Really lacking
Real shame as it’s a great charity and NHS midwife recommended by the app is really lacking as it’s a shame as it has potential. The NHS recommend taking note of a pattern of routine of baby kicks but the app only allows you to track the amount of kicks per day, rather than showing what time of the day those kicks took place.

Glitchy
Could be really useful but the app is just too glitchy. Constantly loses my counts for the day so I have to try and remember how many I’d logged, might as well just write it down somewhere instead.
Rubbish
No option for if you’re pregnant with multiples to track individual baby movements
Frustrating
Keeps asking me the following every time I try to register 1 kick:
"Kicks Count" would like to paste from "Mail"
Do you want to allow this?
Extremely frustrating!

Apps not that great
Hard work to log in or out, you can’t compare by time frame and is just really simple app
Glitchy
Unable to use as cannot get introduction to load and many of the icons just won’t load.
Helpful for all day tracking
I really like this app, I think it fills a gap the other kick counting apps do not meet. Other apps are great for doing your once a day kick counting tracker (ex: every day after dinner count how long to get to 10 kicks), this app is good for paying attention all day. It is important to pay attention to what your baby’s patterns are throughout the day, and this app allows you to do that and record it. If normally I feel my baby move 15-20 sessions per day, but one day I only feel 4 sessions, I would go to the hospital that day to be checked out. Better safe than sorry. I define a “session” as a movement that happens more than 15 minutes since the last session I recorded. I record one count per session. This app isn’t perfect but I’m glad to have it to fill that gap.
I also recommend using another app for your once per day counting of a single session.
Remember to talk to your doctor about your approach!

Great!
I’ve used this app in both of my pregnancies and it’s been really useful. It’s helped me both times around to know what’s normal for both of my girls.
It’s such an important app to have! It was the reason I got checked over at 29 weeks with my first because she hadn’t moved as much as what was usually normal for her, luckily everything was fine. It’s so important to monitor baby’s movements and this app just makes it that little bit easier to keep track of them all 💖

Good concept but glitchy
It’s a very good idea but my app crashes at least once a day meaning If I’m in the middle of recording my sessions for the day I lose the info and it returns to 0 sessions, so I then have to try and remember what number I was up to .
Easy to use but lacks some useful functionality
The interface is good and easy to use.
While you can looks back and see the number of sessions per day, it would be much more helpful if you could then click on that day and see what the pattern of sessions is for that day by time slot.

Needs a bit of work
At the moment the graph shows total number of movements over the last 7 or 14 days. A simple tweak to break up the bar chart by using colours to indicate at what time of day those kicks took place would be much more useful.
Great bit basic app
Really useful and simple to use app. Great for keeping an eye on baby’s activity. Could do with a few improvements though - it would be really helpful to have an extra screen where you can see the time stamps of each session and add/edit/delete sessions.
Saved my baby
Downloading this app reinforced the important message to me to monitor baby’s movements. If I hadn’t mentioned the reduction the day before and complete absence of kicks that morning to my midwife at my due date checkup I wouldn’t have saved my baby. Heart rate was fine but the CTG she sent me for found distress and he was born an hour later by C section. He recovered well after a week in hospital. The app isn’t perfect but it is so important to act on what you feel and get checked. Thank you so much to the developer and charity xx

Basic, not helpful
Only records kicking sessions in four hour blocks so you’re not able to look and say ‘my baby is usually active at 11am until 12noon’ which is what you need when trying to work out what your baby’s pattern is. Looking for a better app now.
Could be improved
I think it’s a great idea from a fabulous charity - however if you are supposed to log periods of activity, you cannot look back and compare periods of activity as the blocks of time are too large (4hrs). I think if they could add this in as a comparison people would find it much more useful, personally I would.
I currently use the count the kicks band from them and am not yet getting much more out of the app

Keeps crashing
It keeps crashing and resetting my count mid-way through the day so no point in using it anymore. It would also be helpful to let you know the length of time since the last kick. Going to delete and find a different app.
Doesn’t record time of day
Agree with previous reviews - the app will only show you the time of day kick sessions were logged for the current day you are on. You can’t see any historical data on this, so there is no way to see a pattern of when baby kicks at certain times of the day, which I thought was the point.
Doesn’t save info
This was a complete waste of my time
Doesn’t keep data
Says to register to keep data, have done this and yet when I go back into the app to count more kicks yet again it has reset and shows no data ... reinstalled and no difference so no good at tracking anything!
Not Great
I don’t find this app helpful as it doesn’t record the time (or time period) that you logged a kicking session so you can’t look back over the last seven or fourteen days and identify a pattern of what times of day your baby kicks. It only records how many kicking sessions you log. I thought getting to know your baby’s kicking routine was key thing but this app doesn’t help you to do this.
