Highly recommend

Such a good app, used for my second pregnancy this year and will most definitely use again in the future 💯😍. It’s honestly hard looking for a good contraction app without all the annoying ads, can’t do much because have to pay for this and that, with this app yes you got to pay if you want the fullness but even without it sooo good, my partner gets notifications each time, and love that it does a short summary for you of the number of contractions, duration and frequency along with a chart comparing each day. Really do recommend!!! Love love love

Thank you so much! 💛 Congratulations on your growing family, and I’m so glad Bump Pulse (and the partner notifications) helped you both. Reviews like this keep me going as a solo developer. All the best! – Aurimas

Pay after tracking 5 contractions

Very disappointed - rather than an ad-based model, the app just freezes and requires a $7.99 payment after tracking 5 contractions. Needless to say there was some frustration when we discovered this, and we were not exactly feeling patient in the “moment”…

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write this, and I’m sorry it landed at such a stressful moment. Just to clear up the misunderstanding: nothing locks. That sheet can be closed and you keep tracking free, up to 30 contractions, which covers a normal labor. It read as a hard paywall here, which is on me — I’m making it clearer so no one hits that in the moment.

Paywall to continue use and App kept crashing

I started using this after my water broke. After 5 contractions I was told to purchase the full app, without realizing I would need to. Because I was in labour and didn’t want to research another in the morning I paid for it. After paying for it, the app crashed 3 times that I gave up and asked for a refund. It wasn’t useful if I couldn’t track any more.

Response from developer

Thank you for sharing this, and I’m truly sorry the app let you down during such an important moment. The upgrade screen is intended to be optional, so the app should still remain usable without purchasing. I’ll review how this is presented to make it clearer, and I’ll also investigate the crashes because that should not happen. I completely understand your frustration, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain what happened.

Helpful

It’s nice to have a contract counting app that order give you only limited amount of uses, especially for when the contractions are irregular! I’ve recommended this to another one of my pregnant friends who is currently using it!

Response from developer

Excellent
