The most simple function isn’t calculating.

Response from developer

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue. I’m not seeing an issue when testing. Can you provide additional information?

Simple Interface + Valuable App

Intensity of contractions shown through sad face icons is 100% the wrong message to send to mothers during labor. Birth is natural, beautiful process and women shouldn’t be rating their experiences with various sad faces.

The app is simple, easy to use and attractive. Valuable to use during labor.

Elegant and useful

Recommended by our coach, this app is clean and worth the investment. Easy to use and no ads.

Hospital reminders

I'm a midwife, and I've been using this app to time contractions at homebirths for years, while I appreciate the option for the app to tell the user when to go to the hospital I don't like the update doesn't allow you to turn it off and the reminders come after each contraction. I'd like the option to not use that feature returned to the app.

Thanks for your feedback! As of the latest release (version 4.0.3) you can now control whether or not the Hospital Alert automatically appears.
