Good app

Good overall app.

Worked well

A useful app to have, especially with night time contractions when you might be half asleep in between. Easy to use, inexpensive and some nice summary features to monitor the progression of your contractions via charts or summaries of contraction duration and frequency over the last 5 or 3 contractions which can help to get an idea when to call the hospital at that golden 5 min frequency lasting at least a min phase. There’s also a way to delete data you enter by mistake. Overall I found this very helpful and definitely worth the money.

I want to love this

The interface is nice and very easy to use and work with on both Apple Watch and iPhone X. However, I’ve ‘tracked’ maybe 20 contractions now and only 5 have been recorded. I’m using my Apple Watch to do this as I’m not just sitting still with my phone, so it appears there’s an issue between the two interfaces. This is a real shame since I paid for this app and can’t use it as conveniently as I need.

Waste

This is a waste of money!!!!! Do not purchase! I have never reviewed an app. but this one is horrible!!
The breakdowns of contractions are useless.
It hasn’t been saving my data either .
I know had three contractions on one hour and it only saved one of them.
It wasn’t an expensive app but its frustrating that I now have to purchase another one.

Works great!

Love being able to use this on my watch! Been helpful so far!

Love the watch app

I’m an Apple Watch user and love the fact that I can time my partners contractions without the need for my phone in my hand.

Unlike other users I read the developers description on the free version, mentioning it is limited to 20 contractions and downloaded this one instead.

Despite what other users have written in reviews for this paid app, you can transfer your data from the free version to the paid version with one simple tap from settings while in the free version.

I would encourage users to read the description off the app before downloading it so you know what to expect from the app. Dive through the menus so you know what it’s capable of.

I also think it’s price is reasonable given its design and use is much easier than other free apps I tried.

Try it out on your Apple Watch!!

Awesome App

I love this timer. This is my 5th pregnancy and I have always timed labor on my own. This app has been great! The only thing I don't like is you can't delete just one contraction. My children, husband or even myself, have accidentally bumped it during a contraction or I've left the timer going . This messes up the summary and averages. I would love to be able to just delete those slip ups.

Lacking Features

Nice graphics and functions smoothly. However, no apparent way to add a missed contraction. Can change timing, but in editing, can only change date/hours/minutes, not seconds. They're important. The big problem is the charting. If the contractions stop & start, or if you try to sleep overnight, the chart shows a huge spike on the frequency because there's no way to pause or gap the space. The result is that the real, pertinent numbers lose all focus and become difficult to see.

Great app! I used it & loved it

Thank you for such a great app! I love the user interface. I love the colors & the functions of the app. So happy I bought this app! I loved it!! Used it during labor (well, until I couldn't anymore haha) it was great to have the info when I arrived to the hospital. I bought the baby care tracker, too & Love it just as much!

Gets the job done

Good tool to use when timing contractions.

Very useful and easy

Very easy to use, even for a woman in labour! I had accurate information to ring the hospital with, and the midwives even used it!! NB: I bought the full version after reading reviews on the free version which only allows 20 contractions.

Great App

This is a great app!! Wish I had found it sooner!!

Useful until it's free

Very easy to use and useful app, until the 22nd or 23rd contraction, when you have to pay and download the full app.
I think it's not fair they don't say it before that the free app it's only a trial, and because you are in pain, don't have time to find another free app so you just pay to keep using it!
And the new app doesn't even connect with the old one, upgrading it, so you loose all you datas and overall timing.
Definitely not recommended

Very Helpful

I used this when having braxton hicks to differentiate them from real labour.
My husband also used them during labour & knowing the timings and intervals exactly helped me to cope. Good value.

Easy to use!

Very user-friendly!!

Great tracker!

I really liked using this app to track my labor 20 days ago during the birth of my first daughter. Would give 5 stars but I started with the free app and was a little miffed when all of a sudden my husband went to time the next contraction and it said you've reached the max number of tracked contractions in the free edition. I thought the paid version just had more features or something and did not expect to reach the end of use of the free version, especially without any prior warning. I did go ahead and purchase the full app though and it's worth the money, I think. I was then able to email the history of all my contractions from both the free and paid app to myself to save for her baby book and future reference. You can also save a photo of the charts the app creates. Overall I'm very happy with this app and would use again and recommend to friends!

Meh...but ok

The only thing I disliked was the fact that it seemed not to track my contractions properly. I had lengthy contractions so when the next one would start it seems like the time between them was off.

Just okay....

This app has more negatives than positives. One good thing it does is time contractions, problem is if you forget to hit stop or mistakenly hit start, there is no way to delete the last entry and it totally messes up your data. The graph is confusing and is one long picture of all the times you've used it rather than saving data from each time you've used it. I've been contracting off and on for days and unless I delete the history each time I need the app, I can't get an accurate picture of my contractions at that time. I'd probably be better off using the stopwatch with a pen and paper.

Pretty good

I used this app with my last child, and am using it again for my current pregnancy. I like the ease of use while tracking contractions, when the contractions get hard and close together it is still easy to use and actually helped me focus during a crazy drive to the hospital with my 3rd. I agree with others, however, that the app is clunky and difficult to set up in the beginning. My due date has changed twice and it is a pain to get that changed in the app.

Love it!

For a buck, it works great, only need to track 15 minutes every hour and this does the job well!
