### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-05-18*

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!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the support and for sharing the app with others. Messages like this genuinely mean a lot as an independent developer. Wishing you all the best in the weeks ahead 🤍

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-11*

Very good, clean and straight forward app.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the feedback!

### 5/5 — Easy to Use

*2026-04-26*

Made timing contractions and knowing when to go in extremely easy

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Glad it helped you stay calm and make the right call at the right moment. Wishing you all the best ahead.

### 1/5 — Don’t rely on this

*2026-03-02*

Only use this app as a means to track contractions. Do NOT rely on this app on when to tell you to go to the hospital. It kept telling me that it wasn’t picking up on any consistent trends even though my contractions were 4-5 minutes apart. My baby was almost born in the car because the app said it wasn’t active labor.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience, and congratulations on your baby.

Bump Pulse is designed to help track contraction timing and spacing, but it does not determine when someone should go to the hospital. It simply shows contraction patterns and common timing guidance such as the 5-1-1 rule.

Labor can progress very differently for everyone, and decisions about when to go to the hospital should always be made with guidance from healthcare professionals.

Your feedback is very helpful, and we will work on communicating more clearly in the app that it is meant for tracking contractions, not for deciding when to leave for the hospital.

Wishing you and your family all the best.

### 4/5 — Good app, though not exactly what I was looking for

*2026-02-23*

The app was good at tracking contractions and creating patterns. However, the only feature which no other app seems to have either is the ability to start measuring contractions from different devices. I could access the contraction history from another device where I made the purchase, but if I started a contraction on the separate device, it would not count towards the same “record” of contractions. Essentially each phone has its own record regardless of whether you share it

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful review. You’re right. Right now contractions are stored per device, so starting a timer on another phone won’t merge into the same record. To sync timers properly I’d need an account/linking layer, and I’ve kept the app account-free on purpose. I’ve noted this for a future improvement.

### 5/5 — Free and amazing

*2026-02-19, version 2.5.0*

Greatly appreciate to have an app simple to use and free and no ads for such important time.

Thank you very much to the developers. I will be happy to bring a small support if there is a need.

### 5/5 — Great timer app with nice features, no frills

*2026-02-17*

Great timer app with nice features, no frills

**Developer response:** Grateful for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Does the job

*2026-02-14*

Does the job really nicely.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Appreciate it. Wishing you all the best.

### 4/5 — Great basic app

*2026-02-05, version 2.5.0*

Great basic app. Quick to get in initially and start recording contractions. Would be better if there was an option to edit or add contractions after the fact. Still it works great for basic tracking and timing. No annoying adds. I recommend this hands down if you’re looking for a free and basic contraction tracking/timing app!

### 5/5 — Great app and free

*2026-01-05*

This app was super helpful during labor. The large timer button made it easy to use without having to focus too much on the phone. The dark mode was great as well. The time average was super helpful. Overall very thankful for this free app. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad Bump Pulse helped during labor. Wishing you and your family all the best.
