annoying sign up processes some apps have. Easy to use also
  • Excellent, just turn off notifications

    I loved this app. It helped me time my contractions so easily. Just turn off notifications for it as it keeps pestering you with them which is not ideal while in labour. I think someone else suggested if the app could have some sort of banner (like when Google Maps is running in background) to tap into app, makes accessing it quicker and easier.

  • Super helpful

    I loved using this App it was so stress free - exactly what you need when you’re having contractions. I would add a few things tho
    There should be a pause bottom for when ur contractions stop completely like it did for me. N instead of looking at the number of hours u didn’t have contractions id rather it said the date

  • Great app but needs some work

    Great, easy to use app and brilliant on Apple Watch too! But it would be good to be able to stop and mark in when the baby is born to stop it timing in between contractions after your last one. I think the only way to stop it is to delete the app by then you lose all you info. But keeping the app means it’s draining my battery! Maybe if you could email the charts to yourself afterwards too would be good.

  • Fine but stop prompting for reviews till later

    This app is good but when users will first use this (eg myself) is when we actually need it and are going through the pain of contractions.

    Would have been great if this app stops prompting for reviews until days later and not at first use...
  • Easy to use

    Easy to use.
    Shows the information simply
    Would recommend
  • Stop hassling me to review in the middle of labour

    This worked okay and has a fairly decent interface, but it simply wouldn’t stop nagging me to review it when we were right in the middle of labour and concentrating on tracking painful contractions. It was absolutely the last thing we needed and got in the way of the one job we needed it for.

    Would also be good if there was a better graphical representation/summary of previous contractions over time.
